EPISODE 318 - It's Hulk versus the Leader! Sort of! Really, it's Hulk versus Half-Life, who was sent BY the Leader.  Didn't Hulk beat him pretty easily before? Yeah, but now Half-Life has ARMOR! Despite this lackluster description, the issue is good! Peter David is writing the Grey Hulk as he wishes, and Todd McFarlane's art has fully manifested.  In Loose Screws, Will discusses his new ring tone (really) and Kevin is mad about spoilers for the new Thunderbolts* movie. ----- Subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com for monthly bonus episodes -- profits go to comics-related charities.

Pour célébrer la sortie de sa suite aux États-Unis, ComicDisccovery vous plonge dans un récit culte et controversé de l'univers Marvel : Spider-Man Reign (ou L'Empire en version française), écrit et dessiné par Kaare Andrews. Qui est Kaare Andrews ?Kaare Andrews, auteur canadien aux multiples talents, s'est imposé comme une figure incontournable du comics indépendant et mainstream. Reconnu pour son style graphique audacieux et cinématographique, il a travaillé sur plusieurs séries emblématiques de Marvel comme Iron Fist, Hulk ou encore X-Men. En parallèle de sa carrière dans la bande dessinée, Andrews s'est lancé dans la réalisation de films, explorant des univers visuels marqués par l'expérimentation et la narration atypique. Spider-Man Reign : un futur sombre pour Peter ParkerAvec Spider-Man Reign, Kaare Andrews propose une relecture sombre et poignante de Peter Parker, souvent comparée à The Dark Knight Returns de Frank Miller. L'intrigue nous plonge dans un New York dystopique, placé sous un régime autoritaire où les médias et la population sont étroitement surveillés. Peter Parker, désormais âgé et retiré du monde super-héroïque, vit seul, rongé par le chagrin et la culpabilité. Mais lorsqu'un ancien allié vient raviver la flamme de l'espoir, il est contraint de reprendre le masque de Spider-Man pour mener une révolte contre l'oppression. Un récit engagé et émotionnelSpider-Man Reign explore des thématiques puissantes : la perte, la mémoire, le poids du passé et la résistance face à un système qui écrase l'individu. Kaare Andrews y développe une vision mature et introspective du super-héros, loin des récits classiques. Un épisode à ne pas manquerAlors, Spider-Man Reign est-il une œuvre méconnue à redécouvrir ou une dystopie qui divise ? On en débat dans ce nouvel épisode de ComicDisccovery, votre podcast dédié à l'analyse et à la passion de la bande dessinée.

Read transcriptHell hath no fury like a Hellspawn scorned, especially when that Hellspawn is leaping between platforms on your PlayStation 2! This week's episode of Play Comics dives headfirst into the fiery pits of “Spawn Armageddon,” the video game that attempted to cram the first 99 issues of Todd McFarlane's demonic anti-hero saga into button-mashing glory on PS2, Xbox, and GameCube. Chains will fly, capes will billow dramatically for no apparent reason, and we'll answer the burning question: can any game truly capture the essence of a character who essentially told both Heaven and Hell to take a hike? Joining us on this unholy quest is the supremely talented Rob Duenas from the Sketchcraft YouTube channel, whose pencil might actually be mightier than Spawn's chains. When Rob isn't dropping knowledge bombs about art techniques online, he's busy creating jaw-dropping illustrations for comic books – including the mind-bending “Spawn Kills Every Spawn.” Yes folks, our guest has literally drawn Spawn murdering alternate versions of himself, which makes him uniquely qualified to judge a game where Spawn murders… well, pretty much everything else. So grab your favorite necroplasm-infused beverage, wrap yourself in a sentient cape that definitely isn't judging your choice of pajamas, and prepare for an episode more twisted than Violator's family reunion. We're diving deep into the 2003 gaming experience that asked the important question: “What if we gave the angriest character in comics a bunch of weapons and unleashed him in a world that looks suspiciously like the developer's first attempt at a 3D environment?” The answer, dear listeners, involves a lot more jumping puzzles than anyone ever asked for. Learn such things as: Who would have thought that Rob knows so much about game development? Would anyone believe that you could cram 99 issues of comic story into a single game back in 2003? Is this really how we're going to let Spawn end in console games? And so much more! You can find Rob on on YouTube @Sketchcraft or his website Sketchcraft which has links to whatever social media places are still alive this week.

In 1988's Amazing Spider-Man #300, Venom debuted as a ruthless, psychotic stalker and quickly became Spidey's top villain. Within five years, he was so popular that Marvel semi-rehabilitated him into an antihero with his own series. But by the end of the decade, the character had become overexposed and was removed from active circulation. In the wake of the release of Venom: The Last Dance, we look back at one of the strangest evolutions of the Iron Age and ask the big questions. How did David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane turn a four-year-old completed subplot about a new costume and a newly retconned supporting character into the basis of a franchise? Why did Marvel give Venom a string of consecutive limited series instead of a traditional ongoing? And how are his powers even actually supposed to work?

Listen here to discover how Todd McFarlane reinvented comic book icons, founded Image Comics, and revamped the toy business with a priority on quality! What We Discuss with Todd McFarlane: How Todd McFarlane successfully reinvented Spider-Man and created the iconic character Venom while working at Marvel Comics, despite facing resistance from his bosses who were reluctant to change the status quo. Why Todd left Marvel to co-found Image Comics, which became the third-largest comic book company in the world — and where he set records for independent comic book sales with his highly successful character Spawn. Why Todd emphasizes the importance of creating the best possible product and offering it at a competitive price point, even if it means spending more time and money than the competition. How Todd's unorthodox negotiation tactics allow him to outlast opponents in meetings and get better deals. Todd is a living example that you can succeed by embracing your creativity, focusing on quality, and challenging the status quo. With hard work and a willingness to innovate, you can make a significant impact in your chosen field. And much more...
