This is the one, the Ahsoka episode! Adam joins me for a (lit, tbh) long hour-plus discussion of the show so far, at the end of this episode! Let's do it.

Podcast notes for this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep104-ahsoka-hour-the-star-card-knight-terrors-wrap-up-gotham-war-explained-fall-of-x-catch-up-more-comicsmangaanime

Kicking it off with TAROT 00:05:46 and our Card of the Week, #17: the Star! After the history and symbolism, I cover the card's Interpretation/Meaning 14:55, and finally the always fun Pop Culture references 18:00 and summary.

MANGA segment 25:19 includes the little bits of manga news, followed by catching up on what I've been reading in the world of manga lately.

COMIC BOOKS 32:47 starting with October release news. Recent Reads/Events 39:07 including Kelly Thompson's The Cull #1, the finale of Dark Knights of Steel, plus Marvel Unleashed #1 and a ton more, all leading into catching up with the ending of Knight Terrors, which itself leads into the Batman/Catwoman Gotham War. On Marvel's side, the extensive Fall of X books have been read and summarized as well as I think is reasonable.

TV/Movies/Anime segments 1:24:59 start with everything new and noteworthy, including new English anime dubs, shows I've caught up on or started fresh, and some recent movies and one-off's that I've also enjoyed. Really quickly, there's also relevant News/Announcements 1:32:39.

Finally, (with Adam joining the discussion here) after some actually pretty solid discussion of the Harley Quinn show's finale of season 4 (and what we'd like to see in a season 5), we get to Ahsoka! The show, that is. Be warned, we saved recording this until we'd already cracked a few beers, so what you're hearing is raw, mostly unfiltered drunk nerds get excited about the Clone Wars and Rebels series' long-game outcome. Hail Filoni, tbh. It's so good to see....you get it. It's all in there, I hope the discussion isn't too wild.

I'll be back with another episode uhhhh hopefully by the end of the month! Lots going on in life atm, so scheduling my recordings have been kinda difficult. But I shall return, and Adam too! There's at least, what, 2 more Ahsoka episodes to cover? And always, always, more comics, manga, and anime. The Fall 2023 anime season will be announced soon, too! Peace out, girl scouts.

There's a bit of MANGA 00:25:13 that I've followed this week, then COMIC BOOKS 27:16 starts with minor news, including the dark story explanation for Spider-Man: Reign, getting a sequel that nobody wanted later this year. Recent Comic Reads and Events 00:33:07 covers fun indie titles like Swan Songs (that Wijngaard art!), The Madness, and Vampirella/Dracula: Rage #1, plus the current Big Two events, Knight Terrors at DC and Fall of X at Marvel.

TV/Movies/Anime has minor news at the front 00:44:13 with Adam joining us again to talk the new Destiny 2 Zavala casting! Don't miss Ahsoka on the 23rd, we'll discuss it on the subsequent podcast! Finally, he and I discuss the finale of Strange New Worlds 00:46:43, including a lot of talk on the Gorn species. We end with the 5th episode of Harley Quinn season 4, where both character arcs of the leading ladies ties us back to the message of tarot's the Tower card. Whabam! 

Join us again next week for more Harley Quinn, prep for he Ahsoka episode, a TON more comics and manga chat, and tarot's The Star! Stay Hydrated and Sweaty, nerds.

Hello and welcome back to the Yancy St Podcast! We're happy to have you. 

Podcast notes: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep102-the-devil-and-baphomet-explained-animeanimation-and-unionization-forced-musical-episodes-and-more 

I got a little excited about the TAROT Card of the Week this week, which is #15: The Devil 00:02:59. It actually takes up most of the episode, so I'll give each section it's own timestamp: Description/Symbolism @ 00:15:56. Interpretation/Meaning @ 00:25:50. Pop Culture @ 00:28:36. Summary @ 00:37:00. I know it seems like a lot but we've got a ton in here: historical explanation for Baphomet, Marvel, Anime, DC and Justice League character correspondences, Devil designs through history and the historical evolution of how we got there, and more. Here's the link to my Satana podcast special: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/satana-hellstrom-the-devils-daughter-satanic-panic-seduction-of-the-innocent-the-comics-code-full-character-history 

The weekly COMIC BOOKS Lo-Down on Recent Reads/Events 00:39:39  includes DC's Knight Terrors and Marvel's Fall of X, plus The Sacrificers #1, Amazing Spider-Man Annual, and more. 

Adam joins the chat for the TV/Movies/Anime segment 00:49:41, where we talk animation and unionization--while we see most of Hollywood put on pause for the SAG-AFTRA strikes, when will voice actors and animators get their own justice?

We finish with the shows, currently Harley Quinn S04E04 56;28 (The First Person to Come Back From a Business Conference Without Chlamydia), and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S02E09 (Subspace Rhapsody). And boy, that musical episode was certainly....certainly something. 

Join the Yancy St Discord! https://discord.gg/gU59jDUt and be back next week for more comics, pop culture, tarot (the Tower!), and more.

Hello and Happy August! We'll cover some new-month topics this week as well as our regular fun programming. 

Join us in the Yancy Street Discord! https://discord.gg/gU59jDUt Follow along with the podcast notes: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep101-temperance-comic-events-and-look-ahead-secret-invasion-finale-loki-s2-trailer-harley-quinn-s4-and-more EDIT: Found the comics I was looking for! Link to Elektra Daredevil action figure review: https://youtu.be/r-2iTXXNXI0 

Tarot Lessons Card of the Week 00:07:12 is #14 of the Major Arcana, Temperance! A card of balance, blending, and queer identity. Plus Marvel and Anime tarot references! 

The Manga segment 00:19:18 briefly covers My Dress Up Darling volume 9, as well as Superman VS Meshi @2.

The segment for COMIC BOOKS 00:21:35 starts with covering recent releases, including Ultimate Invasion, Hellcat and She-Hulk finales, Marvel's the Fall and DC's Knight Terrors. For coming this week, we have an even better list of fun releases that I'll be covering on the next episode! Finally, I go over some more of what to expect and look forward to for comic books in this month of August. 

TV, Movies, and Anime begins at 00:43:42, talking briefly some new things for the Summer Anime Season such as Mashle, Pokemon, and Saint Cecilia. Also gone over are The Little Mermaid, and on the wildly opposite end of the spectrum, A Knock at the Cabin. Then, Adam leads the short talk on the upcoming Castlevania spinoff show! 

We end as usual with Current Shows 00:46:45, starting with the latest Strange New Worlds (S02E08), and a somber ide of the franchise. 51:36 sees us go into the Secret Invasion finale, and then remember that the Loki Season 2 trailer came out, and so we get a lot into that one, too! It ends with Harley Quinn S04E01-3 1:05:03, a delightful kickoff to what is hopefully not the final arc of the show. 

Come back next week for more comics, more shows, more tarot, and whatever else we come up with by then! Joins the discord, follow us online, and more in the links below.

Good day to you, fellow nerds and enthusiasts. Please check out the Yancy street discord to find myself and Adam! https://discord.gg/3BpsvxER Podcast Notes for links or to follow along: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep100-knight-terrors-the-marvels-trailer-breakdowntheories-sdcc23-they-cloned-tyrone-strange-new-worlds-x-lower-decks 

Our Tarot studies this week coves the exciting Card of the Week, #13: Death! 00:04:44 Talking the Black Plague, modern takes, Truck-kun, and more!

The MANGA Segment  19.31is mostly a brief check-in about those DC Comics Manga being released in English, which are all enjoyable so far!

There's a lot for COMIC BOOKS 21.23, starting with news, which covers "Big Two" news for October-- Halloween specials, one-shots, series kick-offs, and more! Then we get into Recent Reads/Events 32.26, talking my surprising love for Tales f the Titans #1, the new Harley Quinn anthology, and more. Dc's Knight Terrors event is covered starting at 40.31, and I am completely caught up!

Going into TV/MOVIES/Anime 48.23, we stat with what's New and Noteworthy, including the Summer 2023 anime season, Minx, and a lot of love for They Cloned Tyrone. 

The News/Announcements/Rumors 54.20 is entirely what comes from SDCC 2023, including new action figure releases from Mezco and Hasbro. That also leads us into the trailer for THE MARVELS 1:03: 54, where I break the thing down, add in my own questions and theories, and go over the comic book arc that introduces Park Seo-joon, playing alien character Yan D' Aladna (NOT Carol's husband in any way). 

We finish with tar Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 1:14:09, covering episodes S01E06: Lost in Translation  and S02E07: Those Old Scientists, which is the crossover the Lower Decks! It was a beaut, released early for Comic Con.  Come back next week for more sweaty nerd content! Stay cool.

We've entered the hottest part of the year, just in time for Convention season! But the heat isn't the only major complication this year. More in the news segment!

Podcast notes for mentioned links/to follow along with this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep99tarot-history-12-mcu-synergy-fatigue-dcs-knight-terrors-x-men-before-the-fall-mawsuperman-trekusawhouk-more

Continuing our Tarot Lessons, the Card of the Week 00:03:19 is Major Arcana #12: the Hanged Man. I found what I thought was some neat history, trailing down into the usual pop culture references and concluding with the modern take on the card. 

There's a bit of news for Comic Books 00:15:46, which contains spoilers for the recent Fallen Friend issue and the future of the character in question. The base of our MCU Fatigue discussions found in this episode starts here. 

The fairly extensive Recent Reads/Events 00:23:52 covers almost a month of comics catching up, including talk about both the current Marvel and DC comic events. For Marvel, I put together a somewhat brief summary of the Sins of Sinister event and how it leads into our current Before the Fall "precursor" event. Then for DC, I have a very basic rundown of the Knight Terrors event backstory, and a few of the stories that have happened so far. More for both next episode! Other comics discussed in slightly more-depth include Doctor Strange #5, Jon Kent's new series, the end of Hairball, the complicated feelings on Captain Marvel through Dark Tempest #1 (and her movie), and of course, more on Fallen Friend. 

Shows/Movies/Anime 00:51:50 begins with what we've been currently watching, starting with a longer discussion of Hijack (AppleTV+) and ending with one about My Adventures with Superman (MAX)! Both are very positive, just so ya know. 

Then News for this section 001:04:04, with some Anime Expo announcements, some Greta Gerwig mentions, and a good amount of discourse on the VARIOUS big strikes happening right now, and how that'll effect both con season and the immediate future of fandom.

Adam mostly covers the real talk on the latest Secret Invasion episodes 01:13:34, covering the BIGGEST reveals, who's lived and died so far, general MCU observations, and a fair amount of theories. 

Last is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 01:21:34, covering episodes 3-5 of season 2. All of them have been delightful, IMO, true to the spirit of Trek. On that note, we also ended up talking Doctor Who, and my "theory" on how the two shows are basically the same thing. 

The end! I'll be back as soon as I can manage, so stay hydrated, but metaphorically sweaty.

The catching up starts with an unfortunate loss, the obituary of THE John Romita Sr. (0:05:03). A legend across publishers, eras, characters, and influences, his career was one that will always remain vastly important to the history of comic book publishing.

Podcast Notes for links and reading along: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep98-jrjr-justice-card-pride-month-manga-highlights-comic-book-news-strange-new-worlds-s2-secret-invasion-the-flash

In our episodic Tarot Studies (00:11:15), we discuss the history, symbolism, interpretation, and pop culture references of the 11th card of the Major Arcana, Justice! Coinciding comic characters: Magik and Valkyrie.

Instead of a Manga of the week this go-round (00:23:49), I decided this June for Pride Month, I'd do a Pride Month Highlight on Great Queer Manga: highlighting the diversity of characters, topics, and settings of LGBTQ+-based manga! I've compiled a list of 7 beloved queer manga (plus a few favorites of our own!) to briefly describe and, I hope, catch your interest.

Moving forward into my bit on Comic Books (00:34:57), I have a LOT of comics from May/June to cover, which I've finally caught up on! This includes the finale to Thompson's Captain Marvel series, the premier of Tom King's coming Wonder Woman, Hickman's return to Marvel with ultimate Invasion, and much, much more!

As for what's new Next week (6/28) (00:52:43 ), we have some great variant covers to mention and celebrate.

Comic Book News (00:55:51) includes Kelly Thompson's Birds of Prey, Rafael Grampa's Gargoyle of Gotham, Hickman's utter glory, and Alyssa Wong's October Captain Marvel! Lots to talk about, and even more to come.

Which brings us right into the parts for TV and Movies (01:12:08), starting with some brief notes on what I've been watching lately: HMU about that FROM finale, PLEASE.

Announcements/Rumors; Trailers; and Anime News (01:14:52) are gone through pretty quickly, so see the podnotes for the links to details and elaboration!

Finally, CURRENT TV: (01:32:27) Starting with Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episodes 1 AND 2, then going into Secret Invasion's episode 1 premier! So much fun, for so many reasons. And are you, as well, looking forward to the SNW/Lower Decks crossover? I'm ready.

And that's it this week. I'll be back as soon as I am able, odd are with Adam included! We'll talk more Trek, more Marvel, more Manga and Anime, and as always, more Comics. Keep is sweaty, nerds.

Happy June! I hope your month is off to a good start. It's the Spider-Verse episode!

Podcast notes to follow along if you'd like: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep97-across-the-spider-verse-spoiler-chat-wheel-of-fortune-in-marvelanime-patsy-walkers-hellcat-more-comics-news-etc 

Before we kick off the week's opening Tarot lesson 00:02:59, shoutout to the Citadel Oracle deck for being bonkers amazing in every way. Creator Fez Ikwright's site (10/10): https://rosdottir.com/  Our Card of the Week of the  major arcana this week is #10: Wheel of Fortune! Using tarot-heritage.com's wonderful history and summary, the wheel of fortune is duly explored through historical context, imagery, and meanings. Pus the usual Anime Tarot archetype and Marvel Tarot TRIO (count them--3!) comic characters assigned to the card!

Manga of the week 00:21:26 is The Angel Next-door Spoils Me Rotten, a manga I've been reading based off an original light novel series. The story's anime premiered on Crucnyroll in the past year, so check that out if you do subs!

Manga News 00:24:41 includes potential ends for Chainsaw Man and the start of a....Doc Oc in a schoolgirl's body manga? Yerp.

As for Comic Books 00:31:11, yes, I am behind again. BUT, I have a lot to say about Cantwell's Hellcat series, which I'm still loving, and the developments in Patsy Walker's life (and death?). I also cover Disney's Maleficent #1 (very, very good) and issue 5 of 6 of the Ambassadors!

Then, a brief rundown of what's New Next Week (well, this week, June 7th) 00:39:11, including another issue of Ambassadors and if my calendar is correct, Maleficent #2!

Three points of Comic Book News 00:43:27 cover Hickman/Schiti's G.O.D.S. at Marvel, Thompson's new Birds of Prey at DC, and the apparent impending Bat/Ca Gotham War, of which  neither of us are particular fans. Fingers crossed it ends how we hope!

Finally into TV/MOVIES 00:51:17, going over for starters the new things we've been watching and enjoying this week, including Demon Slayer, Mashle, and Oshi No Ko (we also watched the first episode of American Born Chinese after recording--10/10 fantastic, if you were still wondering). And very quickly, some anime announcements 00:53:25, with at least one new English dub on the way this week!

And Then: SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE @ 00:55:51 and through to the end! We talk new characters, theories wild and sane, general reactions, and everything else we could think of! Definitely spoilers, definitely loved it. Adam shares his notes and I wing it whoops 

Best I know, I'll be back Sunday for the new episode. Any ideas what to do for #100? I hit 100 episodes a long time again, this one is jsut numbered so. 

American Born Chinese! Comics Comics Comics! Tarot's Justice Card!

Next time.

Have a good week.

Hello and good afternoon, everyone! Anna and (sometimes) Adam, back at it again with a new podcast episode! Anna's Insta is linked below, Adam's is https://www.instagram.com/adeezzy40 

Podcast notes to follow along should you wish to do so: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep96-the-hermit-iron-man-and-emma-frost-get-married-ms-marvel-in-wells-er-man-ruridragon-comic-news-and-more 

This week's Tarot Studies 0:04:01 covers our Card of the Week for the Major Arcana, #9: The Hermit! I talk a little history, description and symbolism, meaning, and pop culture references! Additionally, due to the Anime Tarot's Hikikomori card for the Hermit, I go through the differing definitions of Hikikomori, NEET, Otaku, and Weeaboo, as described by the Japanese Ministry of Health. 

As part of our regular Manga segment, this week's Manga of the week 0:20:01 is the elusive Ruri Dragon! Written and illustrated by Masaoki Shindo, for whom the series has had to take a break due to the creator's health. Available on the Shonen Jump app, hopefully the hype keeps up long enough for Shindo to make a glorious return for Ruri and co!

The weekly COMIC BOOKS chat 0:25:04 starts with fairly extensive Comic Book News--and Adam's main involvement of the episode this week. News we cover includes August Marvel and DC announcements, the somewhat curious line of Fall of X books, Tony and Emma's coming marriage (yep, really), and of course, those ASM #26.....choices. That was....truly a choice. We all know why, but that doesn't make it any better. Lame. Anyway. I wrap up comic news with some Frank Frazetta talk regarding the upcoming Dynamite Fire and Ice series. 

There's a week or two of Recent Comic Reads 0:58:23, including the penultimate Captain Marvel, Spirit World, Avengers, and at least a TRIO of really fun indie titles. This is followed by what is coming for New Comics Next Week (5/24) 01:08:09: some series starts and some very coo continuations, IMO!

The TV/MOVIES segment 01:13:46 includes a little bit of what I've been watching this week, like Netflix's Yakitori anime, before getting into some brief Announcements 01:15:05. Lastly, for Anime News 01:18:56, I have a few points of interest that include English dub announcements as well as releases for later seasons this year!

Come back next week for more tarot lessons, more comic books, manga and anime, pop culture, and more, for the last week of May! Keep it sweaty; it's a good time to be a nerd.

I'll be the first to admit we might have been cracking some beers doing this recording, so I hope you enjoy it! This is a much less regimented episode than I usually do, so let me know what you think of the format compared to "usual" weeks. 

Admittedly limited podcast notes for this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep95-the-chariot-of-tarot-the-manga-villainess-james-gunns-dcu-superman-legacy-casting-chat-gotgv3-and-more 

Tarot card of the week is the Chariot! I don't have anything too interesting for history unfortunately, just the usual symbolism, meanings, and pop culture.

The Manga of the Week is The Fed Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess! Not available in print in English, so that's up to you to figure out. But man, do I love this one! Easy to catch up on as it's only about 8 chapters in! 

Which ends what I actually planned for the episode--the remainder is free reign discussion between myself and Adam about recent Geek culture/pop culture events. We start with the recent casting rumors and short lists for James Gunn's much looked-forward-to Superman: Legacy movie. We go through our wants and expectations, along with the names who might be playing various important characters. 

Then it's continuing the Gunn discussion with Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Granted, we haven't seen it in theaters, but I've seen enough and heard enough to know I won't be seeing it there period. We are not a household that puts up with visceral animal pain. But there's more than that to talk about, and so with what we know, we do.

Lastly, it had to happen: more Amazing Spider-Man comics discussion, this time in connection to footage from the upcoming Spider-Verse movie! But don't just stop here, the whole episode is full of little bits and pieces of geek culture being talked about, including the DnD movie, DC's Knight Terrors event, and more! I hope you enjoy our tipsy chat, and there should be a slightly more regular episode back again next week--unless y'all really prefer this! Let me know.

Good morrow! Back at it again with my cohost/husband, Adam! He's here this week to talk Demon Slayer (manga), Amazing Spider-Man (ASM), The Flash (DCU) trailer, and more!

