En este episodio Eduo recomienda a Álex leer un cómic estadounidense llamado Preacher.Preacher narra la historia de Jesse Custer, un predicador del sur de Estados Unidos que quiere tener unas palabras con el mismísimo Dios todopoderoso. Creada por Steve Dillon y Garth Ennis en 1995, el comicbook de Vertigo causó sensación y es recordado como uno de los más icónicos del género sobrenatural. Enlaces Preacher (comics) Preacher (TV series) Ruth Negga Preacher Season 2: AMC Show Renewed for 13 Episodes
Ed Fortune, Rebecca Derrick, Si Lloyd and Ross O'Brien discuss Mike Carey's Lucifer series, and then take a swipe at Preacher and the new Preacher TV series (We avoid talking about the new Lucifer TV show, because we are geeks of good taste). All recordings are issued under official license from Fab Radio International. The Bookworm is a Truly Outrageous Production.
FOR THE RIGHT TO BE GOVERNED, WASTE THEM WITHOUT MERCY As our (pretend) close personal confidant Luke Haines will tell you, “it’s not for God’s love/ it’s not for cocaine,” which are the only two extremes on the religion-80s drugs scale. Of course it’s not, you dirty heathens! It’s for COMICS. All-inclusive SILENCE!, the comics podcast that makes you listen to ladies etc sometimes. Gary Lactus is joined by emergency guest Maid of Nails all the way from the Razor House in darkest Caledonia, who like any other Strong Female Character can talk massive amounts of shit just like Them Goize. Comedy, maternal pop culture reviews, we’ve got it all. Find out whose mother really wants to hear more about the Ents, and exactly how to catch Gary Lactus’ comedy show in London. The Reviewniverse spawns chat of Judge Dredd, 2000AD, Wolverine Goes To Japan On His Gap Year, Nighthawk, Bitch Planet, Civil War II, The Ultimates, Wicked And Divine, Wonder Woman, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Auaman, Punisher, All Star Section 8 and some talk of the Preacher TV show thing.

Omdat één episode niet volstond, keken de pod-o-nauten naar 2 episodes Preacher alvorens hun onverbiddellijk oordeel te vellen. (het is niet zo onverbiddelijk) Spoilers galore in deze in-depth terugblik op wat ze nu exact zagen. Veel vergelijking met de comics (wat wil je) maar hopelijk een eerlijke en gematigde kijk.
In this episode of ScatterShot, Alan and Colin cast an eye over Kill Command, The Do-Over, Special Correspondents, The Banner Saga, X-Men: Apocalypse and Preacher (TV). We top the show off with a touch of housekeeping and some fruit based gags. Tasty!
On this week’s McYapAndFries movie podcast as sponsored by greenroom136.com Iain & Gavin review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, X-Men Apocalypse, the first episode of AMC’s Preacher TV show and retro horror The House of the Devil and discuss DC’s Rebirth event and the controversy surrounding Steve Rogers Captain America #1 All this […] The post Perving over Laura Linney appeared first on McYapandFries.com.
Ming and Mike talk to artist Will Robson about his journey from indie comic artist to working for Marvel. Also: The debut of the Preacher TV show on AMC and their unique marketing.
Na verschillende pogingen voor zowel film als TV, hakte Seth Rogen bij AMC de knoop door voor een nieuwe Preacher TV-reeks. Zonder dollen is de comic dan ook wellicht de beste volwassen strip van de laatste 30 jaar. Dat verdient dus een Reading Club zoals alleen jouw favoriete pod-o-nauten kunnen afleveren. Slecht uitgesproken namen, compleet misplaatste interpretaties en flauwe seksgrappen. Niet noodzakelijk in die volgorde. Soms hebben ze zelfs misschien nog iets pseudo-intelligent te vertellen. Denken ze.
Så er det blevet breaking news time. Arni har set de første 4 afsnit af Preacher tv serien og vil hjertens gerne fortælle om det (for han er ikke skuffet). Vi taler om det Darwyn Cookes alt for tidlige død og om Rune Rybergs nyudgivelse: Turbo Fang. Der er Art-Bubble nyheder, og en snak om Troy Littles tegneserie version af Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Og så har Lasse læst nogle af de nye Vertigo serier som han taler lidt om. Desværre lider podcasten af lidt tekniske problemer med en computer der går ned fire gange i løbet af optagelsen, forhåbentligt er det ikke noget i lægger mærke til :)

We start out by providing some outtakes for the blooper reel, as VF proves that the fate of the podcast lies with the person who controls the soundboard. We talk the perils of alcoholism, blues jams at work, and another discussion of the World of Warcraft, where we get to celebrate a once in a lifetime gaming achievement in the life of Doc Thirst. Once the show gets back on track, we lay down some crack reporting in the "Comic News" segment, and touch on the new Star Wars comic, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Aquaman, and the Preacher TV series. We then welcome Michael Leal, from the Who The What Now podcast, to help us discuss The Walking Dead, Trade Paperback Volume 12 (Issues #67-72). "Rapid Fire Review" gets scrapped in favor of spending more time on a smaller number of books, as we take a slightly more in depth look at Crossed + One Hundred #1, Batman Eternal #35, Wolf Moon #1, Jennifer Blood Born Again #5 (of 5), and '68 Homefront #4 (of 4). We wrap things up with a discussion of the books being released December 10, 2014, and let everyone what we'll be reading, and what we'll be leaving on the shelf. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to check out our show. We appreciate it, and apologize in advance. Stick with us… we’ll get better… eventually.
We touch on a variety of topics in this episode, including the new Constantine and Preacher TV series, comics, and more!

We apologise for the general apathy and lethargy displayed during episode 7. This was due to circumstances (alcohol) beyond our control. Anyway in this episode we discuss the delights of some of the games on the Xbox 360 namely Dead Rising (a teddy bear as an offensive weapon surely not), Gears of War and Rainbow Six Las Vegas. The upcoming Preacher TV series is discussed as well the new Starship Troopers movie. Dave rants about the Sony mp3 player and Barry finally blows his top over Smallville. Several new Tv soundtracks are also mentioned. In the middle of all of this we do our most difficult review so far�the last ever (barring the epilogue) issue of Planetary and out thoughts on the series as a whole (minor spoilers). Oops.. nearly forget and the competition winner is announced.
