Before launching the Valiant Universe with the likes of Turok Dinosaur Hunter, Magnus Robot Fighter, Harbinger, and more, Jim Shooter's Valiant Comics published a handful of Nintendo-licensed comics in 1990-91 based on Mario, Zelda, Game Boy, and Captain N. Is there enough discussion-worthy content within those issues to justify/fill an 82-minute episode? Nope! -- but 1990s game nostalgia / game-adaptation discussions abound! This episode exists to celebrate one of Justin's other podcasts -- the BAY STREET VIDEO PODCAST -- hitting 200 episodes, and devoting an hours-long special subscriber episode to reviewing the new mega boxset of the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie just released from Umbrella Entertainment!

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée fry their circuits over Magnus, Robot Fighter no. 9! In the year 4001 AD, there are only two things that sci-fi adventurer Magnus hates: Robots, and the idea that any robot has gone unfighted. But when conflict brews between the residents of upscale North Am and the rebellious freewill bots of Synchron, can Magnus prevent an all-out war? Well, that all depends: Does fighting robots prevent all-out war? Then yes. Magnus is your guy.

“…a well-told, layered story with complex ideas and themes about a guy in a mini-skirt who fights robots.” Today on the program we discuss the flagship title that launched Valiant Comics - Magnus Robot Fighter. This is the story of a man named Magnus …that fights robots …in a mini-skirt …which to be fair was The post Collected Edition: Episode 84: Magnus Robot Fighter appeared first on The Collected Edition.
Who remembers the old Dell, Gold Key and Charlton comics? Weird, offbeat characters like Magnus: Robot Fighter, Doctor Solar, Turok, and the original Blue Beetle? How about Archie Comics with its never-ending soap opera about a group of teenagers living in the fictional town of Riverdale? Today, we discuss those publishers, their titles, and even some of the creators who worked for them on this episode we're calling — ‘Forgotten Comics’.
This week on The Geek Gossip, our news segment is just as much of an adventure as ever when we review the two new installments onto the Spongebob universe, the Sponge on the Run feature film and the Kamp Koral animated series finally released to us fans in the states via Paramount Plus and the epic WandaVision series finale. We're also joined by our dad, Ryan L. Higgins, for Tales From the Dollar Bin in which he reviews a bunch of foundational issues of the short lived Atlas Comics universe with weird characters like the Grim Ghost, Tiger Man, Wulf the Barbarian, the Destructor and the Tarantula while Jack reviews All New the New Phantom #62 (one hell of a title if you ask me), Judge Dredd: the Early Cases #1 plus Magnus Robot Fighter #23-24, while Artie reviews Iron Man #177, the first appearance of the Flying Tiger (you heard me correctly). Uncle Russ joins us for the battles in which we put two new gladiators into the ring: the Black Panther and the Phantom. Will the Ghost Who Walks fall at the vibranium claws of the 2 Million Year Man or has the King of Wakanda finally met his match? You decide!

Tom Peyer, Editor-in-Chief of Ahoy Comics, joins Creator Talks. We begin highlighting some of Tom's past work admired by Ye Podcast Host, including Hourman, Marvel Team-Up, and Magnus Robot Fighter. I ask Tom about working with Mark Waid, his co-writer on Captain Kid (Aftershock). Learn the reason for founding AHOY Comics in 2018 and some of the titles published in the past, present and future. Comics spotlighted in our interview include Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Terror, High Heaven, The Wrong Earth and Captain Ginger. Taking a deeper dive into High Heaven, we sink our teeth into the subject of L-Meat. What is the common thread that runs throughout all Ahoy publications? Why are the series written as seasons? What does the future hold for publishing AHOY Comics post-pandemic? How will the comics industry be changed, forever, post-pandemic? During the signature feature of the podcast Kicking Back With the Creator, I ask Tom what was the one project that got away and what book changed the way he thinks. After the interview, get out your calendar and follow along as I cover the Summer 2020 release schedule for AHOY Comics!

The Two Guys with PhDs (talking about comics) are back with another Publisher Spotlight episode. This time they are focusing on Dynamite Entertainment, specifically the new Gold Key comics that they have been reviving: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, by Greg Pak and Mirko Colak; Magnus: Robot Fighter, by Fred Van Lente and Cory Smith; Solar: Man of the Atom, by Frank J. Barbiere and Joe Bennett; and Doctor Spektor: Master of the Occult, by Mark Waid and Neil Edwards. They discuss the new series in the order in which they've been introduced, and the guys even comment on Dynamite's strategy of staggering releases and not just publishing everything at once, much like Valiant did with their new revived titles a couple of years ago. Andy is more familiar with the original Gold Key comics, at least most of them, than Derek, so when they can they point out the similarities and differences between the recent comics and their earlier manifestations from Gold Key, Valiant, Acclaim, and Dark Horse. The guys definitely have their preferences — e.g., they love Van Lente's humor in Magnus, they appreciate both Van Lente and Waid's send up of reality television, they're curious where Barbiere is going with Solar's daughter, and while they're not big fantasy/Conan fans, they do like what Pak and Colak have done with Turok — and much of this comes out in their discussion. Overall, they really like what Dynamite is doing with their recent revival and look forward to seeing how it unfolds…and how things may all come together (as we are teased in the first issue of Doctor Spektor). Plus, the guys share listener mail that they've recently received. Keep ‘em coming!

On this episode of The Comics Alternative Interviews, Andy and Derek speak with writer Fred Van Lente. They begin by asking him about his work on the recent Dark Horse title, Brain Boy — a revamp of the short-lived 1960s character — and how he translated the title for a contemporary audience. Van Lente also shares a bit of insight into his upcoming reboot of Magnus: Robot Fighter, part of Dynamite Entertainment's new Gold Key line, as well as his plans for the new Action Presidents series. The Two Guys also talk with Fred about his run on Archer and Armstrong and the early humorous titles he created with Ryan Dunlavey, the comics that really put him on the map: Action Philosophers and The Comic Book History of Comics. They spend a lot of time focusing on Fred's special sense of humor, his meticulous research, and his melding of abstract thoughts and tangible — and very entertaining — storytelling. All in all, Derek and Andy had a good time talking with the acclaimed author…and their conversation ended right when Fred needed to take his shepherd's pie out of the oven. The Two Guys are nothing if not timely!