Link to the podcast notes on my ad-free website, if you want to read them to follow along: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep94-ivthe-chariot-zeb-wells-spider-manpaul-fcbd-preview-may-comic-look-ahead-demon-slayer-is-manga-of-the-week 

This week's Tarot Lessons 00:04:06 covers card #6 of the Major Arcana, the Chariot! We're talking some light(er than last week) history, symbolism, meaning, and pop culture references!

Our Manga of the Week 00:18:48 is none other than Demon Slayer! One of the most popular series' of this era, Adam has collected and read the entire manga, so he's pleased to share it with you with his thoughts! Followed by brief points of Manga News 00:26:09. For a full list of manga releases coming in this month of May, check out the Otaku Calendar site for May: https://otakucalendar.com/Calendar/2023/5

As it's the first pod of the new month, technically, I have quite some extensive comic book previews. The comic book segments start 00:28:17 with covering some Recent Reads, including the Powergirl Action Comics B-Story, end of the arc for Grim, Hairball, Harley Quinn, the Ambassadors, the final issue of Lovesick, and more Clea in Doctor Strange. PLEASE be sure to check out her podcast special I did for her last year if you want to know anything additional about her character--I'm the Resident Clea Pro!

Comic Book News 00:42:11 has two small upcoming series announcements and a note on the ending of the Captain Marvel series, before I let Adam go off about the current Zeb Wells-run Amazing Spider-Man series, AKA Amazing-Cuck-Man, AKA Amazing Paul, AKA Wells Cuck Fantasy, AKA---we could go on. Nothing makes sense. 

But then there's still MAY comic series/one-shot kick-offs 00:55:19; JULY BIG-2 Highlights (from solicits); a preview for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023 (Sat. May 6th!) 01:02:48; and finally, New Comics Next Week (5/3/2023) 1:07:39.

Which leaves us with the TV/MOVIES 01:09:47 segment. After some brief notes on the current spring 2023 anime and live-action shows, we're talking News and Announcements 1:11:44, which covers Grant Morrison's legendary Titans cameo, plus excitement about season 2 of Strange New Worlds! I'm currently making Adam rewatch the first with me. 

The only Trailer 01:16:36 to speak of this week was that additional Flash trailer, for which Adam and I have WIDLY different takes! Who do you agree with more?!?

Finally, Anime News 1:22:34 has just a few points of things to look forward to later this year and beyond. 

That's it for this week, and thank you all for tuning in! Please feel free to join our discord (below) to talk about whatever you want--geek-related or otherwise! And we'll see you next week :)

My description was too long last time so I'll try to be more brief! It'sbeen a few weeks (long story), so with all this content too cover, I had to bring in a special co-host! Follow Adam on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/adeezzy40/

Link for podcast notes to follow along if you want: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep93-rip-lance-reddick-guest-host-mandalorian-wrap-up-recent-comics-trailersnews-the-lovers-card-kaiju-no8-more

As promised, we begin this week with a tribute 05:22 to Lance Reddick: actor, artist, musician, and geek. He is a vast talent that will truly be missed.

The tarot studies major arcana card of the week 12:12 is card #6: The lovers (which is gunny, cause co-host). I talk a LOT about the history of this one, which i hope you find just as interesting as I did! The deck of the month is Tarot Mucha from Lo Scarabeo.

Our Manga of the Week is Kaiju No.8, in a discussion primarily led by Adam! Followed by Manga News 47:54.

The Comics segment begins 52:24 with what is new this coming week (the last of April), and then has a LOT of catching up on recent comic book releases, including this final arc of Captain Marvel, the first issues of Hellcat, eternally more love for Purgatori, and so much more!

TV and Movies segment 1:37:05 starts with some new and noteworthy titles including the so-far Spring Anime releases, Beef with Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, and a few others.

Star Wars Celebration wrap-up 1:42:45 includes the teasers and trailers, the new "trilogy" announcement, and what we hope for the future!

Other News 02:05:19 including the potential of an Adam Driver-led F4, is followed by discussion of the recent trailers that premiered--mostly the Spider-Verse and the Marvels ones. Hype! Follow Kris Anka on Instagram @krisanka

Some light anime news 02:26:16 leads us finally into the finale episodes of the Mandalorian season 3 02:27:39, covering Guns for Hire, The Spies, and The Return! Mall Ninja Gideon, Din Grogu, Queer Longing, Clones, Westerns Tropes and more--there's just a lot of love in this discussion. And hopefully more next season!

I'll be back--guest host or not regardless--hopefully in another week talking more manga of the week, tarot studies, new shows and comics, and much more! It's a great time to be a nerd.

The past few weeks have been a lot, I won't lie. Nothing need to know, but life does get in the way at times and this was certainly one of those times. As always, and maybe in the spirit of the anime Shoujo Heroine, we will continue moving forward with time and continue to strive to do our best, whatever that may entail on a day-to-day basis.

Podcast notes to follow along with this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep92-mando-catch-up-ch2021-secret-invasion-blue-beetle-trailers-legacy-of-big-two-female-comic-creatives-more

One of the hard points recently was the news of the passing of celebrated geek, musician, actor and voice actor, Lance Reddick. The dust hasn't quite settled enough for the tribute I feel he is required, so I don't have it here on this episode. But he is due the respect of proper obituary on this podcast, so when we are ready, it will happen. In the meantime, if you have any stories of Lance, please feel free to share them wherever you can so I can add that to his tribute.

Starting with Tarot 06:41, I remembered this week to give the note on Divinatory Tarot and the Like that I meant to go over last week, and the full article it came from can be found here: http://hearingshofar.blogspot.com/2010/03/aries-shofar-at-pesach.html Card of the Week for our tarot lessons continuation is #5: the Hierophant. I have the description, symbolism, meanings and interpretation, plus a bit of history and some fun pop culture references!

Manga of the week 0:19:23 is, ironically, it turns out, Tokyo Demon Bride Story by TADAICHI NAKAMA! Ironic, because I also learned today that this is the last day of it's publication: the manga ends as of today, April 3rd. While it seems to have a fair amount of haters, I found it quite charming and entertaining. Tokyo Demon Bride story can be found on the Shonen Jump app.

Manga News for the week 22:26 includes the MyAnimeList Ultimate List of Manga Recommendations (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2023-03-31/myanimelist-releases-ultimate-list-of-manga-recommendations/.196585 ) as well as a number of other starts and finales.

Comic Book News 25:50 is a touch heavy this week, starting with the frankly ludicrous twitter debate of Comics vs Manga, and going into the sad truth of our female creators in comics, and how their legacies are sabotaged by the publishers who hired them. The discussion came from the following tweet: https://twitter.com/ComicBookHerald/status/1636013058890903553?s=20 . We also gave some time and thought to the legacy of Carol Danvers, and how the cancellation of her series at issue 50 is NOT a good decision for anyone involved, even so much as to relate to the previous point about female Big Two creators. Plus I have some King/Sampere Wonder Woman thoughts, which I don't think anyone will have an answer for until her landmark 800th issue.

I talk a bit about the kick-off's from 3/22 0:37:49 plus some of what was new this past week, 3/29. As always, this is only a tiny fraction of all comic releases each week, so be sure to contact your local comic purveyor for the full details on what you may be interested in! Comics are, as always, for everyone.

We get into the TV/MOVIES segement 0:41:31 ith what's New and Noteworthy lately, including Yellowjackets season 2, Wellmania, Unstable (wow, bit of trend here, eh?), School Spirits, and more. We're back to having a PROPER News/Announcements segment this week, starting with the RUMORS: 48:13, then MCU: 51:59 including the leaving of Victoria Alonso and Ike Perlmutter, Secret Invasion info and theories, the necessary mentioning of changes that may come to Loki season 2's cast, Liv Tyler's Betty Ross, and the casting of Wonder Man's brother, Grim Reaper. Then DCU: 1:03:16 talking Batman 2's villain, a certain unfortunate project, and of course, the Blue Beetle trailer! Big ups and downs in the pop culture news this week, for sure.

Anime News 1:06:58 has me talking Spring 2023 Lineup English Dubs (no dates! why no dates, Crunchyroll?) as well as new Anime and show announcements, including the Netflix Scott Pilgrim project, Konosuba, Re:Zero, Spy x Family, Girlfriend Girlfriend, and more!

Finally, I get caught up with where we're at with the Mandalorian season 3, talking chapters 20 and 21: the Foundling and the Pirate, respectively. From space pterodactyls to HOLY SHIT I forgot to finish talking about episode 21...ummmmm oops. I'll see if I remembe to talk about the Armorer + Bo Katan next week! heh. oops.

And that's it! happy to have you here. Please rate/like my episodes so they get seen by more listeners, and thank you as always for your support. Next week we'll talk card #6, the Lovers, plus a new Manga of the week, more shows and movies and Mando, more anime, and tons of fun, I hope.

You'll hear me mention the podcast notes for this episode a few times, which has more information and links to several interesting outside sources. This can all be found ad-free on my website: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/e91-who-is-the-convert-mando-ch19-comic-manga-and-anime-news-the-emperor-card-kaiju-girl-caramelise-and-more

In this last episode of Winter, the week's Tarot Lessons 0:04:00 cover the Card of the Week-- #4: The Emperor of the traditional Major Arcana. 

For Manga 00:16:57, the new Manga of the week is Kaiju Girl Caramelise by Spica Aoki! This sweet, still early-on series is heartwarming, wholesome, and only ever getting better. 

Manga News 0:23:53 features a numbers of announcements on new English releases coming through the year.

Comic Books 0:31:06 features what was New This Week, as well as Comic Book News and June Release Announcements 0:37:09, including the full DC Pride 2023 lineup, new Tom King series', and a fair amount of indie love. I also had o stop and talk about Purgatori some more 0:50:15, the new focus of the Halloween 2023 podcast special, who I hope I can make you all love as much as I immediately did. 

TV and Movies 0:53:54 begins with what is New and Noteworthy over the past week, incuding History of the World part 2, Class of '07 (Amazing!), Ted Lasso s3, making fun of Gotham Knights, and more. Only one announcement this week, if you can call it that 0:58:03; followed by another discussion of American Born Chinese (coming to Disney+ March 23rd!), including famed artist James Jean's thoughtful statement on the show and the artistic poster he created for it. 

The Anime segment  1:04:22 is almost entirely anime news, which is a lot of premier dates for the most part. I'm generally a dub watcher, so I love to see new English dubs being made, among all the rest of the news. 

OF course, we end it all with Mando Ep. 3 1:08:34 titled Chapter 19- the Convert! and just who IS this convert? Because there's more than one option, and I think it's clear based on my take here what convert I'm more excited for, and why! This IS the way, nerds. I love it. No ragerts. 

I'll be back next week with episode 92, covering the Hierophant tarot card and history, a new Manga of the week, all kinds of geeky news, a ton of comics talk, and more Mandalorian coverage! I can't wait.

I started today with a brief note on philosophy/psychology 0:03:07, due to an in-depth friend conversation I had about this Agnes Callard article https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/03/13/agnes-callard-profile-marriage-philosophy (CW for divorce, abortion, motherhood regret, relationships, etc) I'm curious what thoughts listeners might have to add.

This week's Tarot Studies 0:05:36 includes our new card of the week, #3 of the Major Arcana, The Empress! While I don't have so much history on this card per-se, I have some interesting insights that, oddly enough, tie into some more psychology, if just a bit. Plus some interesting and feminine connection to last week's High Priestess card!  Next week is #4, the Emperor!

The Manga segment 0:19:59 begins with our new Manga of the Week: Daily Report About my Witch Senpai, by Maka Mochida! We take these two sweet little slice-of-life volumes as a cooling off period after going hard last two week with Boys Over Flowers and the Wallflower. Followed by a good but of Manga News 0:22:52, which is a bit I'm still working on perfecting! Should I just report the ones I'm familiar with, or is continuing to look for more new and interesting things a good way to expand all our manga/anime knowledge?? ( I feel like I just answered my own question)

For Comic Books 0:30:03, we begin with what was NEW this week, arriving in shops March 8th! There's plentiful kick-off's to new series', both indie and "big-two." There are two bits of Comic Book News 0:37:30, one very positive, and one less so. Also, a short discussion of What Happened to Donny Cates? Please note I jest in good humor, please don't send me internet hate over a straight white man, lol. Then the past week's Recent Reads and Events 0:42:12 includes more Lazarus Planet after-shocks, including that awful (awfully cheese-ball) Batman v Robin ending, two Stephanie Phillips kick-offs, and a Stephanie Phillips finale (her Harley Quinn run), plus more!

For whatever reason, I've been wanting to go back and finish Mark Millar and Stuart Immonen's Empress (2016; 7-issues), so I decided to make it a feature on this episode 0:54:35. Only when I was doing this write-up did I realize that it was perfect timing, alongside this week's tarot study of the Empress card. Ha! anyway. I give a little summary, but my full summary is on the linked podcast notes.

Which brings us to the TV/Movies segment 01:00:34, starting as usual with what was New (to me, at least) and Noteworthy over the past week or so, plus some exciting announcements that includes the screen adaptation of The Good Asian, the 2022 Eisner Award Winner for best Limited Series! And for damn good reason. There's a bit of Anime news 1:06:05, then finally...

Mandalorian season 3 episode 2, Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore. Folks, it's spoiler city here, and probably isn't a good segment for your kids to overhear, cause this bitch got EXCITED. If you thought I got too sweaty last week, it's in a whole new universe on this one, babyyyyyy! But, I mean, if you watched it, you get it, right? Right?!

Come back next week for the 81st episode! The Emperor in Tarot, more MANDO, a new Manga of the Week, exciting new comic reads, and always so much more! Keep it sweaty, folks, It's better that way.

So about this late upload.....oops? Episode 90 still coming tomorrow, the 9th!

Podcast notes for various things referenced: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep89-mando-s3-apostate-the-wallflower-quantumania-steven-yeun-sentry-heckboy-more-news-lazarus-planet-wrap-up

Starting off the week with Tarot Studies 0:04:14, and this week's Card of the Week, #2: the High Priestess. Interestingly, the history of the High Priestess is quite different than that of the Magician last week, in that there are a number of real world conspiracies tied into the card's origin. Plus the three character connection from the Marvel Tarot (2007--and in need of an update, tbh), as well as the High Priestess' character archetype from the Anime Tarot! As this is the first episode of March, I also have a new Tarot Deck of the Month 0:24:17, which for March is the Pagan Cats Tarot, aka Tarot of Pagan Cats! Delightful, artistic, and so creative!

The Manga segment 0:26:50 has our very in-depth Manga of the Week: The Wallflower (aka Perfect Girl Evolution)! Also having run as a delightful and popular 25-episode anime, the Wallflower was one of my first manga I read as a teen, and like last week's Boys Over Flowers, will always hold a special place in my heart. Check out the connecting Podcast Notes to see how much I DIDN'T include in the podcast, but is still all there in my write-up! Endless information; I wasn't lying when I said I love this one! That leads into a decent list of New and Continuing Manga for this new month of March 0:40:50, which again, has a much more in-depth version on the written notes linked above.

Once again, the Comic Books segment 0:44:09 starts with what's new and interesting in March, from a variety of publishers, as well as releases I'm just generally looking forward to. After that is the New Comics This Week list--which I feel like I have to casually remind you is only a small portion of all weekly comic releases! Check out your local comic shop or online retailer for a full list of what releases for comics each week.

The Recent Comic Reads & Events 0:50:49 segment includes the wrap-up of DC Comics' Lazarus Planet event, which officially ended with Lazarus Planet Omega, but will have further impact down the road, and I'll be keeping up with those aftershocks, as well! Other reads I talk about include, honestly, a handful of things I was underwhelmed by, but I promise that will change with the next podcast episode's comics section, as there is always more to look forward to!

The final segment is TV/MOVIES 01:00:45! Starting off with some New and Noteworthy releases and watches, including Outer Banks and Make My Day. We have an amount of very interesting "announcements lite," 01:01:52 such as Steven Yeun's Thunderbolts villain role, the new Pretty-Boy-Hellboy, Something is Killing the Children's going to Netflix, and more, plus some minor rumors. There were two somewhat noteworthy trailers 01:07:04 put out last week, including Peter Pan and Wendy, and the Haunted Mansion, both of which get a mention. Anime News and Updates 01:08:53 is mostly my current watch-list and things that I'm enjoying this season.

The main event is the shows! Beginning with a little bit on the surprising (to me) Mayfair Withes Finale 01:09:30 before getting into the excitement of Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 1 01:11:35, titled Chapter 17: the Apostate. We get into easter eggs, references, the trilogy of trilogies (I'm talking about prequels, originals, and sequels), plus Book of Boba, and the Clone Wars and Rebels animated shows, because it's all involved here! We're getting peak Star Wars, and yes I know how that sounds! Reign it in, Anna. I just really love Star Wars. And this is getting sweatyyyyy.

Aaaand then I Finally watched Quantumania 01:22:26, and I can't say I disagree with many of the naysayers. It was....not great. MCU Fatigue central, anyone? And BOY, Bill Murray does not sit well with me anymore, jeez. The whole thing was just a little.....it was a lot. Yeah. But not all bad! I had things I liked, to be fair, so that's all discussed.

Come back later this week for episode 90! Including the 18th Chapter of the Mandalorian, a new Manga of the week and tarot card lesson, comics news, and more! PLUS: a special look at Mark Millar and Stuart Immonen's EMPRESS (2016)! All that and more! Keep it sweaty, folks.

In a complete 180 from last year's "Toxic Comics Romance" special, we now feature the undisputed BEST couple in comics, Barda and Scott Free: Big Barda and Mister Miracle.

Podnotes to follow along: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/romance-yancy-st-spec-big-barda-and-mister-miracle-dc-comics-bardas-history-jack-kirbys-fourth-world-darkseid-is-more

Barda Reading Summary: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/big-bardabarda-free-appearances-reading-list

I have an intense love for Big Barda/Barda Free. She was the first comic character I ever began an appearance profile on, and one of the first I ever did extensive contextual research on. Therefore, for the first half of this podcast, we'll be focusing almost entirely on Barda herself, with explanations, stories from the comics, and other context given throughout the whole episode!

ON BARDA: 0:03:06, starting with Barda Keys Comic Issues (not a ton!).

Alternate Versions 0:11:24

Available Statues and Action Figures 0:20:55

Then we get more in-depth into the stories and history, starting with Barda's Creation (By Jack Kirby) 0:22:42

Her Abilities 0:25:27; Personality 0:29:56; Outfits and Appearance Through the years 00:36:47; Teams 0:44:25; and Relationships 0:49:38.

On Cecil Castellucci's Female Furies, which I recommend to everyone: 1:06:01

Then at last, Couple History! 01:13:54 Starting with Jack Kirby's Fourth World; Scott and Barda's Origins; and life Post-Marriage.

Relationship Points of Interest 01:16:47, including the following factors, explained: their marriage breaks common stereotypes; their open attraction to one another; Their Love; a Healthy Duality! and on being separate, together.

That brings us into Modern History, with Tom King and Mitch Gerads' Mister Miracle 01:24:40 (2017-2019); and the failed Tom King/Ava Duvernay New Gods film project 1:28:56 (I cry).

Finally, Where does that leave Barda and her Boo in 2023? 01:29:57 And let me know your take!

And last, an explanation on Darkseid Is. 01:33:53.

Follow along with the notes for this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep88-leiji-matsumoto-tribute-history-of-the-magician-the-iconic-boys-over-flowers-dc-flash-trailer-mcu-fatigue-jsa-more

We start off this week with an Obituary (00:07:35) for late, great, and legendary manga creator Leiji Matsumoto. Fans and professionals alike from all kinds of art and storytelling communities had a lot to say about his man's important legacy. This had to be followed up by something lighter (0:18:44), so we have a fun live-size Gundam update!

This week's Tarot Studies (00:21:73) covers the next card of the Major Arcana: #1, the Magician! This card has some interesting and surprising history, much of which is quite different than how we view it today. For the history page I discuss in this segment, go here: https://tarot-heritage.com/from-trionfi-to-majorarcana/from-il-bagatto-to-the-magician/ and be sure t come back next week for the lesson on #2, the High Priestess!

