Joshua Williamson's Flash Volume 13 to Volume 15
Apologies for the delayed release. Baby Dpalm came a bit early and so we’ve been on a little hiatus Thankfully we recorded the final episode in our Flash series earlier in the month. So without further ado, the finale of the Joshua Williamson run. We end this run as any good Flash run should with…

Joshua Williamson’s Flash Volumes Year One & Volume 12
We know last episodes we covered Year One but we decided to revisit that volume as well as volume 12 of the Williamson run of The Flash. Year One was worth a revisit because it not only reestablishes some of the lost history of Barry Allen but also starts off a new one as well (Barry meeting not...
-
Joshua Williamson’s Flash Volumes 10, 11 & Year One
We delayed the release of this episode until Kriss was out of town. We also timed it right around the time the Flash review dropped. Enjoy. Post Flash War, Barry turns back into a student and has to go through a bit of a re-education phase. This fits right in with the Joshua Williamson theme of...

Joshua Williamson's Flash Volumes 7 - 9 - Character Corner #111
We’re back with more of Joshua Williamson’s Flash run. This time we’re talking volumes 7 to 9 (issues 39 to 57). Williamson’s run really feels like a great jumping on point for the Flash. Since it’s during Rebirth, it gives us a great reintroduction of not only Barry Allen and Eobard Thawne but...
-
Joshua Williamson's Flash Volumes 4 to 6 - Character Corner #110
We promised 2 episodes in March and we’re squeezing it right in there at the 11th hour. But we’re back for the next set of issues from the Joshua Williamson Flash run. We first stop over at Batman and pick up with The Button which takes us closer to understanding the forces behind all the lost…

Joshua Williamson's Flash Volumes 1 - 3 - Character Corner #109
We finally get back into recording Character Corners and it still takes me 2 weeks to release the episode. Smh. Sorry for the delay folks but we’re finally hitting the Joshua Williamson run of The Flash. We consider this the reintroduction of Barry Allen. Sure in 2009 Geoff Johns did a “rebirth”…

She-Hulk Attorney at Law - Character Corner #108
Now that the first season of the She-Hulk series on Disney+ is over, now is a great time to talk about She-Hulks comic book history. The timing has nothing to do with the fact that Kriss is late on releasing this episode because work has completely swamped him. Nope, this timing is completely...
-
Dick Grayson/Nightwing
Kriss and Dpalm are back and this time we’re revisiting a character we’ve spent some time talking about before: Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. We’ve covered Dick before in our previous Robin Part 1 Character Corner that covered Dick Grayson’s years as the first Robin along with Jason Todd. This...
-
SDCC 2022 Announcements & Trailers
Life has gotten really busy for Kriss and Dpalm so the regular Character Corner schedule has been a bit hectic these last few months. But thankfully Marvel has swooped in for a rescue by announcing a bunch of things for their next few phases of movies so that gives us a lot to talk about. In this...
-
Into the Hickmanverse Part 10: Secret Wars - Character Corner #106
We wrap up our Avengers part of our Hickman series with the 9-issue Secret Wars event that sees Hickman rebuild the Marvel Universe first in Doom’s vision then from Reed’s. Secret Wars is one of those events where you don’t have to read all the related non-Hickman written issues to understand the...

Into the Hickmanverse Part 9: Time Runs Out
With the mention of the word "Incursions" in Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness its timely for us to reach the "Time Runs Out" portion of our Into the Hickmanverse series. This is the lead up to Secret Wars and its basically Hickman destroying the Marvel Universe. All of it. Time Runs…
more -
Moon Knight - The Fist of Khonshu
We're back with another Character Corner episode and this time we're talking about the character Moon Knight. Or should we say the characters Marc Spector/Steven Grant/Jake Lockley. Moon Knight is an interesting character to cover. First appearing in 1975 in Werewolf By Night, its pretty clear…

Into the Hickmanverse Part 8: Avengers & New Avengers Part 3
We're getting closer to the end of out Hickman Marvel series and things are starting to fall apart for everyone. In the two series we watch as Steve not only remembers what the Illuminati did to him but also becomes hardened in his decision that they are wrong and must be stopped. On the New...

