Hey, it's the 37th episode with Ben Kahn! Ben is really cool and they also write great comics, I'm going to suggest Renegade Rule and Renegade Royale, both of which are absolutely incredible. Ben is also one of the co-hosts of Progressively Horrified, which I've guested on quite a bit! Lots of great horror conversations on there so dig through the archives. We're chatting about Daredevil Vol. 3 #25. This one is written by Mark Waid, with art by Chris Samnee and Javier Rodriguez, letters by VC's Joe Caramagna, and edited by Stephen Wacker. This podcast is recorded in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This episode is edited by Kate Warner of the band Church Fire. The theme music is provided by Earth Control Pill, whose work is on Bandcamp.

The crossover continues as I join Sal Crivelli for Part Two, where the conversation zeroes in on specific creative flashpoints in current comics, and a shared love of pop-culture comfort food. We compare Joe Kelly's and Zeb Wells' respective runs on Amazing Spider-Man, breaking down what worked, what frustrated readers, and why Spidey remains one of the toughest characters to steer long-term. We also look ahead to the upcoming Superman/Spider-Man crossovers by Mark Waid and Brad Meltzer, and why these projects feel like a genuine event rather than a nostalgia cash-in. On the DC side, we talk about the strong momentum behind DC KO and the DC Absolute lines, why those initiatives are connecting with readers, and what they suggest about DC's current editorial confidence.And because not everything has to be a debate, we wrap by bonding over our mutual love of Mystery Science Theater 3000, celebrating the joy of smart riffing, bad movies, and shared fandom.
Regresamos a las viñetas que nos dan vida con los cómics que más nos gustaron en el 2025: Joshua Williamson y Mark Waid nos dieron el Verano de Superman en Action Comics y Superman, mientras que la gran estrella naciente y consentido del podcast Deniz Camp nos maravilla con The Ultimates, Assorted Crisis Events y Absolute Martian Manhunter. En eso, repasamos cómo ha sido el primer año completa de la línea Absolute en DC que esta en los tops de las listas de ventas.

