Episode 10 - Invincible

We apologize for missing a week Sean L. was in Scotland so we make it up and review the amazing superhero series INVINCIBLE! along with each of our pick of the week. The Henny is out in london for this episode and we stick it to him by reviewing his favorite ongoing series.


Sean L's Pick:
Power Up
If you’ve never read a graphic novel by Doug Tennapel, then you’ve been missing out. This one centers on a video-game console that gives “power ups” that can be used in life. Power Up! features Hugh Randolph, who's kind of stuck in a humdrum existence until a magic item seems to b begin granting him all of his heart's desires, but every wish seems to come at a cost.

Creator: Doug Tennapel




John's Pick:
Impaler
Vampires are overwhelming America, state by state, and the only chance of survival lies at the hands of an ancient hero!

Lt. George Wagner arrives in Washington, D.C., hoping to find reinforcements. Instead, he discovers the nation’s capital has been abandoned, its citizens headed west, away from the approaching vampires. In New Jersey, Victor and Vlad are attacked by the unlikeliest of enemies – Vlad’s brother, Mircea, who was long thought dead but is out for revenge!

Creators: Matt Timson - artist, cover / William Harms - writer


Jonas' Pick:
Invincible #63
Believe it or not this is the cover here is the whole reason Jonas read the entire 10 back trade paper backs just so he could read this book. Good for him too cause we take the episode to review the whole series and what a whammy it is!

Creators: Story by Robert Kirkman / Art by Ryan Ottley, Cliff Rathburn, FCO Plascencia

Episode 9 - Animated Comic Book Series

The Goon will be coming to the big screen soon and we wanted to celebrate by talking of some of our more favorite comic book inspired series.



We also discuss the rising price of comics and how they are affecting everyone already tight budgets. A New York Times article linked here talks about the rising cost of comics throughout the industry. It wouldn't be so bad if they were to cover it up with maybe some hullabaloo about the rising cost of paper in china or something but they just come right out and say "were jacking you for everything! Its getting tougher and tougher to be a geek these days.




We discuss the newest reincarnation of Batman Cartoon Network's Batman Brave & the Bold a fun new campy series that Henny wouldn't stop jabbering about.

We also go over the Hellboy animated series of Sword of Storms and the perfectionist that is Mike Mignola.


We also talk about the Comic book wizard and weirdo that is Alan Moore. Genius or Visionary... Your wrong if you answer either because the answer is both.

Watch this mindblowing video where the "comic book messiah for the 1990's" interviews ... none other than ... himself?



We also humbly beg that you follow the genius that is Rob Liefeld on Twitter!

I mean look at gems like the following - "Got my new Wizard mag, 3 months straight that New Mutants #98 written and illustrated by yours truly is #1 hottest comic. Sweet."
