Ep.13B: NCBD Oracle, Black Cat, Karmen, &More! + World War She-Hulk and Black Lightning Season 4!4/20/2021 Happy Friday everyone! This week's B episode starts with the regular New Comic Book Day Picks, covering what I loved best from this week's comic book releases. This week's picks include Batman and Oracle stories, Daredevil, Iron Man, Karmen, Home Sick Pilots, Black Cat, and Children of the Atom!
The comics chat is followed by a discussion of Black Lightning Season 4, all the way up to the most recent episode, ep.7, "Painkiller." Then there are announcements about what's coming up in comics later this year, including an unexpected Batman/Catwoman annual and the new World War She-Hulk event for the Avengers series! There's a lot to unpack with the latter announcement, including my own personal connection with the character of Jennifer Walters. Finally, the episode wraps up with some brief DCEU casting news. I'll be back Monday, April 19th for an all-new podcast episode covering next week comics pull list, Falcon and the Winter Soldier ep. 5, and any news or updates that break between now and then! It's a great time to be a nerd, so be kind and sweat it out!

Greetings one and all! This Friday episode starts by covering New Comic Book Day! Significant reads for me think week were America Chavez: Made in the USA #2, the announcement of the new Phoenix in Avengers #44, the continual excellence in Far Sector #11, the wild delight of Sonjaversal #3, my first steps into the universe of Magic: the Gathering with its new #1, a new favorite Wonder Woman story in Sensational Wonder Woman #2, and more!
Then I address some heavy hitting rumors that spread this week, including Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 with Tobey Maguire and the animated 90's Spider-Man appearing in Into the Spider-Verse 2. Neither rumor has sources, but one has a lot more room to stand on, and I discuss what that might mean. I've been binge-watching Black Lightning on Netflix, and have finally seen all the episodes available there! I go over the post-season 3 status-quo, and where I hope to see things go as I start season 4. Finally, today had a long-awaited announcement for the upcoming Avengers Campus at Disney's California Adventure! Disney Parks Blog posted a first look at what to expect from the new Land, and being the Disney kid I was raised to be, I talk all about what the article teases, as well as some insights to how Disney usually handles these Lands versus what we'll be seeing, due to the limited opening at the parks starting later this month. \I'll be back Monday, April 12th to discuss the new comic week pull list, Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep. 4, and more comic book and comic industry news! Have a sweaty weekend!
Happy Monday, folks! This week's "A" episode starts off with Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 discussion, including Isiah Bradley, the Flag Smashers, John Walker, and Zemo!
As I mentioned in the last episode, I owe it to myself/the universe to watch Black Lightning, especially since I'm watching Superman and Lois. I'm almost done with season 1, so I give some background on the comic versions of the characters and discuss the show as a whole so far. And so far, it's just as good as Superman and Lois, at least! After reacting to the Suicide Squad trailer from James Gunn last Friday, today I go through each team member for a quick who's-who of cast and characters, then this week's comic book Pull List is joined by Spotlights on Representation of characters of color, LQBTQ+ themes, and women in comics, before heading back into news! Some MCU concept art leaked last week, so I felt it was worth mentioning, as well as the recent MODOK show casting news and today's Obi-Wan Kenobi cast announcement! Finally, Comic Con San Diego is making some questionable decisions for fall 2021, but at least the DCEU and MCU lineups for 2022 look unbelievable! No, really. I do expect a few films to get pushed into 2023. Still, it does remain an amazing time to be a nerd. I'll be back this Friday, April 2nd, to discuss the best and most noteworthy moments of this week's comic books, as well as whatever industry news might break between now and then! In the meantime, be good to your fellow man, and stay sweaty! |