Legion of Super-Heroes Part 2 - Reboots and More Reboots
Reboots are a thing that happens all the time in comic books. But there are reboots and retcons and then there's what DC Comics did with the Legion of Super-Heroes. I take back what I said during part 1. The Legion of Super-Heroes might have the most complex and complicated history in DC. Yes...
-
Into the Hickmanverse Part 7: Avengers Part 2 - Infinity
We're back for Part 7 of our Into the Hickmanverse series as we got through the world in Marvel that Hickman has built. After looking at what we have remaining, there will be 11 total parts. We'll get the way through Secret Wars with Part 10 and for Part 11 we'll talk about the new age of X-Men...
-
The Legion of Super-Heroes Part 1: The Great Darkness Saga

Pull List: So Many Comics, So Little Time - Character Corner #99
First Character Corner episode of 2022 and it's a Pull List. There are a lot of comics for Kriss and Dpalm to talk about. The biggest problem? There are so many great and good comics out right now. It's really hard to keep up. Of course this is a good problem to have (unless you're on a budget).…
more -
Into the Hickmanverse Part 6: Avengers & New Avengers Part 1
We're ending 2021 with the beginning of the end. We've started Hickman's epic Avengers/New Avengers run. This is one of our favorite runs. We've covered it several times from Comic Book Book Clubs on premium to when we cover individual characters like Black Panther, Iron Man, Captain America…
more -
Shang-Chi Master of Kung Fu
Kriss and Dpalm are finally back with a new Character Corner episode. This time we're talking about the Marvel Master of Kung Fu himself, Shang-Chi. We decided to wait until after we talked about the movie before diving into this character and for good reason. See, there's really no nice way to…
more -
Into the Hickmanverse Part 5: Ultimate Universe
We're back with part 5 of our Into the Hickmanverse series. This time Hickman teams up with Bendis again to dive into the Ultimate universe. But before we do that, we first have to address how we got here. Yes that means retelling the story (if you can call it that) of Ultimatum and how the...
-
Into the Hickmanverse: Fantastic Four Part 2
The latest part of our Into the Hickmanverse series by wrapping up his Fantastic Four run. This covers both Fantastic Four and FF (Future Foundation). We kick everything off with the new series, FF as well as some new uniforms for Marvel's first family. Also, Spider-Man comes in to fill in the…
more -
Into the Hickmanverse: Fantastic Four Part 1
We're finally back to our series covering Jonathan Hickman's Marvel runs. This time we're revisiting his great Fantastic Four run. We start first with the Dark Reign mini-series and then cover issues 570 to 588 in Fantastic Four. The great thing about reading a Hickman run is when you go back to...
-
Black Widow - Natasha Romanoff
We're back with another Character Corner, this time to talk about Natalia Romanova aka Natasha Romanoff aka The Black Widow. On the surface this seems like a pretty straight forward character. A former Russian spy who was trained to be a femme fatale in a secret Soviet program that was recruited...
-
Fireworks - Pull List # 9
We're finally back with a new Pull List and there's a lot to talk about. We're really in the new Golden Age of comics. The biggest problem is there are just too many good books to read. The X-Men & X-Men related books alone are worth their weight in gold. Seriously guys...we're terraforming…

