Download this Episode

Nov 18, 2018

The Fellowship is saddened to present our tribute to the life and career of Stan Lee, who left us this week. Comics would simply not be what they are without him, and he will be deeply missed by the fans and the industry. We all have our own take on The Man, and we add our usual odd behavior (maybe a little less than normal), as well as our picks of the week.

What we're up to this week:

Thomas' Big Bag o' Nothing - under the weather, still not feeling great, sorry for any weird noises [Nyquil tangent]

Hellboy omnibuses (very cool), The Story Behind book (yay Emily 🙂) [podcast tangent]

Bill the Boy Wonder (recent bio comic on Bill Finger), Die Kitty Die trade

Old Doc Savage novels

Our deepest condolences to Stan's family, friends, and all of the fans around the world. There are many of us, and we will certainly miss him. Thank you, Stan, for everything.

Also, props to the NFL Network for their tribute to Stan 🙂

And Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate it!

Nov 11, 2018

The Fellowship is pleased to present our review and discussion of the Kree-Skrull War. We read Avengers issues 89-97, first published in 1971-72, which may have some impact on the upcoming Captain Marvel movie. And we're breaking it down here for you, dear listeners. We have opinions (shocking, right?), and we add our usual mayhem, as well as our picks of the week.

What we're up to this week:

Comics - finished Shadows On The Grave, started Corpus (a Kickstarter collection of medical stories), read some of the Halloween Comic Fest books (all awesome)

More comics - Die Die Die, Stranger Things (yep, it's a comic), The Lollipop Kids, Batman The Maxx

Movies - MST3K tour (lots of fun), this month's AGFA film The Garbage Pail Kids (delightfully horrible)

Golden Age Wonder Woman collection, Last Year: The Nightmare beta streaming on Twitch

It will be interesting to see how much (if any) of this classic story gets used in the new movie. It's essentially all backstory for the "modern" Captain, so we'll see 🙂

Oh, and the promised link (at least to the first issue, 89)

Picks for the week of 11/14:

Plastic Man #6 (DC)

William Gibson's Alien 3 #1 (Dark Horse)

Faith Deluxe Edition Vol 1 hardcover (Valiant)

Firefly #1 (BOOM! Studios)

God of War #1 (Dark Horse)

Newbury & Hobbes: The Undying #3 (Titan)

X-Men Epic Collection: The Sentinels Live (Marvel)

Hedy Lamarr: An Incredible Life GN (Humanoids)

Honorable Mention: The Fade Out collection (Image)

Nov 4, 2018

The Fellowship is pleased to present another Casting Call episode. This time we got creative, casting a New Gods series in 1995 (not real, obviously). We get a kick out of doing these; it lets us mess around with the property as well as surprise each other. Some fun and interesting casting choices, and we add our usual weird ideas, as well as our picks of the week.

What we're up to this week:

Comics - Regression vol 1, Shadows On The Grave

More of the 31 days of horror, more of the "ziplock" bags of comics (Domino, Die Die Die, Batman Sins of the Father)

At the local comic shop for Halloween Comic Fest on Saturday, reread Batman Animated

More Halloween Comic Fest (hope you all went and enjoyed), Twitch.tv channel PDCinema

[Note: I looked it up, and all they took from the 1955 version of The Fast and The Furious was the title 😉 -m]

DC's New Gods on TV in the mid-1990s? It could have been fun, that's all I'm saying...

Picks for the week of 11/7:

Suicide Squad: The Black Files #1 (DC)

Batman: Sins of the Father trade (DC)

Empty Man #1 (BOOM! Studios)

Wrong Earth #3 (Ahoy Comics)

Wet Hot American Summer graphic novel (BOOM! Studios)
