Beginning with his iconic Hellblazer comic and going on to discuss his many movie and TV appearances, we tackle some of his most iconic storylines, how various adaptations do or don't work, and why we find one British magician's poor life choices so compelling.    Media mentioned: Lockwood & Co.

Artist/writer Ming Doyle joins this episode to discuss her recent work, including last year's phenomenal woman centric mafia story, DC/Vertigo's "The Kitchen".

Currently she is pencilling "Girl Over Paris" with writer Kate Leth, based on the popular YA novels by Gwenda Bond, and has a story in "Love is Love", the comic anthology benefitting families of the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.

This episode features a very ill Eric who probably needed (or at least wanted) the week off, but Jim demanded the show go on!  Why?  Because it was Eric's Birthday this week and the podcast became a celebration of everything Eric.  While the guys always complain that everyone hates their guts, the episode is filled with some of the biggest names at DC wishing Eric a Happy Birthday!  That's right...Dan Didio, Brett Booth, Ethan Van Sciver and so many more send their wishes.  The fun continues as the boys discuss all the DC Comic books that came out this week as well as the top news stories.  As always, they are joined by Reggie for his Recklessness and Ryan for his Other Side segment.  There is no sign of Mumbo Jimbo or Professor DC this week, but there is still plenty to listen too. ----more---- DC Comics Comic Books Reviewed: Batman and Robin Eternal #10, Batman #47, Batman/Superman #27, New Suicide Squad #15, Grayson #15, Detective Comics #47, Red Hood/Arsenal #7, Telos #3, Constantine: The Hellblazer #7, Justice League: Darkseid War - Lex Luthor #1, Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, Gotham Academy #13, Green Arrow #47, Starfire #7, Catwoman #47 and Earth 2: Society #7 DC Comic News: A new Supergirl Digital First book leaked, a Legends of Tomorrow book will be released, DC Comics FCBD book is top secret and Dark Knight III is the top seller for November Follow us on Twitter: @WeirdScienceDC and Facebook @ www.facebook.com/weirdsciencedccomics email us @ weirdsciencedccomics@gmail.com and remember, we read eve4ry single email!

Jim and Eric get together to talk all of this week's DC Comics comic books and news and this week was a little better.  The books, not them as Jim gets flashbacks of being a special needs punching bag and Eric realizes that he may have tried to abduct himself using an ice cream truck.  They also learn that a fellow named Glen thinks they have a podcast full of curse words and awfulness...and then go out of their way to prove him right!  We also get a full dose of Reggie's Recklessness and Ryan Clark's Other Side segment so sit back and enjoy the nonsense.DC Comic Books reviewed: Batman and Robin Eternal #1, Batman #46, Batman/Superman #26, Batman Beyond #6, Superman: American ALien #1, Justice League: Darkseid War - Shazam #1, Justice League: Darkseid War - Green Lantern #1, Justice League United #15, The Legend of Wonder Woman #1, Starfire #6, Catwoman #46, Constantine: The Hellblazer #6, Teen Titans #13 and Red Hood/Arsenal #6DC Comics News: Suicide Squad will be PG-13, Aquaman movie gets new writer and there maybe a new Doom Patrol Comic coming.Ryan Clark's Other Side Review: The Goddamned #1Click HERE to check us out on iTunes and be sure to give us a quick reviewIf you want to send us mail, send it to weirdsciencedccomics@gmail.com and remember, we will read EVERY one on the podcast.Keywords: Comics, Comic Books, Comic Book Podcast, Comics Podcast, Batman, Superman, DC Comics, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Podcast, Comic Book, superhero, superhero podcast, DCU, DC YOU

This week’s episode was recorded on October 12th, 2015. Hosts Mike, Nick, and Paul chat comics, NYCC, and their comic picks for the week (Constantine: The Hellblazer #5, Justice League United #14, Twilight Children #1). Nick has a problem with buying comics on comiXology… But this week focuses on how comic books are marketed and the pessimism attached to that and the question: Can you actually judge a book by its cover?

It's been a tough couple of weeks in Weird Science Land...After the fallout from Eric's Batman #44 review started to settle, Twitter decided to flag the site as "malicious"!  Delicious maybe, but malicious?  While Eric tries to calm the ship, Jim has conspiracy theories and is just generally pissed off.  After Jim loses his voice and takes too much cold medicine, they hunker down to talk some comics and actually end up in a pretty good mood.  Who knows what the future holds, but one things for sure, "Bricks no hit back".DC Comic Books Reviewed: Martian Manhunter #4, Superman/Wonder Woman #21, Wonder Woman #44,Black Canary #4, Robin: SOn of Batman #4, Doomed #4, Injustice: Year Four #20, Harley Quinn #20, Batman: Arkham Knight #21, Bizarro #4, Dr. Fate #4, Green Lantern: Lost Army #4 and Constantine: The Hellblazer #4.DC Comics News: Bill Finger gets his due, Blue Beetle/Booster Gold Movie coming?
