Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Michael Bendis

Episode 87 - Murdock and Marvel: 2014 Part 2 2014 saw some sales figures that had not been achieved in decades, and pop culture was filled with comic book related movies and merchandise.  Marvel was dominant again, and along with DC again climbed back to nearly 70% of the total market share in comic shops.  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2013.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v3 #33-36, Daredevil #1.5, Daredevil v4 #1-9, Daredevil: Dark Knights #6-8, Daredevil: Road Warrior Infinite Comic #1-4 (or #0.1), Fantastic Four #2 and 5-6, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #200, Origin Sin #2-3 and #3.1, She-Hulk #4 and #8-9, Black Widow #7, Hulk #4, Captain America #25  Writer: Mark Waid and Chris Samnee (#33), Waid (#34-36 and #1-9)  Pencils: Jason Copeland (#33), Javier Rodriguez (#34 and #6-7), Chris Samnee (#35-36, #1-5 and #8-9),  Inks: Jason Copeland (#33), Alvaro Lopez (#34 and #6-7), Chris Samnee (#35-36, #1-5 and #8-9)  The year picks up right where we left off in 2012 — Matt Murdock was in Kentucky looking for info on the Darkhold, a ancient mystical book tied to the Sons of the Serpent. He was looking to track down Jack Russell, a.k.a. Werewolf by Night, hoping for answers. But before finding him, Daredevil ends up in the middle of an angry mob attacking some so-called “monsters.” He tries to stop it, gets shot, and the “monsters” — led by Russell — end up saving him. Even using some sort of restoration spell on him.  Once he's patched up, Daredevil learns about missing Darkhold pages connected to a sorcerer named Lucien Sinclair. After a few magical trials, Matt takes Sinclair down, destroys his house, and handed Sinclair over to Russell — but keeps the pages for himself before heading back to New York.  Back home, Matt and Kirsten McDuffie go bold — they take to the rooftops and broadcast a live message calling out the Sons of the Serpent. The Jester, who kicked this story off with a fake TV broadcast, is strung up on the side of a building which suggests Dardevil may be walking into a trap. Despite that, Daredevil wipes the floor with them and saves Kirsten from being gunned down by a helicopter for good measure.  Meanwhile, Foggy's cancer takes a bad turn. Two Serpent members step in with an experimental drug that temporarily saves him — but they want Daredevil's help in exchange. One has a son on death row for a fire that killed twelve people, and they're hoping Matt can help clear his name. Matt investigates the crime scene with Elektra's help, fights Mamba and Constrictor, and then surprises everyone in court by admitting under oath that he's Daredevil.  That confession sets off total chaos. The Sons of the Serpent storm the courtroom, a mistrial is called, and Daredevil fights them off. He exposes their infiltration of the Justice Department, but the fallout costs him his law license in New York. Kirsten steps in and says, “Let's get out of here,” and the two of them pack up for San Francisco.  In April, we get a Daredevil 1.5 issue with 3 stories that are celebrating Daredevil's 50th Anniversary and looking at possible futures for Matt Murdock. In “The King in Red” Daredevil takes on Jubula Pride (the Owl's Daughter) after the rest of New York is blinded. He takes down Jubula and breaks the machine causing their sight to return. There's a story from Brian Michael Bendis with art by Alex Maleev the form of a letter to a child from Stana Morgan – a woman who married Matt Murdock/Daredevil and was likely killed by Bullseye. Finally, in “The Last Will and Testament of Mike Murdock” has Matt and Foggy watching a video tape of Mike Murdock from back in the day. Written and Penciled by Karl & Kurt Kesel, Inked by Tom Palmer.  In Daredevil Road Warrior – a 4-part limited series released digitally in February and March (and later reprinted as Daredevil #0.1) in which we get the trip from New York to San Francisco for Kirsten and Matt Murdock which was far from ordinary and included several stops and plenty of fighting.  In May, we got the start of Volume 4 of Daredevil – with the same creative team that ended volume 3. Matt Murdock and Kirsten McDuffie are in San Francisco and started their own law office and Daredevil is fitting right in by saving little girls from kidnappings and/or bombs.    Over the next few issues, Daredevil goes up against SF's new kingpin of crime – The Owl – with the help of another blind vigilante The Shroud. At times it seems like Shroud and Daredevil are working together, other times they are fighting it out. It's complicated, I guess. They take down the Owl but Max/Shroud is still looking for Julia Carpenter whom he's in love with. Meanwhile Foggy, in a wheelchair and fake beard, comes to Matt's and Kirsten's new law office.   In issue 5, we get a funeral for Foggy Nelson (though he's not actually dead) after he confessed to wanting to “go out like a superhero” and then jumped into a big green machine Leapfrog used to attack San Francisco and was equipped with a bomb.  