Government spooks and tunnel rat slashers. Crack strikes again. The city has gone crooked, rained out, lost. It needs something true. Straight. Something spine light, with eagle feathers fletching. Strong enough to kill.
¿Qué tienen en común Daredevil y Green Arrow? Entre otras cosas, que ambos son héroes de corte callejero y que fueron relanzados por el mismo guionista de cara a establecerlos a ambos para el siglo XXI. Nos referimos (¡oh, sorpresa!) a Kevin Smith, que a finales de los noventa hizo ocho números de la nueva "Marvel Knights: Daredevil" con la saga "Diablo Guardian" y que a principios del siglo XXI daría el salto a DC para hacer quince números de "Green Arrow" ("Carcaj" y otras historias). En este episodio charlamos sobre ambas y sobre como afecta el paso del tiempo al releer historias que en su momento nos fliparon, entre nuestras tonterías habituales.

This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, we're covering a major piece of industry news and a wild new DC launch — plus some deep-cut collector picks.Breaking News: Torpedo Comics is closing, and we talk through what that means for collectors, retailers, and the shifting realities of the direct market - https://www.instagram.com/p/DYsHtJURoBa/Hot Book of the Week: Absolute Green Arrow #1 (DC, 2026) — the premiere issue that reimagines Green Arrow as a serial killer targeting billionaires, and also introduces Black Canary into the Absolute Universe. It's still at cover price for now, but we're watching where this goes.Old Fart Rule: Justice #1 (Marvel, 1986) — a strange, debated entry in Marvel's New Universe experiment, with Archie Goodwin on the first issue and a premise that didn't quite match the line's “world outside your window” pitch.Underrated Books of the Week:Swords of Cerebus #1 (Aardvark-Vanaheim, 1981) — an early experiment in collected editions that helped pave the way for the graphic novel boom.Frankenstein #1 (Marvel, 1973) — a Mike Ploog horror standout, adapted from Mary Shelley, with raw copies still approachable while top-grade slabs can climb into serious money.Plus viewer mail, Show & Tell, and new member shoutouts.Become a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join

Gameweek 38 – the final Gameweek of the FPL season!
This week, the boys take a look at the seminal Green Arrow story's beginning and - guess what? - Zach wants to read the whole thing!
First things first, have you got your copy of Absolute Green Arrow #1? Have you read it? Okay, good. You may proceed. This week, we're going full spoilers with writer Pornsak Pichetshote and artist Rafael Albuquerque, discussing the person behind the Longbow Killer's mask. We pitch our theories. Pornsak and Rafael hear them. We read their microexpressions for clues. Absolute Green Arrow #1 hit comic shops today (Wednesday, May 20th). It's bound to stir some serious conversation. Some folks will react with discomfort, and that discomfort is an invitation for consideration and conversation, a mode DC's Absolute Universe excels in. As Pornsak Pichetshote says during our chat, Absolute Green Arrow is an angry book. It's a reflection of the world outside our window today, and it should get you thinking about life beyond the pages you're holding. The extremity pursued in this book, and other Absolute titles, is about more than looking badass. It's a way to capture an emotional truth we're all experiencing in 2026. This week, we talk Longbow Killer suspects. We discuss the Italian horror slashers that inspired their green hooded killer, how unhinged wealth dehumanizes everyone, and why serialization is superior to binge entertainment. Absolute Green Arrow #1 is a single issue that excels as a single issue. The first chapter is out now. It's written by Pornsak Pichetshote, illustrated by Rafael Albuquerque, colored by Marcelo Maiolo, and lettered by Jeff Powell. Make sure you follow Pornsak Pichetshote on Bluesky and Instagram and Rafael Albuquerque on Bluesky and Instagram.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK!
The crew returns to finish building Pathfinder 2e Fighters, but first they must survive the true final boss of tabletop podcasting: technical difficulties, cursed spell names, mysterious bugs, and Tyler being physically defeated by his cat (again). Somewhere between Spider Missile, Bigby's Big Spider, and a cat-based sneak attack on the microphone cables, the episode remembers it is supposed to be about Fighters. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we continue building Pathfinder 2e Fighters from levels 11 through 20, and the class goes from reliable martial powerhouse to legally questionable blender with opinions. Randall keeps chasing the dream of the biggest possible hit, Tyler builds a reaction-fueled control monster with a gnome flickmace, and Ash leans into the archer fantasy with trick shots, ricochets, and enough arrows to make every hallway a liability. The discussion covers high-level Fighter class feats, armor and weapon proficiency progression, automatic bonus progression, ancestry feats, and the awkward joy of realizing halfway through a build that you should have planned for a composite longbow. Along the way, the hosts talk through why planning a Pathfinder 2e character to level 20 can save pain later, why Pathbuilder is a gift to society, and why high-level Fighters are so good at critting that some feats sound better than they actually are. Also, Quorra the cat attacks Tyler's setup, which is probably the most accurate simulation of a Pathfinder encounter in the entire episode. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e Fighters become legendary with their chosen weapon group at level 13, making them terrifyingly accurate compared to other martial characters. High-level Fighter feats can dramatically shape a build, from Whirlwind Strike and Overwhelming Blow to Impossible Volley and Weapon Supremacy. Automatic bonus progression helps track expected gear math, including armor bonuses, weapon damage dice, and apex attribute boosts. Planning a Pathfinder 2e build ahead matters, especially when weapon traits, feat chains, and ability boosts affect long-term effectiveness. Archery builds can work well, but they require more careful feat and equipment planning than some melee Fighter builds. Reactions become a huge part of Tyler's control build, especially with riposte options that punish enemies for missing. Weapon Supremacy is a strong capstone because being permanently quickened for extra Strikes is exactly what Fighters want. Cats remain undefeated against podcast equipment.

