Nick HemsingWe’re back (again)! Nick and Brock talk about the comic book O Human Star by Blue Delliquanti, ramble about their dislike of Iron Fist, and praise James Gunn’s latest superhero blockbuster, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.
Nick HemsingSomewhere within this comic book podcast episode is a conversation about Paper Girls from Brian K. Vaughan and another look at Scurry from Mac Smith. Yes, honestly, there is. That talk is buried somewhere between pizza and root beer floats. Paper Girls is written by Brian K. Vaughan of Saga fame. Saga has certainly been one of the favorite comics for many indie comics lovers. There aren’t any talking TV people, but this book is certainly not short on some outlandish characters. Nick and Brock took a look at Scurry back in episode and Mac Smith has continued his impressive... View Article
Nick HemsingSo Brock and Nick took a slight break but they are back! Ok, maybe not quite so slight. Somehow after this the long break from the comic book podcast, Brock decided to have them review The Flintstones.

Nick HemsingThe time has come. Brock and Nick have put off this book for long enough and it’s time for them to talk about it. Preacher. This podcast does not exist without Preacher, unless Brock found another co-host that likes comics and happened to name it the same thing, but Preacher is what got Nick into comics.
