Marvel's ambitious Jedi Knights maxi-series comes to what we think is a satisfying conclusion, albeit one with some threads that we hope are explored down the road. Jedi Knights #10 caps the pre-Phantom Menace-era title that gave readers new jedi and a deeper understanding not just of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but Count Dooku, too.Comics Discussed This Week:Jedi Knights #10 (of 10)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

A spectacular graphic novel about the life and times of the legendary Fela Kuti—the Pan-African frontman, multi-instrumentalist, sociopolitical powerhouse, and father of Afrobeat. In Fela: Music Is the Weapon (Amistad, 2025), artist Jibola Fagbamiye and writer Conor McCreery team up to tell the remarkable origin story of one of Nigeria's most famous sons, the King of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, who rose to superstardom with his band Africa 70 in the 1970s, during a charged political period for his nation. A once-in-a-lifetime musical talent who innovated the musical genre Afrobeat, Fela was also an outspoken critic of the Nigerian military regime. Fela focuses on a pivotal moment in his life, when he and his mother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, the renowned Nigerian suffrage activist, were ruthlessly attacked in their own home by soldiers who suffered no repercussions for their violence. It also explores Fela's complex relationship with women, including his mother and Sandra Izsadore, the American singer and activist who revitalize and inspired him. Over the course of his life, Fela married 27 women, fathered numerous children, and founded the Kalakuta Republic commune, where he and his band lived, declaring themselves independent from military rule. As rich and original as its subject, Fela complements the historical with the surreal, featuring parallel dream world sequences, set between this realm and the next, in which Fela receives visions about his future and the dangerous path he will have to walk. Chronicling Fela's perilous journey to capture his destiny—to become the King of Afrobeat, and to advocate for Pan-African unity in the face of European imperialism and white supremacy—this masterful biographical graphic novel celebrates this enduring legend and his legacy, offering inspiration for our own troubled time. Jibola Fagbamiye is a visual artist based in Toronto. His work draws inspiration from his two great loves: African history and North American pop culture.

As rich and original as its subject, Fela complements the historical with the surreal, featuring parallel dream world sequences, set between this realm and the next, in which Fela receives visions about his future and the dangerous path he will have to walk. Chronicling Fela's perilous journey to capture his destiny—to become the King of Afrobeat, and to advocate for Pan-African unity in the face of European imperialism and white supremacy—this masterful biographical graphic novel celebrates this enduring legend and his legacy, offering inspiration for our own troubled time.

Episode 7: "Super Dalek Origin Story" - Classic Doctor Who Comics Double Feature - Patreon Exclusive COMIC STRIP REVIEW #1: "Doctor Who on the Web Planet" (March 22 - April 26, 1965) TV Comic, Six Parts Writer/Artist: Neville Main The only Doctor Who comic strip ever given an official title! The First Doctor, John, and Jillian return to Vortis long after their adventure with Ian, Barbara, and Vicki. A legend has grown among the Menoptra about the Doctor's previous liberation of their world - but freedom was short-lived. The planet has fallen under new oppression from the Skirkons, aliens who've mastered mind control over the easily-manipulated Zarbi and built Zarbi-shaped personal flying craft armed with death rays. The Doctor must free Vortis once again while confronting the sad reality that some worlds can never maintain peace. The Zarbi Multimedia Empire - John discovers extensive Zarbi appearances across formats: Two Give-A-Show projector stories IDW comic (2000s) featuring First Doctor team fighting Zarbi invasion of 1868 Earth Doctor Who Annual prose stories: "Lair of the Zarbi" and "The Lost Ones" Patrick Troughton prose novel Twilight of the Gods Big Finish audio Return to Vortis with Fifth Doctor and Nyssa The Zarbi are revealed as "the new Pokémon - gotta catch 'em all!" Jim's OCD kicks in and he must now consume all Zarbi media. The hosts marvel at how deeply BBC tried mining these creatures despite their failure to capture Dalek-level popularity. COMIC STRIP REVIEW #2: "Duel of the Daleks" (March 6 - April 10, 1965) TV Century 21, Six Parts Writer: David Whitaker (from Terry Nation's plot) Artist: Richard Jennings Dalek Zeg survives an industrial accident that coats him in near-impervious metallic skin and transforms his casing to golden color - giving him a superhero origin story! Believing his superiority entitles him to leadership, Zeg challenges the Black Dalek Emperor for control of the Dalek race. Internal Dalek civil war erupts as some Daleks support the upstart while others remain loyal to established hierarchy. The Emperor ultimately defeats Zeg using liquid metal to freeze him solid, learning from the duel to develop stronger Dalek armor.