His jump allows the machine to explode safely while allowing Foggy to die a hero.  In issues 6-7, we get a two-part story as part of the Original Sin crossover event.  Daredevil is back in New York and has a vision of his father hitting his mother while he was a baby. He seeks out his mother for answers and finds out she's been arrested and is being sent to Wakanda. He investigates and uncovering a potentially illegal plot involving a US General and Wakandan officials, he confronts Queen Shuri about it and secures her release. Finally able to ask about the vision, he learns she left due to postpartum depression. The story ends with a heartfelt reconciliation between Maggie and her son.  The year wraps up by setting up the next big arc — Kilgrave, the Purple Man, and his superpowered children — which spills into 2015. Which we'll need to wait until then to discuss.  Lastly, we'll talk about the Daredevil: Dark Knights limited series. This 8-book collection contains three stories – the first story “Angels Unaware” is write and penciled by Lee Weeks and is about Daredevil braving a snowstorm to get a heart from a crashed helicopter meant for a young girl. The second story, titled “A man named Buggit” written and penciled by David Lapham in which Daredevil follows a 10-inch man who has stolen evidence needed to save a client. The final story is titled “In the Name of the King” and shows a team-up of Daredevil and Misty Knight in the Caribbean written by Jimmy Palmiotti and penciled by Thony Silas. Honestly the less said about the last story the better.  This Week's Spotlight: No Spotlight This Week! Sorry.

Entre rêve et réalité, futur et passé, l'équipe de ComicsDiscovery part à la chasse auserial killer dans 1949 de Dustin Weaver, publié chezDelcourt. Ce polar nous entraîne aux côtés de la lieutenante Blank,partagée entre deux vies séparées par deux siècles. Une enquête qui dépasse les frontières du temps,un tueur insaisissable et une ambiance à mi-chemin entre film noir et science-fiction : on vous racontepourquoi ce titre intrigue autant qu'il surprend. 1949 de Dustin WeaverDustin Weaver est un artiste américain de bande dessinée, né le 3 octobre 1978 àSan Diego (Californie) et ayant grandi à Eagle River (Alaska). Il débute officiellement dans le milieu en 2003,après un passage en tant que stagiaire au sein de WildStorm Studios. Au fil de sa carrière,il a travaillé pour des éditeurs majeurs comme Dark Horse Comics, notamment sur la sérieStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, puis pour Marvel Comics,où il a collaboré à des récits autour des X-Men et à la première mini-sérieS.H.I.E.L.D.: Architects of Forever. Weaver est aujourd'hui reconnu pour son trait détaillé,ses compositions ambitieuses et sa capacité à naviguer entre science-fiction, polaret récits d'action. Une époque sombre et violenteLe lecteur suit l'agent Blank, chargée par le FBI de traquer un mystérieuxserial killer qui laisse derrière lui un étrange liquide sur chacune de ses victimes.Dans cette partie du récit, Dustin Weaver plonge pleinement dans les codes dupolar classique : un noir et blanc élégant, des ruelles poisseuses, des flics véreux,une héroïne forte, une violence jamais gratuite, mais toujours pesante. Le travail graphique de Weaver est superbe,jouant avec les ombres et la lumière pour renforcer l'atmosphère oppressante. Retour vers le futurL'autre moitié de ce récit singulier nous projette dans un futur lointain, où l'héroïne sembleévoluer dans un corps robotique, presque déshumanisé. Cette partie du comics troque l'ambiancepolar pour une véritable quête identitaire : qui est-elle réellement ? Quel est son rôle dans ce mondetechnologique et froid qui ne lui renvoie aucune trace de son passé ? À intervalles réguliers, elle est hantée parl'apparition du visage d'une vieille femme, dont elle ne comprend ni le message ni l'intention. Weaver joue ici avecl'abstraction, les ruptures de ton et une mise en scène plus sensorielle, qui tranche volontairement avec le noir etblanc du passé. Et on en a pensé quoi ?Malgré des thématiques intéressantes et un pitch qui avait tout pour être alléchant,Dustin Weaver peine malheureusement à nous accrocher pleinement à son récit.Le lien entre les deux époques censées se répondre et se nourrir l'une l'autre reste flou, trop ténu pour créerl'effet de révélation attendu. On sent clairement sa volonté de construire un récit à twist, à l'image deL'Échelle de Jacob ou Angel Heart, mais la mécanique narrative nesuit pas toujours, et on peine à comprendre où il souhaite nous emmener. Heureusement, la partie graphique, elle, est absolument splendide. C'est clairement un« comics de dessinateur » dans le meilleur sens du terme, et cela compense en grande partie lesfaiblesses du scénario. Les deux époques ont chacune une identité visuelle marquée : un noir et blanc tranchant,presque sale, pour le polar ; une esthétique futuriste plus claire, organique etétrangement apaisante pour la partie futuriste. Weaver y démontre une maîtrise remarquable, entre les influencesvisibles de Moebius pour la SF et celles de Frank Millerpour la partie noire. Visuellement, c'est un véritable régal. Reste que l'on se dit que le projet aurait peut-être gagné en force siDustin Weaver avait collaboré avec un·e scénariste. Son univers et son trait sont puissants,mais un regard extérieur aurait sans doute permis d'ancrer davantage le récit et de renforcer les enjeux entre les deuxlignes temporelles.

