Comics friends! Please look at what @trungles.com and a bunch of other comics people are doing and join in! #IceOutComics

Next time (Jan. 21), we revisit Scott McCloud's delightful 'Zot!', specifically the acclaimed, bittersweet "Earth Stories" from 1989-1991! See the sunny, heroic Zachary T. Paleozogt stranded on messy, complicated Earth and become a supporting character in his own book!

"Would that it were so simple."

'Do it?' Dot, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.

This time, for our Best of 2025 episode, we discuss the unique mythic action-adventure DROME by Jesse Lonergan! And we're joined by a guest -- writer and actor Michael Owl of The Origin Story Podcast! soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

We named DROME by @jesselonergan.bsky.social, and published by @23rdstbooks.bsky.social, the Best Original Graphic Novel of 2025. Listen to #TheStampies (Part Two) to hear our other faves from the year: cbccpodcast.podbean.com/e/the-stampi...

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

One of my resolutions for 2026: More manga.

Our best comics of 2025 list has dropped. As we do things a bit differently, we reached out to the indie comics community and asked the Yeti Discord what their favorites were. Who made the list? Read on and find your next favorite thing. www.comicbookyeti.com/post/comic-b...

Funny that I should see this on the day of the last print edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

It's New Year's Eve, and next time (Jan 7) we present our 'Best of 2025' episode on DROME by Jesse Lonergan! See you in 2026!

The what of the who now?

And Tiny Tim, who did not die, became the first successful candidate of the Weapon X program.

On the last episode of 2025, The Comics Canon celebrates the season with a Quiz Exchange as Curt and Kevin challenge each other with comics-themed trivia questions! Happy holidays and have an Uncanny Xmas! soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

My least-favorite song by The Pogues:

in this house we cherish the holiday classics 🎄

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (1975)

Next time (12/24), we're taking a holiday break from our regular episode format, but will celebrate the season with a fun little treat! But what could it be?

I was driving to work at 7 this morning, having heard the horrible Rob Reiner news, and was listening to playlist of comedy songs. 'The Humming Song" by the late Martin Mull came up--which features a cameo by Reiner (in "Marty DiBergi" mode)! He was ubiquitous. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRSA...

It never occurred to me that Mysterio looks like a Christmas tree ornament.

“Why are kids getting into comics” I dunno, dude why are fish getting into swimming, why are birds getting into singing, why are clouds getting into raining, why are plants getting into photosynthesis www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is one of my favorites for the implication that, when the man isn't looking, the cow is milking herself INTO A GLASS and then sipping it surreptitiously.

"New guy, huh? Well, up here you work the edge, and the edge is a fickle hellcat. Love her, but never trust her, for her heart is full of LYE!"

This one and the Booster Gold episode of "Justice League Unlimited" are both uproariously funny.

"Now we have machine guns. Ho ho ho."

On our last full episode of 2025, the Comics Canon gets an exclusive invite to the event of the decade, The Hellfire Gala from X-Men's Krakoa era! Who's the best dressed? Who gets the best makeover? (Spoiler: the answer to that last question just might be a planet.) soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

The whole thread is great, but this is my favorite.

Next time (12/10), our X-Men miniseries reaches the 2020s as the Krakoan nation makes its bow on the world stage with "The Hellfire Gala!" The question "Who are you wearing?" becomes even more pertinent at a fashion-forward event full of telepaths and shapeshifters!

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary: His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Dammit, my favorite playwright died.

The 2025 Atlanta Film Critics Circle Awards will be announced on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. #AFCC #ForTheLoveOfMovies #AFCCAwards #Superman @Superman @warnerbrospictures.bsky.social

The latest episode in our "All My Xs" miniseries covers two landmark stories as we visit 1992 for Northstar's coming out as Marvel's first gay superhero in Alpha Flight 106! Then we jump to 2012 for Northstar's highly-publicized wedding in Astonishing X-Men 51! soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.

Daily Bugle Headline: "Spider-Man Steals Miss Piggy's Catch-Phrase!"

Next time (11/26), you are cordially invited to the historic wedding of Northstar and Kyle Jinadu in 'Astonishing X-Men #51' from 2012. Spoiler: Hank "Beast" McCoy is the "something blue."

Trying to think of a funny caption for this about recording the podcast with Kevin.

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

This week on The Comics Canon, we say hello to Canada's greatest superhero team Alpha Flight with their debut in 1979's 'Uncanny X-Men 120-121' and their eponymous first issue from 1983! Meet the team that puts the "Sasquatch" in, uh, "Saskatchewan." soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

Our "All My Xs" miniseries has reminded us of Dave Cockrum's importance to X-Men.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Next time (Nov. 12), our 'All My Xs" miniseries takes a northern detour to formally meet Alpha Flight in 1979's 'X-Men #120-121,' and then sees the Canadian super-team get their own title in 1983's 'Alpha Flight #1!' Which one of these heroes would make comic book history a few decades later?
