IT LIVES! @pelightning.bsky.social from @spawnography.bsky.social comes to teach us how Turtles plays in an ever changing comic publishing landscape, and what cool things can be obtained at your local library. Promos from @glitterjaw.bsky.social and Byrds Eye View Comics 🎧🔗👇
The news is out and I can finally tell people that I'm joining up with @adultswimcentral.com so let's see what new great things can start happening.
A question for @themonitortapes.com but also the world at large: which edition of the Crisis on Infinite Earths Omnibus should I read? I want to be prepared when I go back on The Monitor Tapes.
IT LIVES! @ryanestrada.com had to finish off the trifecta of comics he's worked on. But did we finally get to talk about a good game? I can't pretend that there's hope. But it's a good conversation. Promos from @novaprimepage.bsky.social and @gabriellabuba.bsky.social 🎧🔗👇
Be still my heart. @oni-press.bsky.social and @2000ad.bsky.social are bringing the heat. Despite the current heat wave this is a good thing.
IT LIVES @suprdee2.com stops by and all of a sudden Garfield is much more real to me than I ever thought possible. For real, who knew that Garfield could pull people out of such dark places? Promos from @gimmickspod.bsky.social and @distantechoespod.bsky.social 🎧🔗👇
IT LIVES! @effectnotaffect.bsky.social returns to the show to talk about Superman Returns since this is the closest thing I can get to a Supergirl tie in without breaking my own timeline. We know the movie is maligned, but what about the tie in game? 🎧🔗👇
I know we won't get this Supergirl in the movie. But I really want to be her friend. Imagine all the cool stuff we could eat! From Supergirl (2025) #2 or 3, I can't remember. @mooncalfe1.bsky.social and @tamrabonvillain.bsky.social were super on point here.
IT LIVES! @cbake.bsky.social twisted my arm to get me to look at a computer only game? That's right, and it gets stranger than I ever imagined. Also he makes me feel old and for that he's a monster. Promos from @gimmickspod.bsky.social and @infiniteearthsguide.com 🎧🔗👇
IT LIVES! @themonitortapes.com let Doug escape and come talk to me about Justice League Chronicles. Does his view from the satellite give him some special insight into this game? How can he see the screen from up there? Promos from @theearth2podcast.bsky.social and @lastcomicshoppodcast.com 🔗👇
IT LIVES! @fearcodedpod.bsky.social tar Merrilee stops by to take a look at something that's not very scary, The Flash. It might be a handheld spinoff of a console game, but we're not rushing through this one. Promos from @gabriellabuba.bsky.social and @themonitortapes.com 🔗👇
IT LIVES! @kaijucomiccast.bsky.social takes a break from giant monsters fighting to instead talk about aliens fighting. And androids. It's complicated, OK? All I know for sure is that there's fighting. Promos from @funandgamespod.bsky.social and @anifieldguide.bsky.social
IT LIVES @anoriand.bsky.social stops by to explore the crazy world of Kinnikuman by diving into Galactic Wrestling Featuring Ultimate Muscle. Promos from Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge (via @glitterjaw.bsky.social) and @sean42az.bsky.social (via @fwpodcasts.bsky.social) 🔗👇
IT LIVES @convoswrob.bsky.social stops by the show to help dig into Lupin III Treasure of the Sorcerer King. Can we manage to sneak into this game and come away with a hidden gem? Promos from @steevenorrelse.bsky.social and Campus Comics Cast 🔗👇
IT LIVES! We all know we'd do a lot for snacks. But would we invade an entire neighborhood and endanger an entire woodland population? @ickybooley.bsky.social stops by to help get all the best flavors. Promos from @carnivalofglee.bsky.social and @distantechoespod.bsky.social 🔗👇
IT LIVES! @effectnotaffect.bsky.social and @xplainthexmen.bsky.social come by to help take a better dive into Uncanny X-Men than I was able to do by myself all those years ago. Will I have a change of heart on this one? Promos from @spawnography.bsky.social and @capesonthecouch.bsky.social 🔗👇
IT LIVES! @awkwardcomma.bsky.social stops by to help make some sense of Bartman Meets Radioactive Man. Will he be able keep his pants dry through all of the excitement? Will @derekbgayle.bsky.social find a way to show up? Promos from @glitterjaw.bsky.social and Gender Pop 🔗👇
Things are going to be crazy over the next couple of weeks so I'm throwing this out a bit early. Next episode features @awkwardcomma.bsky.social from @distantechoespod.bsky.social stopped by to look at Bartman Meets Radioactive Man. Do YOU think this game is a good intro to Simpsons comics?
IT LIVES! @effectnotaffect.bsky.social comes by to help dig into the craziness of Dante's Inferno. Did you know there's a comic adaptation besides Mickey's Inferno? It's pretty good. The game is too. Do they line up? Promos from @kaijucomiccast.bsky.social and @anifieldguide.bsky.social 🔗👇
Do you have thoughts on if the PS3 and Xbox 360 game Dante's Inferno is a good include for a primer course when looking at The Divine Comedy? Let me know and I might (as in I probably will) include in in the show!
IT LIVES! @sarahofmars.bsky.social stops by the show to help shed some light on The Darkness. Will I become some sort of Hell demon? Is there any chance this comic isn't from the 90s? What does Mike Patton have to do with any of this? Promos from @infiniteearthsguide.com and Gender Pop 🔗👇
IT LIVES! My friend Billy returns to the show to help take a look at the Catwoman movie from 2004 and the tie in game that goes with it. If you can even call it a Catwoman movie. Confused? Go watch it, you'll see. Promos from @popculturebasement.bsky.social and @lastcomicshoppodcast.com
Say hello to my little friend @derekbgayle.bsky.social @ickybooley.bsky.social @kaijucomiccast.bsky.social
@sarahofmars.bsky.social LOOK HOW OLD THIS VIDEO IS! I'm going to go fall into a pile of dust now.
Coming tomorrow: @sewart.bsky.social refuses to call me a fake gamer or anything for my inability to play first person shooters. Oh yeah, we also talked about Robotech Invasion. I guess I was burying the lead there.
@derekbgayle.bsky.social & @awkwardcomma.bsky.social do you see what this clanker is asking me?
Does it count as being worried if I've already begrudgingly advertising the fact that we'll become too involved in Venezuela? Because the use of "worry" implies that there's a chance we won't.