This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, we've got a mix of modern market movement, deep collector history, and two underrated books that deserve a second look.Hot Book of the Week: We're talking about a true Golden Age grail that's seeing a major surge in activity after big adaptation news hit, including a recent high-grade sale that shows just how serious the top end of this market can get.25 Year Rule: Green Arrow #1 (2001) — the start of “Quiver,” and one of the most memorable early-2000s moments where a celebrity filmmaker writing a mainstream DC title felt like a big pop-culture event. We break down why it mattered, how it went to four printings, and what the market looks like now.Underrated Books of the Week:A modern Image superhero team book that reads like a prestige TV pitch and is cheap enough to grab right now.An overlooked DC giant with a Neal Adams cover that's tougher than it looks in higher grade.Plus: Viewer mail, Show & Tell, and the usual collector talk along the way.#comicbooks #bronzeagecomics #archiecomics #planetary #marvelcomics #comiccollecting #comicspeculation #bronzeandmoderngodsBecome a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join
It's a wildcard special!
We have two episodes coming to you in audio form from our April livestream and here is the first!! Billy Z, Steve and Caleb got together in the middle of the month to discuss new books and it was an even split: half DC and half Indie! First from the house of Superman and Batman, we have the Mad About DC one shot, where some of the biggest names in comics take on DC characters and concepts a la Mad Magazine! We also talk about Batwoman #1, the new series feauring Kate Kane written by her co-creator Greg Rucka with art by DaNi! Rounding out the trio of DC books, we have a book about a trio: Detective Comics #1107 by Tom Taylor and Pete Woods which is the start of an arc teaming up Batman, Green Arrow and Black Canary! Then we switch over to the independent side - first with Red Book #1 from Dark Horse, a companion series to Blue Book by James Tynion IV and Michael Avon Oeming crafted by the same creative team examining UFO sightings throughout history in Russia and China! We then shift our sights onto Defenders of the Earth, a reboot of the 80s cartoon and toy line which brings together the most famous King Features heroes - Flash Gordon, Mandrake, Lothar and The Phantom courtesy of Dan DiDio and James Calafiore. And lastly from new publisher Ignition Comics we chat about the first issue of Dennis Hopeless and Brahm Revel's Just Brutal, a kinetic yet chaotic blend of sorcery and family dynamics!! This is a loaded two-hour melting pot of a funny book fondue so hit play and enjoy!

Jace and Rocky break down all the DC Comics releases for the week of April 22, 2026, covering 10 books with a wide range of reactions from solid entertainment to standout highlights. Superman #37 features a meta-driven Superboy Prime navigating life in Metropolis while grappling with his past and a surprising encounter with Witchfire, Flash #32 introduces a dangerous viral stunt app pushing Wally West to his limits while juggling family life, and Detective Comics #1108 continues Tom Taylor's grounded mystery with Bruce teaming with Green Arrow and Black Canary while uncovering secrets tied to Prion's legacy. Absolute Flash #14 explores the Mirror Master storyline with Wally and Linda trapped in the mirror dimension and a deal involving Ray Palmer, while Absolute Wonder Woman #19 continues Diana's mythic journey with high-stakes magical elements. Green Lantern #34 sets up future developments with Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner while introducing the mysterious Toby Y2K, and Justice League Unlimited #18 examines the controversial decision to grant villains amnesty in the face of larger threats. Harley Quinn #61 leans into the split between Harley's personalities with the Bat-Quinn concept, while Harley & Ivy: Life and Crimes #5 slows things down with character work at Ma Hunkel's home and a Clayface cliffhanger. The Brutal Dark #3 builds its noir mystery around Ezra Kane with deeper connections to the museum heist and missing persons case. The episode also includes discussion of industry news, including layoffs and broader market trends, along with thoughts on speculation around current titles. As always, Jace and Rocky run down reprints, facsimiles, and collected editions, rank every book from the week, and each give their pick for Book of the Week.
Writer Pornsak Pichetshote joins the show to talk about where he is in his career and the upcoming Absolute Green Arrow. Pichetshote discusses his new email newsletter, being vulnerable, how he sees himself in comics, why he hasn't taken on more for hire work before, what differentiated Absolute, when his journey to Absolute Green Arrow started, the personal nature of the book, Rafael Albuquerque's impact, making Green Arrow make sense, the focus of the book, the challenge of mysteries, character designs, the response to the book, imposter syndrome, the unique nature of Absolute and Exquisite Corpses, learnings from those projects, whether he's entering a new phase of his career, his ideal mix, and more.
This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we've got a full-length interview with Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albuquerque all about Absolute Green Arrow, their bold new take that turns Oliver Queen into something far more dangerous. It's a deep dive into the horror influences, the mystery at the heart of the story, and how the duo is reshaping one of DC's most iconic heroes.

