Star / The Clock Jan 15, 2020

Show notes

Our pal Shan comes for a visit, helping us talk through a sciencey-thriller on Top Cow called The Clock, which takes on world problems both hypothetical and real. But not before we discuss Star #1 from Marvel Comics. A mini-series that stars the breakout character Star, (the titular Star, from the title "Star"...) from Kelley Thompsons current run of Captain Marvel.

And as always, nerdy news, and dorky tangents.

Thor / I Can Sell You a Body Jan 08, 2020

Show notes

We start the year off by getting way deeper into a conversation about Drake then we ever expected, but eventually find our way to discussing the much anticipated Thor #1 on Marvel Comics, penned by Donny Cates, and follow with lighter fare in Ryan Ferrier's new comic about a TV psychic thats hard up for cash, in I Can Sell You a Body #1.