Not again! Chip Kidd and Michael Cho are the latest comic book creators to find their way, literally, into comics. The Avengers in the Veracity Trap, published as part of the Marvel Arts imprint of Abrams ComicArts, propels the titular superheroes from their dimension into ours, revealing that Kidd and Cho control their free will. The oversized original graphic novel is a stunning-looking comic, thanks to Michael Cho making magic with sequentials, taking a short break from his usual stellar cover work. What is it about comics? Read enough of them, and suddenly you want to be in them. The medium invites invasion, calling folks like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Grant Morrison, Brian Michael Bendis, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and others to throw themselves upon the panels. Maybe it's because, as children, we wrap this flatland universe around us like a blanket. It's comfy and protective. It's where we want to go when the third dimension reveals itself as too damn physical with our soft little bodies. Chip Kidd joins the podcast this week to discuss how he once again wormed his way into comic book panels (yeah, this is not his first offense. See also, Batman: Death by Design and Alex Ross's Marvelocity). We discuss how "The Veracity Trap" has become a valuable concept for us personally as we struggle with the strings that direct our movements these days. As usual, the conversation gets philosophical, breaking down free will and the troubled waters between artist and audience. The Avengers in the Veracity Trap is now available wherever rad comics are sold. Make sure you follow Chip Kidd on Instagram.

Read transcriptWelcome web-slinging warriors and joystick jockeys to another thrilling episode of Play Comics where we untangle the sticky situation of comic-to-game adaptations with the precision of Peter Parker trying to explain away his sudden photography skills! This week we're diving headfirst into the cel-shaded spectacular that is Ultimate Spider-Man, the 2005 game that took Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley's comic masterpiece and somehow convinced every gaming platform from here to the Daily Bugle that they needed a piece of this web-slinging action. Released across more systems than Spider-Man has quips in his arsenal—PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS—this Treyarch-developed adventure let players experience both sides of the symbiote coin. Whether you were swinging through Manhattan as everyone's favorite wise-cracking wall-crawler or stomping around as the terrifyingly toothy Venom, this game promised to deliver more comic book authenticity than J. Jonah Jameson has anti-Spider-Man editorials. Joining us for this ultimate discussion are two absolute legends from the podcasting multiverse: Derek B Gayle and Doug Fink, the dynamic duo behind Walloping Websnappers and a whole constellation of other fantastic shows on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective that may not be directly relevant to our web-slinging shenanigans today, but are undeniably brilliant nonetheless. When they're not busy dissecting every Spider-Man cartoon ever created or exploring the depths of various other pop culture phenomena, these two bring their encyclopedic knowledge of all things Spider to help us determine whether this game truly captured the essence of the Ultimate universe or if it just left us feeling like we'd been caught in one of Green Goblin's elaborate schemes. So dust off those early 2000s gaming controllers, practice your best Venom growl, and prepare for an episode that's guaranteed to be more entertaining than watching Eddie Brock try to explain his sudden career change from journalism to alien symbiote hosting! Learn such things as: Can you make a game that really fits in with the continuity of the comics AND have it stay that way? Will we sucker any artists into making Venomized versions of The Muppets? What kind of good butt battle would ensue between Venom and Captain America? And so much more! You can find Derek and Doug on a bunch of stuff on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective, including Walloping Websnappers, Skreeonk!, and Falling With Style. You can also find Doug on Novel Gaming and on BlueSky @ickybooley. You can also find Derek on Gimmicks and Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge, and on BlueSky @derekbgayle.

