We're taking listener questions on this week's show, so send us some!

Damn, called out

Don’t get me wrong, I think my comics are extremely good (especially Down Set Fight and SwordQuest and that one Guardians of the Galaxy annual) and would love to write more of them in exchange for money.

A few weeks ago someone (very nicely!) referred to me as a “legendary comics writer” and I feel like that’s only accurate if by “legendary” you mean “very little evidence of it exists.”

What idiot called it Starfleet Academy and not Treks Education?

every Tuesday morning on the way to his standing doctor’s appointment, @theisb.bsky.social points out “there’s the Speedway where Greg Bovino got yelled at” and I feel great hometown pride

It's time for more sword rating on this week's show!

Starting to think Ogami Itto might not be a good parent.

He’s perfect

I will give Team Cherry twenty American dollars for a version of Silksong where Hornet is not armed with a pool noodle and suffering from Mr. Glass disease.

I feel like Ajax listeners know me as a top tier hater but may not realize that while his subjects are fewer, Matt hates with a laser-like focus and that runs deep into the coldest depths of Hell.

I’ve known about Pombon for less than an hour but

DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG

I don’t know if Alucard could beat Ridley and Kraid and them, but I do know that Samus Aran would fuck Dracula up so bad he’d never recover.

If I found Monster Hunter to be a huge bummer (because they're just kind of hanging out and you're killing them and they're basically just big animals), would I feel similarly about Monster Hunter Stories or would I like them?

@trungles.com If we ever meet in person, I need to tell you how your tarot deck gave me incredible comfort when my dog passed.

This joke deserved better than it got and as in all things history will vindicate me.

Not to sound dramatic, but pre-orders on this TPB are pretty much going to determine whether we get to do any more Hector in the future So if you've been wanting to check it out, or you think it might make a good gift for a friend or loved one, now is a good time to put in an order

1776 was one of the few comics to make me Actually Mad, because there's a scene where a bunch of Marvel characters explain how time travel works and TIME TRAVEL IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT, I'M NOT THE ONE WHO MADE THIS UP, YOU MADE THIS UP AND TOLD ME, AND NOW I'M TH

Guts is about to have a real rough time.

found a god-tier panel in a history of hyrule promo zine

16 years ago says da web

“Real Gs move in silence like lasagna.”

It's Hickmania time once again on this week's show! We're specifically reading Fantastic Four #579-582! Join us as the Future Foundation is...founded!

We got the word “desert” when a pro wrestler went to one and saw how much dirt there was there.

Adrenaline / In my veins / Tiny footprints in her brain

Roses are red But all is not bliss

This is my Bash at the Beach ‘96.

Roses are red, And you get the gist,

Roses are red, So let’s have a ball,

If you've ever read Alan Moore's essay WRITING FOR COMICS (1985), there's a bit in it where he talks about scene transitions and page turns and how they're the weakest points of the "magic spell" of comics, as in you can lose the flow and take the reader out of the story with that physical action.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.

How I’m trying to be.

Harry Potter: - stupid - only enjoyed by sad 38 year olds - sucks shit - no one cares Dragon Ball: - awesome - beloved by all - its “the good stuff” - goku is my friend

Shindig is part of the No ICE in Minnesota bundle on itch - Go grab an absolute ton of games and do a little to help our friends standing up against evil.

Imagine not even being able to get the point of the only Frank Miller comic to drift out of the Bermuda Triangle after he disappeared while investigating mysterious shipwrecks in 1993.

A few weeks ago I saw a commercial for like genAI or sports betting or something and it was like “don’t bet against the underdog” and one of the examples they depicted was the Spartans at Thermopylae. And like… my brother in Zeus, they lost. The were the underdogs and they FAMOUSLY lost.

More people should do podcasts about how I, specifically, am a good and hilarious friend imo.

And I said "What about/ Yesterday's Enterprise?" She said "I think I remember the ep/ And if I recall it's the one where there's a new Tasha" And I said "Yeah her kid shows up in Redemption Part 2."

I cannot fucking believe that’s what I get for finding all ONE THOUSAND Korok seeds.

The Erin M. Evans BRIMSTONE ANGELS books are among the most fun fantasy novels I've ever read, regardless of licensing. Two Tiefling twins raised by a gay Dragonborn dad make the absolute worst choices at every possible opportunity: www.humblebundle.com/books/forgot...

“fuck ice” chant at AEW obviously great, we love brodie king, but it feels very retro that ppl are like “wow the right even lost the dumb wrestling hicks!!” when every wrestling fan i know is a gay anarchist who fucking hates the government lmao

On this week's show, Matt and guest host @benitocereno.bsky.social are joined by @jeremywhitley.bsky.social to talk about his double-feature Zoop crowdfunding project for Slay! and The Girlfriend Survives!