Our Manga segment (00:36:47) contains the new Manga of the Week, for which I proudly present Boys Over Flowers, by Yoko Kamio! A highly formative story for myself personally, I was particularly excited to share Hana Yori Dango with the podcast listeners. Best selling shojo manga of all time, gang gang

(does anyone get that reference?)

The segment for Comic Books (00:50:38) starts with some brief May solicitation highlights for the "Big-Two," including what comes new that month, and some light (and frankly necessary) Marvel bashing. Don't miss the Month of March Comic Book Look-Ahead next week, where I'll be talking about what is new and/or exciting from ALL publishers this coming month! New Comic Books This Week (Feb. 21st-22nd, 00:54:08) are covered quickly, with a plethora of indie kick-offs! Recent Reads/Events (01:03:25) includes a fairly in-depth catch-up for the first two issues of Justice Society of America, which I find myself far more into than I expected!

Finally, for the TV/Movies segment (01:13:41), I go over what's new and noteworthy, including some notes on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the adjoining MCU Fatigue. It's mostly Deadpool 3 in News/Announcements (01:22:51), and the only trailer discussed (01:24:31) is the upcoming Flash movie from DC--which I'm sure everyone has thoughts about, so let me hear yours! Last is Anime News (01:29:58) and my own personal current list, again. What are you watching this season, and what are your personal hidden gem shows?

That's all folks! Come back next week for more Tarot lessons, a new Manga of the Week, March comic book previews, and depending on the day I record, the first episode of Mandalorian season 3 reviewed! Sweat it out, in the meantime, and keep it cool.

I'm particularly excited about this episode, because I'm taking my first real steps into the new segments I have planned, so please give any feedback you have! 

Link to this episode's podcast notes to follow along (including referenced links): http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep87-tarots-0-fool-witch-watch-dark-web-goblin-queen-supreme-spider-man-noir-cunk-on-earth-purgatori-love-more

Tarot Lessons this week 0:08:52 starts our deep dive into the 22 cards of the traditional Major Arcana, starting with this episode's #0, the Fool. I go through descriptions from official reference sources as well as meanings gathered in my own study notes, as well as other depiction and variation of the Fool, a tiny bit of history of the card, and of course, the Natasha Yglesias Anime Tarot archetypes, still an excellent and fun teaching tool! And to add some spice, I also go into some light pop culture references to the Fool card that can be found, too!

Our Manga segment 0:29:42 focuses mostly on our new Manga of the Week: Witch Watch, by Kenta Shinohara! J'adore! And I hope you enjoy it, too. I have a little Manga News 0:38:57 that I'm still working on finding my footing for the weekly episodes, so bear with me as I settle on a design I like, and let  me know what you want more of.

The Comic Books segment 0:44:26 features what's new in shops this week, with a few golden keys to be sure to grab. Previous weeks' Recent Reads and Event catch-up 0:53:47 features summary of Dark Web: Finale, Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1; Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn, DC's Harley Quinn's Romances, DC Power: A Celebration, Purgatori Must Die! #2, and All Against All #1 & 2, which might be my favorite from the bunch.

In TV/Movies 01:11:38, we talk New and Noteworthy (including the illustrious Cunk on Earth and the surprising Shrinking); in Announcements 01:15:46 there's the now-usual DCU nonsense, and the brand new announcement of Amazon's live-action Spider-Man Noir show project! For Anime 01:21:26, there's a bit of news on Demon Slayer season 3 before my own show updates, as I continue to search for a new hidden gem to take me by storm. As for Current Shows 01:25:54, I only have a few things to say on the Bad Batch season 2 so far, but that REDACTED was WILD and I want MORE Star Wars like THAT!

That's all folks! Have a happy Valentine's/Lupercalia, however you choose to do so, and be sure to check back next week for a new episode covering Tarot's car #1, The Magician, a new Manga of the Week, more comic books, more news and theories, and a ton of fun for you and me both! Get sweaty unabashedly this week, friends.

Blessed Imbolc, friends! It felt appropriate, so I begin this week's episode with “The Way It Is,” by William Stafford, which was recently shared with me by a friend. I hope you enjoy it, too!

Link to read along with this episode's Podcast Notes (including in-episode-referenced links): http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep86-the-dcu-lineup-tarot-history-my-dress-up-darling-february-comics-sins-of-sinister-explained-anime-watch-list-more

The episode proper begins with News, including the obituary for Lisa Loring, the original Wednesday Addams from the 1960's TV show. She led a unique life, and I hope her children and grandchildren find comfort in the successful legacy her portrayal of Wednesday left behind.

Next in News is some chat about Disney's Dreamlight Valley game, specifically the latest updates that were announced 0:15:37. I've been ridiculously hooked on this game, and am excited to see what content they put out this year!

Also announced this week was the "Final Season" of Attack on Titan 0:21:24, which might feel like deja vu, and for good reason! all explained here.

Of course, I am going over the newly announced DCU Slate 0:24:35, too. How could I not? I have a good deal of insight on a number of these projects, and would LOVE to hear what others think of the announcements and limited details that were provided! Chat away in the discord, linked below!

This week continues part two of our Tarot Studies 0:52:14, moving along this week with a fairly general History of Tarot, which covers a number of historical identities and moments in the cultural relevance of the decks. The Major Arcana is introduced 1:05:54, and then so is the Deck of the Month for February 1:10:08 : Modern Witch Tarot Deck by Lisa Sterle (with an introduction by Vita Ayala). If you recognize those names, it's because they're both pretty heavily involved in the comic boo world, too! I love it when hobbies/interests collide.

In our Manga segment 1:14:22, this week's Manga of the Week is My Dress Up Darling by Shinichi Fukuda! I have a deep love of both the manga and anime; this was chosen because volume 7 of the English edition is arriving in stores the day I am posting this episode, and as of me writing this summary, I already finished reading it! Sad face, but also -- it was so goooood! We've officially passed where the anime has run to so far. There is even a little Manga News 01:20:59 at the end of the segment, with one or two updates and a little gushing over Witch Watch, my current ShonenJump app obsession!

For the Comic Books segment 01:22:41, I go over what is new and interesting (IMO) this week, as well as what to look forward to in comic releases over the rest of the month! In the previous week's Picks/Reads as well as catch-up reading coverage 01:27:30, I go over a brief explanation of Marvel's Sins of Sinister mini-event, update the latest for Lazarus Planet at DC, and have a few other fun ones to share!

Finally, the Shows & Movies segment 01:35:34 kicks off for 2023 with what has been New and Noteworthy since the last 2022 episode, and the list is quite varied! I have limited coverage of Trailers that have premiered since 2022 as well 01:42:25, because frankly it is a LOT, and we can talk more about those projects as they get closer to premiering. My new ANIME section 01:44:53 h as a lot to cover, including what I've been watching in my spare time, what I've currently got on my simulcast (sort of) watch list, even including things I'm still on the fence for. And last, I speak just a minute or two on Teen Titans season 4 01:49:21, and how part 1 ended.

And that's the week! Next week will feature a lot of the same, but updated, including our first Tarot Card Lesson proper, covering the first card in the Major Arcana, the Fool. More comics, more sweatiness, and more celebration of life, coming next week! in the meantime, check out my (very much in-progress) reading summary for Big Barda, co-star of the coming Valentine's Day romance podcast special!

I'm back! It feels right. Things are going to be slightly different, but we'll work our way through it together. An you bet your butt I'm addressing Madelyne Pryor in Dark Web...

Read the podnotes for this episode or follow along: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep85-the-comeback-comics-rundown-manga-news-anime-tarot-2022-wrap-up-2023-preview-wakanda-forever-review 

Unchanged is starting off with some basic news, including my own personal life 0:12:23 and what I've been up to over this break. Unfortunately it does also include an Obit section, mainly focusing on the late, great Kevin Conroy 0:16:54.A smattering of rumors go alongside some news proper 0:23:47, which is mainly focused, at this point, on the curious mess over there at Warner's DCEU. Lots of thoughts, not a lot of actual movement on their side. 

Then we come into the Manga/Anime segment 0:32:26, with our manga of the week spotlight on CAT + GAMER by Wataru Nadatani. It's a delightful and funny slice of life story that I recommend to all reader, cat lovers, and/or gamers! And only two volumes out in English, coming from Dark Horse.

I have just a little Manga Release Info for 2023 0:40:31, more of which can be found at the following links:- https://otakucalendar.com/Release - https://animecollective.com/new-manga-2023/

The newest segment of the podcast is Tarot 0:44:14. Don't leave just because of that! I have a perspective on tarot and oracle cards that will work for ANYONE! If what I have to say doesn't convince you, try this https://www.reddit.com/r/tarot/comments/9f17xj/any_nonspiritual_tarot_practicers_here/ While I'll be doing (Major Arcana) Card of the Week soon, this week we just have my Intro to Tarot and Tarot/Oracle in 2023 segments 0:50:53. More next week!

So much Comic Books! 0:54:22I have a VERY brief rundown of the following comic book categories: Best of 2022; 2022 wrap up; 2023 preview; and a FCBD 2023 preview--which we'll cover more than just titles from as we get closet to May 6th!

New in This Week's Comics 1:02:24 isn't too long, but it's followed by the massive and much  needed Comic Book Catch-Up, covering my recent reads over this break. It starts with the end of Judgment Day and Dark Crisis 1:06:47, then gives an explanation of events-so-far for Dark Web and Lazarus Planet 1:17:59.

...on Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen:

• https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/justiceformadelynepryor-may-yancy-street-special-full-character-history-roles-true-origins-future-and-more
• https://open.spotify.com/episode/6aPZbsbyd2yvH26zVrpiJi?si=VT-EPzoURqSGw-3iGORnQg

More fun reads I cover include 1:25:15 Harley Quinn, Hexware, Dark Knights of Steel, Grim, Earthdivers, and more, before m y extensive Vampirella vs Red Sonja #1-3 1:40:17 coverage. What can I say, I LOVE this one! 10/10, all Vampi/Sonja fans must read. Then we get back to the others at 1:47:34 for a quick reading wrap-up.

Finally, and at long last, is my Wakanda Forever Review/Breakdown 1:56:40. This movie was a lot, for a lot of different reasons, and I very much enjoyed it. Easter eggs, background, and explanations given as needed. 

I'll be back next week to cover the rest of the TV/Movies/Trailer/other visual media, since my voice is already killing me today! Two hours of recording will do that to you. Have a wonderful week, stay warm, and hope to see you next time!

Welcome to the Halloween 2022 Yancy Street Special! Who is Marvel's Satana? How has she evolved over the years? Why is Chris Claremont to blame for her bastardization? These answers and so much more, coming your way!

Text to go along with the podcast: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/satana-hellstrom-the-devils-daughter-satanic-panic-seduction-of-the-innocent-the-comics-code-full-character-history

Image Post: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/satana-the-devils-daughter-the-image-post

This podcast proudly contains far more information on Satana than any single one of her wiki or fan pages, so I'm pleased and excited to share it with the world.

On that note: some CW for sexual assault, violence against women, topics of heaven and hell, extreme personal loss, murder, attempted fratricide, sacrifice, satanic panic, classic horror tropes, general violence and lewdness, etc.

The special starts with a little necessary Background, including Horrosploitation, Dr. Fredric Wertham's 1954 Seduction of the Innocent, and the implementation of the Comics Code Authority. We then continue the timeline into the eventual relaxation of the code in 1971, and the ensuing horror trends of the 1960's-80's.

With that context in mind, we can begin talking Satana, starting with her (admittedly few) Key Comics: 0:16:44

Her various Aliases and names she's been called through the years, plus when it happened: 0:19:45

The Hellstrom Extended Family, which spread across multiple species and still holds a fair amount of mystery: 0:20:47

Satana's complete Teams and Teammates: 0:27:17

Her Allies, specifically those who are not teammates: 0:31:12

Love Interests, of course, which is surprisingly minor: 32:27

And then her Enemies, I'm sure fewer than you might expect: 0:33:21

Satana's Outfits/Physical Appearance, which has vastly changed through the years, and my breakdown of those changes: 0:37:34

Her half-demon Succubus Powers: 0:40:50

Alternate Reality/Format Versions of Satana: 0:42:38

And finally, her whole life and comic History: 0:45:22, including but not limited to the following categories: Early life; Turn for the Better, Turn for the Worst; the Basilisk; Death for Doctor Strange; Resurrection; Occultist for Hire, Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers; Between Time; All-New, All-Different Hell (and more Vegas, Baby!); and finally, her most recent appearances in Captain Marvel.

I wrap up this special with a finale I worked to put all of what I've learned and discovered into account, which I'm calling, simply, Satana's Duality: 1:08:20. It is my desire that listeners who get this far might be inspired to also care about the character of Satana, and we can see more of her in the comics, properly, again.

Welcome to another episode of Sensational She-Geek, Live from Yancy Street! Podcast Notes to follow along with this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep84-titans-s4-brother-blood-coven-of-chaos-and-wonder-man-castings-dark-knights-of-steel-manga-spotlight-etc

News this week is starting with a bunch of casting updates (0:09:43), including Coven of Chaos, Wonder Man, and Across the Spier-Verse (0:25:57). Project updates includes a shocker for the live-action Hercules, Sandman, The Last of Us (HBO), and Netflix' Gears of Wars universe! The rumor of the week comes from Tom Holland's Spider-Man (0:35:20)!

This week's Spotlight Manga (0:36:56) is Way of the Househusband by Kousuke Oono! There is also included a little bit of manga news. 

Last week's comic book Picks (0:40:21) include joy, disappointment, and confusion, spread across a variety of publishers Pick of the week: Dark Knights of Steel #8! Disappointment of the week: Bendis' The Ones #1. But there's always more! Pulls for this, the week of November 9th, (0:51:22) include more amazing indie kick-offs, because this is a GREAT Autumn to get into non-superhero comics!

Finally, the DC Titans Season 4 Premier really snuck up on me, but we got it covered (0:54:51), including explanations on the comic counterparts of Brother Blood, Mother Mayhem, Trigon, the Church of Blood, Gar and the Red, Raven and her White Form, and so much more! This show has really paid off for long-time viewers. 

Make sure to listen to the October Yancy Street Special, Satana and Horror Comics Explored! Other than that, I'll be back next week for a regular episode cover Titans Season 4, episode 3, more comics, more news, and more manga!

The weather is cooling down, but I'm just getting sweatier each week on the podcast! Podnotes to follow along with this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep83-the-future-of-doctor-who-reed-richards-speculation-the-great-jahy-judgment-day-dc-film-news-and-more 

In news this week, we're talking Rihanna's return with Lift Me Up (0:12:29), the new co-heads of DC Films (0:16:46),  a small update for The Batman's Arkham Asylum spinoff (0:23:41), the major changes for the HBO Green Lantern Series (0:25:00), news about the Witcher season 4 (0:29:12), the Future of Doctor Who (0:31:28), a new WandaVision Spinoff (0:38:41), Secret Invasion series news (0:41:54), and news about the upcoming Venom 3 (0:44:35).

I also go over some highlights from the January Big-Two comics solicitations (0:49:30), as well as what kick-offs, first issues, #1's and one-shots are coming in the month of November!

The Spotlight Manga for the week (0:52:48) is The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated, by Wakame Konbu, which is also my Halloween costume! There's only 3 volumes out in English so far, with the fourth coming later this month, so now is a great time to jump in!

This week's comic picks (0:56:42) includes the finale of Marvel's Judgement Day, and the coming week's Pulls (1:06:51) are fill with indie starters! This fall is an amazing time to get into indie comics, specifically. There's something coming  for everyone!

Finally, I go through the events of the Power of the Doctor (1:14:20) Doctor Who episode, Jodie Whittaker's final as the 13th doctor. With a lot of changes supposedly coming to the show starting next fall, there's a lot of be discussed and fondly remembered. 

I'll be back with episode 84 next week (and to talk that Wonder Man news!), but keep an eye out this Friday the 4th for my Halloween Yancy Street Special, covering the character Satana, plus 1970's horror exploitation trends, the Comics Code, Satanic Panic, Seduction of the Innocent, and more factors that went into and still do go into horror comics and characters today!

After taking a brief break to settle in to my new schedule, I'm back with a loaded baked potato of an episode this week! Podnotes to follow along with this episode at your leisure: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep82-rings-of-power-finale-mephisto-rumors-superman-red-hulk-quantumania-majorskendrick-appreciation-she-hulk-finale

The News begins (0:06:05) with some recent "IRL" tidbits, before getting into the juicy rumors, aka Sacha Baron Cohen 13:05 possibly playing Mephisto in Iron Heart! Plus some good Blade Director rumors, too! If you haven't heard it yet, Henry Cavill IS back in Black Adam (0:19:13), Harrison Ford IS the new Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (0:21:50), and Barbarella (0:29:01) has been cast as Sidney Sweeney!

Unfortunately, the live-action Zatanna (0:31:15) project was pushed off of HBO, but I feel like it's a good thing Marvel has a movie slow-down (34:39), pushing back a number of MCU films. Then there's Matt Reeves Batman (0:38:30) villains plans! Fianlly, my thoughts on the (FINALLY) Quantumania Trailer (0:40:56), and brief note of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (0:48:09), coming November 15th.

This week's spotlight manga is none other than Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (49:48), by Coolkyousinnjya, creator of I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying and Komori-san Can't Decline. This one is a manga AND anime, is full of girl love, and I can't recommend it enough!

A handful of comics Picks (0:57:21) from the past few weeks prelude this week's comic Pulls (1:00:14), which includes an impressive amount of indie kick-offs! It's a great time to get into indie comics, for real.

I admit I have a less-than-pleased She-Hulk Finale review (1:04:44), but almost definitely for reasons you won't expect. If we get a season two, I hope the (new?) showrunners allow SOMETHING of the comics to have an influence on the plot or characters. Something. Anything.

But in greater news, the Rings of Power Finale 1:12:20 was even better than I was hoping! The Harfoots! Halbrand! The Stranger! The Witches? Galadriel! Celebrimbor! SAURON! This was such a satisfyingly watch, changes be-damned. I loved this, and I'm super excited for the next four seasons!

The Halloween Yancy Street Special should be out within the week, on Satana, otherwise keep an eye out for episode 83, coming at the turn of the month!

Hello and welcome back! 

News, brief discussions of Hellraiser 2022, Werewolf by Night, and the latest episode of House of the Dragon. My first Manga Spotlight segment, covering volume 1 of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (12:15). 

Coverage for NYCC 2022 includes (16:53) Show and Movie Updates, Trailers, and clips (18:13), DC Comics announcements (28:02), and then Marvel Comics (32:39) news.

While I'm skipping picks for the week, this week's Pulls (40:29) of comics out this week of the 12th include a great deal of fun issues across many different publishers. 

The penultimate She-Hulk episode, 50:59 episode 8, was titled Ribbit and Rip It, an featured none other than Matt Murdock, Daredevil! A un episode, but there are still questions. Here's the referenced Collider article: https://collider.com/she-hulk-intelligencia-scariest-mcu-villain/

Finally, Rings of Power episode 7 (1:06:13) was the penultimate for that series, as well, and most of what we have now is questions. Who is anyone?!?

I'll be back with more comics and culture next week, covering the finales of She-Hulk and Rings of Power, and more sweaty comic content!