We're back, baby! And so is the powerhouse creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their groundbreaking series Powers, which debuted in 2000 and helped establish the modern creator-owned comics landscape! The duo reflects on how they first met, how they developed the distinctive visual style and noir sensibilities that made Powers stand out, and the evolution of their creative partnership over two and a half decades of collaboration. We explore the development of Walker and Pilgrim as characters, the importance of creative freedom in tackling mature themes, and how their procedural cop drama approach to superhero storytelling influenced countless stories that followed. Brian and Michael also share insights into maintaining a successful long-term creative collaboration and reviving the series for Powers 25, the first issues of which debuts next week, on 9/10/25! You can find and follow both Brian and Michael on Instagram and Bluesky: @brianmbendis and @oeming!Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Episode 71 - Murdock and Marvel: 2006 Part 2 Last week in the takeaway we talked about how 2005 had elements that pointed to a new golden age for comics, and there were elements that pointed to dangerous days ahead.  Well, if 2006 is any indication, Golden Age it is...   This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2006.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #79-90, Daredevil vs Punisher #6, Daredevil: Father #5, Fantastic Four: The Wedding Special #1, Spider-Man Unlimited #12, Black Widow 2 #4-6, Playmates Toys #1, Spider-Man /Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do #4-6, Marvel Zombies #2-3, Pulse #13, Thing #3  X-Statix Presents: Dead Girl #1, I Heart Marvel: Marvel Ai #1, Marvel Team-Up #17 and 20, New Mangaverse #2, Amazing Spider-Man #530 and 534, Thunderbolts #100/105/107, Doc Samson #4, Wolverine #42, Exiles #83, Cable & Deadpool #31, Fantastic Four #539, New Avengers #22 and 24, Marvel Select Flip Magazine #16-17, Civil War #1-6, Civil War: Choosing Sides #1, Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways #1, Civil War: Frontline #10  Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#79-81), Ed Brubaker (#82-90)  Pencils: Alex Maleev (#79-81), Michael Lark (#82-87 and #89-90), David Aja (#88)  Inks: Alex Maleev (#79-81), Michael Lark (#82), Stefano Gaudiano (#83-87 and #89-90), David Aja (#88)  The year begins with the final three issues of The Murdock Papers from Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev.  In April, We get a new creative team and a new story arch with three parts centered around Matt Murdock in prison.  The first is entitled The Devil in Cell-Block D and in it, Brubaker and Lark do the unthinkable – while visiting Matt in prison, Foggy and their assistant Dakota are assaulted – with Foggy being stabbed while Murdock is unable to help while bring locked up in solitary confinement. The story ends with Matt Murdock frantically screaming, "His heart is still beating," over and over.  As the story continues, we see a funeral for Foggy (which Murdock is able to attend) and we see someone is running around the city in the Daredevil costume on – which does seem to help Murdock's case for not being our horned hero. In August, we see Fisk and Murdock working together to survive a prison riot and after Murdock escapes from prison with the help of the recently incarcerated Punisher.    In the finale of The Devil in Cell Block D, Murdock hunts down the other Daredevil – who turns out to be Iron Fist – who was trying to help keep Murdock's secret identity hidden. Matt decides to leave the country for Monaco to find the man responsible for having Foggy killed. But Foggy is alive and well and hiding under the witness protection program. The warden believes Matt was truly a helpless victim of Punishers and goes public with this on TV.  Next we catch up with the recently revealed to be alive Foggy Nelson in a single-issue story called “The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson. In it we see him try to reach out to Ben Urich and others but he is stopped by the FBI who are “protecting” him.  Finally, to finish off the 2006 – which bleeds into 2007 – we travel to Europe (specifically Monaco to start with) for Murdock's hunt for a lawyer, Alton Lennox, who helped “kill” Foggy Nelson entitled The Devil Takes a Ride. In it, he teams up with a mob bosses daughter who turns out to double cross him. He confronts her (and Tombstone) in Paris and tells her he's not so easily fooled. Daredevil finally finds out who has been behind everything and it turns out to be the wife of his most hated enemy, Vanessa Fisk. When Murdock confronts her in Zurich, we learn she is dying and he manipulated Murdock to get him to help free Wilson Fisk as her dying wish. Murdock initially refuses, but she knows he'll eventually agree and sets her plan in motion – killing Leland Drummond, the FBI director going after Murodck.   