We recorded this yesterday but forgot to post, whoops! Podcast Notes to follow along/for more info:
For the weekly Tarot Lessons, our Card of the Week 00:02:33 is #16 of the Major Arcana: The Tower. I'm talking history, meaning and symbolism, and connections to comics through the characters Hellcat, Nimrod, the Joker, and more. As this is a longer segment, the timestamps for each section are: starting with History (including the connection to Marvel's Nimrod); Appearance/Description 11:09; Interpretation/Meaning 12:29; Pop Culture 15:27 (including Marvel, DC, Anime, and Fantasy references); ending with a brief summary. There's a bit of MANGA 25:13 that I've followed this week, then COMIC BOOKS 27:16 starts with minor news, including the dark story explanation for Spider-Man: Reign, getting a sequel that nobody wanted later this year. Recent Comic Reads and Events 00:33:07 covers fun indie titles like Swan Songs (that Wijngaard art!), The Madness, and Vampirella/Dracula: Rage #1, plus the current Big Two events, Knight Terrors at DC and Fall of X at Marvel. TV/Movies/Anime has minor news at the front 44:13 with Adam joining us again to talk the new Destiny 2 Zavala casting! Don't miss Ahsoka on the 23rd, we'll discuss it on the subsequent podcast! Finally, he and I discuss the finale of Strange New Worlds 00:46:43, including a lot of talk on the Gorn species. We end with the 5th episode of Harley Quinn season 4, where both character arcs of the leading ladies ties us back to the message of Tarot's the Tower card. Whabam! Join us again next week for more Harley Quinn, prep for he Ahsoka episode, a TON more comics and manga chat, and tarot's The Star! Stay Hydrated and Sweaty, nerds.

The catching up starts with an unfortunate loss, the obituary of THE John Romita Sr. (0:05:03). A legend across publishers, eras, characters, and influences, his career was one that will always remain vastly important to the history of comic book publishing.
In our episodic Tarot Studies (00:11:15), we discuss the history, symbolism, interpretation, and pop culture references of the 11th card of the Major Arcana, Justice! Coinciding comic characters: Magik and Valkyrie. Instead of a Manga of the week this go-round (00:23:49), I decided this June for Pride Month, I'd do a Pride Month Highlight on Great Queer Manga: highlighting the diversity of characters, topics, and settings of LGBTQ+-based manga! I've compiled a list of 7 beloved queer manga (plus a few favorites of our own!) to briefly describe and, I hope, catch your interest. Moving forward into my bit on Comic Books (00:34:57), I have a LOT of comics from May/June to cover, which I've finally caught up on! This includes the finale to Thompson's Captain Marvel series, the premier of Tom King's coming Wonder Woman, Hickman's return to Marvel with ultimate Invasion, and much, much more! As for what's new Next week (6/28) (00:52:43 ), we have some great variant covers to mention and celebrate. Comic Book News (00:55:51) includes Kelly Thompson's Birds of Prey, Rafael Grampa's Gargoyle of Gotham, Hickman's utter glory, and Alyssa Wong's October Captain Marvel! Lots to talk about, and even more to come. Which brings us right into the parts for TV and Movies (01:12:08), starting with some brief notes on what I've been watching lately: HMU about that FROM finale, PLEASE. Announcements/Rumors; Trailers; and Anime News (01:14:52) are gone through pretty quickly, so see the podnotes for the links to details and elaboration! Finally, CURRENT TV: (01:32:27) Starting with Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episodes 1 AND 2, then going into Secret Invasion's episode 1 premier! So much fun, for so many reasons. And are you, as well, looking forward to the SNW/Lower Decks crossover? I'm ready. And that's it this week. I'll be back as soon as I am able, odd are with Adam included! We'll talk more Trek, more Marvel, more Manga and Anime, and as always, more Comics. Keep is sweaty, nerds.

