... No Man's Land Vol. 1
A bumper episode where so much is discussed. I go through my thoughts on many of the animated Spider-Man series that have been let loose on this world we live. We also discuss Moon Knight, Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad, The Joker scene cut from The Batman, and more! Comic books are off course...
-
... Road To No Man's Land Vol. 2
The Batman is out and so it must be discussed! From ineffective bombs to the face to perhaps the best Batmobile sequence put to film, we talk about it here. Rodrigo continues his quest to read every last thing Brian K. Vaughan has written and Daniel gets us one step closer to the start of No…

... Road To No Man's Land Vol. 1
Daniel has read a lot this month, and yet talks for an incredibly short amount of time; Batman, Venom, and Y: The Last Man. Rodrigo dives into The Magic Circle by Mark Millar. Whilst there is no MCU to discuss this month, the power of Disney continues to puncture this show as we spend a good…

... Sex Criminals Vol. 5 & 6
Another month, another episode of A PhD Student Reads... This month saw the release of the next chapter of the MCU - The Eternals. And like most of the internet we have a lot to say on it. What we don't have a lot to say about is Venom: Let there be Carnage however. And of course we talk comic...
-
... Sex Criminals Vol. 3 & 4
A PhD Students Reads... returns and I, Daniel Underwood once again awkwardly stumble through more volumes of Sex Criminals. Rodrigo has a much easier time with Gotham Central. This month also features more What If.. conversation, the state of the MCU and DCEU, and my cat Spectre. You can follow…
more -
... Sex Criminals Vol. 1 & 2
PSA: I (Daniel) had some major technical issues when recording and so if I sound odd that's why. I tried my best to salvage it, as good discussions were had. The podcast comes of age in episode 19 as we cover two books with some similar themes handled very differently. We also discuss the newly...
-
... Jynx
This month Daniel has really narrowed down the creator list, reading a book written, drawn, and entirely created by one man - Brian Michael Bendis. Rodrigo dives into a short but sweet graphic novel based on a true story. Recommendations all round! Follow the show on Twitter @PhdReads Support the...
-
... Unimaginable
Both Rodrigo and I move away from the "Big 2" and delve into some Hollywood-based noir and what can only be described as a young girl's weird dream. We also talk about films and video games for your leisure too! Follow the show on Twitter: @PhdReads Support the show here:...
-
... Joker
Time zones and technical difficulties cannot stop us talking about comic books. Rodrigo finishes his time with the Bendis run of Daredevil and I return to a grimmer, darker, and yet more beautiful depiction of Gotham City curtesy of Brian Azzarello. Follow the show on Twitter: @PhdReads Support…

... X-Men Age of Apocalypse: The Complete Epic Vol. 4
Age of Apocalypse if over (yes I know there is more, but it is over for me), and do you know what this volume wasn't half bad! I would even go as far as to say that it was GOOD! Rodrigo continues his Bendis run of Daredevil, as Matt Murdock continues to have a miserable life. But we look at some...
-
... X-Men Age of Apocalypse: The Complete Epic Vol. 3
PhD Student reads continues, and much like this show X-Men: The Age of Apocalypse is slowing improving. And on the Daredevil front things continue to be great, so lucky Rodrigo! You can follow the show on Twitter @PhdReads You can support the show financially at...
-
... X-Men Age of Apocalypse: The Complete Epic Vol. 2

... Hawkeye Vol. 4: Rio Bravo
We have reached the end of the beloved, Eisner-winning Fraction/Aja run on Hawkeye, and I don't think it could have wrapped up any better. You can follow the show on Twitter @PhdReads You can support the show financially at https://supporter.acast.com/phd-student-reads Music Main Attraction by...

... Hawkeye Vol. 3: L.A. Woman
Join me as we very briefly discuss Hawkeye Volume 3: L.A. Woman. To put it bluntly it's great, and now I think I like Kate more than Clint! Apologies for the shorter length this month, December has certainly not pulled its punches for me but I would rather put something out than nothing at all....
-
... Hawkeye Vol.2: Little Hits
After a vote that resulted in a 3-way tie we return to Earth 616 and pick up where we left off with Hawkeye. This episode features bows, arrows, Russians, tracksuits, a killer clown, and goodness gracious me complete and utter inane ramblings from myself. To all of you who listen, I thoroughly...

... Batman Vol. 10: Epilogue
Here you have it folks, the end of the New 52 take on Batman. And how to we wrap up such an acclaimed take on the Caped Crusader? Another anthology.... yay. You can find the book here:...

Batman Vol. 9: Bloom
Gotham is under the green thumb of Mr. Bloom, but is Jim Gordon up to the task of bringing him down. And will Bruce Wayne don the cowl once more? Yes. Yes he will. Note: Apologies for the awful sound this episode, it seems my laptop didn't register my microphone and instead of telling me just…

... Batman Vol. 8: Superheavy
Batman is dead. Long live Batman. Jim Gordon, oh dear police commissioner have left the trench coat behind, grabbed a cowl, and taken to the street to become a more controlled, sanctioned Batman. And just in time too, as gang leaders are getting super! You can by the book here:...
-
... Batman Vol. 7: Endgame
The Joker is back in Gotham. And he is immortal now? The MCU have had their Endgame, but before that so did The Clown Prince of Crime. The PhD Student takes a deeper dive into the next volume of the fan favourite Synder run on Batman. Haven't read it? You can buy it right here:...
-
... I am Alfonso Jones
In the wake of George Floyd's death demonstrations erupted around the world highlighting the systemic racism in many of our communities and the over militarisation of many police forces around the world. Here we will discuss a graphic novel talking these issues head one whilst also being aimed at...
-
... Hawkeye Vol. 1: My Life as a Weapon
Oh boy... Firstly I keep calling this episode 4 when really it is 3. Making the first one episode 0 is throwing my addled brain off. I say "Um" about 1,000,000 times too, much to your listening delight I am sure. The comics are good though! Today we have a chat about the first volume of Matt...
-
... Batman Vol. 6: Graveyard Shift
It's episode 2 of PhD Student Reads... and we continue our journey through Scott Synder's run on The Caped Crusader. Instead on continuing the story from Volume 3, we take a detour into some stories between the stories. With mixed success. If you want to talk comics, science, or anything else you...
-
... Batman Vol.5: Zero Year - Dark City
Welcome to the first proper episode of A PhD Student Reads... your least favourite, terribly produced comic review/discussion show. This time I will try and discuss my thoughts and feelings on the 5th volume of the fan favourite Scott Synder/Greg Capullo run on The Caped Crusader. Featuring a…
