Episode 20: Atomic Robo and The Star Wars

Annikin, you’re breaking my heart. Also, robots. We took another break from the comic book podcast because Brock didn’t want to be bothered to talk about the important things in life, such as comics, while on his honeymoon. He even sabotaged his own iPad while in Scotland so he couldn’t do the required reading while returning to the États-Unis. Completely out of excuses, we’re back with Atomic Robo from Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener! Evidently, Nikola Tesla made robots in his free time. Busy man. We have the feeling that if we scoured the Internet, we’d find slash fiction out... View Article

Episode 19: The Maxx and Wasteland

Serial rapist villains and Armageddon. Not necessarily in that order. We’re revving up the DeLorean and revisiting our former beflanneled selves for this week’s comic book podcast… Time to do a surgical strike at a 90’s Image comic and try not to let our 90’s angsty selves hitch a ride back or have any Gen13 masturbation flashbacks. With our radiation suits on, we flip through The Maxx. The cover looks super hero, but there is a reason we’re here and it ain’t for the capes & tights. Brock also gets to get his post-apocalyptic on with Oni Press’ long-running series,... View Article

Episode 18: The Activity and Cancertown

Counter Culture Comic Podcast Episode 18

Special forces, delta teams, cloak and dagger, and… Cancer. The Activity: it sounds like a euphemism the Amish might use for sex. While talking about that activity would probably stretch the bounds of our relationship, it’s good for us that in this case it refers to Image’s special forces and cloak and dagger comic. It might be the first non-supernatural comic we’ve read that doesn’t involve mice, Nazi cats, or narcissistic hitmen. We round out the comic book podcast by looking at Cancertown. Despite a bit of a mix-up that involved one of us accidentally looking at the first issue of... View Article

Episode 17: Kamandi and Steed & Mrs Peel

Sometimes, the greats aren’t all that great. It’s time warp time at CCCP. In this week’s comic book podcast, we’re digging into comic book history with a non-super hero book called Kamandi created by one of the greats, Jack Kirby. Is everything Kirby created good or is this Planet of the Knockoffs? When we get back to the future, we hop right back into Grant Morrison and Ian Gibson’s time machine with Steed & Mrs. Peele, Brock and I both love these characters from the 1960’s TV show The Avengers but do they transfer to print? Oh, and yes. We... View Article

Episode 16: Kick-Ass 2 and The Sixth Gun

A Bit Too Much of the Ultra-Violence It was a dark and stormy… it was a dark and violent comic. It was a dark and pandering comic book podcast by two whores who had to talk about a comic that just saw a film adaptation recently release. Those whores are probably us, and that movie was definitely Kick-Ass 2. A not-so-super hero comic from Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr with those crazy kids getting into more wacky adventures in NYC and girl that Charlton Heston would have given a nut to have as a daughter. With a swing our... View Article

Episode 15: The Goon and The Killer

A thematic episode with a subliminal message about David Fincher In this week’s comic book podcast, we’re back to the normal routine with no more weddings planned. Game faces are back on and we’re tackling The Goon. Eric Powell’s decade-spanning series that chronicles the the exploits of, well, The Goon and just a complete mess of characters that address the hard hitting issues of the day, such as zombie priests, talking zombies, mad metal scientists and their 50’s robots, undead eating the dead, and just trying to earn an honest living by beating people up for protection money. We go... View Article
