The Savage Dragon [vol 1] #2 (1992)Carrying on with the saga of The Savage Dragon, we pick up the Dragon in the Chicago sewers looking for an obese spider man (as opposed to Spider-Man or Spider-Ham). Dragon's been running ragged fighting crime and almost gets some companionship from his Daisy Dukes wearing neighbor gal. Unfortunately, Hellrazor and his cronies have taken over the mall, sat on ALL the chairs in the Brookstone and finished off the entirety of the bourbon chicken in the food court, leaving the Windy City paralyzed with fear. But as we've seen, Savage Dragon goes hard….but does he go TOO HARD?!?Also, we have an extended discussion about WrestleMania XL this past weekend.

DescriptionPodcast Rodeo Show: Reviews and First Impressions of Your Podcast is a podcast about the craft of comics. Tim, Brandon, Kumar, and guest reviewers discuss a variety of comics (both recent work and classics) and present interviews with a variety of comics creators -- mainstream, indy, and even international! And in our occasional "Critiquing Comics" episodes, Tim and Mulele will even critique YOUR comic! Whether you've got a comic going and you're trying to promote it, or you haven't even started yet and need some help getting rolling, we hope you'll come here for inspiration and tips. And there's plenty of interest for the casual comic book or graphic novel fan, as well! Website: https://deconstructingcomics.com/ (https://deconstructingcomics.com/) What I Liked About This EpisodeI liked that you introduced yourselves so I could identify the speakers, and you got right to the intro. You then introduced the comic that you would be reviewing. What I Thought Could Use Some PolishingThe intro music needs cut in half. I LIKED that Ryan disclosed he knew the author, but I wasn't sure how relevant it was that Jack gets him confused with another author. Ryan's audio needs work. He should get closer to the microphone. See your https://www.podcastrodeoshow.com/gear (gear guide) for suggestions. I would introduce the comic, explain the general idea of it, and then get to if you liked it or not and why. Check out https://youtu.be/eq3VDPoiS5s?t=85 (Siskel and Ebert). The magic of these two was that they rarely agreed on a movie which made for great tension. I would be the testimonials to the bottom of your description. The Goal Of This ShowThis show aims to help you make the best episodes and grow your downloads.

More than one attempt was made to include Two-Face among the villains of Batman '66. We've already discussed Peter Rabe's attempt; this time, we discuss a treatment by science fiction legend Harlan Ellison, The Two-Way Crimes of Two-Face. Why didn't it go to a full script? What would have needed to be changed to fit the rules of the Batman '66 world? How well does the 2014 comics adaptation, Batman '66: The Lost Episode, capture both Ellison's idea and the tone of the show? We touched on these issues in Deconstructing Comics 463 back in 2015, but this time we dig deeper! ALSO: The Iscamania version of the Batman theme, and your response to episode 172 on Mr. Zero!

Part of Adam West’s renaissance as a performer, once his fans were old enough to cast him in stuff, was voicing various versions of himself in cartoons. One of these was in Nickelodeon show The Fairly OddParents, in which “TV’s Adam West” was the famous actor who had played the hero “Catman” — but thought he really was Catman! This time we take a look at Adam’s appearances on the show. Also: The 7th issue of the Batman ’66 comic book, featuring False Face! Art by past Deconstructing Comics interviewee Christopher Jones. One of the weirdest Batman theme versions we’ve found yet: Celio Balona's "Tema de Batman". Get your tent and your Coleman stove; we’re going on another camping trip, this time exploring why the implausibilities of Batman ’66, and other shows of its time, may not fly with today's young-adult TV viewers; We read your reaction to episode 154’s discussion of Batfink and Waldo Kitty; And a few tidbits gleaned so far from our listener survey, which you can still submit here!

This episode is a real sink and swim effort for any listener who hasn't played the Dragon Age video game series. Emmet reached out to Aimee Hart from Gayming Magazine after reading her article Here's Why You Should Play Dragon Age 2, Like, Right Now. Following up on Aimee's piece, which identifies a number of ambitious themes featured in the writing for this much maligned game, this episode also touches on the gameplay, choosing the personality for main character Hawke, criticisms of Dragon Age 2, and how it sits with other entries in the franchise Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Inquisition. On and Dragon Age 2 came out 9 years ago, so there are spoilers aplenty in this discussion. And for fans of the series, here's Emmet's interview with Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir the writing team behind Dragon Age: Blue Wraith, over on Deconstructing Comics.

After, well, a slight delay, Deconstructing Comics continues its look at Alan Moore’s 1980s run on Swamp Thing— a run in which the title character met werewolves and vampires (as Moore and co. found a new way to use these old tropes), as well as new character John Constantine.