Journalist Susana Polo joins the show to talk about her interesting year and a bevy of subjects we didn't get to highlight from the wider world of comics in 2025. Polo discusses post-Polygon living, the loss of personality-driven sites, how the Polygon experience shaped her, the reverse energies of 2025's comic movies, the muted comics conversation, recency biases, the importance of back catalogue, Worldcon, expanding the comic box, the insane number of crossovers, Harley & Ivy: Life & Crimes, expanding genres, Marvel's lack of excitement, Batman's quality, Mark Waid's eternal nature, the European comic invasion, things we're excited for in 2026, Vertigo's return, the Archie/Oni partnership, the reverse European comic invasion, Avengers: Doomsday, and more.
The Marvelists are back with an exciting special episode diving into the world of comics, creator collaborations, and crowdfunding! In this installment, hosts Peter Melnick and Eddie Wilson welcome special guest Jon Escudero from Dirt Sheet Radio to the show. Together, they sit down with legendary comic book writer Mark Waid (known for iconic runs on Kingdom Come, Daredevil, Flash, and more), AJ Light (writer of The Awakening and Cosmic Conquest), and Ridge Kiley (founder and CEO of Rising Empire Studios, creator of the Alpha Clash universe) for an in-depth interview. The conversation centers on their brand-new Kickstarter project: Alpha Clash: Rising Empires, an explosive sci-fi action thriller comic series (#1-4) co-written by Mark Waid and AJ Light, set in the Alpha Clash universe. Ridge Kiley joins to discuss the origins of the project, the creative collaboration, and how this grounded, character-driven tale explores a world forever changed by superhuman events—and the ordinary people navigating the aftermath. Expect plenty of behind-the-scenes insights, creative process talk, Marvel anecdotes from Waid, and details on how fans can support the campaign. Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alphaclash/alpha-clash-rising-empires-by-mark-waid-and-aj-light-1-3 (campaign ends soon with just 27 days left as of late January 2026—don't wait!). Plus, Jon Escudero sticks around to help promote the highly anticipated relaunch of Geek Sheet Radio alongside Peter Melnick—a fresh pop culture podcast bringing their unique perspectives on comics, wrestling, entertainment, and beyond. Whether you're a Marvel die-hard or just love hearing from top creators, this episode is packed with energy and inspiration. Don't miss it—subscribe now and back Rising Empires on Kickstarter while you're at it!
Après avoir traité une bonne partie des titres du label Absolute de DC Comics tout au long de l'année 2025, on termine ce tour d'horizon avec la dernière sortie publiée chez Urban Comics : Absolute Flash, écrit par Jeff Lemire et dessiné par Nick Robles et A.L. Kaplan. Après Absolute Superman, Absolute Wonder Woman, Absolute Batman et surtout Absolute Martian Manhunter, véritable coup de cœur de l'équipe, cette relecture de Flash est-elle au même niveau que ses comparses ? On vous donne notre avis dans ce nouvel épisode de ComicsDiscovery. Absolute Flash : une autre vitesse pour le héros écarlateDans Absolute Flash, Jeff Lemire fait un choix fort : ici, pas de Barry Allen, mais Wally West, un personnage majeur de l'histoire de Flash, notamment grâce au run emblématique de Mark Waid que l'on peut retrouver dans les DC Archives chez Urban Comics. On découvre Wally West adolescent, vivant sur une base militaire où travaille son père. Solitaire, un peu rebelle, il voit sa vie basculer à la suite d'un accident impliquant une expérience menée par un certain Barry Allen. Cet événement va lui conférer les pouvoirs de Flash… mais également attirer sur lui l'attention d'une équipe étonnamment familière pour les fans du personnage. Jeff Lemire s'amuse surtout à remodeler les éléments iconiques de l'univers de Flash, en les intégrant à cette continuité Absolute plus sombre et plus brute. Une approche qui fait écho à ce que le label a déjà proposé sur Superman, Wonder Woman ou Martian Manhunter, tout en gardant une identité propre. Jeff Lemire, un auteur aux multiples facettesSi vous êtes lecteur de comics ou auditeur régulier de ComicsDiscovery, le nom de Jeff Lemire ne doit pas vous être inconnu. Auteur extrêmement prolifique, il navigue avec aisance entre l'indé et le mainstream. On lui doit des œuvres marquantes comme Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer ou Royal City, mais également des titres plus grand public comme Joker: Killer Smile, la saga de science-fiction Descender, son passage remarqué sur Green Arrow, ou encore Gideon Falls, qui avait d'ailleurs fortement divisé l'équipe lors de sa sortie. Au dessin, Absolute Flash s'appuie sur Nick Robles et A.L. Kaplan. Si leur travail est globalement efficace, le changement d'artiste en cours de récit se ressent et peut un peu casser la fluidité visuelle, un point que l'on aborde dans l'épisode. Un titre idéal pour découvrir Flash ?Absolute Flash est un comics agréable à lire, rythmé, plein d'action et truffé de références à l'univers des speedsters de DC Comics. Mais, contrairement à certains autres titres du label Absolute, il fonctionne surtout si l'on connaît déjà bien le personnage et son lore. L'un des grands intérêts du récit réside dans la manière dont Jeff Lemire réinvente des figures familières et joue avec les attentes des lecteurs. Sans cette connaissance préalable, l'histoire peut perdre en impact et se réduire à un récit adolescent efficace, mais finalement assez classique. Dans cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery, on revient en détail sur ce que propose Absolute Flash, ses forces, ses limites et sa place au sein du label Absolute de DC Comics. Vous aimez Flash et son univers ? Nous aussi.Pour prolonger votre découverte, on vous propose de poursuivre avec ces épisodes de ComicsDiscovery : Comment découvrir Flash en comics :https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-s07e40-flash/ Flashpoint de Geoff Johns et Andy Kubert :https://jamesetfaye.fr/comicsdiscovery-s05e43-flashpoint/ Absolute Martian Manhunter :https://jamesetfaye.fr/labsolute-a-ne-pas-rater-comicsdiscovery-s10e12-absolute-martian-manhunter/ Le mot de la finMerci à toutes et tous de nous avoir suivis pour cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery consacré à Absolute Flash de Jeff Lemire.Après avoir exploré plusieurs titres du label Absolute de DC Comics, on espère que cette relecture de Flash, centrée sur Wally West, vous aura donné envie de (re)découvrir le personnage et son univers.

