Is there a hidden continuity of self that ties those works together?You've mentioned that Absolute Batman aims to confront contemporary fears. How do you balance integrating real-world issues like mass violence into a superhero narrative without it becoming overwhelming for readers?This version of Bane is described as having a “true form” that's finally revealed. Was there a moment early on in this series—or in your own Batman run—where you first imagined this version of Bane, or did he evolve uniquely within the Absolute Batman frameworkArk m in Absolute Batman seems less like a building and more like a state of consciousness. How did you want to reinvent the idea of 'asylum' in this story?This series has played with identity, memory, and repressed trauma—common Snyder themes—but how has fatherhood and your recent creator-owned work influenced how you're writing Batman now, years after your first run?You've said in past interviews that Batman is a character who builds. Does this arc tear him down in a way that still honors that core idea—or are you challenging that philosophy head-on?With the Absolute line reimagining iconic characters, what can readers anticipate in future installments, and how do you envision the evolution of this universe?

The boys are back after a short time away. They talk about the comic art of John Romita, how a small child almost destroyed a masterpiece and get all work up over nothing.

¡Hombre Araña! ¡Hombre Araña! ¡Tu Amigable Vecino El Hombre Araña! Marvel Studios Animation recientemente lanzó la primera temporada de la nueva serie animada del arácnido, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, que explora los comienzos de la carrera superheroica de Peter Parker en un universo que se parece un poco al MCU, pero que al final no es. En este programa hacemos la RE: seña de esta serie, que mezcla elementos modernos con inspiraciones visuales de los dos artistas más clásicos de Spidey, su co-creador Steve Ditko, y quien lo sucedió, John Romita padre. Después, ya que estábamos en la onda "inicios de Spidey", reseñamos varios comics viejos con comienzos del personaje. Empezamos por su debut en Amazing Fantasy #15 (por Steve Ditko y Stan Lee) y el primer número de su propia serie, Amazing Spider-Man, ambas de 1962 y del mismo equipo creativo (Steve Ditko y Stan Lee). Seguimos por los primeros dos números del primer volumen de Marvel Team-Up (1971/1972, por Roy Thomas, Gerry Comway, y Ross Andru), con un Spider-Man que ya tiene algunos años de actividad, pero haciendo sus primeras colaboraciones importantes con su amigo Human Torch. Para terminar, cubrimos los dos primeros números de Untold Tales of Spider-Man (1995, por Kurt Busiek y Pat Olliffe), una serie con historias retroactivamente ubicadas en los primeros años de actividad del trepamuros. Con música de The Math Club con Relaye y Melo Makes Music (sampleando a Paul Francis Webster y Bob Harris), Within The Ruins, y Weezer. Próximo programa: Tres comics rioplatenses, Tango Pulp / Nonfata / El Cronista.

Supersnak: Fanget i kærlighedens spind I over et år har Supersnak talt om Alan Moore og hans rejse dybt ind i den menneskelige sjæl – helt til universets yderste kant – så nu trænger Kim og jeg til en lille pause. Foråret er på vej, vi er både gamle og sentimentale, så hvad er løsningen? En podcast om Peter Parkers kærester! Vi ved jo alle, at Spider-Man godt nok er en dynamisk sag med superskurke og nervepirrende spænding, men den er lige så meget en sæbeopera – ikke mindst dengang (for alt for mange år siden), da John Romita tegnede den og skabte MINSpider-Man. Der er selvfølgelig især to, vi undersøger nærmere, og som det naturligvis ender med, når man hænger ud med en superhelt for længe, så får man selv superkræfter... på den ene eller anden måde. Så vi går Se & Hør i bedene, finder paparazzi-udstyret frem, telelinser og den slags, og sætter fokus på sagaen om Peter Parker og kvinderne! Men bare rolig – Supersnak har skam også seriøse emner i den nærmeste fremtid. Superheltekæledyr! God lyttehygge, og vi ses om to uger.

With Daredevil: Born Again premiering on Disney+ in March, now's the perfect time to revisit everyone's favorite blind superhero. On this episode, we explore Daredevil's comic book origins, spotlighting legendary creators like Gene Colan, Frank Miller, and John Romita, Jr., whose work helped define the character. But we don't stop there — we also trace Daredevil's evolution on screen, from Ben Affleck's 2003 film (ugh) to the iconic Netflix series starring Charlie Cox. We also explore Frank Miller's role in turning Daredevil into a star, highlight the women in DD's life (including Elektra and Karen Page), and have some fun with his delightfully goofy rogues gallery — yes, Leap Frog and Stilt-Man, we see you! Join us as we jump from rooftop to rooftop, celebrating the one and only Devil of Hell's Kitchen!

When up-and-coming writer Joe Kelly got the keys to Deadpool's first solo series, he subverted fan expectations by downplaying the character's connections to the larger X-franchise. Similarly, he decided to fulfill the constant requests for the Merc with a Mouth to team-up with Spider-Man in a way nobody expected. We take a look at the innovative, Forrest Gump-inspired techniques used to insert a time-traveling Deadpool into a semi-obscure issue of Amazing Spider-Man by Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr. and discuss whether this oversized issue's jokes about Norman Osborn's weird hair and Gwen Stacy hold up today.

