Ep. #239 - Cape Fear

• Intro - For comics at an outrageously high discount, head over to DCBS where comics are between 20% and 40% off. I bet you'll find any Spawn comic you want.

• Spawn - David and Austin are now filled to the tops of their skulls with Spawn-related media, and it all comes a-tumblin' out in this episode. How did Image Comics form (in brief) and what was Spawn's role in that process, not to mention the process of making comics what they are now, and were in the 90s? We cover the comic, the movie, the TV show, and some other small bits of the phenome-Spawn OHHH...thank you for listening.

Ep. #238 - The Art Of Legacy

• Intro - For comics at an outrageously high discount, head over to DCBS where comics are between 20% and 40% off. It's psychotic madness I'm tellin' ya'! Brycen emails us from Utah and we're mean to him because we love him. Then we quickly review Ant-Man!

• The Legacy of Art - What makes a piece of art stand the test of time? Why are some books consider classics and then others completely forgotten? Join us as we get conversational about important stuff like Persepolis, and then ACTUAL important stuff like Boy Meets World and Dawson's Creek.

• Topic Thunder - San Diego Comic Con International happened, a lot of announcements were made, and we discuss the ones that we think will be fun to discuss. And yes, there is an argument about the word "romp" and which things it can and cannot be applied to. If that's your jam, then you're in luck. We didn't even talk about Star Wars.

Ep. #236 - Apologetic Nostalgia

• Intro - For comics at an outrageously high discount, head over to DCBS - their site offers between 20 and 40% off! Batman Begins was a film (is still a film, in fact) and it gets a few seconds.

• Topic Thunder - We discuss Airboy #2, written by James Robinson and illustrated by Greg Hinkle. The issue contained some transphobic language and situations. James Robinson issued a statement through GLAAD, and the Comics Alliance article we cite on-air by Charlotte Finn is available here.

• Nostalgia In Art - How much is nostalgia utilized by modern art and pop-culture? Is it having a detrimental effect? Is everything created inherently nostalgic? A Top 5 caps off this segment, and then a special appearance by a phone message (sort of) recorded literally as we were recording. That makes sense once you hear it.
