The show is brimming with goodness today as we welcome aboard Daniel Quantz & R.J. Ryan plus Archaia marketing directer Mel Caylo to the show. We talk their newly released Archaia graphic novel SYNDROME with beautiful art by David Marquez, plus we hash out the production process for a book like this, designing the setting and characters, and how long it all takes to bring to fulfillment.

We then jump in full bore with the creators with this week’s reading pile, including BATMAN AND ROBIN #14, INVINCIBLE IRON MAN, SCARLET, George R.R. Martin’s HEDGE KNIGHT series, AVENGERS, as well as THE HEROIC AGE in general, CAPTAIN AMERICA, Felipe Smith’s PEEPO CHOO vol. 2, X-FACTOR #208, JOE THE BARBARIAN #7, & CBGB #3. Even with guests, passions are enflamed as Caleb raves about THE KUROSAGI CORPSE DELIVERY SERVICE, Aaron can’t believe Black Panther is pinch-hitting for Daredevil, and Chris unfavorably compares Spider-Man: One Moment in Time to Life to Archie-The Married Life.

 

Our Picks of the Week

Aaron-George R.R. Martin’s Hedge Knight series.
Chris- Peepo Choo v2
Caleb- Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Servic
e v11

All available at Meltdown Comics


 

We’re brimming with comics goodness today as we break down the new direction of the Bat books (especially BATMAN INC.), compare and contrast the return of Bruce Wayne versus the resurrection of Steve Rogers.

Then we tackle a whole mess of Alan Moore books: ANOTHER SUBURBAN ROMANCE, THE COURTYARD & THE COURTYARD COMPANION, LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE and A SMALL KILLING, followed by a discussion of AVENGERS: CHILDREN’S CRUSADE #1, the underratedness of artist Jacen Burrows, absolute format vs. omnibus format, and Marvel Essentials.
