Comics Are My Happy Place
SUPERGIRL PT 1
Season 3, Ep. 3
•
It's part one of a two spectacular as Colin and Nick dive into the world of the many (and slightly confusing) versions of Supergirl in honour of the new film being released. Why is one of them a ball of pink protoplasm? Is it icky that she starts dating a parallel universe version of her "father"? And who has enough lead to coat an asteroid knocking around in their shed?
As well as the superchat, Colin and Nick chat about what they've been reading recently, namely classic Hellblazer and New 52 Animal Man.
As always, an extended version of this episode is available on Patreon with bonus Masters Of The Universe and pocket universe (unrelated) chat - link below

4. SUPERGIRL PT 2 + MARVEL SUPERGIRLS
29:11||Season 3, Ep. 4It's the second part of our dive into the world of Supergirl and, this week Colin and Nick take a look at the comic that's the inspiration behind the film, Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow as well as chatting about the nearest Marvel equivalents (sort of) to Supergirl:- Cammi, America Chavez and Darkstar. They'll be asking the important questions like why is Marvel so obsessed with just "dark" as a power?Issues ReadSupergirl: Woman Of TomorrowSupergirl #1 2025Marvel Supergirls427.

2. DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN + HIS WEIRDEST VILLAINS
55:49||Season 3, Ep. 2Colin and Nick are back once again with the nerd behaviour to chat about season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again (but only because Nick hasn't watched season 2 yet) and take a look at some of his weirdest villains. What is Gladiator's business model? Why does Mister Fear want to bring waxworks to life? And has no one thought of pushing both of Stilt Man's legs at the same time to make him fall over?Away from the world of Marvel, the chaps have been immersing themselves in some classic 90s Bat action, namely Nightwing and Alan Grant's Shadow Of The BatIssues Read291.

And is Tarantula's power just having really really pointy shoes?(NB - We'll be taking a little break over Easter and will be back in April with new episodes!)Read Along with us!

22. Why does BATROC get a brigade?
48:52||Season 2, Ep. 22BATROC, WHIRLWIND, LIVING LASER, ZARAN, MACHETEBonjour, mes amis! Join your jovial hosts Colin and Nick as they take a look at one of the few Marvel characters who has his own brigade - yes, it's the probably racially-insensitively named Batroc The Leaper (a man skilled in the noble French art of feet boxing). Who are the rest of his brigade? Are they supervillains to be taken seriously? And are any of them actually any good? These questions and fewer might be answered in this week's episode....264.

Who were the X-Statix? Did anyone make it through the revolving door of death? Was Princess Diana really on the team? And what is Doop saying? Some of these questions may be answered...255.