This episode is full of exciting news, speculation, and more, so stick around! Podcast notes to read along with this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep80-wakanda-forever-trailer-werewolf-by-night-the-last-airbender-6seasonsandamovie-rings-of-power-udun-more

There is a LOT of News this go round, starting off with discussion of Werewolf By Night, premiering this Friday, October 7th, on Disney+. I talk cast and characters, comic origins, and the future of the MCU as we know it! There's also a brief "This Month (October) In Comics" (0:11:24), going over some highlights for various publishers across the coming month. The latest trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (0:17:03) had a good deal to unravel, but it's only making me more excited for November's movie! Then there's the announcement of Wolverine in Deadpool 3 (0:30:24), and what it might mean; Community's prophecy (0:33:06) of Six Seasons and a Movie; and Sony's announcement of their "modern" Tarzan (0:38:03). But wait, there's more! Netflix's live-action Avatar show casting announcements (0:39:03) bring an enormously exciting group of Asian stars to our screens, and finally, MCU news by way of Blade Movie Updates (0:45:50), and an update on the Armor Wars project.

Comic book Picks (0:49:25) from the week of September 28th are fairly brief, followed by this week's comic book Pulls (0:54:28) for the week of October 5th. I could never cover everything that comes out each week or month, so be sure to check out your local comic retailers to see what other suggestions they may have for you.

The latest episode of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (Ep. 7 1:05:58), the Retreat, was definitely a step in the right direction, but two episodes out from the finale, still leaves me with a frustrating amount of questions. Not plot questions, mostly, just....why they made certain decisions, creatively. I'm curious ho these points are settling with other viewers.

Finally, saving potentially the most exciting for last, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power episode 6 (1:17:38) discussion is FULL of episode spoilers, theories, questions, and general happiness about this show! Two more episodes here, too, so check back for coverage as they come out!

Be sure to listen to the September Yancy Street Special, out later this week, featuring DC Comics' Green Lantern, Jessica Cruz! I hope you learn to love her as much as I do. Until next time, have a fantastic week of this fall season! Keep it sweaty.

Happy Fall, y'all! Let's get into it. Podcast Notes for following along this episode: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep79-the-last-of-us-namor-born-again-speculation-she-hulk-attorney-at-law-rings-of-power-show-updates-and-easter-eggs 

For this week's news (0:05:40), I cover the Last of Us show trailer, the Doom Patrol season four announcement (0:13:06), Keanu Reeves' Constantine movie sequel (0:18:35), Namor News in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (0:24:09), and speculation based around Daredevil: Born Again show casting (0:28:47).

Comic Book Picks (0:32:44) from the week of the 21st feature both highs and lows, and the comic book pulls (0:43:44) for this week are organized by publisher. 

The latest episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was episode 6 (0:56:07), and put me in a weird place mentally about the show. You can check in here to hear my full arguments, but I'm frankly disappointed by what we've seen so far.

On the other hand, Rings of Power Ep's 1-5 are also discussed, with much more excitement. There's no grand summary of events of each episode, it's more observations, Easter eggs, and noteworthy moments. Full disclosure: I'm LOVING this one. 

Finally, I get around to talking the Harley Quinn season 3 finale (1:18:10), and what might be coming in season 4. Long Live Harley Quinn! On that note, check out the stories in her 30th Anniversary by Sejic, Garcia, and Dini! Top tier, IMO.

I'll be back this coming week for more talk of comics, pop culture, and shows to discuss! Keep an eye out for the September Yancy Street Special, coming next week on Jessica Cruz, DC Comics' Green Lantern!

After taking a few weeks off, we're back! And just in time for the start of Autumn. Podcast Notes for this episode to "read along:" http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep78-the-return-she-hulk-catch-up-star-wars-and-dc-productions-news-cavill-rumors-doctor-who-and-more 

This episode's News begins with a few personal notes, before getting into the good news about Brendan Fraser in the Whale (0:11:21), then a few points of Star Wars (0:14:31), including the new Princess and the Scoundrel book and a sad note about Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron. DC News includes the Harley Quinn Show (0:18:40) and a DC Productions Update, plus more Henry Cavil Rumors (0:23:32), a bit on Doctor Who (0:27:54), and of course, the Weird Al trailer. 

Coverage of this year's D23 Expo (0:33:17) is broken down into sections for the Trailers, General News, then Lucasfilms News (0:41:34) and MCU News! 

Since the long break, we have comic book Picks covering the weeks of the 31st, the 7th, and the 14th (0:51:06), and comic book pulls for this week, that of the 21st, follow (1:05:58).

Finally, while I have a number of shows to do catch-up coverage of, this episode features the missed She Hulk: Attorney At Law (1:15:32) episodes, #'s three, four, and five. don't miss the sixth this week, out on Thursday the 22nd! This is out of nine total episodes, so we're starting to see the finish line. 

That's all for this week, keep checking back for more show and comic updates in the comic week!

The News on this episode kicks off with the delightful announcement of a "Photon" Monica Rambeau comic series (0:06:45), coming this December! That's followed by talk of the Umbrella Academy season four, and news on not one but two unrelated King Kong projects! I readdress the Batgirl movie situation (0:28:19) as we know it, along with some other DC film delays, and a little info on a meeting regarding the future of their Flashpoint movie. House of the Dragon episode 2 (0:36:24) is briefly discussed, and the News wraps up with some relevant and exciting highlights to look forward to in the month of September (0:39:43), including events, upcoming announcements, and new writers for the Avengers AND Fantastic Four series! Plus, be sure to check out the link below on November comics! Preorders are due in to your local comic shop by September 18th.

Comic Book Picks (0:45:38) for the week of the 24th had a ton of great indie material to cover, plus another issue of Judgement Day, and wonderful Caitlin Yarsky interiors of Olympus: Rebirth! This week's Comic Book Pulls (0:53:28) coming out this last week of August are much lighter on the indie end, but have some very exciting DC ladies' Annuals, and the premier of the new Thunderbolts team!

I go over She-Hulk ep. 2, titled Superhuman Law (0:58:09) in full, focusing more this week on comic references (who was Pug?) and Easter eggs, not to mention theories on where Jen is going to take the big case from here! Make sure to check out the She-Hulk Companion Special, as well, which features over two-and-a-half hours of absolutely everything you ever wondered about Marvel's Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk!

Finally, I briefly go over Harley Quinn Ep. 7 (1:13:08), titled Another Sharkley Adventure. It was a particularly ridiculous episode, dare I say filler? But left me excited to see more, as usual. 

Next week will bring episode 78, covering the news, the comics, al the usual goodies, but also pre-D23 Expo coverage, and the convention will be happening that weekend!

Welcome to the August Yancy Street Special: the She-Hulk Companion! The culmination of months of research on Jennifer Walters of Marvel Comics. Let's jump right in!

To better follow along, and for links referenced in this episode, check out the podcast notes for this special, linked [here], and this episode's Image Post is Here!

*Note: this special is chock-full of information, and will therefore be often referencing itself as I go along. The usual links to jump to specific sections of the podcast are in the description, but be advised that this has been put together with the intention of being listened to in full, front to back.

Starting off, we have the obvious questions of "Why are we doing this?/Why was she created?" (0:03:29), followed by information on her First Appearance and Key Comic Issues.

Jen's She-Hulk Series' and major features through the years (0:08:28) and One-shots!

Her Characterization (0:24:45) Then versus Now, including the duality of She-Hulk, controversies surrounding John Byrne and (on a lesser scale) Dan Slott, and on a better note, the characterization of Jennifer Walters: Legal Eagle.

Jen and She-Hulk's powers & abilities (0:42:49), which is followed by her roles and occupations.

All of her different forms of physical appearance (0:48:28), then her costumes/fashion through the years, including in all of those different forms!

The illusive tie with Jen and the Immortal Hulks (0:56:19), followed by other aliases & nicknames, bases of operations, alternate realities' She-Hulk's, and then related characters.

Jen's relationships (1:14:11), including family, friends and allies, love interests, and of course, her enemies.

She-Hulk's (and Jen's) team affiliations (1:37:32) through the years...

Jennifer Walters' FULL character history (1:45:27) and appearances as She-Hulk...

A few more personal notes (2:04:09), including things I noticed while doing all this research, clip from an essay of sorts I wrote on Jen and Carol a few years back (which can be found here), and the question of why IS Jen's She-Hulk designed as so much smaller than Bruce's? Spoiler alert: there isn't really a firm answer to that one, whoops!

…and finally, some She-Hulk: Attorney At Law show predictions (2:11:58), including characters we might see, and my full rundown of the first episode (as taken from Yancy St. Ep. 76). Be sure to check in to Episode 77 of the regular podcast to hear about episode 2's comic references and ensuing speculation!

Welcome welcome!   This week's News is surprisingly positive, and I'll take it! Adding in a bit about the fantastic Lee Pace's marriage announcement, this week the news focuses on confirmation of Matt Reeves' Batman future, the latest on the Red Sonja movie, and last week's super-fun Wednesday Trailer! Also, House of the Dragon ep.1 premiered Sunday on HBO, which is briefly discussed here, but jury is still out barfing in the bathroom after that unnecessarily Saw-like sequence...   This week's comic book Picks 0:20:54 are from the week of Wednesday the 17th. My picks of the week are (in more or less order) Flavor Girls #2 (LOOOVE), Seven Sons #3, Daredevil #2, New Mutants 28, and Strange #5, among others.  Meanwhile, this week's comic book Pulls 0:35:33 include the return of Damage Control, Caitlin Yarsky on the Olympus: Rebirth one-shot, Chip Zdarsky's Public Domain #3, Sins of the Black Flamingo #3, Grim #4, and more! Once again, we truly are in a Golden Era of Indie Comics.   The latest from the Harley Quinn Show's Ep 6 45:03, titled Joker: The Killing Vote, has a brief section talking easter eggs and Killing Joke references, but the main event comes at the end:   She-Hulk: Attorney at Law 48:38 episode 1 coverage! Including summary of events, theories, comic references, speculation, and more! ALSO: Be sure to check out the August Yancy Street Special podcast: The She-Hulk Companion! Covering 42 years of Jennifer Walters history, everything I could possibly research and report! The episode is posted right after this one, linked here: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-4zduc-12a7910 

That's it this week! Until next time, my message for you this week is that you can be critical of a system that you're also forced to take part in. And be kind.  On Matt Reeves' Batman: https://deadline.com/2022/08/the-batman-matt-reeves-warner-bros-film-television-overall-deal-the-penguin-1235096315/  On Red Sonja updates: https://deadline.com/2022/08/red-sonja-film-casts-matilda-lutz-wallis-day-robert-sheehan-1235098151/  She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Merch: https://www.marvel.com/articles/gear/shop-marvel-must-haves-she-hulk-episode-1  Variety Article Spurring my Theory: https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/she-hulk-steve-rogers-virginity-cut-scenes-1235342096/

Better late than never! When life gives you lemons, make a podcast, just later than usual.

For this week's News, we talk Belle (which is on HBO Max), Paper Girls (on Amazon), and the Sandman (on Netflix), all of which a re new premiers in the past week or so! I found a cop; thread on Namor's MCU costume design on Twitter so we go over that goodness, then some brief DCEU project updates (which may change again soon for all we know), Marvel's Fantastic Four plans, the latest She-Hulk featurette, and the exciting new Andor trailer!

The past week's comic book Picks (34:13) start with my VERY mixed feelings for Strange #4, but then VERY positive for the #2's of Public Doman, the Variants, and Sins of the Black Flamingo, plus Christopher Priest's Vampirella: Year One #1.

Subsequently, this week's comic book Pulls (47:05) feature a LOT of new things, which is super exciting, and a few ongoing classics. Again, these are just a cross section of weekly Wednesday releases, so check out your local comic shop to see what else comes out that I don't discuss!

Finally, we end with the Harley Quinn season 3 Premier (59:11), covering the first three episodes: Harlivy, There's No Ivy in Team, and the 83rd Annual Villy Awards! It's good to have this one back, and we'll be continuing to cover it as the show goes on each week! Harvey Guillen's Nightwing has already gone down as absolutely legendary, I loved it!

I'll be back the week of Monday the 8th to cover the new week of comic picks and pulls, episode 4 of the Harley Quinn show, and all this crazy Warner/Discovery....stuff, which is still unfolding. Have a nice week, stay hydrated, and enjoy comics!

So much to talk about this week after Comic Con San Diego! We'll cover it all in due time, but check the time stamps if you want to skip to anything in particular! 

This week's non-Convention News (0:08:55) starts with the tragic passing of comics' Alan Grant, and has a few fun smaller points, but I think the bulk of the interest will be found with Marvel's new title trademarks (0:23:51) and what it all might mean! Also, there is no "The Mutants."

The week's comic book Picks (0:28:58) for the 20th of July had Grim #3 and Seven Sons #2 as the picks of the week by far, with Artemis: Wanted #1 as a close third! And this brilliant era of indie comics continues with this week's Pulls (0:34:08), comics for this week, the 27th of July. 

My extensive San Diego Comic Con 2022 rundown begins at 0:44:55, starting with comic book updates, because thy still do actually cover comics themselves at these big events, go figure! My most anticipated announcements are Tradd Moore's Doctor Strange and Johnathon Hickman's triumphant return to the Marvel cosmos! The various trailers from the event begin at 59:20 and start off with the DCEU, specifically Sandman (we're adding it in here at least), Black Adam, and Shazam: Fury of the Gods. The Marvel MCU starts at 1:05:22 with the I am Groot teaser trailer, before really knocking it out of the park with Wakanda Forever at 1:07:26. That one is followed by She-Hulk, and then we get into Star Trek, Animation, and all the rest!

Still talking SDCC22, the new MCU Updates start with 1:59:03, including the rest of phase 4, the plan for phase 5, and the current agenda for phase 6, plus all the news and updates for projects near and far! The convention rundown ends 2:09:45 with Games, Toys, and the Rest of the News!

Announced at the con, actually, I also have an Eisner's Recap! 2:13:09 the Eisner awards are the most prestigious awards in the comic book creation industry, and the winners are well worth crediting and celebrating. Congrats to all winner and nominees! 

We wrap up this long week with highlights of the October Big-Two Solicits, 2:19:00 (link to full will go here).

I'll be back next week for the first episode of August, 74! As She-Hulk gets closer along with all those other newly announced goodies, the news and updates are only going to get more exciting. Stay hydrated in this summer heat wave, and stay sweaty about comics!

It's another fantastic week for comic lovers and nerds! Con season has officially begun, which means we'll have some great news content going forward! 

This week's News (0:05:10) starts off a little rough with Rob Zombie's the Munsters trailer, but gets some heat with the Red Band Harley Quinn the Animated Series HBO Max trailer, when I have to give due credit to Kaley Cuoco, Independent Woman. Then it's on to the new Rings of Power trailer (0:15:06), which as a lifelong Tolkien fan, I'm SUPER excited for, so I break down the trailer and coming show a bit. But I also have to mention the fact that a lot of other fans seem to really hate the whole idea of this show, which is honestly sad to see. Then (0:31:28) we wrap up news with a bit on Daniel Kaluuya's live action Barney project (yes, really...apparently), the first look at Iron Heart in Wakanda Forever, and some more... Sinister rumors, wink wink. 

Comic book Picks from the week of the 13th (0:35:12) were quite up and down. My pick of the week is definitely Archaia's (through Boom! Studios) Flavor Girls #1, by Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky! Aaand I also had to mention the disappointment of the Hellfire Gala, 2022. How do you give the most R-rated group in the Marvel comics universe a boring "Met Gala?" Go figure. 

This week's comic book Pulls (0:47:12) incude my brief wrapping up of Trial of the Amazons, and on the more positive side, excitement on Seven Sons #2, Grim #3, and SO many indie series' kicking!

And of course, I go in-depth on the Ms Marvel Finale (1:01:25), titld NoNormal! I go over not just the episode, but Kamala's Big News, explore that end credits scene (and how I don't think ANY of us know!), talk theories on introducing more spoilers after this, what the series DIDN'T answer, Iman Appreciation, and: what comes next in the MCU, including theories and more!

This week's regular episode ends with a San Diego Comic Con 2022 Preview (1:38:34), based on some MAYBE leaks on what's coming for the Marvel panel/s. It also includes a brief bit on what we MIGHT be learning at Disney's D23 Expo, this September.

And that's it! Until next week, when we'll go over the regular material plus what actually IS revelealed at SDCC, make sure you drink an exuberant amount of water during this global heat-wave, and take care!

This is such a fun week for comics and comic media, with movie premiers, show finales, brilliant independent comic book series', and a cautious sense of excitement for next week's big (and hopefully not as chaotic as Anime Expo) San Diego Comic Con!

As usual we kick it off this week with the News (0:04:38), which includes Echo (Disney+)Show updates, a new Punchline (DC) comics series, the RWBY/Justice League animated movie, leaks for both Loki Season 2 and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a director for the fourth Captain America movie, and some light news on what to expect at San Diego Comic Con 2022--which we'll preface more in-depth on the next episode!

Last week's Comic Book Picks (0:21:22) was actually super DC-Heavy, for once, with no Marvel comics on my list at all! My picks of the week would be Astronaut Down #2 (Aftershock), Liam Sharp's Starhenge #1 (Image), and Poison Ivy #2 (DC); I continue to adore Pamela Isley, and refuse to see her as the bad guy. The two indies of that trio are wildly creative, and I honestly can't recommend them enough. We're in what I don't hesitate to call a Golden Era of Indie(ish) Comics!

This week's Comic Book Pulls (0:36:04), in reverse, is absent of DC for my list, but includes some seriously heavy duty, amazing variant covers coming from Marvel--be sure to check out all the available covers of this week's New Mutants, A.X.E.: Eve of Judgment, X-Men: Hellfire Gala, Captain Marvel, and Immortal X-Men. Some of my favorite comic artists are included among those stunners, plus one truly awesome homage variant! And that's not even to mention the many incredible indie/creator owned comics premiering and continuing this week, as well. Remember what I just said about a Golden Age of Indies? Mhmm.

Getting into other media, coverage of Ms Marvel (Disney+)episode 5 (0:49:07), titled Time and Again, includes theories about the finale, carefully hopeful expectations, and of course, all the comic book references from the penultimate episode. 

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode 10 (0:58:43), titled A Quality of Mercy, was a fantastic finale for the show's first season, giving us time travel, life lessons, Original Series references, and a cocky young James Tiberius Kirk! I don't know when season 2 arrives, but I am SO ready!

Finally, of course I'm including my Thor: Love and Thunder Spoiler Free Review (1:11:05) in this episode, but be warned, because it's quite short, and immediately followed by the Spoiler Review! I had a lot of fun making this one, because it includes comic book references, Norse mythology, Easter eggs, connections to the greater MCU, the music, the end credits scenes explained, and theorizing for the future of the characters!

As promised, the Love and Thunder basic plot overview: https://www.ign.com/articles/thor-love-thunder-ending-explained-post-credits-scene

The Collider article on the movie's music: https://collider.com/thor-love-and-thunder-guns-n-roses-influence/ 

Make sure you're back next week for coverage on the Ms Marvel finale, the new comic book picks and pulls for the week, a Hellfire Gala wrap-up for Marvel, pre-SDCC (July 21-24), and maybe even October's big-two comic book solicitation! Till then, stay hydrated, do some light stretches in the morning, and support your local comic shops!

This week's news starts at 02:30, covering the trailer releases of the week, coming release dates, rumors, and more.

Welcome to the June Yancy Street Special: The Patsy Walker Hellcat Story! Why? Christopher Cantwell's Iron Man (2020) series has featured Patsy as a regular co-star, culminating in the two heroes starting a relationship, and Stark eventually proposing to Walker. Check out Iron Man #20 and Iron Man/Hellcat Annual #1 for how that turns out! Meanwhile, I can guarantee there's SOMETHING about comics in this podcast that will be new to you, so don't miss out! Patsy has been around since 1944, making her one of the oldest characters at Marvel Comics today, predating Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, and even the first Avengers team.

Of course, as she is another complex female comic book character, this patsy podcast comes with some serious warnings. Content Warnings: suicide, mental health, exploitation, narcissism, cheating, gaslighting, attempted sacrifice, etc.

