Issue 115: Ultimatum – The Divisive Issues Series Finale!

Our final Trade of Patreon episodes features mostly single issues of random modern comics that almost made it into our main show. Most of these were also released at the tail end of our Patreon’s lifespan so it’s only appropriate to end with them. We check out some weird holiday comics that were leftover from […]

Trade Collection 5: Modern Comics – Tom King’s Redemption?

This Patreon collection features the episodes where we were too lazy to narrate comic issues. So we instead have talks about movies instead though some of these discussions are more general discussions about super heroes in general. We discuss Man of Steel, the Bleach movie, and more! We also have a fun skit from Darryl […]

Ryan hates it right […]

Trade Collection 3: Heroes in Crisis (as are the Hosts)

For our second Patreon collection, we’re focusing on the Patreon mascot himself: Jimmy Olsen.

Come and listen to our own unique interpretations to his […]