The Devil takes a Ride concludes with Matt finding out Foggy is still alive and also helping release the Kingpin from prison to honor Vanessa's memory. Though he has the Kingpin agree to have his U.S. Citizenship revoked and that Fisk will have to leave the country. Foggy agrees with Matt's idea to move their law firm to a new location as well as changing their business method of accepting clients from referrals only to avoid drawing attention from DD's enemies. It was also decided that Becky Blake will join their firm as a law partner (Nelson, Blake, and Murdock). Matt also moves him and Milla to a new apartment as well since too many of his enemies already knew the address of his previous apartment.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #82 April 2006 “The Devil in Cell-Block D Part One”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway It doesn't get any better than this.  Comics in 2006 are at the top of their form both in terms of their content and their cultural impact.

THIS WEEK: Riri Williams has arrived! I give my thoughts on the first three episodes of Marvel's latest series. The cast, the story, and how well this show captures the essence of the comic by Brian Michael Bendis. Plus, I discuss all the news from our favorite fandoms this week, including this unusual casting for the upcoming Street Fighter film.

Episode 69 - Murdock and Marvel: 2005 Part 2 It was a great year in comics, and maybe a turning point.  Movies, events and accolades abounded.  But somehow it all worries me a bit, in retrospect.  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2005.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #67-78, Daredevil: Redemption #1-6, Daredevil: Father #1-4, Exiles #54, 56 and 62, Marvel Age Spider-Man #15, New Avengers #1-3 and 11, Powerless #6, Ultimate Elektra #4-5, Bullseye: Greatest Hits #4, Marvel Knight 4 #13, What if…Karen Page Had Lived? #1, Wolverine #23-24, Marvel Knights Spider-Man #11, Ultimates 2 #3, Hercules #1, Marvel Nemesis: The Imperfects #2-6, Marvel Team-Up #9-10, Daredevil vs Punisher #1-5, House of M #5-7, Ultimate Fantastic Four #22, Black Widow 2 #1-2, Defenders #4, Secret War #5, Weapon X: Days of Future Now #4 along with the Elektra: On the Rise, New Avengers: Pot of Gold, Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel Visionaries: Stan Lee graphic novels  Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#67-78)   Pencils: Alex Maleev (#67-78)  Inks: Alex Maleev (#67-78)  The year begins with the continuation of the Golden Age storyline that starts in December. In it, we learn immediately about Alexander Bont (the Kingpin before Wilson Fisk). He was released from prison and plans to get revenge on Daredevil and Matt Murdock for helping him go to prison. Across the 5 issues, we see just how powerful Bont was and how Daredevil got him arrested as well as how Murdock made sure he went to prison for most of his life. Bont enlists the reformed Gladiator to kidnap and beat Murdock before attempting to reveal his now widely known secret on the streets of Hell's Kitchen.  Meanwhile, Agent Del Toro of the FBI approaches Matt Murdock asking for help understanding why he and others are superheroes and how to come to terms with her inheriting the White Tiger Amulet from her now deceased uncle Hector Ayala. Murdock as Daredevil does help, helping her to learn to use the Amulet and her new powers – which comes in handy as Del Toro is the one who comes to Murdock's rescue from Gladiator and Bont.   After that, we get one of my favorite Bendis stories to date – Decalogue. In it, we see a support group, the Devil Among Us, trying to come to grips of their re-ins with our horned hero. Things start with a junkie telling how she started going straight after seeing her boyfriend and his enlisted help Bullet get taken down when they had designs for taking over for Kingpin after Daredevil's proclamation, he was the new Kingpin. We get a story from another group member about failing to honor his father's wish from prison to have Foggy Nelson killed.   From there, the stories and the group take a turn. The DD support group continues and the wife of a super-powered serial killer tells how DD tracked down her husband but refused to let him fall to his death; The killer's last intended victim whom DD saved turns out to be a member of the group and doesn't take kindly to the story of a troubled man plagued by demons.   The DD support group continues with the tale of one of Milla Donovan's friends who went to her wedding with Matt Murdock and whose daughter later killed herself after surviving a bank robbery by the Jester. A goading and mysterious member of the group pipes up and promises there are deep dark secrets in all these tales and points out that Matt Murdock is there in the group with them; And he is.  