As usual we kick it off this week with the News (0:04:38), which includes Echo (Disney+)Show updates, a new Punchline (DC) comics series, the RWBY/Justice League animated movie, leaks for both Loki Season 2 and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a director for the fourth Captain America movie, and some light news on what to expect at San Diego Comic Con 2022--which we'll preface more in-depth on the next episode! Last week's Comic Book Picks (0:21:22) was actually super DC-Heavy, for once, with no Marvel comics on my list at all! My picks of the week would be Astronaut Down #2 (Aftershock), Liam Sharp's Starhenge #1 (Image), and Poison Ivy #2 (DC); I continue to adore Pamela Isley, and refuse to see her as the bad guy. The two indies of that trio are wildly creative, and I honestly can't recommend them enough. We're in what I don't hesitate to call a Golden Era of Indie(ish) Comics! This week's Comic Book Pulls (0:36:04), in reverse, is absent of DC for my list, but includes some seriously heavy duty, amazing variant covers coming from Marvel--be sure to check out all the available covers of this week's New Mutants, A.X.E.: Eve of Judgment, X-Men: Hellfire Gala, Captain Marvel, and Immortal X-Men. Some of my favorite comic artists are included among those stunners, plus one truly awesome homage variant! And that's not even to mention the many incredible indie/creator owned comics premiering and continuing this week, as well. Remember what I just said about a Golden Age of Indies? Mhmm. Getting into other media, coverage of Ms Marvel (Disney+)episode 5 (0:49:07), titled Time and Again, includes theories about the finale, carefully hopeful expectations, and of course, all the comic book references from the penultimate episode. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode 10 (0:58:43), titled A Quality of Mercy, was a fantastic finale for the show's first season, giving us time travel, life lessons, Original Series references, and a cocky young James Tiberius Kirk! I don't know when season 2 arrives, but I am SO ready! Finally, of course I'm including my Thor: Love and Thunder Spoiler Free Review (1:11:05) in this episode, but be warned, because it's quite short, and immediately followed by the Spoiler Review! I had a lot of fun making this one, because it includes comic book references, Norse mythology, Easter eggs, connections to the greater MCU, the music, the end credits scenes explained, and theorizing for the future of the characters! As promised, the Love and Thunder basic plot overview: https://www.ign.com/articles/thor-love-thunder-ending-explained-post-credits-scene The Collider article on the movie's music: https://collider.com/thor-love-and-thunder-guns-n-roses-influence/ Make sure you're back next week for coverage on the Ms Marvel finale, the new comic book picks and pulls for the week, a Hellfire Gala wrap-up for Marvel, pre-SDCC (July 21-24), and maybe even October's big-two comic book solicitation! Till then, stay hydrated, do some light stretches in the morning, and support your local comic shops!

I feel like that 's a big enough landmark to celebrate, yes?
This week's news starts at 02:30, covering the trailer releases of the week, coming release dates, rumors, and more. The last week's comic book picks are at 11:40, along with a number of issues I only just now am getting around to reading. Highlights include Public Domain #1 and 8 Billion Genies #2! Then this week's comic book pulls are at 27:16, including Ms Marvel episode 4 breakdown at 31:02 covering the events and reveals of the episode, titled Seeing Red, plus my best theories on what might be coming next! ST SNW Ep. 9 0:42:06, titled All Those Who Wander, the penultimate episode of this first season, which was full of terror, emotion, and tragedy.