If you want to see the written list of KEYS 0:08:33, Recommended Reading, and Hellcat Aliases with their origins, check out the coinciding blog post on my site (no ads!), here. Also be sure to check out the Image Post that goes along with this episode, linked here.

Patsy's Hellcat has been on a bunch of different teams through the decades, so that is covered at 0:16:09.

An extensive look at Patsy's Friends and Allies 0:25:05, including family, features characters from her days under the Timely flag, as well as later in the main 616 universe, through to modern times.

A short (ish) list of Patsy's Love Interests 0:50:30 and Enemies 0:56:23 follow, and you'll notice there is a LOT of crossover between those two lists.

Then it's on to her Powers 1:00:30, Costumes 1:03:48, and some fun Taglines and Quotes 1:14:08 from her vast comic history!

Finally, I cover the Other Realities 1:16:41 Patsy appears in, including media like TV and Games.

At last, we reach Patsy's FULL HISTORY 1:23:02 including her Pre-Marvel 616 Comic History; Patsy coming to the main 616; Patsy as Hellcat, the Defender and Avenger; the changes of her life once she meets Daimon Hellstrom; and the modern history from Hellcat (2000) and on.

I wrap this baby up with my final thoughts 1:51:15 on Patsy's tumultuous, extended history, summarizing all that she's come to represent and stand for, as further questions about her character that I'd like addressed in the future.

Welcome to Summer! Don't go out and get hot in the sun, stay in and get sweaty with the Yancy Street Podcast! (was that too much?) ;)

This week does start with another tribute to another lost legend in the comics industry, Tim Sale (0:04:46). His legacy covers decades of comics and some of the eras' most significant material, to say the least. This tribute includes statements from his fellow creators, honoring his long-lived career.

As for the rest of the news (0:14:47), the general topics include Spy Kids, Madame Web, and Comic Con 2022!

The previous week's comic book Picks (0:22:24) include Immortal X-Men #3 as Pick of the Week, plus a number of fun others! This week's comic book Pulls (0:29:58) have a bunch of #1's and one-shots, again; all a ton to look forward to reading!

Starting the other media, I cover the Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale (38:52), or episode 6, by going through the various characters and where they all end up: Reva, the Twins, Vader V Kenobi, That Ending, and, of course, What Comes Next!

Then it's on to Ms Marvel episode 3 (47:53), titled Destined. I cover the events of the episode including all the big reveals, how they connect to the comics, and what that might mean for not just the rest of the show, but the future the Marvels movie!

Finally, I do a Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Catch-Up (1:03:08), covering episodes 6-8, titled Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach, The Serene Squall, and The Elysian Kingdom, respectively. All three episodes have something in common-- Classic Trek themes that made the show a success to begin with, and keep fans like me coming back!

This being the last week of June, expect the June Yancy Street Podcast to come out whithin the next week: The Patsy Podcast! AKA the Patsy Walker/Hellcat Story! Unless you're Christopher Cantwell (her current, IMO excellent writer), there's probably something in it you didn't know about her character, because she's one of Marvel's oldest!

In addition, I'll be posting about the September Marvel and DC comic book solicitations....which might end up being a blog post, in which case it will be linked here when posted: (future link!)

Other than that, you'll find me next back with regular weekly episode 70 this coming Monday, July 4th! In the meantime, Hydrate, Hippies, and enjoy your nerdy passions as Summer starts to peak. Just a few weeks till Love and Thunder, if that's your thing!

I'm back! My health took a turn for a bit there (see the ending of the podcast for details, if you want), and I had to take some time off all forms of work. But for the sake of getting something out, I'm posting this one without a Kenobi or Strange New Worlds discussion--check back on Monday the 27th for that! Otherwise...

News at 0:07:52 talking some basic updates and fun reminders, then touching on a whole bunch of announcements: the Black Adam trailer, the Thunderbolts movie, Doctor Who 60th, Joker 2 (ugh), Game of Thrones, Wonder Man, Venom 3, the Penguin, Hercules, new Avatar movies, and the future of the MCU!

Comic book picks from the weeks of June 8th and 15th at 0:45:00, including Poison Ivy #1, Iron Man #20, and more, plus my top pick of both weeks: Seven Sons #1 of 7, from Image!

Skipping over Kenobi for this one episode (we'll cover him on Ep 69, don't worry!), we discuss the finale of Young Justice, season 4, at 1:10:00, plus where I think the show will be going with season 5. Then, at last, we have the first two episodes of Ms Marvel! Episode One at 1:18:28 and two at 1:31:00. Episode 3 will be covered, like Kenobi, on episode 69. For now, these show discussions are full of all kinds of Easter eggs, comics references, and fun theories! 

I'll be back for episode 69 of the Yancy Street podcast this coming Monday the 27th, talking the Kenobi finale, episode 3 of Ms Marvel, what I've missed from Strange New Worlds, plus news, picks and pulls, and maybe even September big-two solicitations! It's all coming!

Funny story! This was recorded on Monday afternoon, per usual, and then I promptly forgot about actually posting it, and now it's Tuesday...whoops! Anyway-- 

Starting up with the NEWS 0:07:24, with just a chunk of shorter items, including a few updates and first looks on upcoming projects! Also, I recently watched The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and I genuinely don't think I've laughed that hard in a movie in a long time. 10/10.

This past week's comic book PICKS 0:14:36, including highlights of Strange #3, the latest Captain Marvel, Road to Dark Crisis, Marvel's Voices: Identity, and more!

This week's comic book PULLS 0:26:05 have a surprising amount from DC Comics, and a ton of #1's and one-shots! I know there's a fair amount I'm picking up on after recording, so be sure to check out all of what your local shop gets in this week!

Obi-Wan Kenobi season 1 episode 3 0:40:40, talking part III's lies, reveals, revenge, "office competition," and all the best Easter Eggs! I LOVE scary Vader!

Young Justice season 4 episode 25 0:53:56, the actual penultimate episode before this Thursday's finale! This one  was titled, Over and Out!

Strange New Worlds  episode 5 0:57:03 titled Spock Amok; a fun episode with great looks at characters and some really fantastic throwbacks, which I, of course, go over plentily. 

And finally, Ms Marvel Show Prep! Starting at 1:06:11, we're going over the Disney+ "fan guide" information, what to know beforehand, what we already know about the plot details, plus cast and characters, potential villains, and to further excite you about Kamala's premier, some great coverage on what we know of the Captain Marvel sequel--the Marvels! Coming from twitter user @houseofphoton, linked below!

The next episode will be 67, coming Monday the 13th of June! We'll  be talking the usual comic book picks and pulls along with the news, the new Kenobi and Strange New Worlds episodes, the Young Justice finale, and, of course, the Ms Marvel premier! Can't wait to get sweaty with you again. 

Don't miss the May Yancy St Special, #JusticeforMadelyenePryor! https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/justiceformadelynepryor-may-yancy-street-special-full-character-history-roles-true-origins-future-and-more

Welcome to the May Yancy Street Special, Justice for Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen! Maddie has a tumultuous comic history, one that takes a degree of research to fully understand, so I've done the work for you! Here you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about Madelyne Pryor, tip to toe, from Claremont-era X-Men to Vita Ayala's current New Mutants arc. There's good reason Maddie has become a bit of a fan favorite, and I hope after this, you'll agree! 

Please note the content warning at the beginning of the episode for biological engineering, brainwashing, emotional and physical torture, abandonment, murder and suicide, psychological damage and extreme trauma, removal of personhood, infanticide, cheating and betrayal, etc. 

Key Comics 0:07:42, covering all the noteworthy issues marking integral moments in her history. 

Aliases 0:10:51, every name Madelyne is called through her comic history, and from which issues. 

Team and Roles 0:13:18, going over Maddie's involvement as a Pilot/Mechanic, X-Men, Berserker, and more!

Alternate Versions 0:22:01, briefly summarizing 5 different realities' versions of Maddie, plus one extra 616-version. 

Outfit Redesigns 0:27:32,  focusing on two canon redesigns and 2 unofficial fan designs by professional artists. I also forgot to note a few things about Maddie's Goblin Queen outfit in this section, namely that anyone who's worn a "similar" top will understand it actually sits rather snug and comfortably. Additionally, the costume originated when Madelyne first became her "evil" version of herself, when her goal was the mental torture of her ex-husband, Scott. Her sultry look goes along with that intention just as much as the seduction of his younger brother, Alex. 

Relationships 0:32:01, talking Madelyne's interactions and time with Kate (Kitty) Pryde, Jean Grey, Scott and Alex Summers, the other X-Men, Mister Sinister, and others. 

Full Character Chronology 0:46:10, going over her entire comic book history, with insights, explanations, and everything else you can think of!

The Modern History 1:05:39, covering anything that's happened to Maddie since Inferno (1989).

Her TRUE Origin1:08:12, explaining the creators' original intention behind Madelyne, and how her story became so twisted away from those intentions by the end. 

My personal head-canon of who she is and how to handle her 1:12:24, because it shouldn't be so hard to get a satisfying plot surrounding her out! 

And finally, the current New Mutants Arc 1:15:05, starting with the recent release of issue #25, and discussing what might be coming in subsequent issues, based on what information we have. 

I hope you feel this special has done Madelyne Pryor justice, for what little I can offer. We an only hope those with the power to make positive change and deserved recognition in her story, do so, and do so well. 

Next Podcast Upload: Episode 66, Monday June 6th! Ooooh, 666 >:) And speaking of 666, don't miss the upcoming JUNE Yancy Street Special, all about Patsy Walker, aka Hellcat! One of the oldest characters at Marvel Comics, period.

Hello everyone, it's been a long week or so, but I'm proud of us for having even gotten this far. This one is late, but packed, as usual. 

We start with what I'm calling Small NEWS 0:09:18, going over some brief reminders, fun facts, and other more minor announcements. The news continues with a Coming Soon 0:15:01 segment, covering a number of announcements from this past week. The Trailers 0:32:15 segment includes the She-Hulk trailer, the Thor: Love and Thunder trailer, as well as Umbrella Academy season 3, and Baymax on Disney+. For Rumors 1:00:35, there is just a small couple of MCU-related things, and finally the Comics 1:02:34 segment, covering the coming DC Swimsuit edition variants!

It's a short episode this week, but worry not! I have a lot planned for the immediate future of the podcast and website. 

The NEWS 09:57: circling mainly around Crunchyroll's Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes release announcement! See the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5CIs0jDqC8&ab_channel=CrunchyrollCollection 

I have three PICKS 18:07 for last week's comics: all indie, all stupendous, all leaving me wanting more!  They are 8 Billion Genies #1, Grim #1, and Immortal Red Sonja #2. So much to love and to talk about in just those issues!

This week's comic book PULLS 35:07 include some of my favorite current Indie comics, a couple final issues, and Marvel's Voices: Identity #1, celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander creators and characters!

We wrap up with Young Justice S04E22 45:33 titled, Rescue and Search. Conner's fate has been discovered, but can anyone do anything to help?

I'll be back sooner than you think! With new Mutants #25 FINALLY (allegedly) being released this week, I'll be posting my Intro to Madelyne Pryor--the Goblin Queen--episode by Friday! Also be sure to check out my previous Special Edition Episode on Illyana Rasputin, aka Magik!

Other than that special, I'll be back for a regular episode this coming Monday the 23rd, talking New Comic releases, Young Justice ep.23, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and whatever happens in the news, I'll have it covered here!

It's a late episode, but a packed one! Make sure to check out all the links below, and be sure to visit my site to see all the new updates!

We start as usual with the NEWS 0:07:37, beginning with a tribute to George Perez, who passed this week at age 67 after a lifelong career making waves in the industry. The Rumors 21:05 covers those Ezra Miller replacement theories, before going into Coming Soon 26:38! Here we cover Doctor Who's 14th Doctor announcement, Umbrella Academy Season 3 on Netflix and Volume 4 of the comic, the Red Sonja project, and Ahsoka project updates. That leaves us with Trailers 36:27, this week focusing on another for the upcoming Obi Wan Kenobi show on Disney+!

We have a short list of PICKS 38:39 again this week, with the pick of the week being Giant Size X-Men: Thunderbird #1! Check out the link below to see more information on the choices of colors in John Proudstar's new look. This is followed by a brief Free Comic Book Day Wrap-Up 45:2, covering what came from the Big Two, and that cute Avatar comic. 

This week's comic PULLS 50:08 are technically already out, but I still wanted to include my week's pull list, and there's a lot of fun stuff out!

As for other media, first is the MOON KNIGHT FINALE 52:26, followed by YOUNG JUSTICE S04E21 59:33, where another hero is lost. 

Finally, my Multiverse of Madness SPOILER-FREE REACTION 1:04:52 comes quickly before the full SPOILER review 1:07:04! I admit, I am quite critical, but even I had moments I really, really liked. The article on Misogyny towards Wanda: https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/scarlet-witch-deserves-better-than-doctor-strange-in-the-multiverse-of-madness/ by Lacy Baugher; two more not-so-great reviews: https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/analysis/2022/05/05/the-scarlet-witch-in-the-multiverse-of-misogyny.html https://www.vulture.com/2022/05/doctor-strange-in-the-multiverse-of-madness-movie-review.html

Happy May, and happy early Cinco de Mayo to all!

This week's news begins with a tribute to the late Neal Adams 0:08:35, who was a legend in the comic industry, by definition. Smaller news points 0:20:55 are followed by a couple of persistent Rumors 0:22:13. The Coming Soon segment 0:24:17 includes news on the Spider-Verse movies, the Penguin series on HBO Max, the Kite Man series, MCU release date swap, Sailor Moon Cosmos 0:32:49, and the Tales of the Jedi animated anthology series, before mentioning just a few Cancellations: 0:38:28.

The weekly comic book PULLS 0:49:46 feature almost entirely #1's, special editions, and one-shots, and then we also have the FCBD 2022 Pulls 0:55:40, as Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday, May 7th!

Good afternoon! This week we are an Egyptian History podcast, at least for a moment!

This week's NEWS 0:08:04 starts with a few minor points before breaking into the rest, starting with release updates for Across the Spider-Verse 0:10:22 parts 1 and 2. There are also some release changes on the horizon for the Batgirl movie 0:13:21. It's become time to finally address the Disney vs Florida situation 0:18:05, and let me be clear, I am NOT in agreement with the government of Florida in any way.

Then we have, on a lighter note, a rumored Elsa Bloodstone casting 0:27:26 for Werewolf y Night, Love and Thunder Casting Rumors 0:30:21 regarding Angela, Thor's half-sister with a complicated comic boo history, and the alleged Illuminati Lineup for Multiverse of Madness 0:41:11, in theaters next week!

While only a few, this week's comic PICKS 0:56:16 are mostly all bangers. The adjoining PULLS 1:03:14 for this week have a TON to look forward to!

While discussing MOON KNIGHT ep.4 1:10:44, we temporarily transition the podcast to being an Egyptian History podcast, because I can't help myself, and they got a LOT wrong in that episode, to be honest. But there's always the fun comic references and theories, too! Then it's YOUNG JUSTICE s4 1:31:19 episode 19, where we are starting to see the light at the end of the complex tunnel. Marvel  COMICS July Solicits 1:36:08 are quite long this month, and DC Comics JULY Solicitations 1:49:22 are a bit shorter, but full of some great material to look forward to.    And that's that! Definitely be sure to check out the Yancy Street Specials, as the May Special will be all about Patsy Walker! And keep an eye out later this week for a SURPRISE special, regarding Madelyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen! Stay hydrated, keep it sweaty, see you next week!

Hey there, listeners! Another week, another weekly episode! This one covers so much, so stick around!

Our NEWS segment (0:08:24) starts with a few shorter bits of updates (Don't miss the Illyana podcast or the Batman on HBO Max!), before digging deep into Multiverse of Madness speculation (0:12:26) based off of a comic book wrap gift, Trans Representation in DC media (0:18:18), the Future of DC Entertainment (0:24:50), highs and lows of the Wonder Twins casting (0:28:18), Constantine by JJ Abrams Updates and Rumors (0:32:21), the official White Knight Red Hood Announcement (0:37:37), and of course, a full breakdown of the Thor: Love and Thunder Teaser (0:43:15)!

The weekly comic book PICKS (1:02:02) feature the penultimate Batman/Catwoman issue, Immortal Red Sonja #1 (fantastic!), and a few other fun things. This week's comic book PULLS (1:11:21) come with a short preface on open-mindedness, which I hope is understood. 

The discussion of MOON KNIGHT episode 3 (1:20:30) goes through the events of the show, the comic book references and Easter eggs, and theories about where we're going next. And, of course, an explanation on who that third persona likely is!

We end with YOUNG JUSTICE Season 4 episode 18 (1:32:07) where things are getting Zoddy, and Doctor Who: Legend of the Sea Devils Spring Special (1:35:25), where I talk the history of the Sea Devils in Who, as well as the real life history of Madame Ching: Pirate Queen! 

I'll be back with a new weekly episode next Monday (or Tuesday) talking comic books, news, speculation, Moon Knight, Young Justice, and DC and Marvel July comic book solicitations! Till then, stay sweaty, and enjoy your week.

Hello friends! We're pretty brief on news this week, talking Love and Thunder Marvel Legends leaks and a few bits of minor news on upcoming TV projects.

The previous week's comic book PICKS (0:16:00) include extended segments on WW The Amazons: Historia #2 and Strange #2 (0:29:53), before getting into a few others, all female-forward comics!

This week's comic book PULLS 0:42:19 include only a few indie #1's and some solid others worth getting excited about, but the main draw of this episode is the MOON KNIIGT Ep2 breakdown 0:46:11, titled Summon the Suit. Like last week, I go through the relevant events on the episode and how it connects to the comics, the takes the MCU is doing on comic entities, and theories about what might be happening going forward.

Finally, we end with the latest Young Justice S.4 0:57:34 ep., episode 17 titled: Leviathan Wakes. This episode wrapped up a lot of the current series arc, but there's still a long ways to go for these characters.

My next episode will be coming out Wednesday the 13th or Friday the 16th this week, being the April Yancy St Special: Magik! An Overview of Illyana Rasputin. I have an enormous amount of information to cover, and I'm supremely excited to talk all things Magik! Keep an eye out for that later this week, otherwise the next regularly scheduled episode is coming Monday the 18th, covering Moon Knight episode 3, more Young Justice, new comic book day, and all the relevant news! Until then, I hope your spring is coming along well. Get some rest, get unabashedly sweaty, and get excited. Lot's more to come!

Happy belated first contact day, and happy April!

I start this week's news (after a note on my personal current watch-list [in which I forgot to mention Demon Slayer, From, and Minx!]) with the coming Doctor Who special/s (0:09:35), info on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (0:15:03), The Batman's HBO Max release date (22:48), the continuation of Peach Momoko's Demon Days saga (0:23:42), sad updates for the Crow movie remake (0:28:39), an Obi Wan Kenobi show update (0:32:41), info on Blade's daughter's reveal (0:33:42), Daredevil in the MUC (0:37:08), and Multiverse of Madness (38:06) tickets are on sale today! Be sure to check out the new teasers--or don't, more to see for the first time in the movie!

The weekly Pick list had some stellar comics that deserved their own over-explanation, including demon Days: Blood Feud (0:39:11), Batman Beyond the White Knight #1 of 8 (0:45:28), Immortal X-Men #1 (0:51:38), and Captain Marvel #37 (1:01:25). Others include the Spider-Woman finale, Draculina, Silk, and more!

The Pull List this week (1:07:27) include plethora of Annuals, #1's, and one-shots, plus some great others like She-Hulk, Strange, and Historia!

You can find the Moon Knight episode 1 discussion at 1:15:36, covering the entirety of the episode's events with all the relevant comic and mythological information as we go through it! Today has episode two, watch out for spoilers, and we'll discuss it on podcast 58!

