The initial and core focus of the library is the prioritisation of works by LGBTQ+ creators, women, Indigenous peoples and people of colour. We discuss the reasons behind the decision to create this groundbreaking library and collection at an institution like Cambridge University, along with how this might impact the medium. We discuss why this library is important and also what the potential of the library might be in the future. We touch on his other work within the comics sphere as an academic, and also talk about the comics, stories and experiences that have informed Dr Sutliff Sanders (https://www.acecomicals.com/guests/drjoesutliffsanders) as a champion of the medium among a range of other things! (a lot of Batman). This Library is being built using cash donations. any donations, large or small in any currency are gratefully accepted. To support the Lucy Cavendish College Library’s Graphic Novels Collection donations can be made here: https://www.lucy.cam.ac.uk/single-donation These donations go straight to the Graphic Novels Collection -- only that and nothing else -- so donors can be assured that they are helping to make outstanding authors who are female, queer, indigenous, marginalized, and people of colour part of the conversation for all time. Comics are a unique medium that has a wealth of wonderful voices from marginalised backgrounds and it is important that we pay attention and raise these voices and stories up.

Riffing on the existence of gods, demons, monsters and heroes of ancient times. The genesis of man to modern day, told the marvel way. The yarn spun about beginnings of life on Earth and beyond in the Marvel Universe! It all begins here with Jack Kirby's bronze age books. Diving into the THE ETERNALS (1976) (https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/81105/eternals_by_jack_kirby_the_complete_collection_remastered_cover_trade_paperback) We aim to provide you with an overview of the Marvel creation myth as well as discussing some truly great comics! Notes: Below is the comparison image mentioned during the cast that illustrates the similarity of The Eternals title title lettering to that of the 1971 Bantam paperback edition of "Chariots Of The Gods?"

In this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul are joined by special guest Marvyn For the fifth and final installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightfall). Presenting “BATMAN: KNIGHTSEND” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/KnightsEnd) Following the events of “KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest) and “KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest), Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham. Alfred has gone. Jean-Paul valley’s campaign of terror and one knight, deepy violent crusade on crime has ravaged Gotham. The mansion is in a state of disrepair and Gotham has lost trust in her champion. The mantle of the Bat now resides in the iron claw of a zealous dark paladin who has appointed himself judge, jury and executioner. Bruce is determined to take back the mantle and correct his mistake, to restore the Batman, as a symbol to its former glory. But first he needs to regain his edge, before going toe to toe with Jean-Paul for the title! Now there really is just one arc here that closes out the battle and puts the mantle back where it belongs with Bruce Wayne. But following Knightfall the story is not truly over. It isn’t a tidy ending, which is why we chose to cover the fallout for true closure! This is collected in two subsequent chunks “BATAMAN: PRODIGAL” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Prodigal) and “BATMAN: TROIKA” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Troika) It's all here. The thrilling conclusion to the BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightfall) SAGA and the fallout of these explosive events!

In this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul are joined by special guest Marvyn For the fourth installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightfall). Bane has been defeated by a new, darker, reckless and more violent Batman and now he rules the night. Jean-Paul Valley for better or worse wears the cowl… What follows is our discussion and the highlights of his career as Batman! It’s all mostly mercs and hitmen from here on out… We cover: -Detective Comics #667-675 -Robin #1-2 -Batman: Shadow Of The Bat #19-20 and #24-28 -Batman #501-508 -Catwoman #6-7 -Showcase ’94 #7 This is the portion of the Knightfall epic known as “KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest) and covers Jean-Paul Valley's tenure as Batman and time in the cowl, in Gotham. It is at this point that there is a fork in the path for the Knightfall saga and as mentioned in previous episodes in this series “KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest) is the other part of the story, concerning Bruce Wayne's recovery and globetrotting quest to rescue Dr Kinsolving and Tim Drake's Father. In reading order we have put "The Search" after "The Crusade" although the events are happening simultaneously. We also discuss "The Search" broadly at the beginning of this episode, but we ultimately decided to give more time to "The Crusade" because it is the better written and more interesting side of events. "The Search" covers: -Justice League Task Force #5-6, -Batman: Shadow Of The Bat #21-23, -Batman: Legends Of The Dark Knight #59-61 -Robin #7 Send any questions or feedback to (mailto:acecomicals@gmail.com) acecomicals@gmail.com.

In this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul discuss their bank holiday weekend plans, watching Deadpool 2 and Solo (and associated cinema horror stories), their wants and misgivings on the current state of comic book movie adaptations, how both the movie studios and the comic fan-base are letting down the comics industry, the dilemma of having to sacrifice the comics you want to read in order to keep up with the zeitgeist (or choosing not to), how we tackle "resuming" runs that we took a long break from reading, how we sometimes focus too much on "solving" a story or piece of art instead of letting it gestate, and the topic of mental health through the lens of comic books.

The original hero-buddies deal with some small, unfinished business that spirals out of control in a big way!