Welcome back to Collecting Issues, the monthly comic book book club! This week, Michael and Benjamin are heading to the Midwest to tackle a modern critical darling: Local Man (Issues #1-13 & #25).Published by Image Comics, Local Man is the 2023 creation of Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash, Grayson) and Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs). It's a genre-bending mix of rural noir and 90s superhero pastiche that asks the question: What happens when an "Extreme" era hero gets cancelled and has to move back into his parents' basement? (Spoiler: His parents are very disappointed).Join us as we determine if this book is a deconstruction of the industry or just a chaotic ride. Ben realises "Local Man" is actually a derogatory term for someone who parks on a curb, while Michael tries to figure out if Crossjack is the Hawkeye of the Midwest or just an absolute arsehole.We discuss:Why the first arc feels like The Boys meets Matt Fraction's Hawkeye—if Hawkeye was a glory-hound who slept with everyone's wives.The Dual Art Styles: Breaking down the genius flip-flop between Tony Fleecs' grounded, photo-referenced reality and Tim Seeley's Rob Liefeld-esque 90s flashbacks (no feet allowed!).The "Image" History Lesson: How the book serves as a love letter (and a tombstone) to the 1992 founding of Image Comics, referencing WildC.A.T.s, Gen13, and the "pouch era."The Inga Problem: The twisty villain arc that left us asking: Is she a Lex Luthor mastermind or just a messy ex?The Verdict: Why we believe Volume 1 is a masterpiece that belongs on your shelf, but why the "cosmic shenanigans" of Arcs 2 & 3 gave the lads "comic book blue balls."Follow the Podcast:Join the Discord and read alongRead Our SubstackFollow us on InstagramFollow us on TiktokWatch us on YoutubeTime Stamps:00:00 Introduction to Collecting Issues00:28 Comic Book Confusion and Local Legends03:16 Elevator Pitch and Creative Team05:16 Tim Seeley and Tony Fleecs' Background16:28 Image Comics and the 90s Influence20:43 Cross Jack's Return and Character Dynamics28:44 Villains and Plot Twists37:26 Inga's Character and Comic's Weaknesses38:01 Corporate Superheroes and Inga's Role38:26 Tim Sealey's Influence and Comic Tropes38:58 Second Arc: Horror and Cult Elements39:22 Cross Jack's Powers and Fourth Wall Breaking40:28 Inga's Villainy and Characterisation Issues43:01 Third Arc: Fetishes and Dream Narratives43:46 Neon's Confrontation with Inga45:36 Seascape's Mythical Origins47:44 Faceless Hoard and Comic Book Tropes52:33 Comic's Rushed Conclusion and Missed Opportunities54:08 Tim Sealey's Style and Comic's Inconsistencies01:02:46 Final Thoughts and RecommendationsNext Comic: Tuatha, a new digital release from IDW involving Irish myth and horror by Gavin Fullerton.

There is some great, weird and just plain crazy news to talk through today. Have Hot Toys jumped the shark? Is Ben about to drop $1500 on a Soundwave? More Mondo, more Blokees and of course, More Todd. Franks TMNT collection lacks a life size element - could this change soon? Then we compare the newly released Origins Fright Zone with the vintage one - which in itself gives Scot the fright of his life!