Finally, I wrap up with the new episodes of Young Justice: 14-16 (1:36:05). The three episodes have a LOT going on, so I hope my note-taking helps us both keep up with events going forward! New episodes on Thursdays!

That's it for this week! Sorry for the delay but as I mentioned, my day job is switching things up of late so I had to make some adjustments. I'll be back Monday the 11th with the new episode, plus that week I'll have the Illyana Rasputin podcast special uploaded prior to the release of New Mutants #25 at the end of the month! Stay hydrated, get some rest, meditate if you can, and definitely get sweaty about what you love. See you next time!

Starting off with the news this week, which includes some stuff I went pretty hard on! I've got an extended discussion on Poison Ivy's status quo (0:08:47), covering everything for her character from Heroes in Crisis to her new solo series starting in June. I'm also delighted to have a bit of information on a brand new project for the Monstress Team: Sana Takeda and Marjorie Liu (0:26:43). I have hilarious spoilers on the Morbius post-credits scenes (0:29:47), Nova news and speculation along with some character info (0:36:31), a new live-action Voltron project (0:42:05), what we know about the Gotham Knight's TV show (0:44:30), Behemoth's acquisition (0:49:45), updated Secret Invasion rumors (0:52:44), some rag time on Donny Cates (0:55:15), and the comics community reacts to the Oscars awards ceremony, 2022(0:58:09)!

With Moon Knight premiering first thing tomorrow, I obviously have a section on this upside dedicated to what to expect from the show (0:59:23), which I was happy to include details about Egyptian Deities and their place in the Marvel Universe (1:05:29), as I found a truly impressive Nerdist article on the topic (linked below).

Monday the 28th had the Myth of Stan Lee virtual conversation with Abraham Riesman (1:22:16), who has studied Stan extensively to write his book TRUE BELIEVER: the rise and fall of Stan Lee. The conversation touched on Stan's traditional position within marvel, his hereditary Jewishness, the controversy of his credit taking over certain projects, and the sad situation he found himself all the way until his death. I took notes through the whole event, so there's a lot of really good information in there.

While I'm still behind on a couple key comic series I follow, I have a good discussion of some excellent recent comics (1:40:10), with Bolero #3 definitely being my favorite of the bunch. Finally, last will be the weekly pull list, talking comics coming out the 30th of March (and DC today the 29th) 1:49:14.

The next episode will be Monday the 4th of April, talking the regular news and comics but also Moon Knight! Which premiers tomorrow, Wednesday the 30th of March. Get hyped! I'll also have the April Yancy Street Special up by the 11th of the month, covering Illyana Rasputin (AKA Magik), and a bit of Madelyne Pryor, before their important new art in starting in late-April's New Mutant's #25!

Till next time, thank you for listening, have a meditative New Moon this week, and get sweaty about your hobby of choice!

Hello and happy Spring Equinox! This is a PACKED episode after I took a bit of rest last week, so be sure to check it all out!

The News is a  lot this week, so it comes in a series of categories: Women's History Month Headlines at 0:09:32, followed by TV and Movie Updates at 0:13:07 (including the animated Harley Quinn's Kite Man spin-off show, Sydney Sweeney's casting speculation for Madame Web, thoughts on the first look at She-Hulk herself, a Dragon Ball movie update, a look at the ZSJL Green lantern, and an Aadams Family Netflix Update!), then Rumors and Theories at 0:30:52 (featuring the apparent Daredevil "reboot," Kraven movie theories, an unfortunate Doctor Who rumor, and guesses on if  Mace Windu will be returning or not). Then we get into trailers at 0:45:02, starting with Ms Marvel (and my admittedly stellar theory), and ending with Obi Wan Kenobi. Finally, the news finishes with comic book updates at 1:08:50, which includes the DC and Marvel Pride covers list, and the 2022 Hellfire Gala covers. 

After the news, I go VERY briefly though a few comic Picks at 1:15:11, and I run through the Pulls for the coming week at 1:17:18.

Finally, this episode features the Marvel and DC comic solicitations for June 2022 at 1:21:30 and 1:31:24, respectively. Some of the highlights from Marvel include Pride Month covers, Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals begins, Daredevil restarting, an evil Spider-Man What-If series, the Hellfire Gala 2022, and mini-series' for Genis-Vell, Jane Foster, Ben Grimm, Hank Pym Ant-Man, and Black Cat! DC's headlines include a New Poison Ivy series, Rosenberg's last issue of Batman, the beginning of Dark Crisis and Queen Nubia's Reign, the annual DC Pride issues and specials, and the marriage at the end of Batman/Catwoman!

That's it for this week, next week will feature a longer discussion on the future of Poison Ivy, a segment to catch up on recent comics, and more news! There's always more to get sweaty about. See you next time!

Do I obsess a bit over Clea? Yes. Do I try and keep it within healthy limits of fandom? Also yes. But passion still abounds, and that is why we find ourselves here. 

Clea is a character with a long history at Marvel Comics, who has recently been brought into the spotlight, arguably for the first time, in her first solo series, titled STRANGE. With this in mind, and the knowledge that she will likely be making her MCU debut this May in Multiverse of Madness, I felt it was time to share what I know about Clea's character. 

Starting off with her Family History 06:45, including her mother Umar and the Faltine line she comes from, and her father Orini and the Mhuruuks of the Dark Dimension.

Discussion of various other women she encounters through her journeys in the comics 15:10

Clea's Team Affiliations & Other Relationships 24:18, including allies, enemies, the Defenders, and more. 

Her Personal (comic book) History 31:49, running through the important parts of her entire catalogue, hit by hit. 

and finally, STRANGE 0:47:26 which I still think should have been called Supreme. 

Clea's entire reading list: https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/archive/clea-comic-appearances-complete-reading-list

A note in response to a series called "Clea Loves Sex": https://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/archive/a-note-on-clea-of-the-faltines

This week's regular episode starts with the news 0:03:01 as usual, including in this edition the Super Bowl Moon Knight Spot and Multiverse of Madness Trailer, and a plethora of smaller news points and rumors. 

The PICKS 18:30 on this episode include comics from the weeks of Feb. 1-2, Feb. 8-9, and Feb. 15-16. A favorite of mine was the finale of Dirtbag Rapture with issue #5!

The weekly PULLS 29:04 bring a LOT to look forward to, and finally, I go over the BOOK of BOBA FETT Finale ep.7: In the Name of Honor! Whether this was a one-off season as piece of the bigger puzzle or if there's  more Boba coming I'm thrilled with how this show went. 

And that's it! Stay healthy, stay sweaty, have a great week.

Happy Valentine's Day, nerds! Please note the content warning for this video before listening. 

Starting in at 0:09:48 with a brief history of the lovely Patsy Walker, before getting into her romance with Daimon Hellstrom, all that ensued, and her life since. We then go on to explore the relationships of...

Deathstroke and Terra 0:17:52

Carol and Marcus 0:24:44

Ray Palmer and Jean Loring 0:36:44

the Joker and Harley Quinn 0:41:08

Purple Man and Jessica Jones 0:43:59

Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne 0:45:38

Scott Summers and Madelyne Pryor 0:49:43

Betty Ross and Bruce Banner 0:54:15

Batman and Talia Al Ghul 0:57:39

Doctor Doom and Victorious 1:00:54

Clint Barton and ____ take your pick 1:04:27

Scott Summers and Emma Frost 1:05:17

Green Arrow and Black Canary 1:08:30

the Comedian and Silk Spectre 1:09:40

Both Stephen Strange and Clea & Reed Richards and Sue Storm 1:10:28

Ororo Munroe and T'Challa; Starfire and Anyone; Piotr Rasputin and Kate (Kitty) Pryde, all @ 1:13:19

And wrapping the list up with two more Marvel heroes I wouldn't recommend dating-- 1:14:51

And all of this is to say....what, exactly? That's the question. Why do our celebrated (and disgraced) comic writers continue to knowingly create this kinds of stories, these kinds of terrible relationships---specifically for our favorite superheroes to be in? Is it to show they, too, are flawed? Hardly, we see that in other ways. Is it to  make them seem more real? Again, I can't say for sure. All I can do is explore these stories with you, learn from them, and aim to do (and be) better. 

Stay sweaty.

G'day, listeners! Our fiftieth episode brings some pretty cool content, a year now into our show! But first, be sure to checkout my YouTube channel, where I just posted an unboxing review of the new Marvel Legends Binary figure! This is the second hero-identity for Carol Danvers, and I go over her first appearance and history a bit in the video. Linked below!

Then it's the usual News starting at 0:06:35, including an update on Moon Knight show speculation at 0:10:46, talk about Snowpiercer season 3 and the graphic novels it's loosely based off of, the confirmation of Mortal Kombat 2, and fresh news of Tom King's latest project, indie romance comics! I then present you with Netflix Live-Action He-Man & Toxic Fandom at 0:23:14, discussing the recent announcement of a new Masters of the Universe live-action movie, the previous (and delightful) Kevin Smith animated show, and the terrible behavior that spurned him from future similar projects. I love being a nerd, but there's a reason we're sometimes seen with a negative perspective, due to fans just like those. 

The weekly Comic Book Picks are at 0:30:19, discussing released from the last week of January like Death of Doctor Strange's finale, the Bat/Cat special and John Paul Leon tribute, the glorious return of Saga #55 and Monstress #36, Tom King being a massive bleeding heart romantic, and more. 

The Pull List for this week, Feb 1st and 2nd, starts at 0:52:47 and includes a satisfying amount of indie #1's, yet again! As well as the usual suspects. 

Finally, I fully discuss the Book of Boba Fett ep. 5 starting at 1:00:42, titled Return of the Mandalorian! This discussion covers Star Wars Legends and lore, Easter eggs wazzoo, history of Mandalore, fun facts, references to the Clone Wars and Rebels TV shows as well as other Trilogy movies, and so, so much more. This was a winning episode, I don't think anyone can argue. Only two more in the season!

I'll be back for another regular weekly episode on Monday the 7th of February, covering the penultimate episode of Book of Boba Fett, the weekly comic book pick and pull lists, and if there's interest, I'd love to do a bit on Afrofuturism! Until next week, have a blessed Candlemas, and always keep it sweaty.

Good morrow and happy anniversary! That's right, Sensational She-Geek Live from Yancy street has been a podcast regularly updated for one whole year! That year has found lots of change in the industry as well as personally, giving us a whopping 90 episodes, and making this the glorious 91st! So kick back and get ready to enjoy the first ever anniversary episode! 

NEWS of the week actually features actual news for once, which is exciting. It includes The Batman runtime, AppleTV+'s MonsterVerse show announcement, Marvel's 2022 Women's History covers, Daredevil rebooting with #1 in June, the official green light for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and one unjust cancellation. This all starts at  0:08:28!

the RUMORS portion of the news can be found at 0:31:02, covering the Daredevil She-Hulk rumors (and an explanation on his first-ever comic suit), and some Secret Wars speculation based off of recent leaked images. 

Weekly Comic Book Picks start at 0:34:36 with a special edition discussion of the Cursed Pirate Girl saga by Jeremy Bastian! It came out with it's fifth chapter, The Devil's Cave, this past week, which  led me into a deep dive on the series, which I share in summary here with you. Other Picks of the week include Bolero #1, She0Hulk #1 (of 5 :( ), Home Sick Pilots, and more.

The Weekly Comic Pull list, at 0:47:23, covers a surprising number of independent #1 comics and a few delightful comic book specials, but the best comes last (1:01:01) with a short, excited bit on the glorious return of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' Saga! Gone since 2018 and the hype is as big as ever. 

The most recent Book of Boba Fett rundown for episode 4, The Gathering Storm, can be found at 1:03:51. I cover a brief overview of the episode's events, including more on how cool Fennec Shand is, the story of the hatred between Wookies and Trandoshans, and theories on where the final 3 episodes will be taking us--or who they'll show us. 

Since they've both been released, I went ahead and covered both the Marvel (1:10:08) and DC (1:27:50) April comic book solicitations. I cover these each month because it's a good way to keep your ear to the ground as to what's going on at two of the biggest players in the geek industries, as well as to hopefully pique listeners' interests to something in those goings-on. It's also a good way to get to know common creator names in the industry!

I'll be back with another episode next week, on January 31st! We'll cover comic Picks (based off this week's Pulls) and next week's Pull list, this week's Book of Boba Fett episode 5, and anything else relevant! We're already through the first month of 2022, folks, keep it sweaty!

Welcome to the very first Yancy Street Special! This episode is all about comics from 2021, wrapping up the industry for the year and talking what was good, what was great, and and what was disappointing! Stick around to the end for my list of characters to watch in 2022 as their stories continue to progress!

Best Writers begin at 0:47:29, then there's the (Interior) Artist list at 0:53:50 and the (Cover) Artist list at 0:57:02.

Finally, Characters to watch in 2022 begins at 1:14:30 with a list of (admittedly mostly female) characters who will be popping up in important ways in the comics industry through this year! Don't miss out on them!

Late episode for good reasons! The News and Rumors: is Gunn directing Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy's onscreen team-up? Multiverse of Madness Cameo Rumor Roundup! Clea/Theron Casting Rumors; and a bit of my own speculation on who "She-Hulk's Best Friend" is, as being played by Ginger Gonzaga in the upcoming Disney+ show!

Comic Book Pick list at 0:22:49, including a brief history of the Bloodstone clan, two excellent indie premieres and two mediocre ones, an uncanny number of things written by Chip Zdarsky, the final issue of Marauders, and more!

Comic Book Pulls for this week at 0:36:21, where I'm mostly excited about the premier of She-Hulk's new series! Which, by the way, I have a MASSIVE Intro to Jen Walters/She-Hulk Yancy Street Special episode coming up this weekend!

A discussion of Book of Boba Fett episode 3, "the Streets of Mos Espa," goes along with an explanation of the Nightsisters of Dathomir, in Legends as well as Canon!

Finally, after Monday's blessed Moon Knight trailer premier, the episode wraps up with a some brief speculation on what direction the show will be taking, based off of comic knowledge. If you want a more in-depth explanation of Moon Knight (and Marc Spector), check out the Disney+ Day segment on this podcast, episode 41A!

Happy Monday friends! This week's big catch-up episode starts with news as usual (0:07:17), but most of this news is rumors and speculation, including talk of the Batgirl movie, the Marvels, Wakanda Forever, and of course, Multiverse of Madness. 

Covering two week's of comics, some of the stars of my pick list discussion include Harley Quinn #10, Death of Doctor Strange #4, Dark Knights of Steel #3, Dirtbag Rapture #4, and more! The first week of comics is at 0:27:02, the second starts at 0:40:48, and this week's pull list, including so many #1's!, is at 0:51:43.

Finally, the main event is my Book of Boba Fett episode 1 and 2 discussions. The first was an amazing start, but I liked the second even more. At the end, I talk a fair amount about the metaphor of the Tusken Raiders and what their handling between Mando and Book of Boba very relevantly displays--all tied up with Morrison's Maori heritage. 

The next podcast episode will be the Best of Comics 2021 podcast special, coming this week! It's done, it's ready to record, let's see if I get it out on time! sad laugh. But in all seriousness, I'll have another Monday episode up on Monday the 17th, covering more comics, more rumors, and more Book of Boba!

It's a rainy Monday around here, I hope your week is off to a solid start!

Today's episode begins as usual with News, broken up into four sections: Trailers 0:10:40, Movie/TV Updates 0:17:40, General Industry News 0:27:50, and Rumors 0:45:31. Trailers include the first look at Naomi, and a few new clips of Matt Reeves' upcoming The Batman movie, brought to you by a trailer from Warner Japan. Movie and TV updates features bits on The Marvels, the Gotham PD Reeves spinoff show, Shang-Chi, and Netflix's Cowboy Bebop. General Industry News covers the newly announced Wonder Woman video game, and what we know of Marvel in March, specifically Captain Carter, Destiny of X, and most importantly, Immortal X-Men. And finally, rumors goes over the potential The Losers Amazon show, everything you wanted to know about Phyla Vell possibly coming to the MCU, and more on that Shuri (Wakanda Forever) situation. 

I only had a handful of comic book picks to talk about this week 0:53:13, which were Dark Knights of Steel #2, Inferno #3, Hellions #18 (the series finale and the return of Madelyne Pryor, Goblin Queen!), Devil's Reign #1, and Daisy #1 from Dark Horse, which tbh I forgot to go back to and discuss, but was fantastic. 

I run through this week's pull list 1:09:30 pretty quick so I can get to the Hawkeye episode four discussion! 1:17:21 As usual, I cover all the easter eggs, hidden details, character references, comic origin material, and every bit of speculation I felt worthy of my time, including one or two theories that I'm personally banking on pretty hard. 

The next episode is gonna be a big'un, as it'll cover not only this Wednesday's Hawkeye Episode 5, but my spoiler review of Spider-Man: No Way Home! hat's as well as the regular picks and pulls from new comic book day, and relevant industry news, too. Marvel and DC March 2022 solicitations coming soon! My first special edition episode will be coming around the end of the year, featuring my personal Best in Comics 2021 list!

Hello, world! This week I'm starting a new format for the podcast episodes. For the foreseeable future, regular episodes will be posted weekly on Mondays, with any additional episodes covering special features relating to comics history, relevant characters, or whatever else you want to hear about! Start sending me ideas!

The week's news starts at 0:08:15 kicking off with Lost in Space season 3, which is on Netflix in it's entirety! There is a lengthy discussion of the brief Spider-Verse sequel teaser, titled Across the Spider-Verse! I'm talking Web of Destiny, Inheritors, 2099, and more! I have two big MCU theories lined up at 0:17:36, followed by a really big, very official MCU announcement! The news is wrapped up with an overview of the She-Hulk update at 0:21:03, which leads her into her new series, coming next month. 

The comic book picks from last week start at 0:22:44, and the bulk of the discussion focuses on Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1, which was indescribably impressive and moving. I get to Animal Castle at 0:36:30, my second favorite pick of the week! Plus a whole lot of other reads from the past week, of course. 

Pulls for this week are found at 0:50:23, including a number of #1's as well as the return of Madelyne Pryor, the penultimate Hickman work for Marvel's X-Men, and a new era and creative team for Batman!

You can listen to the Hawkeye episode 3 discussion at 0:57:10, going over the episode called Echoes. I point out comic book connections, theories, Easter eggs, and more as we go over this exciting, fast-paced episode. 

We wrap it all up with a very brief look at the recently closed arc of Young Justice, which starred some favorite oft-overlooked female characters, and featured an oddly positive retelling of a Killing Joke. 

I'll be back for a regular episode next Monday the 13th of December, covering Hawkeye episode 4, the week's comic book picks, the news, and anything else that hits my radar! In the meantime, send me those special edition episode requests and have a killer week!

Big Greetings on this Big Monday Episode! I took last week off for "Fall Break," but we're back today with a seriously oversized podcast episode! Stick around, cause there's a lot to catch!

We start is off with the news as usual (0:14:13), covering a number of smaller No Way Home updates before getting into one very big and very exciting Spider-Man franchise update (0:18:27)! After the news of Matt Reeves' The Batman runtime, we go on to briefly discuss the Super Crooks Netflix Anime from Millar-World (0:24:52), and finish off the news with talk on the cancellation of Luke Cage: City of Fire, and why that is such a poor decision for Marvel to apparently have made ( 0:27:05).

We have two big comic book segments today, the first being the weekly Pick list for comics that came out last week, on the 23rd and 24th. At the top of the list sits John Ridley's Black Panther #1, Jed McKay's Death of Doctor Strange #3, and the final issue of Hickman/Huddleston's Decorum. Admittedly, I also spend some time complaining about the new X-Men run, t the end (0:44:31). For the pull list for this week's comics (0:49:30), I'm looking forward to a number of #1's, one-shots, anniversary issues, and final issues, among others. It's a big week for comics, for sure!

