Next time (May 13), classical mythology fuses with cutting-edge comic book artwork in Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Jimenez's visionary 'Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons Part 1," featuring Hera, the Greek pantheon and some Amazonian origins! (We'll do Parts 2-3 on the episode after!)

I literally cannot hear the song from Kansas without thinking about this.

I have strong feelings that this is the best film ever made about The South.

Where will you be spending your Free Comic Book Day?

We recorded our new "Punisher Origins" episode before the untimely death of Gerry Conway, who wrote the notorious antihero's debut in 'Amazing Spider-Man' and his black-and-white origin in 'Marvel Preview.' We discuss those plus his appearance in Daredevil 183-184! soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

Gerry Conway, RIP

Heir to the comic book/fabric fastener fortune, no doubt.

Earlier today I had an idea for a horse escape artist named Gluedini.

Next time (4/29), we look death square in the, uh, chest with some famous firsts of The Punisher! They include his 1974 debut in 'Amazing Spider-Man' #129, his black-and-white origin in 'Marvel Premiere' #2 and his 1982 introduction to Matt Murdock in 'Daredevil' #183-184!

You know, it's like how real lions spray gas from their eyes, in the wild.

An @evandorkin.bsky.social classic:

On the new "ape-isode" of The Comics Canon, we swing back to that bygone era when gorillas roamed the covers of DC Comics! Our "DC Superheroes vs Super-Gorillas" episode features The Gorilla Boss of Gotham! Titano! Grodd! And Monsieur Mallah! (1/2) soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

Repost if your account is a safe space for the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️

It's your pervy neighborhood Spider-Man!

For when you prefer a bold, full-bodied Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Coming up on 4/15 we discuss four Silver Age ape-themed stories! Batman #75: “The Gorilla Boss of Gotham City” Superman #127: “Titano, The Super-Ape” The Flash #107: “Menace of the Super-Gorilla” Doom Patrol #86: “The Brotherhood of Evil”

"I am the X-Man / They are the X-Men / I am the Phoenix / Goo goo g'joob"

Next time (4/15) the podcast puts the "ape" in "April" by revisiting the era when DC Comics loved putting primates on their covers! It's DC Superheroes vs. Super-Gorillas, featuring the likes of Grodd, Monsieur Mallah and Titano -- who might not even BE a gorilla!

The vibes RN

Shaun Tan is the best.

There's a piece of classical music that was used all the time in animation, such as the Daffy Duck/Donald Duck scene in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." In the time before the Internet, it took me years to figure out that it's Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody." www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1nX...

I love how Weapon Alpha teleports away with a green "Pop!" sound effect like the Impossible Man. Kind of undermines the seriousness of the situation.

"Jean, have you ever tried NOT being the avatar of an immortal, indestructible manifestation of the prime universal force of life?"

Speaking of crossovers, on the latest episode of 'Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics,' Kevin and Jamie discuss Batman/Hellboy/Starman from 1999! The Caped Crusader meets the Red Hand of Doom, and Starman is also there! screwitcomics.libsyn.com/hellsops-bat...

One of our very favorite podcasts of all time! Curt and Bryan have always had a good time guesting on their show, and Robb was good enough to join us for this week's Checklist!

We're big fans of those guys at Marvel by the Month!

This time on The Comics Canon, Robb and Kevin discuss one of the great superhero crossover events, "The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans!" Is this more a Marvel X-Men story or a DC Teen Titans story? And which publisher flexes on the other? soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

guys I am SO GOOD at the Just One Beer, Thanks phase of my life

Next Wednesday the podcast revisits one of the most popular company crossovers in superhero comics, 1982's 'The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans' by Chris Claremont and Walt Simonson! It's a clash of the intellectual property!

I had seen all of "Homicide: Life on the Street" (the brilliant, Baltimore-based detective show based on David Simon's book) before the debut of "The Wire," and seeing "The Wire" without knowing "H:LOTS" seems like it would be much more challenging.

There is a virtual No Kings march/rally on Saturday, for those of us unable to attend in person! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Joss Whedon during production of 'Age of Ultron':

Stonehenge? Where demons dwell?

I love the "boxing kangaroo" cliche.

You know, you guys referred to Queen's "We Are the Champions" and then the cancellation of The Champions almost concurrently, and a "They Were The Champions" musical joke was just sitting there.

Spidey Unlimited Infinity Comic #35 is out now on Marvel Unlimited! Written by me, art by @jasonmuhr.bsky.social, colors by Chris Sotomayor, letters by Clayton Cowles, edited by MR Daniel & Ellie Pyle. share.marvel.com/sharing/issu... Plz enjoy one of my fav panels I've had the pleasure to write:

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We celebrate The Wearing of the Green (Power Rings) with an episode of Green Lantern Origins, featuring the debuts of Alan Scott (1941) and Hal Jordan (1959) plus two classic Alan Moore Green Lantern Corps stories (1980s)! soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

Update: Wendi McLendon-Covey says she wasn't there because she had a neck-lift.

"Flash enters the speed force" wins!

They left Wendi McLendon-Covey out of the 'Bridesmaids' reunion? Rude! #Oscars

My kid literally just said "There was another Jurassic Park movie this year?" #Oscars

What happens when the internet goes down...

Superman: "Any objections?" Martian Manhunter: "But I'm vulnerable to fire!" Superman: "Motion carries."
