Hemos oído hablar tantas veces de aquellas series de los 80 a punto de ser canceladas a los que llegaba un nuevo autor con una visión, las revolucionaba y convertía, no sólo en un éxito, sino en un clásico inmortal. El Daredevil de Frank Miller, La Cosa de Pantano de Moore, el Thor de Simonson… pero no es tan habitual una etapa de estas características en nuestro siglo. Cuando llegamos a finales de 2004, en un momento en el que estaba naciendo una nueva Marvel, el cambio de siglo no había sido especialmente amable con el Capitán América y las ventas no funcionaban. Fue entonces cuando llegó un guionista pujante, que se había granjeado cierta popularidad en DC con series como Batman, Catwoman o Gotham Central. Su nombre era Ed Brubaker y, para acompañarle, volvía a Marvel Steve Epting, un dibujante con una dilatada carrera con la casa de las ideas en series como Los Vengadores o Factor-X, que regresaba tras una temporada fuera. Mezclando la influencia de Steve Englehart o Jim Steranko con James Bond, Tom Clancy, El caso Bourne o la serie 24 e incorporando a lo gráfico los nuevos dictados que había venido marcando Bryan Hitch, nos daban una historia trepidante; una historia que mezclaba la tradición con una visión completamente nueva que se convertiría en un clásico instantáneo. Llegarían después para apoyar a Epting Butch Guice, Luke Ross. Mike Perkins, Michael Lark y tantos otros hasta dejar un total de 8 años de historias memorables en aquellos Estados Unidos muy marcados con el 11S y dejando surgir muchas de las aguas políticas en las que nadamos hoy en día y que Brubaker integra con la tradición del capi como si siempre hubieran formado parte. Más de 4 horas de monográfico para repasar este clásico moderno, que cumple 20 años. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro. Parece el sitio perfecto para escuchar el podcast 354 de ELHDLT Selección musical: 🎶 Real American, de Rick Derringer 🎶 Born In The U.S.A., de Bruce Springsteen 🎶 Season 3 Finale - Jack's Humanity , de Sean Callery (24 Banda sonora original)

Llevábamos unos episodios hablando de cómics de calidad más que dudosa, con lo que podéis imaginar que estábamos deseosos de que llegase este episodio porque significaba centrarnos en una de las mejores series que ha publicado DC Comics (y el cómic mainstream norteamericano en general) en el siglo XXI. Hablamos de "Gotham Central", la serie de Greg Rucka, Ed Brubaker y Michael Lark (junto con otros ilustradores) que narra las aventuras profesionales (y personales) del departamento de policía de la ciudad de Gotham.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (2014), from directors Anthony and Joe Russo and a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and based off Marvel characters created by Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby.  The "Winter Soldier" storyline by Steve Epting, Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark is also credited. Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America (Chris Evans) returns in the thrilling second film of the Captain America trilogy. After Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is assassinated, and he is branded a fugitive and hunted by SHIELD, the story masterfully combines the espionage/thriller genres with the super hero story to tell a compelling story where Cap must confront his past to discover the truth behind a sinister conspiracy to take over the world.  The film clocks in at 2 h and 46 m, is rated PG-13 and can be found streaming currently on Max. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.  #CaptainAmerica  #CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier  #JoeSimon  #JackKirby  #SteveEpting  #EdBrubaker  #MichaelLark  #JoeRusso  #AnthonyRusso  #TheRussoBrothers  #ChrisEvans  #SteveRogers  #CaptainAmerica  #SamuelLJackson  #NickFury  #ScarlettJohansson  #NatashaRomanoff  #BlackWidow  #SebastianStan  #BuckyBarnes  #WinterSoldier  #RobertRedford  #AlexanderPierce  #AnthonyMAckie  #SamWilson  #Falcon  #CobieSmulders  #MariaHill  #FrankGrillo  #BrockRumlow  #EmilyVanCamp  #Kate  #Agent13  #MaximilianoHernandez  #JasperSitwell  #HayleyAtwell  #PeggyCarter  #TobyJones  #DrZola  #StanLee  #MuseumGuard  @Disney+  #FridayFamilyFilmNight Opening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jokagoge/support

At long last, we're here! When we began our podcast back in the halcyon days of 2017, we started with a series of episodes counting down the top 25 Marvel comics of all time. Eventually, we finished that list and made plans to do a top 25 DC comics list. In the past couple years, we've teased and tantalized with a few honorable mentions (and dishonorable mentions), but now it is time to begin the countdown proper in earnest! Long have we waited! This is not a dream, not a hoax, not an imaginary story! We are starting our top 25 DC comics countdown! In this episode, we provide a refresher regarding our criteria and thought processes behind our list, and we unveil #25: Gotham Central by Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka, Michael Lark, and their pals! Join us for an invigorating discussion about why Gotham Central is one of our picks for one of the top 25 DC comics of all time! Don't expect the countdown to take over the feed entirely, as we have many other intriguing comics on our upcoming podcast schedule. However, we definitely have a few more countdown episodes scheduled for the rest of the year, so we'll be sprinkling these in with the rest of our usual episodes. If you have any thoughts, comments, questions, or corrections, we're here. Feel free to hit us up on our socials, or email us!