The massive, all-inclusive Hawkeye discussion (1:07:52) certainly has more information than you need to know, with episode 2 kicking in at 1:28:04. I've also compiled a list of all the points (I have 8 groupings) the show has taken from the 2012 Matt Fraction/David Aja Hawkeye comic book series, for which neither creator has been given any credit for (1:38:29). In my opinion, designers of stories that re turned into other major media ought to be paid the way any costume or set designers would be. 

After Hawkeye is my thoughts on the Netflix live action Cowboy Bebop show (1:43:25), which are mostly positive! I haven't finished it, but I'm enjoying it so far.

Finally, to mark the holiday that passed us by last week, I put together a discussion of 1989-1990's She-Hulk: Ceremony (1:46:56). It covers a lot of topics relevant to our modern world, many of which I go into depth on in my written discussion, which can be found on my website blog, linked below. I cover the general plot of the story, the legendary feud between Ceremony writer Brian McDuffie and Sensational She-Hulk writer John Byrne (1:50:37), and finally, the one, the only, Wyatt Wingfoot! 1:58:38 Wingfoot is a character with old, strong ties between himself and Johnny Storm and the Fantastic Four, Jen Walters, Black Panther, and other major marvel heroes. He's chief of his Keewazi tribe from Oklahoma, a proven warrior, empath, and thinker, and is one of my best guesses at characters soon to be introduced to the MCU! You can check out this discussion for his character history, relevant ties, where he was inspired from, and anything else you could possibly want to know about Wyatt Wingfoot!

I'll be back with the next podcast episode Friday the 3rd (or September the 4th) covering the Wednesday episode of Hawkeye, comic book picks for the week, and any other news, which I'm sure there will be plenty of! Stay warm and dry, keep it sweaty, and try not to cast judgement.

Happy Friday, all!

This week's News starts at 0:09:28 with some brief reminders (like Cowboy Bebop and Hawkeye!) before getting into some casting and other show news.

Comic Picks start at 0:17:03, focusing mainly on #PoisonIvyWatch, which seems to wrap up this arc of her character's story.

Tuesday's No Way Home trailer is briefly mentioned at 0:39:40, but I'll warn you now, I wasn't thrilled. 

I talk about Marvel Comics coming in FEBRUARY 2022 at 0:41:27, and DC Comics in FEBRUARY 2022 at 1:00:54!

I'll be back Monday, November 22nd to talk comic book pull list, Cowboy Bebop thoughts, and whatever hits the news between now and then!

Late Monday episode, but it's here! Kicking off with a plethora of MCU rumors and news at 0:09:53, including additional news on Star Wars Projects, Henry Cavill roles, and speculation on Barry Keoghan's (Druig from Eternals) role in Matt Reeve's The Batman. The two-issue pick list for the week sits at 0:28:53, covering my intense enthusiasm for My Date With Monsters #1 and Batman: Imposter #2.  This week's comic book pull list can be found at 0:33:39, going in-depth with the #1's and one-shots of the week, Batman Secret Files: The Gardener, Vampirella Holiday Special 2021, Radio Apocalypse, and Wonder Woman: Evolution! On to the main event: Disney+ Day coverage at 0:40:04! I start it off with a solemn reminder that we are in late stage capitalism and corporations are evil by definition, so keep that in mind while we celebrate some of these amazing projects.  For the 3 upcoming shows we got new "first looks" of, I've gone into some intense comic book history, explaining the origins, special characteristics, and history of She-Hulk (0:41:23), Moon Knight (0:50:53), and Ms Marvel (0:58:23). The rest of the Disney+ Day announcements are covered at 1:04:40, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Marvel Zombies, What If...? Season 2, I Am Groot (with Groot's publication history), animated newcomer X-Men '97, Echo (focusing on deaf indigenous character Maya Lopez), Agatha: House of Darkness (with some delightful topic speculation), Ironheart, Armor Wars, animated Spider-Man Freshman Year, and the long-awaited Secret Invasion. I'll be back this Friday the 19th with comic book picks, Doom Patrol Season 3 finale, this arc of Young Justice, #PoisonIvyWatch, and n doubt more news! Have a great week and remember to be mindful of others while you keep it sweaty!

Good day to you listeners! It's the super-sized Eternals movie review podcast! But first, we have to go over the weekly comic book pull list real quick (at 0:08:44), then onto the good stuff!

The Eternals discussion begins at 0:27:22 with that opening titles crawl, explaining the six singularities, the dawn of creation, and then Arishem and the Celestials both in the comics and as they are set up in the movie.

Ego, the Living Planet, and his connections to the Celestials are brought into the discussion at 0:35:00, before starting the basic plot overview at 0:38:01. This section includes the most basic of plot explanations, tied up with all kinds of comics history, Easter eggs, MCU translations, some theories, and more, all the way to the ending.

With the plot covered, it's on to the major and minor changes made from the comics to the MCU at 0:52:03, including retro and modern Eternals history.

Then I have an in-depth look at each of the MCU versions of these Characters at 0:55:43, covering all ten Eternals and Dane Whitman, and comparing them to their comic counterparts.

Finally, noteworthy moments in the movie are at 01:07:10, followed by my favorite bits of humor at 1:14:03. After a brief discussion of the movie's sometimes surprising music at 1:18:51, the episode wraps up with what to expect next for the MCU, spinning out of the events of this movie at 01:21:13.

Whew, I think that was it! Let me know what you thought of the movie and give me some feedback on what worked or not in my discussion!

I'll be back next for episode 41B on Friday (or Saturday) November 12/13, discussing the week's comic book pick list, possibly all that DCTV I'm behind on, more than likely more thoughts on Eternals, and anything relevant that hits the news! Have a great week, stay sweaty, and do good.

To me, my nerds!

There are two very accurate things about me. 1) I love Madelyne Pryor (the Goblin Queen) in the original Inferno event (1988). 2) I love Johnathon Hickman's comics. So when it was announced that Hickman was taking over the X-Men universe and revamping the Inferno event for a modern audience, it was obvious I'd be all over it. 

Here, I have compiled a special edition podcast to prep audiences for what's coming in Inferno (2021)! I even included a coinciding blog post that features images I reference during the podcast, so make sure to click the link below to follow along:

Inferno Prep Blog Post Here!

Here's what I'm covering in this Inferno discussion:

The original Inferno event basic overview, 1988 @ 0:15:07

The character of Madelyne Pryor, Goblin Queen @ 27:08

How this modern take links with the OG Inferno @ 0:43:48

A brief mention of Inferno (2015) (didn't get the timestamp sorry lol)

Modern Inferno prep, HoX/PoX crash course @ 0:48:52

How Destiny and Mystique fit into this @ 0:57:06

The question of clones on Krakoa @ 1:02:02

And finally, the other players @ 1:05:33

I think that covers it all! If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or theories you'd like to discuss, let me know! Interact with the podcast in whatever way you can, or find me on social media! Otherwise, I'll b back for our regularly scheduled Friday "B" Episode on October 1st, talking NCBD, What If...? and Titans! Do your best, be empathetic, and sweat it out, my friends.

Bit of a shorter episode today as I'm making time for a special edition podcast!

Pull list @ 0:09:39 Covering a number of #1's as well as some final issues!

Star Wars Visions @ 0:28:38 Talking George Lucas' inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's films and other Japanese inspirations for his Star Wars universe. Also some brief discussion of the first few episodes, because this stuff is crazy good and you should go watch it!

Doom Patrol S.3 part 1 @ 0:39:05 The first 3 episodes are up on HBO Max, and I had a blast watching them and trying to catch all the Easter eggs! I'm sure I didn't catch it all, but I discuss everything here. 

I'll be back (aside from the special edition Inferno prep podcast!) this Friday, October 1st, for 35B! I'll be talking comic picks, along with the new episodes of What If...? and Titans! Have a stellar sweaty week!

Pull List @ 0:16:40

Marvel Comics December @ 0:42:22

DC Comics December @ 1:04:00

Good Monday, and Happy Autumn! This week's "A" episode kicks off with one big bit of news, focusing on the trailer for Hit-Monkey, coming to Hulu in November! I go through the comics facts about all the relevant players in this discussion. 

After the regular weekly comic book pull list, I'm able to discuss both Marvel and DC comics announced for December release! While I'm not going through every solicitation of the month, I've picked out a few from either publisher that seemed interesting or worth mentioning. While the Marvel discussion is longer, there's more variety in what I'm excited for at DC!

I'll be back this coming Friday, September 24th with another episode focusing on the the week's comic book Picks, the Wednesday episode 7 of What If...? on Disney+, and the Thursday episode of Titans on HBO Max! 

Have a peaceful equinox, find balance in your life as the days and nights become equal in length, and find time to get sweaty about your hobbies.

Greetings! Today's Friday podcast episode 33B starts off with some pretty brief news, namely surrounding two live-action television productions that only recently got announced.

Stars this week included Eternals: Thanos Rises, Trial of Magneto #2, Superman and the Authority #3, Porcelain #2, Maw #1, and more!

The it's the TV of the week, including Wednesday's episode 6 of What If...? premiering on Disney+, and Thursday's episode of Titans on HBO Max. Both had a lot of really fun developments and comic references that I was thrilled to discuss! 

I'll be back for another episode Monday, September 20th, talking new comic book day pulls as well as December comic book news for Marvel and DC! Have a cool weekend, stay groovy, stay healthy, and always be sweaty.

Whew, what a Monday! Today's ultra-packed episode covers a ton of material, starting with the past week's comic Pick list, my favorites of which were New Mutants and the Harley Quinn Annual! 

DC and Marvel each had big announcements this week, with DC confirming their second annual DC Fandome online event, and Marvel releasing a loose schedule of upcoming titles for their comics slate. After those discussion, I'm covering Titans season 3 episode 6, as well as What If...? episode 4, titled, "What If...Doctor Strange Lost his Heart Instead of His Hands?" There was a lot to love in this dark retelling!

Finally, this episode wraps up with a spoiler-free review of Shang-Chi, out in theaters now! After seeing it myself, I encourage you all even more to go support it if you are safely able, because I had a blast, and I'm sure you would, too.

Hello listeners! This is just a brief update on the podcast, announcing that this week’s expected Friday 32B episode will be uploaded Monday, September 6th, before the Monday episode 33A is also uploaded. Two in a day! Why? I work my real life job all weekend, which won’t be happening again, so I’m taking care of weekend things today, and this won’t be a regular occurrence!

Sneak peak for the Monday 32B: comic book picks, discussion of Thursday’s Titans episode 6 and Wednesday's What If…? episode 4, info on the 2021 DC Fandome event and Marvel’s big comic news, as well as the trailer for Doom Patrol season 3 and a No-Spoiler review of Shang-Chi, out today!  Monday’s episode 33A will include a full spoiler review of the film, which I’m seeing tonight, alongside the regular A episode business.  Until Monday, have a stellar weekend, see Shang Chi if you are safely and financially able to, avoid judgement, and sweat it out!

Good Monday! It's been a quiet weekend so I changed things up a touch with the podcast format, starting off with the news and rumors segment! The news this week brings us the official announcement of a Black Canary movie on HBO Max starring Journee Smollet, the casting of Poison Ivy for Batwoman, and rumors of Multiverse of Madness and the Flash movie!

Then it's off to the comic pull list, where I am happy to be able to spotlight a off number of comics with excellent character and/or creator representation! That list includes two Mirka Andolfo projects, Joelle Jones' Wonder Girl, Peach Momoko's Demon Days reimagining of the Marvel Universe, and more! It's a wonderful week for positive representation. 

Finally, the last thing I talk about on this episode are the November Marvel and DC comics solicitations. Marvel's list includes a number of one-shots and mini series', while DC's is a whole lot of bat-family goodness! There's so much to look forward to at the end of the year, and always more being added on!

I'll be back this Friday, September 3rd for the weekly B episode, covering the comic book Pick list, What If...? Episode 4, Titans episode 6, and anything else relevant for discussion! Have a chill week, stay positive, and sweat it out about comics!

Happy Friday! We've got a slightly shorter "B" episode this week, starting off by covering the comic book pick list! This week's list includes Barbaric #3, Marvel's Voices: Identity #1, which celebrates Asian superheroes and creators, and Batman: Reptilian #3, among others. 

The two shows I'm discussing on this episode are Marvel's What If...? episode three and Titans on HBO Max episode five! Both give a great deal to talk about and theorize over!

I'll be back on Monday, August 30th for our last episode of the month, featuring the comics Pull List the news, and more!

It's Tuesday, again! I took a gamble on the rumors being true about a Spider-Man trailer and waited off on the podcast till today--my gamble was correct! Last night debut the first teaser trailer for Jon Watts' No Way Home, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya! And in this podcast, I go over it all. From comics inspiration to potential plotlines, character cameos to barely-there clip flashes, I dissect the hell out of this bid deal trailer. 

There's comics talk, too, of course, covering everything on my personal pull list for the week, including the delightful Cinnamon, Extreme Carnage: Riot, Marvel's Voices: Identity (celebrating Asian characters and creators), Stephanie Phillips' Harley Quinn, and more! I always have new comics to talk about, and they take up the first half (or so) of this episode. 

I'll be back on Friday, August 27th for Episode 31B, covering the comic book pick list of things I found worthy of discussion, but also Marvel's What If...? episode 3 on Disney+ and Titans episode 5 on HBO Max! (Make sure to check out the links below, some are new!)

Hello world! I'm recording this week's "B" episode early on Thursday, but I still have a exciting, long episode for you all! After a brief bit of smaller news stories (including how the premier of Riri Williams' Ironheart will be in Wakanda Forever!), we go directly into the weekly comic book pick list. It was an enormous week of comics to discuss, but my favorites were easily the Trial of Magneto #1, Superman and the Authority #2, and Killer Queens #1! For an explanation on Tom King's Bat/Cat relationship as it's been laid out so far, and for how to understand the events of Batman/Catwoman, see episode 20A!

After the comics are the shows, which this week means What If...? episode 2 on Disney+ and Titans season 3 episode 4 on HBO Max! The former held an episode titled "What if T'challa became Starlord?" and offered a ton of delightful alternatives to the Guardians of the Galaxy and various Avengers casts, while the former introduced a fan favorite villain in an episode named after her: Blackfire. Being enamored with her portrayal in the show so far, I did some research on Komand'r's comic origin and history to compare to her show version as we see it play out, all of which is discussed here.

The two trailers that came out this week were for Star Wars Visions, an anthology anime series of 9 episodes created by seven top-tier Japanese animation studios, and the second was for Eternals, in which we got the first bit of plot details for the upcoming MCU film. I'm desperately excited about both projects, and have all the information available for them discussed in the episode.

Finally, and importantly, I'm talking this week about Substack. If you're a comics fan, odds are you've heard this company name floating around your circles of late, and there's several valid reasons why. In this discussion, I cover the topics of: What is going on with Substack? What creators have signed on? What is the creator draw to Substack? Is this sustainable? How will this impact the comics industry as a whole? And, what are the criticisms? I hope I answer any questions or concerns you may have over this topic, but I'd also like to know the opinions on Substack and what they're doing right now, from other comics readers, specifically. Are you planning on subscribing? Will it replace your traditional pull list? Do YOU think it will last, or will drastically change the industry? Let me know your thoughts!

I'll be back for episode 31A on Monday, August 23rd, discussing the coming comic book pull list for the week, possibly the finale of Superman and Lois, and whatever hits the news between now and then. Till then, party responsibly, live with empathy, and get sweaty about what you love.

Hello Monday! This week's "A" episode starts as normal, with the weekly comic book pull list! This week's incoming comics include a good deal of indie #1's some final issues, and three different Tom King titles! For an explanation on King's Bat/Cat romance as we've seen it play out so far, see episode 20A!

The big TV event of the past few days was the finale episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 1. I loved the whole thing, which was full of tension, passion, and emotion! All of which are discussed in depth, as well as theories for the next season and where characters will go from here. 

Finally, in the news, I discuss some theories I have for Titans season 3, the announcement of the Wonder Woman Evolution series, Nichelle Nichols' (see: Star Trek's Lt. Uhura) conservatorship situation, and the coming episode of What If...?, which will be sure to tug on all of our heartstrings just a bit. And don't forget, Shang Chi tickets are now on sale!

I'll be back this Friday, August 20th with an episode that will include the weekly comic book Pick list, discussion of Titans episode 4 and What If...? episode 2, possibly as well as the episodes of Superman and Lois I've missed, but no promises on that one. In the meantime, have an excellent week, and stay sweaty!

Bwah-buh-buh-Bwaaahhh (air horn noises) It's another extra-sized podcast episode on this lucky Friday the 13th!

This week had SO much to talk about, I didn't want to leave anything out! We start the episode as usual with the comic book pick list, discussing titles like Mamo, Daredevil, Captain Marvel, and Fantastic Four: Life Story! After the pick list is a special segment on Free Comic Book Day 2021, which takes pace this Saturday, August 14th at your local comic book stores! Pop in during their event hours for a selection of FREE comics, which I highlight my personal upcoming favorites from here!

After comics chat is the shows! We have three shows to discuss this week, starting with the premier of What If...? on Disney+. The premier episode was "What if...Peggy Carter was the first Avenger?" And boy, did it ROCK! I discuss all the relevant information about the episode relating to comic history, of course! After What If...? is Titans, season 3! The first 3 episodes were dropped on HBO Max yesterday, and they. were. epic! From a Death in the Family to the Killing Joke to every Easter egg I could find, it's a long, excitable discussion of this first releases from Titans season 3! Finally, I briefly discuss Taika Waititi's Reservation Dogs, another amazing show that premiered recently, which I cannot recommend enough to fans of Waititi's humor and storytelling style. Available to binge the first two episodes on Hulu!

Once we get past the TV talk, onto the news! This week's news includes the casts of Netflix's Wednesday, which will follow Wednesday Addams and her parents, as well as Netflix's live-action Avatar remake. While I'm hesitant about the latter for obvious reasons, the showrunners of this new Avatar seem to have a solid grasp of where they're going with the show and it's characters.

The last bit of news I wanted to share today involved Tim Drake officially becoming a member of the LGBTQ+ community at DC comics. I found a truly stellar article from Nerdist writer Eric Diaz on why this is an important development, both historically and in modern comics history. You can find the article here, or listen to me read it for you during this episode, because Diaz hit exactly the points I had in mind-- and so eloquently. Major Kudos.

The episode wraps up with a brief statement on how Disney's Jungle Cruise is so much like a remake of The Mummy (1999). Trust me, I'll walk you through this one! It'll be fun, I promise.

I'll be back this coming Monday, August 16th for another "A" episode, following the new comic book pulls for the week, the finale of Star Wars: the Bad Batch (which premiers tonight on Disney+), and any other industry news or speculation that breaks between now and then! Have a great weekend, stay hydrated, don't be a Karen, and do be sweaty!

This week's "A" Episode is appearing on Tuesday due to technical difficulties, of sorts. We kick things off this week with the usual weekly comic book pull list, including I am Batman #0, Mamo #2, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, and more! 

After that is the discussion of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad! Spoilers and mild disappointment abound. What? Disappointment?? Yep. I try to explain as clearly as I can why I only watched the movie once over the weekend. However, my discussion also includes summaries of each character's comic iteration compared with the movie version!

After that is a talk exploring episode 5 of the Bad Batch, which has its series finale this Friday. "Return to Kamino" held a number of key reveals, some curious teases, and a cliffhanger ending!

Finally, I clap back at some commenter who argued She-Hulk MUST be tortured to leave the Avengers, and how that IS bad writing. If I can come up with a more compelling story than the professional writer, maybe things aren't going too well.

I'll be back this coming Friday, August 13th with episode 29B, which will focus on the comic book pick list, the initial episode of What If...? on Disney+, and potentially the season premier of Titans season 3! Till then, stay hydrated, stay healthy, and stay sweaty.