Round Three… FIGHT! In this episode, Joe and Matt read the tale of the tape on Round 3, the conclusion of their All Fight Month coverage! The seasoned, speedy veteran Jay Garrick takes on the baddest bowl cut in the Green Lantern Corps, Guy Gardner, in Flash #33 by Mark Waid, Christopher Cantwell, and Vasco […] The post DC K.O. Ringside Coverage Round Three! | Batman Vs. Robin, Guy Gardner Vs. The Flash, Red Hood Vs. The Joker & MORE! | Back Issue Comics Show #801 appeared first on The Two-Headed Nerd Comic Book Podcast.
The latest DC Spotlight is live as Jace and Rocky break down a smaller but strong slate of DC releases for the week of January 14, 2026, offering full rankings and detailed discussion across eight books. The episode opens with Court: Children of the Round Table #5, where Tom Taylor delivers another major cliffhanger revealing Felicity's shocking connection to Mordred and continuing the series' younger-reader focus within main DC continuity. Aquaman #13 shifts attention away from Arthur himself to spotlight Mera, deepening Xebel lore, introducing new mysteries around Andrina's imperial ambitions, and setting up long-term consequences tied to DC KO. In Action Comics #1094, Mark Waid explores Superboy's moral conflict as he undertakes a military rescue mission under General Lane, raising questions about agency, responsibility, and secrecy, while reactions to the noir-leaning art remain mixed. The Wonder Woman Black & Gold 2026 Special earns discussion for its experimental format, standout visuals from Mitch Gerads, and a thematically heavy Steve Orlando story examining truth, belief, and manipulation through the Golden Lasso. Supergirl #9 leans hard into character drama as a New Year's party spirals into fallout that challenges Kara's role as a mentor and forces a reckoning with Lesla's fate and Kandorian biology. Batman and Robin #29 continues Philip Kennedy Johnson's acclaimed Quiet Man arc, pushing the Ventriloquist mythology to disturbing new depths while strengthening Bruce and Damian's evolving father-son dynamic. DC KO #3 escalates the tournament with creative team-ups, major eliminations, Lex Luthor's calculated use of Supergirl, Joker's chaotic advantage, and a cliffhanger teasing Absolute-inspired threats. The episode closes with Green Lantern Corps #12, where Morgan Hampton juggles multiple Lantern factions, Larfleeze's assault on Oa, Fatality's uncertain allegiance, and a looming planetary threat, delivering a dense, fast-paced issue that emerges as the week's top contender.
Welcome to 2026, one and all! And boy oh boy are we starting this one off with a BANG. Gold Team gathers together in the form of Ian, Chris Eberle and Adam Murdough, as we begin our journey into Mark Waid’s New History of the DC Universe! But before we go into the issues themselves, we must first start at the very beginning. In this instance, that means…the cover. That’s right, over the course of this and the next episode, we will be breaking down each and every character included on Scott Koblish’s Cover D Variant for this first issue, focusing on the Golden Age of DC (and subsequently Fawcett, Charlton, Quality, and a few other publishers) Universe. And here is a link to DC’s high resolution version of this cover that we used for the YouTube version of this episode. Prepare yourself for plenty of punny nom de plumes, ridiculous origins, and villains becoming villains so they can murder a dog; okay that was just one of them, but that’s still one too many. Positively Murdoughnian, baby!

The New Year has arrived, and it may already be doomed, but there are still comics, movies, and shows we can enjoy as the world burns around us! Superman and Spider-Man cross over for the third time, care of Mark Waid, Jorge Jimenez, and many other friends! Jimmy Olsen meets Carnage! And the classic ’70s crossovers are getting new facsimile reprints to complete the collection! “Ultimate Endgame” is here as the new Marvel Ultimate universe wraps up as the 616 universe faces Armageddon via Chip Zdarsky! DC’s Absolute line gets a Catwoman and a dead(?) Green Arrow, while the main DC comics reach the “Next Level” with new titles for Lobo, Batwoman, Deathstroke, and many more! Vertigo finally returns with new creator-owned comics and a revival of “100 Bullets”! Archie hits the reboot button again, but this time in collaboration with Oni Press, and with Archie in Hell! And did anybody say “Reign of the Superboys” — and the return of li’l Jon Kent!? But there are also movies and shows aplenty heading our way! Wonder Man will take on superhero fatigue with Sir Ben Kingsley in mere weeks, while Fall will bring us “VisionQuest” — possibly with brand-collab Utron sex toys!? Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will have his Brand New Day this summer while Supergirl is having a red-sun-induced drunken birthday bash with Lobo! “Lanterns” is probably maybe actually coming out this year, while “X-Men ’97” and “Daredevil: Born Again” have a lot to prove after behind-the-scenes difficulties and creative shake-ups. “Avengers: Doomsday” continues to loom, as do about a million ugly fake AI teasers that are driving us nuts, but also a million real teasers that will probably also drive us nuts?