Comics visionary Tom Scioli joins me for a wide-ranging, brain-melting conversation that jumps from classic TV to kaiju carnage to cosmic storytelling. If you know Tom's work — GØDLAND, Transformers vs. G.I. Joe, Fantastic Four: Grand Design — you already know he thinks bigger, weirder, and more ambitiously than almost anyone in comics. In this talk, we get into:• The Twilight Zone #2 From IDW and how Rod Serling's storytelling shapes Tom's approach to mythmaking• Godzilla Monsterpiece Theater from IDW  as Tom pits the Kaiju against some lieterally giants • Space Opera Xanadax from Image  as the purest form of comic-book imagination, and how Tom pushes the SF genre to its limits• His YouTube show Total Recall, where he digs into comics history, storytelling craft, and hidden TV and film gems with his trademark insight and enthusiasm Tom breaks down influences, process, philosophy, and the connective tissue between classic television, monster movies, and cosmic comics. It's equal parts film class, comics craft talk, and deep-fan celebration.

Well, here's something new, friends! We're reviewing a comic book Doctor Who story! Well, stories would be more accurate because Prisoners of Time was originally a year-long 12 issue miniseries from IDW to celebrate Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. We read the first four issues (chapters) and talked about what we liked and didn't like.

Join Sis and Big Pops for a fun, fun talk about one of the things we love most—Nerd Stuff. We discuss our fav bits of nerd news: Guillermo del Toro's movie Frankenstein, Oceans 14 being green-lit, the Dog surviving in the new horror film “Good boy, ” action figures from Masters of the Universe and Transformers, Vin Diesel The Pacifier, the last Fast and Furious movie might not happen and neither may Avatar 4, Humble Bundle of Lego games, Spiderman 4 with Tobey McGuire, and In Your Dreams Netflix kids movie trailer. For bingeing, Big Pops has been watching The Manning Cast- Monday Night Football, Mavel Zombies, LOTR, and has been listening to The Hobbit and reading Walking Dead Compendium. Sis has watched her husband play the game “Tunic,” as well as Kara and Nate, Inception, and Gravity Falls. Then, Pops shared his pull list! This week, he introduces us to Absolute Evil Issue 1 by DC (and Justice League The Omega Act Special); The Punisher Issue 1 by Marvel Red Band, and The Rocket Fellars Issue 9 by Image. His new number 1, or should we say issue 0, is the reboot of The Department of Truth by Image. His Book of the Week is Star Trek: The Last Starship Issue 1 by IDW. And last but not least, we review Over the Garden Wall.

In honor of 420, its time to look at some of the weirdest, and wackiest toys ever designed. You really have to wonder, what were they on when coming up with some of this stuff. From poorly thought out labels to accidental nightmare fuel, child endangerment and even a pre-cursor to Siri - combined with, water? Then it's another edition of The Team from the wonderful world of TMNT - but ONLY the Turtle variants. And the choices are not as simple as you might think!

The saboteurs are discovered by Kit Fisto in Dark Horse Comics' Tides of Terror #3 (of 4), but is it too late for the station? In Marvel's Star Wars (Vol. 4) #7, Luke, Han, Chewie and Valance take the fight for the Nagai to the front as Leia counsels Mon on why sometimes direct violence is the right path. In Han Solo — Hunt for the Falcon #3 (of 5), Han is forced to take a long, hard look at himself — and his life — and how it's impacted Leia and Ben Solo after a heart to heart with Chewbacca nearly comes to blows.

Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's James Gunn's Superman, here to launch the writer-director-studio-head's brand new (?) DC Universe. It moves faster than a speeding bullet despite having more plot than the last five Marvel movies put together–and some of those plot points hold up better to the green-K gaze of our hosts than others. Paul, Arlo, and Eric break down everything about this new big screen Man of Steel, including a perfect cast, major deviations from Superman's origin, Gunn's unabashedly political script, fuckboi Jimmy Olsen, and so much more. Maybe the film doesn't leap tall expectations in a single bound, but a movie like this has much more up (up and away) its Super-sleeve than any billionaire skinhead would expect. Plus, the gang dives deep into the sewers for a read-through of IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles saga.   NEXT: it's time once again to enter the gates of VAL-halla, as the gang discusses two of Val Kilmer's most iconic performances, namely as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's 1991 psych-biopic The Doors and Doc Holliday in 1994's neo-Western Tombstone.

Total THB has always felt like a living piece of your imagination—something that evolved alongside you. Now that you're returning to it after thirty years, what does it mean to finally see it presented as the definitive version you always envisioned?7. In your introduction, you mention artists like Bruegel, Motherwell, and Rodin alongside Kirby, Moebius, and Miyazaki. That's a fascinating cross-section of influences—how do you see Total THB sitting at the intersection of those worlds now?2. In your introduction, you talk about the seed idea—“small things exploding into big things.” How has that core concept shaped your storytelling and visual philosophy across your entire career, and how does it feel to return to it now with decades of experience behind you?8. Total THB is set on a divided Mars, a world of art versus bureaucracy, chaos versus control. Given how global politics and culture have evolved since the '90s, do you see new relevance—or new warnings—in the story's setting and themes?5. The relationship between HR and THB—the sheltered daughter and her enigmatic bodyguard—feels both intimate and mythic. How do you see their dynamic now, and what new layers do you hope readers discover in this remastered edition?6. You've described superheroes before as modern myths — figures that blend pulp with poetry. Having moved between corporate superhero universes and your own creator-owned worlds, what do you think mainstream superhero comics could still learn from the spirit of self-publishing that birthed THB*?*

Layne and Jon are shocked and appalled by Spike's actions in IDW's The Transfomers 7 before finding out a little bit more about what's going on with Ironhide in The Transformers: Ironhide 2, both from 2010!

Kylo Ren's crashing at grandad's old place and just trying to feel the vibe so that maybe he can figure out why Uncle Luke keep's popping up when he leasts expect it. So he takes a journey that's out of sight and out of mind, gets namechecked and realizes "I gotta go deeper." Marvel's Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #10 is weird, creepy and magnetic.

Layne and Jon find tragedy at the end of Attack on Technodrome in IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 44 from 2015!

Gateways: What Lay Beyond. Back in late 2001, Pocket Books published the most epic crossover event to date: Gateways. With six novels spanning the eras from The Original Series to Voyager, the series brought together multiple authors to tell stories utilizing the gateways created by the mysterious Iconians. And the hook for the series was that each story was to end with a cliffhanger, culminating in one giant hardcover with six short stories to conclude the series. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Casey Pettitt and Jonathan Koan discuss the final book, What Lay Beyond. They discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly, and talk about their vision for the series were it to be written today. Also covered is The Lore War comics, the concluding crossover between the Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant comics from IDW.

On today's new episode the guys talk Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is an original graphic novel written and drawn by Patrick Horvath and published by IDW about Samantha Strong, a serial killer who is also a beloved member of her small, anthropomorphic animal town. When a rival killer begins murdering locals, Samantha must hunt them down to protect her secret and prevent the town from self-destructing. The story is known for its dark, violent plot juxtaposed with a cute, Richard Scarry-style art style. But first did Cody make sure the military wasn't at New York Comic Con? Was this one of the best books of 2024? Does this comic have Dexter vibes? What do we call watching movies with William Hurt? Does this book take place in the 80s? Is Cody aging like fine wine? How does Samantha Strong feel about her community? Did we guess the killer? What's going on in the next volume of this series? How cold is Samantha? Is Good Luck Chuck the Casablanca of our generation? What is scary and creepy about the first murder that draws you in? What does Anthony tell us about DC KO? What other crossovers are happening in comics recently? Who would win between Samantha Strong and Scorpion from Mortal Kombat? Who would we be in this comic?
