And for the Second Part of our Creator Double Bill, to usher in our 150th Podcast, we have the one and only Jock!
It's fair to say that without exposure to Jock's work, Coffee & Heroes may not even exist. Listen on to find out why...
You name it, he's worked on it - Batman, Judge Dredd, Wolverine, Green Arrow, Superman, 2000AD, and then there's the creator owned work such as The Losers, Wytches and Snow Angels amongst others.
It was a genuine pleasure to speak to the man himself, go through his entire career path and we hope you enjoy it, as much as we enjoyed talking to him!
To kick things off for our double sized 150th Episode Spectacular, we are chatting with one of the industry's brightest artists. Don’t take our word for it, just ask Marvel who included him in their 2020 Stormbreakers, their way of showing the next generation of elite artists. To give you an idea of the talent involved in that 2020 class, think Patrick Gleason, Peach Momoko and Juann Cabal amongst others.
He’s worked with some of the best writers around too, including Nick Spencer, Benjamin Percy, Rodney Barnes, Donny Cates and Al Ewing. Clearly, his reputation precedes him.
We chat all about his career, what titles got him interested in the industry, what it’s like playing in Johnathan Hickman’s playground and what the future holds. We may even find out what some of his favourite comics of all time are...

Jason Shawn Alexander is an artist who is amongst the most highly regarded in the industry. Having worked for both of the ‘Big 2’, as well as Image Comics, Dark Horse and Oni Press.
Think Spawn, Empty Zone, Marvel Zombies, Batman, Abe Sapien, and of course, Killadelphia, a title that has been highlighted on pretty much every reviews pod with done, and for good reason. One of the most dynamic and terrifying depictions of vampires in years, it’s no surprise that a live action adaptation is in the works (though Rodney wouldn’t give up details, maybe Jason can let a few things slip…)
We cover all of his influences, his relationship with Todd McFarlane and his time on Spawn, how Killadelphia came together with Rodney Barnes and what the future holds!

Welcome to Week 2 of the Movie a Day Podcast and the beginning on my 007 Marathon!
I've always grown up in a world where Bond movies existed. I used to watch them on old battered VHS's (they existed before DVD's kids!), having recorded them (long play of course) every time there was one being shown on a Bank Holiday on ITV.
So I thought it would be fun to go back to the beginning and trace the 007 movies up to the modern day. So settle back, grab a martini (shaken, not stirred), and get ready to travel the world with 007.

Join Alan, Vicki, Keith and Roddy as they chat with the one and only Chip Zdarsky!
That's right! The guy who draws Sex Criminals! Oh and was probably Marvel's best writer of 2019.....
We cover everything from Chip's first foray into comics, to his mega breakout hit Sex Criminals, to his golden stint at Marvel with Spider-Man: Life Story, Daredevil and Invaders, and find out what his favourite comics/titles of all time are.
This was an absolute pleasure for us! Chip is a hell of an intelligent, fun and forthright guy to chat to, and we hope you guys enjoy it too!
If you like what we do, please do like and subscribe and spread the word!
Now stop reading this part, and go listen to why Daredevil is Chip's favourite Marvel title of all time...
Join Alan, Keith and Roddy as they deep dive into one of Marvel's finest hours - both in the world of comic books and the world of movies. Settle in, there's a lot to go through here!
The Status-Quo-Shattering Saga that sent both critics and fans reeling!
For more than 50 years, the Soviets employed an undercover agent - an unstoppable, untraceable killer known as the Winter Soldier - to assassinate key political figures in the West. His suspected identity? Bucky Barnes, Captain America's onetime partner, thought to have been murdered in the closing days of World War 2. Now, the Winter Soldier is back, working under the command of the ruthless General Lukin - who has obtained a functional Cosmic Cube, a weapon of limitless power that can bend reality itself. Vowing to end Lukin's reign of terror and destruction, Captain America relentlessly tracks the Cube's trail - only to find himself face-to-face against the Winter Soldier. Will Cap be forced to battle his resurrected partner so soon after learning the astonishing truth?
Hope you guys enjoy. Please do rate and subscribe if you dig what we do, and please, spread the word!
Join Alan, Vicki, Keith and Roddy as they guide you through the April Previews book. Given the way the world is at the moment, these titles, originally solicited for a June Release, will now be released at an unspecified time later in the year.
In the meantime, if any of the titles appeal to you and you'd like them added to your pull list, please do get in touch. As more information comes out regarding the future release schedules, we will do our best to keep everyone updated as and when we know.
Hope you guys enjoy! Stay safe out there!
Join Alan as he does a complete read through of Erf, an all ages comic book by Garth Ennis (Yes, THAT Garth Ennis), illustrated by Rob Steen. If you have a copy, feel free to read along with us!
At the dawn of time, Erf and his three amphibious friends, Figwillop, KWAAAH, and the Booper, take their first nervous steps out of the ocean, the beginning of an adventure into the primordial world. As they explore the exciting new lands beyond the shore, they discover that the prehistoric jungle is home to the mighty and terrifying Colossux. What follows is an evolutionary fable of love and loyalty for readers of all ages!
This is something to keep the kids and adults occupied through this challenging time. Hope you guys enjoy!