Show Notes Provided by Joe Peluso   On June 12th of this year, the pop culture universe lost the light of another star as John Romita Sr. passed away. Visionary creator, artist, and storyteller, John left a legacy of family, friends, and admirers. Join your humble hosts, James, Chris, and Joe as they respectfully celebrate the man and his incredible volume of work he so graciously shared with the world. In the history of this medium we love so much, few comic book pros have done more to inspire and entertain a legion of fans.     Engendered by the legacy of John Romita, the guys turn their attention to the first "legacy" character and examine the life and times of Dick Grayson--AKA, Nightwing. Questions, comments, and observations abound when the subject is the first superhero sidekick who ultimately realizes his full potential.    Remember, this is a "back of the store chat" so bring your opinions through that back door.  We will be waiting to engage you in a respectful and lively discussion.

In this week's episode, The Guys vote for Pedro.  But even if they didn't cast three resounding “Yes” votes for Mr. Pascal, it seems the rest of the world is doing just that.  He's the man of the moment on all the screens, large and small.   And when it comes to geek cred, he's got Star Wars cred, superhero movie cred, video-game-come-tv-series cred, GoT cred - he even killed it on SNL.  Definitely worthy of respect, and most certainly worthy of a GOCA episode of his own.   Geeks of the Week pay respects to Treat Williams (aka uncredited Star Wars base trooper) and John Romita, Sr. (who had great Spidey-sense), and share news of The Brave and the Bold.  The Guys all voted: you should listen to this one.  

We start off with the massive amount of work from John Romita, then go into The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, The Umbrella Academy and Mexikid. MUSICAL SPOTLIGHT: Winter Atlas DOWNLOAD John Romita Cover Art For Spider-Man’s Treasury Edition.. Romance Work … Continue reading →

After years of development, The Flash has finally hit the screens. Is it worth the wait? We give our spoiler-free and spoiler-filled review of DC's last hope for the Snyderverse. From cameos to breathtaking (yet controversial) visual effects, we'll break down our thoughts. Jay and Josh get nuts, and that's a Flash fact on Superhero Suite.

Check out all of our other Podcasts at: www.strandedpanda.com Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes John Romita, Sr. died last week at the age of 93. Romita, Sr. was key in developing beloved Marvel characters such as Spider-Man, Spidey's  paramour Mary-Jane Watson, Wolverine, Kingpin,  the Punisher, and many more. The news was broken by his son, John Romita, Jr. a beloved comic book artist in his own right. Romita, Sr. worked as the art director at Marvel for more than two decades. DC's widely-discussed movie The Flash debuted to a $55 million domestic box office weekend, well below projections. The film has received very mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. Among many other media conglomerates announcing future projects, Netflix held its TUDUM livestream to announce their own slate, which includes new seasons of Bridgerton, Squid Game, Emily in Paris, and Wednesday. A lot of chatter surrounded the first looks at the live action adaptations of anime favorites Avatar: The Last Airbender and One Piece.  Pixar has had a rough time of it lately in the box office, with several of their past films being sent straight to streaming. But this weekend's disappointing 29.5 million dollar opening for Elemental is another case of low earnings and poor reception for a Pixar film.  Sony released the first full trailer for Kraven the Hunter, set to release on October 6, 2023. The movie is set apart from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and features Quiksilver actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the title role. The trailer shows lots of violence and blood splatter as this becomes one of the few R-rated Marvel movies in existence.  Sarah Polley, 2023 Oscar winner for best adapted screenplay, is in talks to direct a live action adaptation of Bambi for Disney. Daredevil: Born Again and The Penguin are the latest shows to shut down all production for the duration of the writer's strike. Disney and Pixar released the trailer for Elio, an upcoming science fiction animated film set to release March 1, 2024. Rick and Morty season 7 will be released weekly in September. Though primary voice actor Justin Roiland is in the process of being recast, producers believe the transition will be so good audiences won't take much notice. Netflix dropped the full trailer for animated feature Nimona, set to debut on June 30, 2023, and based on the New York Times bestselling graphic novel. Sony has claimed two dates for future unnamed Marvel movies: November 8, 2024, and June 27, 2025. The Incredible Hulk is finally available on Disney+. Universal's rights to the character have kept it out of Disney's clutches for the last 15 years, but the distribution rights of the character have now reverted back to Marvel Studios. Terminator star Linda Hamilton has joined the cast of Stranger Things for its upcoming fifth and final season. Unconfirmed reports say that Marvel Studios will NOT be presenting in Hall H at San Diego ComicCon this year.

Writer Ed Brubaker joins the show to talk about his latest graphic novel with artist Sean Phillips, Night Fever. Brubaker discusses the picket line experience, the insanity of Night Fever, his expectations for the response, the personal nature of the book, why it was the right idea right now, Refn vibes, section breaks, his artistic collaborators, Sean Phillips' working with bigger pages, the book's international feel, wanting to be someone else, the cover change of the book, how their sales have been shifting, their sales arc, the power of schedules, surprise comics, John Romita, Sr.'s greatness, and more.

A seminal Marvel artist has passed away at the age of 93. Jon and Steven discuss how Jazzy John's Spider-Man was the only Spider-Man for an entire generation, why "Daredevil" was secretly an audition, and how his soap opera background completed Peter Parker's world in a way even Steve Ditko didn't. Plus, omnibus weights, the golden age of expensive collecting and how the Romitas made comics a family business that paid off for generations of fans. [Ep337]