What drew you to reimagining Green Arrow through that lens rather than a more traditional superhero approach? For Rafael Albuquerque: The visuals carry a lot of mood and unease. How did you approach designing a version of this world that feels grounded but still heightened enough for horror? Trick arrows, yes or no? For Pornsak: Dinah Lance is effectively our entry point into this mystery. What made her the right character to lead the story instead of Oliver himself? For Rafael: This series deals with violence in a more unsettling, investigative way. How do you balance making those moments impactful without overwhelming the reader? For Pornsak: The suspect list of archers is a clever way to tap into DC history. How did you decide which characters to include, and how do you make each feel distinct within the mystery? For both: This series is arriving after several Absolute titles have already established the tone and expectations of the line. How did you think about fitting into that larger world while still carving out your own identity? For Pornsak: There's a question at the heart of issue #2 about whether the killer is something to stop or understand. How important is moral ambiguity to this version of Green Arrow? For Rafael: Oliver Queen's presence looms large even in death. How did you approach visual storytelling around a character who is central but not always physically there? Fun question for both: If you had to survive in this world and pick one DC archer to have your back, who are you choosing… and who are you absolutely avoiding?

The Yeti is back! Finally after an extended absence for a lupus flare I'm back and what an episode to return with because I've got returning guest comics writer Pornsak Pichetshote and first timer legendary comics artist Rafael Albuquerque on with me to discuss their new DC Comics project Absolute Green Arrow. Highlights from the episode include a deep dive into how the creative team is reimagining Oliver Queen not just as an archer but as a mysterious figure in a Giallo inspired murder mystery where corrupt billionaires are the targets, how Scott Snyder and DC editorial granted total creative freedom to reinvent the Green Arrow mythology from scratch, the visual look of the book influenced by 70s thriller textures and a vintage comics like Daredevil providing the feel Rafael and colorist Marcelo Maiolo are bringing to the page, the mystery of Absolute Black Canary or Dinah Lance and why she is the real heart of the story, and the impact of masters of horror comics like Junji Ito and Bernie Wrightson on the series. Follow Pornsak on Instagram Rafael's website Devil's Luck: A Hailstone Story Season 2 Absolute Green Arrow from the publisher WITHOUT THE TRICK ARROWS... WITHOUT THE MONEY... WITHOUT MERCY... WHAT'S LEFT IS THE ABSOLUTE HUNTER! A serial killer is slaughtering corrupt billionaires. The only clue to their identity is the mysterious green arrows sticking out of his victims' corpses. Executive protection specialist Dinah Lance, a.k.a. Absolute Black Canary, is one of the people tasked to uncover this murderer's identity as she investigates her suspects... all familiar DC archers uniquely linked to a recently murdered Oliver Queen. I Know What You Did Last Summer for billionaires, Absolute Green Arrow reimagines the Emerald Archer's mythos into a dangerous, urban horror murder-mystery by Eisner winners Pornsak Pichetshote (Dead Boy Detectives, Infidel) and Rafael Albuquerque (Detective Comics, American Vampire).

On this episode of The Comic Source, Jace welcomes returning writer Chris Condon for a conversation that begins with the launch of Brutal Dark for DC's revived Vertigo line, including how the project evolved from earlier iterations into its current form, the pulpy crime-noir and supernatural influences behind Ezra Cain's world, and the collaborative storytelling approach Condon shares with artist Jacob Phillips, plus a reminder to pre-order Brutal Dark #2 ahead of its March 25 release. The discussion then shifts to Image Comics' News From the Fallout now collected in trade, looking back on the book's creative risks, the use of back matter and design elements, the team's celebration event, and future possibilities for additional time-period stories with Jeffrey Allan Love. Condon also talks about his time on Marvel's Ultimate Wolverine, what it has meant to write the character, how the series evolved from its original plan, and teases what's ahead with Ultimate Impact: Reborn arriving May 20, including the process of building new characters and exploring the Ultimate Universe's Negative Zone, before also previewing his upcoming Darth Vader project and how he's approaching the character's "hammer" presence and tone. The interview also covers the newly announced Image series Of The Earth (also out May 20), an eco-horror neo-noir story co-written with Andrew and brought to life by Charlie Adlard with colors by Pip Martin and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, before closing with reflections on fan response to Condon's Green Arrow finale, a brief update on That Texas Blood, and where listeners can follow more behind-the-scenes work via the Condon/Phillips Patreon and newsletter.Throughout the episode, Condon shares insight into collaboration, tone, creative risk-taking, and the balance between independent and Big Two storytelling.