In honour of World Book Day, we thought we'd present a very special book club with one of the undoubted greats of the Comic Book Genre, Art Spiegelman's MAUS.
MAUS depicts Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The work employs postmodernist techniques and represents Jews as mice, Germans as cats, and Poles as pigs. Critics have classified Maus as memoir, biography, history, fiction, autobiography, or a mix of genres. In 1992, it became the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize.
This one was Roddy's choice, and he is joined by Alan and Keith for a deep dive into this undoubted classic.

We're back with another Book Club and this times it's Keith's choice, and what a book! The Old Guard TP Vol 1: Opening Fire written by Greg Rucka with art by Leandro Fernandez.
Old soldiers never die…and some of them don’t even fade away. Cursed with immortality, Andromache of Scythia and her comrades-in-arms ply their trade for those who can find—and afford—their services. But in the 21st century, being immortal is a difficult secret to keep, and when you live long enough, you learn that there are many fates far worse than death.
Keith, Alan and Roddy deep dive into this underrated masterpiece, with a sequel - The Old Guard: Force Multiplied, available for Preorder now, and due for release on December 18th.
And if it's even half as good as Vol. 1, then this needs to get on your pull list asap! We also do our best to ensure that Vol. 1 TP is in stock at all times in the store so make sure to pick it up!
Hope you guys enjoy, and of course, spoilers aplenty!

Welcome to our brand new format for our Reviews Show. We like to think we're a good store at minimising spoilers. When anyone comes in, if we're chatting about anything specific, we'll take a pause until we know everyone in the store has already read or seen something.
With that ethos in mind, we decided to make our reviews show spoiler heavy, but no titles will be discussed that were released in the month of posting the podcast. In other words, in January 2019, we're discussing the best of December 2018.
As well as our favourite comics, we also give our thought on Into the Spider-Verse, and the Spider-Man Far From Home trailer.
Feedback is always appreciated, so hope you guys enjoy!

Doomsday Clock #7
Batman #55
Bully Wars #1
Amazing Spiderman Annual #1
Avengers #8
Oblivion Song #7
Fantastic Four #2
Mister Miracle #11
Heroes in Crisis #1
Action Comics #1003

Cosmic Ghost Rider #3

In this podcast, spoilers are kept to a minimum but for future podcasts they will be spoiler filled as we can delve into an issue much more thoroughly by discussing specific plot points and story developments.
Hope you guys dig the new format, and if there are any questions you'd like to ask us, or any issues / subjects you'd like us to discuss, feel free to drop an email to coffeeandheroes@hotmail.com or drop us a message through the Facebook Page...

Old soldiers never die…and some of them don’t even fade away. Cursed with immortality, Andromache of Scythia and her comrades-in-arms ply their trade for those who can find—and afford—their services. But in the 21st century, being immortal is a difficult secret to keep, and when you live long enough, you learn that there are many fates far worse than death.
Keith, Alan and Roddy deep dive into this underrated masterpiece, with a sequel - The Old Guard: Force Multiplied, available for Preorder now, and due for release on December 18th.
And if it's even half as good as Vol. 1, then this needs to get on your pull list asap! We also do our best to ensure that Vol. 1 TP is in stock at all times in the store so make sure to pick it up!

Welcome to our brand new format for our Reviews Show. We like to think we're a good store at minimising spoilers. When anyone comes in, if we're chatting about anything specific, we'll take a pause until we know everyone in the store has already read or seen something.
With that ethos in mind, we decided to make our reviews show spoiler heavy, but no titles will be discussed that were released in the month of posting the podcast. In other words, in January 2019, we're discussing the best of December 2018.
As well as our favourite comics, we also give our thought on Into the Spider-Verse, and the Spider-Man Far From Home trailer.
Feedback is always appreciated, so hope you guys enjoy!
