Brock and Nick are geeks, (well, just the same as everyone these days) and as such, they don’t only read the comic books they review every week here, but also consume other geekish media. This week, they take all the pent up geek rage they have towards one of their favorite shows and books and spew it out all over the internet. This is . . . (Nick hears drums as he prepares this) BITCH OF THRONES! In this episode, Brock and Nick delve into every Game of Thrones (HBO series) or A Song of Ice and Fire complaint they’ve... View Article

Time travel a common basis for a sci-fi story. In this week’s comic book podcast, Brock and Nick look at Rocket Girl, a time-traveling teen cop (No. There is no typo there.) lands in the 80’s to stop a mega-corporation and beat up street thugs. Unfortunately, she does not save society from Yahoo Serious while she’s back there. The webcomic review for the week is The Property of Hate. A metal name for a comic about a little girl on an adventure through a dream land. There is some darkness in this still-going work, but it definitely wins in the... View Article

Shotgunning podcasts like two just-21 year-old’s trying to prove their mettle with rotgut booze and a naked run though the complex pond, Nick and Brock try to get some reviews out of their system in this comic book podcast before that uncomfortable roommate meeting. Really though, it’s back to the grind. This week, Brock and Nick go back to the Image well with East of West. It’s a little bit country, it’s a little bit Man in the High Tower, and it’s a little bit (well not little bit) 90’s anti-hero. Is it worth a little bit of cash? Brock... View Article

Episode 54: The Dark Tower

If Marvel’s new Star Wars comics were worth the time, that would be the series to get its own episode of this comic book podcast. Somehow, Stephen King’s series soaked up some serious talent at Marvel and, while Brock and Nick have talked about this series before, 50 or more issues are now available. Has the quality been maintained and, with likely 200+ issues left to go, what can readers expect to see in the future? Kicking it off, though, is George Miller’s new Mad Max movie. The internet exploded over this film in many weird ways. People claiming it’s... View Article

Episode 53: Black Science and Marvel’s Daredevil

Image is still crushing it with independent comics and this week Nick and Brock fail to avoid them yet again with their review of Black Science. Also up for discussion is the new Star Wars trailer, AMC’s Preacher casting news, and the new darkity, dark, dark Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (and Dark) trailer. Sci-Fi comic books a many elements to sell to the reader in a short amount of time: the world, the characters, and some idea where the story is going. If any of these fail in so much as the first issue, the series is going... View Article

Episode 52: iZombie and Andrew Jackson Throws a Punch

There are many unfollowed rules for the CCCP podcast. One of them being that Brock doesn’t want to read undead comics and would prefer to not review them. This rule is broken frequently and much to the delight of Nick, who does not have that strong of an opinion, and also likes to see Brock uncomfortable. However, Brock picked iZombie so he can’t complain that it was reviewed for this comic book podcast. Unfortunately, again, for Nick, Brock picked it because he liked it so there is no particular thrill here. Vertigo presents this different, light take on classic American... View Article