Don't go out and get hot in the sun, stay in and get sweaty with the Yancy Street Podcast! (was that too much?) ;)
This week does start with another tribute to another lost legend in the comics industry, Tim Sale (0:04:46). His legacy covers decades of comics and some of the eras' most significant material, to say the least. This tribute includes statements from his fellow creators, honoring his long-lived career. As for the rest of the news (0:14:47), the general topics include Spy Kids, Madame Web, and Comic Con 2022! The previous week's comic book Picks (0:22:24) include Immortal X-Men #3 as Pick of the Week, plus a number of fun others! This week's comic book Pulls (0:29:58) have a bunch of #1's and one-shots, again; all a ton to look forward to reading! Starting the other media, I cover the Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale (38:52), or episode 6, by going through the various characters and where they all end up: Reva, the Twins, Vader V Kenobi, That Ending, and, of course, What Comes Next! Then it's on to Ms Marvel episode 3 (47:53), titled Destined. I cover the events of the episode including all the big reveals, how they connect to the comics, and what that might mean for not just the rest of the show, but the future the Marvels movie! Finally, I do a Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Catch-Up (1:03:08), covering episodes 6-8, titled Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach, The Serene Squall, and The Elysian Kingdom, respectively. All three episodes have something in common-- Classic Trek themes that made the show a success to begin with, and keep fans like me coming back! This being the last week of June, expect the June Yancy Street Podcast to come out within the next week: The Patsy Podcast! AKA the Patsy Walker/Hellcat Story! Unless you're Christopher Cantwell (her current, IMO excellent writer), there's probably something in it you didn't know about her character, because she's one of Marvel's oldest! In addition, I'll be posting about the September Marvel and DC comic book solicitations....which might end up being a blog post, in which case it will be linked here when posted: (future link!) Other than that, you'll find me next back with regular weekly episode 70 this coming Monday, July 4th! In the meantime, Hydrate, Hippies, and enjoy your nerdy passions as Summer starts to peak.

This was recorded on Monday afternoon, per usual, and then I promptly forgot about actually posting it, and now it's Tuesday...whoops! Anyway--
Starting up with the NEWS 0:07:24, with just a chunk of shorter items, including a few updates and first looks on upcoming projects! Also, I recently watched The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and I genuinely don't think I've laughed that hard in a movie in a long time. 10/10. This past week's comic book PICKS 0:14:36, including highlights of Strange #3, the latest Captain Marvel, Road to Dark Crisis, Marvel's Voices: Identity, and more! This week's comic book PULLS 0:26:05 have a surprising amount from DC Comics, and a ton of #1's and one-shots!

Young Justice season 4 episode 25 0:53:56, the actual penultimate episode before this Thursday's finale! This one was titled, Over and Out! Strange New Worlds episode 5 0:57:03 titled Spock Amok; a fun episode with great looks at characters and some really fantastic throwbacks, which I, of course, go over plentily. And finally, Ms Marvel Show Prep! Starting at 1:06:11, we're going over the Disney+ "fan guide" information, what to know beforehand, what we already know about the plot details, plus cast and characters, potential villains, and to further excite you about Kamala's premier, some great coverage on what we know of the Captain Marvel sequel--the Marvels! Coming from twitter user @houseofphoton, linked below! The next episode will be 67, coming Monday the 13th of June! We'll be talking the usual comic book picks and pulls along with the news, the new Kenobi and Strange New Worlds episodes, the Young Justice finale, and, of course, the Ms Marvel premier!

The comic book pulls are at 44:34, with my favorites being Captain Marvel and Strange! At last, OBI-WAN KENOBI episodes 1 and 2 begin discussion at 0:49:05, including sections on General thoughts, that killer (sorry for the pun) opening, Ben's life 10 years down the line, the Inquisitors (all 4 of them!), the kids (iykyk, and if you're online, yk), the planet Daiyu, the Big Reveal, and a few notes on my favorite Star Wars character, Padme Amidala. Then, we still go over Young Justice season 4 episode 24 at 1:17:37, which is NOT the season finale, titled Zenith and Abyss. The Finale will come with episode 26 in a little over a week, now! We're also talking Star Trek: Strange New Worlds at 1:24:30. It's based in episode 4, but I go over all the main characters as they've been developed so far, some hit moments already, and a few fun facts. Finally, we end with DC comics August 2022 solicitations at 1:32:30, talking everything relevant to expect from the publisher that month, I've broken it up into a couple sections to make navigation easier: Anna's Highlights, New This Month 1:38:16, Batman Misc 1:44:03, Dark Crisis: 1:46:48, and General Continuing at 1:48:06.