The story ends with Murdock confronting the Demon that had possessed the Jester (and is currently inhabiting the mysterious member of the group) and interfered with so many lives after which he tries to explain to the group why he does the things he does; For the first time, Matt Murdock publicly admits to outsiders that he is DD.  After that, we get one last story from Brian Michael Bendis that spills over into 2006 – The Murdock papers. In it, we see the Kingpin attempt to use the knowledge of Murdock's secret identity to leverage a pardon for all his crimes from the FBI all with Ben Urich unwilling assistance. Claiming he has physical evidence proving Murdock is Daredevil, he gets Urich to write a story saying Kingpin is willing to tell all – forcing the FBI to decide to pursue a case against Murdock rather than their very weak case against Fisk.   At the same time, Milla Donovan has a change of heart and wants to be with Murdock again – which he happily wants as well.  This leads to Elektra and Black Widow (along with the recently fired Agent Del Toro) trying to help Daredevil get the papers before the FBI does from Fisk's lawyer's office. There's a big confrontation that includes Bullseye and in which Daredevil gets shot and is briefly presumed dead. Fisk reveals that the papers were a lie and meant to flush Daredevil out so the FBI could arrest him.   The conclusion of this epic storyline (and the Bendis run on Daredevil) will be our spotlight for this year…  This Week's Spotlight: #80 February 2006 “The Murdock Papers Part 5” and Daredevil #81 March 2006 “The Murdock Papers Part 6” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway The beginning of an Golden Age?

With the final volume of Brian Michael Bendis and André Araújo's Phenomena on shelves now, we got the chance to dig into the series with them. Dan spends a lot of time chatting with the team about building this fascinating world from the ground up, what world-building looked like for them, and more. There is a focus on the art in this interview with André talking about building scenes and his approach to the scope of his work. This is a must-read for sci-fi fans of all ages. Check out the interview and make sure to pick up all three volumes wherever you get your books from Abrams Books! Phenomena is the story of a young boy named Boldon and his warrior friend Spike—survivors of a phenomena that took over Earth years ago. Not an apocalypse . . . something far more interesting. We follow Boldon and Spike as they are forced to team up with another lost orphan of the world, Matilde. The trio of heroes go on a globetrotting adventure that takes them to a magical, mysterious place called the Golden City of Eyes. As they quest across this epically crazy new world looking for answers and purpose, they face off against dark forces big and small, changing the world better along the way. In each book in the series, our heroes travel to different parts of the magical world of Phenomena by various modes of transportation, each more and more fantastical than the mode that preceded it. Each journey is personal, and every chapter takes the trio toward a different, visually iconic destination, and each location, character, and chapter reveals clues to the shape of the world and how they got there—and, ultimately, their purpose. With Phenomena, Brian Michael Bendis and André Lima Araújo deliver a universe chock-full of unforgettable characters, full-tilt action, and stunning imagination and world-building that is perfect for fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Episode 67 - Murdock and Marvel: 2004 Part 2 2004 was a relatively quiet year in comics, but there were some critical developments that made waves into the future.  Big movies, heroes back from the dead, and some important new faces! This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2004.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #54-66, Daredevil: Father #1, Daredevil 2099 #1, Punisher #35-37, Exiles #39 and #43, Spider-Man Unlimited #1, Elektra #35, Marvel 1602 #8, Secret War #2-3, Powerless #1-5, Ultimate Elektra #1-3  Writing: David Mack (#54-55), Brian Michael Bendis (#56-66)  Pencils: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  Inks: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  The year begins late in 2003, as we noted two weeks ago with our 2003 discussion, with the return of David Mack to writing and art and Maya Lopez in the book itself. She's returned to New York and is looking to reconnect with Daredevil. After he shares he's now with someone else, she instead visits with a chief her father knew and goes on a vision quest. There, with the help of a man shaped in the form of a wolverine, helps her understand a story her father used to tell her and helps her realize who she is. She goes back to Daredevil and bids him goodbye with a kiss.  From there, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev return with a story called The King of Hell's Kitchen. We learn it's been a year since the confrontation between Kingpin and Daredevil and according to Ben Urich – Daredevil has been very busy cleaning up the kitchen while also taking some flack about his methods from other superheroes.   