As I reread CRIMINAL, I really start to think that secretly, this is Image Comics best book and it’s not even close. Granted, I haven’t read them all so what do I know. Anyway, The Last of the Innocents was a gem of a story. #comic

HEY KIDS, COMICS! is back for its 15th birthday with a look at Darwyn Cooke’s adaptations of PARKER. #comicspodcasts podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

HEY KIDS, COMICS! returns looking at Shigeru Mizuki’s, Onwards To Our Noble Deaths podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Took in an early screening of Fantastic Four First Steps and was pleasantly surprised. The cast are all great, they get the characters right, and embrace the nuttiness of the Jack Kirby comics from the ‘60s. Added bonus - you don’t have to do any homework AND they gave me a free badge. RESULT!

12 episodes into Hardcastle & McCormick and the car is in it a lot less than I remember but Brian Keith and Daniel Hugh Kelly are a really good double act. Cannell’s dialogue (or his writing team) is far funnier than people give it credit for.

The sun is blazing so an early start with dog walking, then coffee and comics. Picked this up on a whim as it’s an interesting premise - it’s a comic from within the film! This is really fun and sets up the movie well. It’s also made me more interested in the film.

Proof, if any were needed, that films are are much better than reality, in Heads Of State Idris Elba is the UK Prime Minister & John Cena is the US President. Both are attacked on Air Force One en route to a NATO conference. Far more entertaining than it has any right to be.

Kicked off a mini Danny Boyle season with Shallow Grave, his first film. Gloriously ‘90s nowadays, the 3 leads are all great as the most obnoxious flatmates anyone could ever want. The ending is more satisfying than logical but it was a magnificent calling card.

Apparently there’s a new Superman movie out. If you want a look at where it all began, the comics, non award winning but long running comics podcast, HEY KIDS, COMICS! Now in its 15th year, has you covered. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Despite being a child of the 80s and watching the cartoons and films, I’ve never read a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic. Read The Last Ronin and it’s really good. Comparisons to The Dark Knight are apt but you don’t really need to know a lot about the Turtles to get something out of this.

In a shameless grab at relevance, we look at some Superman comics. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch tell the story of Simon Pure, British redcoat turned immortal in the war of independence. Things get wild when he has to team up with an also immortal Benedict Arnold and a young Albert Einstein, to prevent the destruction of America! Surprisingly fun to read.

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kilmer - @fobpodcasts.bsky.social and I discuss Batman Forever, 30 years later. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Exhibit A why I love 1960s Marvel Comics. “The Origin of Nick Fury’s Eyepatch!” Brilliant!

Batman has already met Deadpool … Sort of.

It's an ALL-NEW, Hey Kids, Comics! discussing DC Comics facsimile editions of its Treasury Line. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/and...

Savage Sword Of Conan from @comicstitan.bsky.social is still one of the best buys on the stands. This month’s issue has 4 stories, one prose story and art pieces. Great stuff.

Stan Lee and John Romita really make the character their own in ASM 51 and 52 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Today’s top TV/Film Tie-In is technically cheating as it was a book before a film but I’m having it. Very different to the Arnie movie, it’s currently being remade by Edgar Wright reportedly more faithfully to the novel. it’s a tense and fast paced read.

Where were you in 2000? Micheal and Andrew were reading ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN. Listen NOW to an all new HEY KIDS. COMICS! as they revisit this now classic series. Listen via Apple or Spotify or direct download creators.spotify.com/pod/show/and... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Lazy morning reading and drinking coffee. This was very entertaining. The only tie in I read was Batman #150 which is easily one of the best Batman stories in a long time.

Post your favourite Doctor Who. Wrong answers only.

Once again filed under, “it’s the little things that make us happy,” I found a copy of Six Million Dollar Man #1 from 1976! Rather simplistic in art and story, it’s still great fun to read and Steve Austin here has some of the abilities he only ever had in the novel, rather than the TV show. #comics

Just dropped for you listening enjoyment. John Romita takes over as Steve Ditko exits. Can the strip ever be the same again? Listen, share, leave a review. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I did not know Peter David wrote a mini series about The Phantom.

New episode podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

The 4th (and final) season of Superman & Lois has dropped on BBC iPlayer and it’s still the best live action version of the characters since Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. The maturity and sensitivity with which the writers handled Lois’ cancer puts other shows of this ilk to shame.

One of the most nihilistic issues of Spider-Man I’ve ever read. But you know what? It’s the first issue of 8 Deaths of Spider-Man I actually liked.

To all things, an ending. One of the best comics podcast sadly comes to an end but it leaves behind a great body of work.

My car looked like Buck Rogers this morning.

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source.

We all have an emotional support dead famous guy and who he is says a lot about you.

Decidedly different Brubaker/Phillips joint but no less effective for all that. Is this the longest sustained creative run of nothing but net for a comics team? It may well be. @seanphillips.bsky.social @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social

That’s a BRAND NEW Amazing Spider-Man From The Beginning live now! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

@jimzub.bsky.social delivers another great issue of Conan. Lovely art by @danicadraws.bsky.social hope they stick around for more. Not to be outdone, @jason-aaron.bsky.social and Geoff Isherwood wrap the first year of Savage Sword with panache. A great time for Conan fans.

As someone not terribly impressed with Star Wars post Lucas, I approached Skeleton Key with some trepidation. Imagine my surprise that not only is it adorable in all the right ways, it’s has lovely nods to the original and a REALLY deep cut for fans of the early Marvel Comics

Just finished (re) reading the new Origins Of Marvel Comics edited by Chris Ryall. It’s a great reprint, especially the hardcover with additional text pieces, interviews and art. Worth it, even if you have the 70s original for all the extra stuff.

The HEY KIDS, COMICS, Annual is here! Micheal and I wax lyrical about the comics related gifts we received this year along with the usual nonsense. Happy new year podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Released 47 years ago today, or thereabouts, the first film I ever saw in a cinema. SUPERMAN. There have been a ton of these superhero movies since 1978, some good, some bad, but only Reeve made me believe. He still does.
