TRADETalks: New X-Men Vol. 1 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely Jul 31, 2022

About the book: Sixteen million mutants dead - and that was just the beginning! In one bold stroke, writer Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, Batman) propelled the X-Men into the 21st century, masterminding a challenging new direction for Marvel's mutant heroes that began with the destruction of Genosha and never let up. Regarded as the most innovative thinker of the current comic-book renaissance, Morrison proceeded to turn the mutant-hero genre on its ear. Gone were the gaudy spandex costumes - replaced by slick, black leather and an attitude to match. Now, his entire Eisner Award-nominated run on New X-Men is collected across three titanic trade paperbacks! Collects New X-Men #114-126, and Annual 2001.

Gary Oldman, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, James Gandolfini, Brad Pitt and Val Kilmner.

393. TRADETalks: The Old Geezers, Vol. 1 Oct 27, 2021

The Boys discuss their TRADETalks selection, The Old Geezers, Vol. 1

Three old geezers, activists, and lifelong friends reunite at the funeral of the wife of one of them, Antoine, who finds out about a long ago liaison between his dearly departed and the reviled billionaire who owns the factory they all worked in. Livid, Antoine jumps in his car and heads for Italy with revenge on his mind, his two buddies and his pregnant granddaughter following close behind. A chance to reminisce about the past, to fantasize about sticking it to the man, to discuss what's wrong with the world, to bridge the generation gap, to forgive and forget and settle scores.

Boone Dias is an interdimensional explorer, a scientist from Earth who has stumbled into great responsibility.

The Boys talks about National Lampoon, Titans United #1 from DC Comics, Primordial #1 from Image Comics, and..oh, let's be honest who knows. These jokers never stay on target any way so no matter what I type here it really won't matter because they are going to go down some path of ridiculousness that probably has nothing to do with anything anyway.

385. TRADETalks: We Only Find Them When They're Dead, Vol. 1 Sep 01, 2021

The Boys discuss the first volume of the sci-fi / adventure series ‘WE ONLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY’RE DEAD’ by Al Ewing and Simone Di Meo. Life, death, revenge, guilt, absolution, and the meaning of existence are layered in to this intriguing story of space miners and the dead gods they survive off of.

Sal also picks the next TRADETalks selection - Ether Vol. 1 by Matt Kindt and David Rubin.

About the book: Captain Malik and the crew of the Vihaan II harvest resources from the giant corpses of alien gods found on the edge of human space. While other autopsy ships race to salvage the meat, minerals, and metals that sustain the human race, Malik sees an opportunity to finally break free from this system by being the first to find a living god. But Malik’s obsession with the gods will push his crew into danger at the darkest reaches of space—unless the rogue agent on their trail can stop them first…

Origin Story: Tim Seeley Aug 20, 2021
Send us a text

Every hero has an Origin Story. Join Brion Salazar as he talks with some of the biggest names in comic books today to discuss their secret history of becoming industry superstars.

One of the most prolific creators in comics, Tim Seeley has written and drawn comic books professionally for 30 years. The creator of Hack/Slash, Revival, Money Shot, and Dark Red and the writer of Nightwing, Grayson, Suicide Squad: King Shark, and the upcoming Superman vs. Lobo sits down to discuss his early career and how he developed his first script for LoveBunny and Mr. Hell.

Growing up in rural Wisconsin in the 80's Tim was immediately attracted to comic book art by the pages of Amazing Spider-Man. His passion for drawing and painting led him to pursue a career as a comic book artist. While in college events unfolded that steered his path towards cartooning, and eventually led to a internship at Marvel Comics. A collaboration with another writer helped him develop his first original story ideas and set him down the path of writer and artist.

I had a great time talking to Tim and hope you enjoy this conversation about his path to authorship in the very first episode of ORIGIN STORIES.

Book Synopsis: Hal Jordan yearns for the thrill of discovery, but the days when astronaut and adventure were synonymous are long gone. His gig prospecting asteroids for Ferris Galactic is less than fulfilling--but at least he's not on Earth, where technology and culture have stagnated.

When Jordan finds a powerful ring, he also finds a destiny to live up to. There are worlds beyond his own, unlike anything he ever imagined. But revelation comes with a price: the Green Lantern Corps has fallen, wiped out by ruthless killing machines known as Manhunters. The odds against reinstating the Corps are nearly impossible... but doing the impossible is exactly what Hal Jordan was trained to do!