Después de la saga Secret Empire, donde fue suplantado por una versión maligna leal a HYDRA, Cap vuelve al camino a reconectarse con los estadounidenses de a pie, y de paso, pegarle a unos supremacistas blancos. Además, el ranking anual de lo que leímos juntos, y planes para 2026.

2025 has been the Year of Superman, and Missing Frames has been celebrating James Gunn's new film by sitting down with some of the writers, artists, and actors who help make the Man of Steel so special. Past conversations have included comic legends Dan Jurgens, Mark Waid, Tom King, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, reflections on Richard Donner's iconic film with Lauren Shuler Donner, and even a chat with Ma Kent herself, Neva Howell.Today's guest is another incredible talent: Jonah Lees, who appears in Superman as Dean Farr, one of Lex Luthor's LuthorCorp cronies, alongside his real-life twin brother, Christian. But Jonah's career extends far beyond Metropolis. A highlight of the conversation is his work with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke on Blue Moon, as well as his recent portrayal of John Lennon in the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man. An actor, songwriter, musician, and director, Jonah is a multifaceted creative whose range is as impressive as it is exciting. What begins as a Superman celebration quickly becomes a love letter to many shared passions: Superman, Richard Linklater, and The Beatles.

Episode 89 - Murdock and Marvel: 2015 Part 2 2015 was a turning point for the American comic industry in a number of ways, and seems to be a satisfying place to wrap up our look at over 50 years of American comic books. This year is in many ways a fulcrum that links the insular comics world that I grew up in with the fast-moving media-entwined and politically-charged environment of recent times. This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2015. The Year in Daredevil Appearances: Daredevil v4 #10-18, She-Hulk #10, Superior Iron Man #1-2, Marvel Free Previews Scret Wars #1, Deadpool #45, Night Nurse #1, Secret Wars Journal #5, All-New, All-Different Point One #1 Writer: Mark Waid (#10-18) Pencils: Chris Samnee (#10-18) Inks: Chris Samnee (#10-18) We kick off the year with the big Purple Man arc that rolled over from 2014. Kilgrave is having a full-on existential crisis—he wants genuine affection for once—so he rounds up his five kids, each of whom has a piece of his mind-control powers. But teaming them up backfires spectacularly: the kids turn on him and literally toss him into the street… where he gets smoked by a train. Classic family bonding. With dad out of the picture, the kids go wild—stealing a cop car, causing mayhem—until Daredevil shows up to contain them. But these kids aren't like Kilgrave alone; together they're a psychic wrecking ball and Matt ends up curled under a bridge in a full panic response. Kilgrave, very much alive, shows up to beat him senseless… until one magic word—“fear”—snaps Matt back into fight mode. Still, Kilgrave and the kids slip away. After regrouping with Kirsten, Daredevil tracks the whole purple family to a mall arcade (which is honestly a perfect place for a mind-control clan). With some strategic help from police, Matt gets the kids separated so their powers weaken, and everyone—including Kilgrave—gets taken into custody. And the issue closes with a surprisingly tender moment of Matt finally letting Kirsten in—on every level. Meanwhile, there's a running side plot: Kirsten's father offers Matt eight million dollars for a Daredevil autobiography. So throughout the year we see Matt and his ghostwriter Foggy chipping away at the book. Next up: the Stunt-Master saga. A new, young, daredevil wannabe is stealing the identity of the original Stunt-Master and pulling off death-defying stunts all over San Francisco. The original, George Smith, wants to sue and goes to Matt—but legally, he doesn't really have a case. When the new Stunt-Master publicly challenges Daredevil to join his next big stunt on the Golden Gate Bridge, Matt refuses… until he hears that Smith has apparently committed suicide. Daredevil accepts the challenge