Is there a Gotham City without Batman? Gotham Central written in collaboration by Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker gives us a unique perspective from the detectives of G.C.P.D Major Crimes Unit. This anthology of cohesively written stories establishes the detectives that are hitting the streets, and searching for answers to crimes living in the shadow of Batman. These characters struggle with fighting for legitimacy, while doing their jobs before Batman can swoop in to save the day. The G.C.P.D fights to answer the question how villains' are made as they combat not only villain's from Batman's history, but also work to solve murders, cold cases, find missing persons, and so much more. With the art of Michael Lark, Stefano Gaudiano and Kano, this team establishes a modern crime noir story based in DC Comics fan favorite city of Gotham that makes it feel gritty, but authentic in order to focus on the story while investing in characters who you will eager to buckle in for the ride ahead. Batman has nothing on the detectives of the G.C.P.D. Not if this incredible collaborative team has anything to say about it.

For decades, Bucky Barnes sat cooling his heels with Ben Parker in the exclusive club of characters Marvel Comics would never bring back from the dead.

While chasing down a terrorist plot with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Sharon Carter, Captain America starts having flashbacks to World War II and the heroic death of his teen sidekick, Bucky—who might also be the Soviet assassin known as the Winter Soldier! Can the Star-Spangled Avenger help this ruthless killing machine remember who he is, while also facing off against Crossbones and a Russian mastermind with a Cosmic Cube? And can this popular and influential story arc score an invite to that Party in the U.S.A. known as ... The Comics Canon?

On this episode we discuss Terminal City - the acclaimed Eisner winning comic written by Dean Motter and illustrated by Michael Lark. Originally published by Vertigo in 1996/1997 in two limited runs or 9 and 5 issues respectively. We however are reading from the Dark Horse re-release The Compleat Terminal City published in 2012. We are a The post Collected Edition: Episode 9: Terminal City appeared first on The Collected Edition.

Are you ready for Forever? This week we're discussing the first volume of LAZARUS, Greg Rucka and Michael Lark's ongoing dystopian series. We meet Forever Carlyle, daughter of Family Carlyle, as she dies - and then gets back up, killing a small group of people who were stealing food from Carlyle stores. Forever is a Lazarus, created by her father to serve their family and made to believe she's his daughter in order to tie her to them with bonds of love and loyalty. But the other Carlyles look down on Forever and dismiss her, even as they use her as the greatest weapon in their arsenal against the nearby Morray Family as well as their own people. We explore what it means to be family in a world where all life revolves around the Family you belong to - whether as a blood relative, a serf who serves them, or the waste they despise. What does it mean to be a Lazarus? Is Forever only the sum of her Carlyle parts, or can she embrace the growing empathy within her that no one else around her seems to share? And will there ever be a dystopian caste society that doesn't end up with an incest subplot? We've got the water, let's sit on the side of the road and talk about it while the sun goes down.

In this episode, we take you all the way back to the very first collaboration between Ed Brubaker, Michael Lark, and Sean Phillips, the 4-issue miniseries Scene of the Crime.  Scene of the Crime was originally published by Vertigo back in 1999, and shows that the team was firing on all cylinders right out of the gate.  Recommendations this month are the films Batman (1989) and The Outfit, a 1973 adaptation of the Richard Stark novel.

In which the Off-Panelists fall from grace and struggle to feel the feels, going head-to-head over acclaimed titles and proving that the tensions run as high as ever when it comes to the cruel mistress that is unemployment. Join the Spaniard, the Sloth, and the Southerner as they embark on yet another week of funny books, surprising even themselves with the length of their lists and wondering whether or not thirty seconds of a life can be reclaimed when taken by a video featuring Rob Liefield. After debating the merits of the casting of Rocket Raccoon and recapping the completion of the 30 Day Challenge, the three delve into such titles as Francis Manupal and Brian Bucceletto's The Flash, Greg Rucka and Michael Lark's Lazarus, Jason Aaron's Thor: God of Thunder, and a new title from the team of Art Baltazar and Franco, Itty Bitty Hellboy. First, there was Bennifer. Then there was Tomkat. Now, there is only... Malex.Download here!

This week on The Comics Alternative, the Two Guys with PhDs review several #1 issues that have come out in the past couple of weeks. First, they discuss two Vertigo titles, Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's 100 Bullets: Brother Lono, and Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson's Astro City. Andy and Derek spend a bit of time discussing the earlier series that these new comics are based on, but they also point out how both of these #1 issues are good jumping on points and accessible to readers unfamiliar with 100 Bullets and the earlier Astro City works. In addition, they argue that these two titles are just another indication that earlier worries about Vertigo's fate might have been misplaced. Next they move on to Six-Gun Gorilla (Boom! Studios), written by Simon Spurrier with art by Jeff Stokely. The guys note the unique atmosphere of this title, science fiction in what appears to be a late-nineteen-century-like setting, and of course allude to the original pulp story, serialized in the UK magazine Wizard in 1939, that this comic is based on. Next, Andy and Derek look at another kind of science fiction mashup, Greg Rucka and Michael Lark's Lazarus (Image Comics). This new ongoing series has a lot of promise, and the guys point out how the creators do an incredible job of setting up their premise in this first issue.  If these are the kind of #1 issues we can expect to see this summer, then hold onto your sunscreen…the fun is just beginning!

Ed answers some Word Balloon listeners questions, and previews the new arc of Incognito with artist Sean Phillips premireing next month from Icon.