His latest dealings have been against the Yakuza and after a large battle Daredevil's gone missing. Milla Donovan reached out to Urich to find him and during their discussion we learned that 4 months ago she and Murdock got married. Urich finds Murdock and reunited the married couple – but not before suggesting the events of the last year are all his way coping with the death of Karen Page. With a little help from some super powered friends, Daredevil puts a stop to the Yakuza plot to take over Hell's Kitchen. Milla confronts Matt about his problems over the death of Karen Page and before leaving her husband.  Next we get storyline featuring another of Matt's love interests, the Black Widow, in a story called “The Widow”. Black Widow gets “called in” be SHIELD and realizing it's a trap – instead goes to visit Matt Murdock in New York hoping she can hide in plain sight. The pair take down Jigsaw and upon making bail – he goes back to Murdock asking permission to run crime through Hell's kitchen (since he's the new Kingpin). Matt isn't amused.  Turns out the hiding in plain sight didn't work as the two get shot at by a hired assassin while having lunch. The pair go after the assassin and after that Natasha finally shares the reason for her visit. Though the conversation is cut short as Jigsaw and his men have entered Murdock's home and Matt can't fight them as daredevil and revealing his lie. In the end, we learn a Bulgarian minister and Natasha's ex-husband were behind the ordeal and Matt begrudgingly gives Milla the annulment to their marriage.  In November, we get a HUGE 40th Anniversary Special issue. This story backtracks over the 1 year time period that Matt Murdock was outed as Daredevil that Ben Urich told us about during the King of Hell's Kitchen story earlier this year. To do so, the Bendis and Maleev called on a host of other artists to tell the story. This seems like the perfect book for this week's spotlight.  There is one more book this year, But it starts another storyline – so we'll save that for our 2005 discussion.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #65 November 2004 “The Universe” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Reading Marvel is great, but when you see Jean Grey die for the second time, Marvel has told you its story, and its time to start looking into other publishers.

What happens when the world's greatest villains masquerade as its most beloved heroes? In this week's episode of the Major Issues Podcast, the gang dives deep into the first 9 issues of Dark Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato Jr.! Spinning out of the events of Secret Invasion, Norman Osborn has been handed the keys to the kingdom—and he wastes no time assembling a twisted version of the Avengers filled with killers, manipulators, and madmen. We break down the deception, power plays, and psychological warfare that make this title a defining chapter of Marvel's “Dark Reign” era. From Sentry's instability to Moonstone's manipulation, and Ares' reluctant involvement to Osborn's descent into madness—nothing is off-limits.

Living Hell introduces readers to Jerome Jameel—a husband, father, and demon who has escaped Hell to start a new life on Earth. What inspired you to create a protagonist with such a complex duality?​2. The series blends elements of humor, heart, and darkness, drawing comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Good Omens. How did you approach balancing these tones within the narrative?​3. As both the writer and artist for Living Hell, how did your creative process evolve when developing the visual style to complement the story's supernatural themes?​4. The concept of Hell as a prison where demons have lived in exile is intriguing. Can you elaborate on your interpretation of Hell and how it influences the characters' motivations?​5. Jerome's encounter with a bounty hunter from Hell sets the plot in motion. Without giving too much away, what can readers expect from this confrontation and its impact on Jerome's new life?​6. Living Hell is your creator-owned debut. What challenges and rewards have you experienced in bringing your own vision to life through this series?​7. The series is described as a four-issue miniseries. How did you structure the storyline to ensure a satisfying arc within this format?​8. (Fun/Silly Question!) If you were a demon escaping Hell to live incognito on Earth, what profession would you choose to blend in, and why?​

All the names on the cover of Welcome to Twilight: From the World of Minor Threats #2 join us for the show this week to talk about working through new story developments as they come, whether it's intimidating to come into a universe with so many elements already built in, depicting flashbacks visually, fast food, and a whole lot more!We make our show on Zencastr, and you can too! Follow this link to sign up now!