and instantly realizes something is off. He discovers that the rider at the stunt is actually Smith himself—and that the “new” Stunt-Master's whole trick is murdering stand-ins to survive his stunts. Matt gives chase in a wild car/motorcycle sequence, only for Kirsten to be the one who cracks the final twist: Smith faked the suicide and played everyone. His goal wasn't fame—it was immortality as the world's greatest “death cheater.” Then we get a really fun twist: Kirsten gets her own arch-nemesis. Matt's worried that their relationship is putting her in danger… and then she's kidnapped. Except it's not one of Matt's villains—it's the Lilac Killer, a serial killer Kirsten has been investigating. She's thrilled, shouting, “I have my own arch-foe!” while Daredevil rescues her. It's great. In Issue #14, the Matt/Daredevil identity line really starts blurring. Matt's now showing up in court in a full red suit with a giant DD belt buckle, handing out Daredevil business cards—subtlety is dead. He's asked to investigate a “bird-man predator,” which sends him into a team-up with Jubula Pride, the Owl's daughter. They eventually discover the Owl himself has been kidnapped and wired into a massive surveillance system run by the Shroud, who is spiraling emotionally and spying on everyone through any electronic device. Daredevil and Jubula try taking the Shroud down but get overwhelmed. When they go to the deputy mayor for help, things get worse—Jubula gets mistaken for a child kidnapper because of events going all the way back to Issue #1. So now the cops are after both of them, and Jubula drops the bomb: there's only one person who can help… Wilson Fisk. Then we get an out-of-order Issue 15.1—a couple of standalone stories from Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, and Marc Guggenheim—but we'll save that one for this week's spotlight. Back to the main story: Matt meets with Kingpin and asks for protection for himself and his friends from the Shroud. Fisk loves every second of this and demands payment. Matt gives him the wildest offer possible: “I offer you the death of Matt Murdock. Interested?” Meanwhile, Foggy and Kirsten are ambushed and kidnapped by Ikari—the hyper-sensed assassin from Volume 3—now working for Fisk. And Kingpin has also secretly captured Julia Carpenter, the woman the Shroud is obsessed with. Jubula tracks Julia to the airport and tries to hand her over to the Shroud as a bargaining chip for her father, but Daredevil crashes the meeting, Julia refuses to go, and everything explodes. Matt returns to Fisk to negotiate but finds Ikari holding Foggy, Kirsten, and Julia hostage. Fisk wants to ditch their original terms and just watch Ikari kill Daredevil. The fight spills across San Francisco until the Shroud intervenes and kills Ikari—realizing Fisk has Julia. He proposes a truce with Matt to save the people they love. In the big finale, Daredevil disguises himself as Ikari to infiltrate Fisk's stronghold. The ruse works… for about 30 seconds. Foggy starts fighting a guard, chaos erupts, and Fisk realizes Ikari is dead. But just then the Shroud broadcasts Fisk's secret business dealings to the world—mirroring what he once did to Matt—and police storm the building. In the chaos, Daredevil gets the hostages free and escapes. The dust settles: Julia Carpenter takes down the Shroud with a poisoned kiss. The deputy mayor rescinds the arrest warrant and helps clean up Matt's legal fallout. And Foggy and Matt share a grounded heart-to-heart about what it means for Matt to be “living in the light”.

It's 1993 and Flash Volume 2 #73 delivers a Chritmas story featuring two Flashs, Wally Wood and Jay Garrick. Mark Waid and Greg LaRocque deliver one heck of a comic.

Come with us to the future of the past as we read "Kingdom Come," written by superhero powerhouse Mark Waid and painstakingly painted by Alex Ross. This dark vision of the future of DC superheroes might be a commentary on the grim-dark comics of the 1990s, or it might be an excuse to get all of Mark Waid's favourite characters in a room with Alex Ross' dad. Either way, the art (in this fully auditory podcast) is amazing. Music by Sleuth.
