Comics Are My Happy Place

On this week's episode, Colin and Nick are back into the world of X-Men '97 as they're both loving Season 2 which means it's time to take a look at (yeesh) X-Force and ask the important questions:- can Rob Liefeld draw feet? Who thought a man that shoots his hands was going to be the next big thing? And why can't X-Force be cxool like in the cartoon all the timeIssues Read271. X-Force X-Force (1991) #1614.

Colin and Nick are back with more chat about the main man Lobo including a look at the weirdly blandified New 52 version and his daughter Crush. They'll also be adding to the A-Bomb To zzzax Marvel character list with a look at some of Marvel's weirdest cosmic types and asking the questions:- do we need an alternate universe Hulk version of Mister Fantastic? Why are they still trying to make the power of dark a thing? And just who asked for Bug solo comic anyway? Enjoy!Issues Read425. BruteWarlock (1972) #6426. PipStrange Tales (1975) #179428.

Feetal's Gizz! Join Colin and Nick as they take a look at everyone's favourite bastich, the Main Man himself Lobo (as appearing in the recently released Supergirl). They'll ask the important questions of the day like which 2000AD character does he remind them of, why does a genocidal maniac have a strict code of honour and just what is the link between cult 1960s TV show The Prisoner and Nick's recent 50th birthday? There's only one way to find out...Issues ReadOmega Men (1983) #3Justice League International (1987) #18Lobo (1990) #1Lobo - A Contract On Gawd (1994) #1Lobo (2014) #1Teen Titans (2016) #25

It'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.

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 belowCome back next week for part 2Issues Read For Part 1SupergirlAction Comics (1938) #252Daring New Adventures Of Supergirl (1982) #1Supergirl (1996) #1Supergirl (2025) #1

Colin 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.

Join Colin Hoult and Nick Kirk as they take a deep dive into the villains of Spider-Noir - we're talking Black Cat, Electro, Sandman, Molten Man and Silvermane - and tackle the important questions:- is that Black Cat's real hair? Does sand really work like that? And by "molten", do they really mean "just a bit greasy"?We'll also be taking at a look at the new DC Absolute universe, specifically Batman and asking is he just too hench?If you want more Absolute universe chat, why not subscribe to our Patreon (link below) where you'll get an early access extended version of this episode as well as subsequent episodesEnjoy!Read along with usWho are the villains of Spiderman Noir?Black cat Amazing spider man #194-195 1979Electro Amazing Spider-Man #9 1963Sandman Amazing Spider-Man #4 1963Molten man Amazing Spider-Man #28 1963 Silvermane Amazing Spider-Man #73-75 1969Spider-Man noir #1-4 (original series) Amazing Spider-Man #68-#75 for the whole weird tablet story!