This interview kicks off with absolute chaos and doesn't slow down until the credits roll. Brian Michael "B-Money" Bendis and Soo Lee join Dan to talk about WELCOME TO TWILIGHT Issue #2. This is their first installment in the Minor Threats Universe! We dig into their issue, their new characters, and so much more in our extremely fun chat. Oh also, Bendis talks about the time he signed a living breathing dog, but he had NOTHING to do with the CGC grading! WELCOME TO TWILIGHT is the first anthology series from the world of Minor Threats that lines up absolute superstar teams to tell stories set through the Minor Threats Universe. In Issue 2, A brand-new character so dangerous she was never spoken of until now. Find out her connections to the past and how they're gonna affect the future of the city. Co-created by the creator of the Peabody-winning Jessica Jones and the Bram Stoker (Not Stroker, that's a very different and much sexier award show which we talk about) award-winning co-creator of Carmilla, Soo Lee! Soo Lee talks about the design of the new character Dokkaebi with her own heritage and anime influences. As someone who is an expert on the Minor Threats universe, she is my favorite addition since Crab Louie. She fits so well, and I cannot wait to see where she goes from this absolutely STELLAR introduction WELCOME TO TWILIGHT. Bendis discusses his return not only to writing cape comics but also to writing comics in a shared space like this. He discusses how inspiring the duo of Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum is as someone who loves collaborating with people. We all spend a lot of time gushing over Minor Threats, and I am not sorry about it. If you aren't reading the Minor Threats line... You're missing out on the absolute ultimate thing in comics.

A year ago, Scott Morse found himself adrift, severed from a stable income and a defined creative path. Panic was an option. So was fear. Instead, he chose collaboration and creation. This Ink Runs Cold: Short Stories from the Space-Crime Continuum smashes two of his favorite genres between its pages. It's an anthology of one-page pulp stories written by 89 different writers, all drawn by Scott Morse and colored by José Villarrubia. Many of these writers are seasoned comic veterans, animators, and filmmakers. The table of contents includes Mike Allred, Brian Michael Bendis, Jorge Gutierrez, Derek Kirk Kim, Dave McKean, Fábio Moon, Scott Mosier, Eric Powell, Stan Sakai, and on and on and on. Even better, for our purposes anyway, This Ink Runs Cold includes numerous comic book newcomers, including us - Brad and Lisa Gullickson! As of this writing, This Ink Runs Cold has one week left on Kickstarter. Scott Morse and Allen Spiegel Fine Arts offer two editions: the Full-Color version featuring José Villarrubia's wizardry and the limited Black and White Noir version, showcasing Scott Morse's beautiful brushwork. Having knocked out some stretch goals, those backing the Bookplate and Noir/1-2 Punch tiers will get an extra book, The Brush-Offs. This is a 24-page bonus book featuring unused art, abandoned pages, scripts, an alternate prologue/epilogue, and an analysis of this unique writer/artist collaboration. We're beyond honored to contribute one page to This Ink Runs Cold; we're practically in disbelief. Today's podcast is the first time we have featured a story we helped create, and it's an incredibly emotional experience. We're grateful to Scott Morse for coming on the show, explaining how This Ink Runs Cold grew from a mini-devastation, and why this intense injection of collaboration reinvigorated him. We also had the opportunity to explain what our short story "The ADHD P.I." means to us and how it helped us process some anxiety and self-loathing. Working with one page was ridiculously challenging, and what's most exciting is seeing how 88 other writers tackled that challenge and used that finite space in infinite ways. We also start this week's episode with our recent trip to WonderCon and an LAX nightmare we will never forget. If you're here only for the Scott Morse chatter, we won't begrudge you for skipping ahead, but you'll miss out on another outlandish story. This Week's Sponsors: You wake in a hospital bed.