Invincible Volumes 21 to 25 - Comic Book Book Club
All good things must come to an end and so it is with our read through the Invincible series. Now it's well known that even the best series have a hard time sticking the landing. How did Invincible do? Well...it stuck the landing. Kirkman really gives this series the ending it deserved and it…
more -
Into the Hickmanverse Part 2: S.H.I.E.L.D
Now the fun begins. Secret Warriors gave us a taste of what was in that crazy brain of Hickman. S.H.I.E.L.D. is where we really start to see things form. This is the series that will have readers going back to issue 25 of Secret Warriors to start piecing things together. It's also where the...
-
Into the Hickmanverse Part 1 - Secret Warriors: Wheels within Wheels
So it's time to dive into something really good. We're starting our "Into the Hickmanverse" series where we cover the major Marvel runs of Jonathan Hickman. Now if you've been a long time listener, then you'll know that we've not only talked about the works of Hickman a lot but we've also covered…
more -
Invincible Volume 16 to 20
So we're getting close to the end of our Invincible Comic Book Book Club and it would be an understatement to say things have escalated. To be honest, things get so intense in these 5 volumes, I was so traumatized, I thought I had already released this episode. So apologies for the delay but…
more -
Invincible Volume 11 to 15: Whole Lot of Problems
One of the biggest differences between the Invincible comic series and the Amazon Prime Video adaptation is the pace. The comic really doesn't give you a chance to catch your breath. And just to be clear, that works for the comic media. In these three volumes we get so much. From the "Invincible...
-
Barry Allen and the Flash Family Part 2
We're finally back with part 2 of our Barry Allen and the Flash family Character Corner series. We handle this episode a little different than our typical episodes. While we still bring up issues to read, we really focus on the discussion of the evolution of the Flash and the Flash family....
-
Bald Headed Bastards - Pull List # 8
It's the battle of the bald headed bastards (no not Kriss & Dpalm), Zordon and Professor Xavier. Who is more likely to put your kids in a dangerous, life threatening situation? We've determined they're both trash but at least Xavier will shoot you some money on the side after wiping your mind of...
-
Invincible Volumes 6 to 10 - Comic Book Book Club
We're back with the next 5 volumes of Invincible and cover volumes 6 through 10. Invincible is an interesting series because it's able to navigate accelerated storytelling with seeding things that don't pay off until volumes later. It's a good combination that both continually rewards the reader...
-
Barry Allen and the Flash Family Part 1
This feels like a long time coming. It's actually quite amazing that it's taken us this long to cover Barry Allen. We're slowly making our way through the original seven members of the Justice League (Martian Manhunter is the only remaining member left and we'll cover him soon). There's a few...
-
Invincible Volume 1 to 5 - Comic Book Book Club
Is World Domination a father-son bonding activity? Kriss and Dpalm dive into Robert Kirkman's Invincible with the first five volumes. The first 5 volumes of this series are a great introduction to the world that Kirkman has set up. It's also a great example of how those that say they want a…
more -
Scarlet Witch and Vision - Marvel's Odd Couple
First Character Corner of 2021 and we timed it to come out the same weekend that Marvel premieres its first Disney+ TV series: WandaVision. So, of course we had to tackle the Wanda Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch and her husband (ex-husband technically) Vision. These two characters actually have a...
-
The Hickmanverse - Pull List # 7
We're cutting it close but we're squeezing in a final Character Corner/Pull List episode of 2020. This has been a long, stressful year that's disrupted our normal schedule but we didn't want to close out the year without one more episode. Plus, despite everything going on, it's actually been a...
-
Miles Morales Brooklyn's Spider-Man
With the release of the Miles Morales: Spider-Man game for Playstation 4 & 5, it's the perfect time to do a follow-up on Miles Morales. Back in 2015 we did a Character Corner on Miles (Listen here). Since then a lot has happened. Matter of fact, around the time of that episode, Miles was making…
more -
It All Matters - Pull List #6
It’s that time again…time for another episode of the Pull List one the Character Corner podcast. Kriss caught up on what Scott Snyder did on Justice League and is doing with his anti-Crisis Crisis, Dark Knight Death Metal and we have thoughts. Outside of the DC & Marvel super heroes, Power…

Superman Part 1: It's a Bird, It's a Plane

Beware the Trees - Pull List #5
Covid made the release of comics a little wonky. But we're finally getting back to a normal schedule so the Pull List is back. We actually have a lot of books to talk about. One thing we do ask though is...when the hell is Saga coming back? It's been almost two years since we got an issues and it...
-

Captain America Part 2 The Other Captains
Nothing like squeezing in one more Character Corner episode at the 11th hour. Anyway, Kriss and Dpalm are back with Part 2 of their Captain America Character Corner. In the first episode we covered Steve Rogers and in this episode we cover all the other men that have held the Shield (Minus Sam...
-

The Incredible & Immortal Hulk - Character Corner #82
We're finally back with a proper Character Corner. We get back to our roots with this episode. We're not doing Creator Spotlight runs or a Comic Book Book Club. No this time we're just going to take one character and tackle their history and we go for a big one: The Hulk. Created in May of 1962...
-
Tom King's Batman Run: Breaking the Bat - Comic Book Book Club
April has been a long year and so we're doing a bit of switching up. We were supposed to be doing a Hulk Character Corner this month but life was just so busy that didn't happen. We still wanted to put out a show for the fans though. So we decided to put part 3 of our Tom King Batman Run up for…

No New Comics - Pull List #4
2020 has been a weird decade. Yes you read that right. We finally come back for a Pull List episode to discuss some of the comics we're reading only to record on April 1st and there be no new comics released for Marvel or DC due to a world wide pandemic. Yeah, not an April's Day joke. The good…
