In this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul are joined by special guest Marvyn For the fourth installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightfall). Bane has been defeated by a new, darker, reckless and more violent Batman and now he rules the night. Jean-Paul Valley for better or worse wears the cowl… What follows is our discussion and the highlights of his career as Batman! It’s all mostly mercs and hitmen from here on out… We cover: -Detective Comics #667-675 -Robin #1-2 -Batman: Shadow Of The Bat #19-20 and #24-28 -Batman #501-508 -Catwoman #6-7 -Showcase ’94 #7 This is the portion of the Knightfall epic known as “KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest) and covers Jean-Paul Valley's tenure as Batman and time in the cowl, in Gotham. It is at this point that there is a fork in the path for the Knightfall saga and as mentioned in previous episodes in this series “KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest) is the other part of the story, concerning Bruce Wayne's recovery and globetrotting quest to rescue Dr Kinsolving and Tim Drake's Father. In reading order we have put "The Search" after "The Crusade" although the events are happening simultaneously. We also discuss "The Search" broadly at the beginning of this episode, but we ultimately decided to give more time to "The Crusade" because it is the better written and more interesting side of events. "The Search" covers: -Justice League Task Force #5-6, -Batman: Shadow Of The Bat #21-23, -Batman: Legends Of The Dark Knight #59-61 -Robin #7 Send any questions or feedback to (mailto:acecomicals@gmail.com) acecomicals@gmail.com.

On this episode of The Comics Alternative Interviews, Derek has a post-Halloween conversation with the creators behind BroadSword Comics, Jim Balent and Holly Golightly. They talk about their unique collaborative relationship — both personally and professionally — and their various creative endeavors over the years. More specifically, Derek asks them about their upcoming new Kickstarter campaign, “Crossover,” which will bring together the worlds of Jim's Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose and Holly's School Bites. In the corse of the conversation, the two artists share the story behind their strong work ethnic, Jim's time illustrating Catwoman and its links to the character Tarot, the ins and outs of running a small press, Holly's history with music celebrities (and 1980s pop culture), their many experiences with their dedicated fan base, the challenges of creating a webcomic, the impact of Holly's social media savvy, and a few of the negative reactions they've received from social conservatives. They wrap up their talk with Holly dubbing The Comics Alternative a smart and sexy podcast…perhaps one of the best compliments that the Two Guys have ever received. Much thanks, Holly!