Hello, listeners! This week's B episode is a touch shorter than usual, s I'm recording it on Thursday instead of the usual Friday, and a number of Indie comics were delayed to my shop. Still, we have a great discussion of my favorite (so far) new comic book day picks, including The Me You Love in the Dark #1, X-Men #2, and Suicide Squad: Get Joker #1!

The news is mainly taken up by not-quite-official announcements of a few castings for the Ahsoka show on Disney+, and what that would mean for the plot of the live-action show. 

Finally, the episode wraps up with a discussion of the upcoming Trail of Magento series by Leah Williams and Lucas Werneck. The discussion includes the recent preview pages, statements from the creators, and my personal theories based on the histories of the characters. 

I'll be back like usual Monday, August 9th for episode 29A, where I will be discussing James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, out this weekend! I'll also cover the next week's comic book pull list, and the second-to-last episode of Star Wars: the Bad Batch! Have a stellar weekend, do good, and be sweaty.

Another Monday, another weekly A podcast episode! Today, we kick things off with the weekly comic book pull list. I'm delighted to be doing spotlights on comics of excellent representation again this week, including Maria Llovet's Porcelain, Victoria Douglas' Cinnamon, Taboo and B. Earl's Spirit Rider, the second Horizon Zero Dawn series, and more! This week has the final issue of Maurene Goo and Takeshi Miyazawa's Silk series, the second-to-last of Sensational Wonder Woman, and a good deal of other #1's!

Then it's on to Friday's episode of the Bad Batch--ep. 14. While it ended with a serious problem for the Batch, it was an intriguing episode as we close in to the end of this 16-episode series!

After that is my discussion of the new trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage! It looks pretty fun, but Woody Harrelson is no doubt going to totally steal the show. 

Finally, I end the episode with a discussion spurred by a recent online article/interview with Matt Damon, and the problematic ideas it presented. TL;DR: the end of theaters is not the end of entertainment media, and the writer should have done some--any-- comic book research. 

I'll be back this Friday, August 6th with episode 28B, focusing on comic book Picks from this week's NCBD! Don't forget Friday is also the premier of James Gunn's the Suicide Squad, in theaters and on HBO Max! I'll be watching it then and reviewing it on my episode next Monday, 29A, on Aug. 9th! Till then, stay hydrated, don't cast judgement, and get sweaty over your hobbies.

It's Friday, everyone! This week's "B" episode is a little shorter than what I've been putting out recently because there was no Wednesday media to dissect, and the news was a bit quiet. Still, I have a long list of new comics from this week to discuss, including Mirka Andolfo's Sweet Paprika #1, Barbaric and Batman Reptilian #2, and the final issues of Cable, Beta Ray Bill, and Eternals. 

Since comics talk makes up the bulk of this episode, I didn't list any time stamps to follow, but the news and rumors segments is at the end! Covering Mirka Andolfo's Red Sonja, Shang Chi marketing, Michael B Jordan's Superman movie, and some more MCU rumors! 

I'll be back on Monday, AUGUST 2nd for another episode covering the weekly comic book pull list, tonight's episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and whatever other relevant news hits the internet between now and then! Till that time, stay safe, stay hungry, and keep it sweaty.

Hiya, folks! This Monday brings us a HUGE comic book pull list for the week, including a total of 21 comics discussed! Highlights include the Mighty Valkyries, Batman Reptilian, Sonjaversal, Strange Adventures, and the return of Amazing Fantasy! These comics will come out Wednesday the 28th, or Tuesday the 27th for DC comics. 

After a short blurb on the 13th episode of the Bad Batch, I'm covering Marvel's October solicitations! We did DC last week, so it's only fair. There are a ton of exciting things coming out in October, and I've picked out a bunch of ones I'm looking forward to!

I had to stop the normal podcast, at this point, to talk about something important I forgot to mention last Friday: Marauders #22, which undid a long-ago wrong to a strong female character who always deserved better. Not only did they undo the wrong, they made it so she never went through the worsts of it in the first place. Now that's a retcon I can completely get on board with, and I talk about the meaningful details here. 

After a little MCU and Pokemon project news, the podcast today wraps up with a list of Eisner Award winners! The awards were granted over the weekend when Comic Con San Diego would normally be happening, and I'm thrilled to recognize a number of the titles and creators. 

I'll be back this coming Friday, July 30th for our last July episode, covering the new comics Pick list, breaking news and speculation, and whatever else becomes relevant between now and then! Till then, have an excellent week, and stay sweaty.

Happy Friday! Today's podcast starts with the comic book pick list, including The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, Superman and the Authority, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, and more! I had a great time with some of the reads from this week, and am so excited to go over this discussion!

After that is the discussion of the Loki Assembled behind-the-scenes episode, which was far superior to the first two! We got some delightful insights to some of the best parts of the show, and enough crew interviews to get a good feel of the making of the show. 

For news this week, we're talking Dune's trailer, castings for Batgirl and an unknown (but exciting!) Wakanda Forever role, and update on the Galactus HasLab project! 

I'll be back this coming Monday, July 26th, for another A episode featuring the weekly comic book pick list, tonight's episode of the Bad Batch, and more news and speculation! Until then, stay kind, and stay sweaty.

Happy Friday, happy New Moon, and happy Black Widow day!

Today's episode starts off with the weekly comic book pick list, including a number of fantastic reads! My favorites were Wonder Girl #2, X-Men #1, Karmen #5, Mamo #1, the Good Asian #3, and several others! I wasn't so keen on what Jason Aaron is doing to Jen Walters in Avengers, though. 

After the pick list is the weekly LOKI discussion, this time covering Wednesday's 5th episode! There was a lot revealed, a lot to see and laugh about, and some incredible theories after this second-to-last episode! The podcast this week wraps up with the news from Marvel's What If...? show, coming next month on Disney+! It'll be a wild ride and a fun, creative look at what could have happened differently in the MCU. 

I'll be back on Monday, July 12th to discuss BLACK WIDOW as well as the Bad Batch episode 11, and the weekly comics pull list! Don't miss out!

Hello everyone! This week's "A" episode is coming out on Tuesday instead of Monday due to the holiday over the weekend! Sorry if that threw anyone off!

The bulk of this Tuesday podcast episode follows my weekly comic pull list. This week I discuss 13 different new comics, including the beginnings of X-Men, Ordinary Gods, Mamo, and Fights Girls, the ending of Karmen, my thoughts on the coming World War She-Hulk, and nothing but excitement and admiration for Wonder Girl and Sensational Wonder Woman!

Following the pull list is the discussion of the most recent episode of Star Wars: the Bad Batch. Episode 10 was titled Common Ground, and was a great one for fans of droids and proving Omega's usefulness. Finally, I wrap up the episode by addressing the new rumors surrounding Wolverine in the MCU.

Good morning people! Today is Friday July 2nd, and this is episode 24B! This week's Friday episode starts off with the comic book Pick list: things I found great or interesting from the week's new comic book day reads. Some of the heavy-hitters for me were Barbaric #1, X-Factor #10, and Monstress #35, among the total of 11 discussed this week! 

After the picks list is the discussion of Loki episode four on Disney+! This week's episode was far superior to the last, IMO, with a plethora of tidbits to pick up on, theories to speculate about, and reveals to excite us all! That end credits scene, whew! I go over the whole shebang, here.

Then it's the news! There won't be an episode of Superman and Lois for the next few weeks, which is honestly fine, but the big ticket news item of the day is the Trial of Magneto! After the ending events of X-Factor #10, Leah Williams is bringing fab artist Lucas Werneck to this 2+ issue arc starting in August. Paired with a stunning Mark Brooks homage to Michelangelo's Pieta, this series is a lot to look forward to!

The episode wraps up today with brief discussion of the leaked and subsequently announced Spider-Man 3 suit for Peter Parker. It's design tells us a few important things about the movie, which is coming out in December. 

I'll be back on Empire Day--this Monday, July 5th, for episode 25A, discussing the comic comics book pull list, tonight's episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and any breaking news and announcements!

Another Monday, another podcast "A" episode! This week starts off with the usual Pull list, where we have a handful of annuals and anniversary issues, a handful of #1's, and some great indie and cape comics!

After the pull list, I'm delighted to go over the most recent episode of Star Wars' The Bad Batch on Disney+, which was episode 9! This one was probably my favorite episode of the show yet, and there are a lot of cool reveals to be discussed! 

Finally, I end the episode on some Harley Quinn discussion, specifically revolving around the often continued "queer coding" of her character. While Harley and Ivy officially came "out" as romantic partners recently in canon, I go over a little of the history of their relationship, the problem with writing off queer characters, and of course, the Harley Quinn animated series' new upcoming comic, Harley Quinn: The Eat, Bang, Kill Tour! If the title alone doesn't get you, I have plenty of other reasons you might fid this series enjoyable. 

I'll be back this coming Friday, JULY 2nd, for episode 24B, which will focus on Loki ep4, the comic book pick list, and whatever is newsworthy in he industry between now and then! In the meantime, stay hydrated, and get sweaty about comics!

Happy Friday! This Friday episode starts with the usual weekly comic book pick list, and boy did we have some great picks! I mostly discuss Homesick Pilot #6, Harley Quinn #4, and Batman: Reptilian #1, but also touch on Silk, Captain Marvel, Marvel Voices Pride, and some others! 

After the picks, we go straight into this week's third episode of Loki. It was a very different watching experience than the previous two, and not necessarily in good ways. But we did learn some integral information about the TVA and our cast of characters, and I discuss all the speculation as well!

After a brief mention of Superman and Lois, I discuss the new trailers for The Suicide Squad and Shang Chi! I'm excited for both movies, for totally different reasons. And since Shang-Chi has such an involved world it's tying into, there are a  lot of Easter eggs to be on the lookout for!

Finally, this week's podcasts wrap up with the news of a new era for the Amazing Spider-Man, complete with some major switch-ups, including the return of Ben Reilly! There's a whole new set of creatives on these new projects, so if you're a fan of Spider-Man, you'll want to stay in the loop!

I'll be back for a new episode this coming Monday, June 28th, where I'll discuss the coming week's comic book pull list, tonight's episode  of the Bad Batch, and whatever other news or speculation rears it's head between now and then! In the meantime, stay cool this hot summer; hydrate, hippies; practice empathy; get sweaty about comics!

Hello and happy first day of summer! Today's "A" episode starts with the regular weekly comic book pull list, including 18 comics from a variety of publishers! My spotlights on representation this week are for Marvel's Voices: Pride #1 Silk #4, Harley Quinn #4, Captain Marvel #29, and Eros and Psyche #4. Between excellent female creators and interesting female characters, this is a big week for women and the queer community in comics!

Then I go over this past Friday's episode of the Bad Batch, episode 8, where Crosshair finally catches up to the gang, and a fan-favorite (although certainly not my own favorite) character from Clone Wars makes a sneaky return. 

The DCEU had some exciting BTS-pics released this week, some official and some leaked from set. The picture of behind-the-scenes on the Flash movie set show some interesting insights and leave room for tons of speculation, while the official Shazam Family photo for Fury of the Gods makes me excited for a much more mature take!

Finally, this morning saw the release of the first official Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins movie trailer! While I'm far from being a Joe's sweaty, I know enough to be able to appreciate the movie for what it is, and have a few insights to the actors' histories. 

I'll be back this Friday, June 25th, for another episode focusing on Wednesday's Loki episode 3, the comic book Pick list, and whatever news or speculation breaks between now and then! In the meantime, have a blessed solstice, and remember to get sweaty.

Happy Friday to you all! As Loki episode 2 premiered on Wednesday, this "A" episode starts with my discussion of it! There are some interesting theories to unpack, so check it out!

Then there's the comic book pick list, going over my favorite things from this week's comics! The list this week includes The Mighty Valkyries, the Many Deaths of Laila Starr, Luna, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Sonjaversal, Planet Size X-Men, and of course, Demon Days: Mariko. I love how female-forward this weeks reads were! 

I only have a few comments to make on the latest episode of Superman and Lois, unfortunately, which is followed by the news of an additional Castlevania series, the Marvel Dark Ages AU finally being re-announced, and finally, my statement on if superheroes do or don't (they do).

I wrap up the episode with a brief explanation of Juneteenth, since the holiday is tomorrow, and it is the first time the government officially recognizes the holiday. If you're unsure of how to feel about the holiday or it's name, I do my best to explain it in understandable terms. 

I'll be back this coming Monday, June 21st, to discuss the coming comics pull list, tonight's episode of the Bad Batch, and whatever other news or speculation shows up between now and then! Stay hydrated; stay sweaty.

It's a new week, and a new Monday "A" episode! Today's podcast starts off with my discussion of the Bad Batch episode seven, which covered a fair amount of ground, including the introduction of Rex to Omega! Gotta love it when worlds collide, even if they're just the same universe. 

My weekly comic book pull list is a beast this week! It includes popular gems such as Demon Days: Mariko #1, Planet-Size X-Men #1, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1, and more for the Hellfire Gala, but also indie treasures like the final issue of Maria Llovet's Luna, Ram V and Filipe Andrade's the Many Deaths of Laila Star #3, the ridiculously pleasing Sonjaversal #5, and so much more! Specifically, I talk about a whopping 21 different comics that are releasing this week!

Finally, to end on a happ(iest place on earth)y note, I talk a little about Avengers Campus at Disney's California Adventure! I had previously gone through announced expectations, but now that the park is open to visitors, I have a little more information on hos things are, what the expect, and what you'll see and eat! I haven't been myself, but I's so love to!

I'll be back this Friday, June 18th for episode 22B, which will cover the best things out of this new comic book week, this Wednesday's second episode of Loki, and whatever news and theories break in nerd culture between now and then! Until then, stay cool, but get sweaty :)

Hello and Happy Friday! Today's "B" episode starts with the weekly comic pick list, including Karmen #4, the Hellfire Gala X-Men comics, and a few more great additions. The main event, however, is the Loki episode 1 discussion! I'm covering comic factoids, references, theories, character names and general plot points for what was an excellent pilot episode! Loki episodes on Disney+ premier on Wednesdays, and I will discuss them on Friday's going forward. 

After a brief discussion of the questionable Superman and Lois episode 9 reveal, it's on to comic book culture news and updates, including the title announcement for Aquaman 2, the first news of War of the Rohirrim, a new arc of the Man-Eaters comic, Marvel Venom and Hulk comic series updates, the Millarworld on Netflix as well as their upcoming live-action Cowboy Bebop show, and finally, the Titania casting news for She-Hulk on Disney+!

I wrap this one up with a quick walk-through of this year's Eisner Nominee list--the Eisner awards are the Oscars of the comic-writing world, so it's a big deal and well celebrated each year. Congratulations to all the nominees!

I'll be back this coming Monday, June 14th, for episode 22A, which will include the coming comic book pull list, the new episode of the Bad Batch (premiering today on Disney+), and whatever news and speculation breaks between now and then! In the meantime, stay cool this warm, late-spring weekend, but DO get sweaty about comics!

It's Monday again! This week's "A" starts regularly with the comic book pull list, spotlighting DC Pride #1, The good Asian #2, Children of the Atom #4, and Far Sector #12 (the final issue!), plus the rest of the regular pull list!

After the comics chat is my discussion of the Bad Batch episode six, as well as the first few episodes of Sweet Tooth on Netflix. I'm not at all familiar with the source material of that one, so my take might be a little...off? Still, it was fun to talk about, and Bad Batch is always a gem!

For news, we have discussions of Spider-Woman's casting for the Into the Spider-Verse sequel, and there's a lot to theorize about it! Finally, there is a prelude to Wednesday's Loki premier on Disney+, and brand-new rumors of certain Atlanteans appearing in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The source is sketchy, but it's still fun to deliberate!

I'll be back this Friday, June 12th for episode 21B, which will cover my new comic book day picks, Loki's premier, and whatever news or speculation breaks between now and then! Until then, stay sweaty!

Hello on this Friday! Today's "B" episode starts with the regular comic book pick list, showcasing what was good and interesting in this week's comics! This week I have a lot to say about a few titles, including the start to the Hellfire Gala for the Marvel X-Men, the fifth of twelve issues of Batman/Catwoman, Jed McKay's ever-glorious Black Cat, and the final issue of Sean Lewis and Caitlin Yarksy's Bliss--one of the most touching single issues of a comic I have ever read. Seriously, if you pick up just one comic this week, make it Bliss #8, in order to read the incredibly poignant ending story. 

After comics talk is Superman and Lois, which itself was surprisingly touching, as well. I had to stop and talk a bit about how great the character of Lois Lane is portrayed as, and how awesome it is to see her continually working to better herself and get through her deep-seeded issues, no matter how perfect she seems on the outside. 

The news this week follows Netflix's Jupiter's Legacy and Marvel's Thor: Love and Thunder! One was cancelled, and one finished filming--you get three guesses as to which is which, and the first two don't count. 

Sweet Tooth premiers on Netflix today, as well as another episode of the Bad Batch on Disney+! I'll talk about both on Monday's episode 21A, along with the coming comic book pull list and whatever additional news and speculation drops over the weekend! In the meantime, have some fun as we get closer to summer, and remain sweaty about comics, always.

Hello everybody! I hope you have time to relax over the weekend, or are able to find that time in the coming week. 

Today's "A" episode starts with the regular comic book pull list for the week, prefaced by my explanation of the Tom King Batman/Catwoman (Bruce/Selina) relationship as per how he's laid it out, and what we're learning in the 12-issue (plus one annual!) Batman/Catwoman series alongside artist Clay Mann. 

After the week's pull list, I go into discussion the recent official announcement of Oscar Isaac playing Marc Spector's Moon Knight! The self-titled show is meant to premier on Disney+ in 2022, and here I go over all the information we know so far, as well as a good deal of popular speculation. 

Finally, the episode wraps up with Horizon: Zero Dawn! The 2017 Game of the Year winner is finally back with a full-bodied sequel! This new story will take Aloy out west, to see familiar sights in ways we've never seen them before, and battle machines and animals she's never before encountered. Not only do we have that coming, we also have a second HZD comic series on the way! This second run will be called Horizon Zero Dawn: Liberation (as opposed to the first volume's Sunhawk title), and retains game-writer Anne Toole as series writer alongside a new team of creatives. While Sunhawk took place after the first game's story and mostly from the perspective of a new character, here I talk about what makes this new series different from the last--but just as exciting!

I'll be back for a regularly scheduled episode this Friday, June 4th! Until then, keep an eye out for my SAILOR MOON Podcast Special! Prefacing the upcoming Netflix Eternal movies, I'll be discussing the manga arc being used for inspiration, the original anime's version of the same arc, refreshing where we left off on Sailor Moon Crystal, and adding in my own experience with the format, and what makes this particular "retro" series still so cool today! That'll be out Thursday before I watch the movies, if you're interested! Otherwise, have an excellent week, and get sweaty about your hobbies!

Happy...er, Sunday?! SO sorry I got behind on this week's "B" podcast, but life got in the way! It's here, now, with an extra half-hour more run-time than usual! Whoops?

This episode starts with the usual Comic Book Pick List, featuring things that I loved or thought were noteworthy out of this week's new comic book releases. The pick list discussion includes a solid chunk of time dedicated to this week's X-Men #20 before diving into Beta Ray Bill #3, Made in Korea #1, Monstress #34, and Strange Adventures #10, among others! With great reads comes great discussions!

Then it's on to the week's media consumption, including catching up on the Bad Batch and Superman and Lois, my basic thought son Hulu's Modok, and the finale episodes of Black Lightning! For news, casting announcements for Secret Invasion, Sony's Kraven, and HBO's Green Lanterns are joined by news of an Okoye origin show coming to Disney+!

Finally, the episode wraps up with some fun (?) MCU-related rumors, including one about December's Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the other about the newly announced Captain America 4--an both involve the rumored villains! 

I'll be back this coming TUESDAY, June 1st, with an episode going over the week's comic book pull list, as well as whatever more new and speculation gets out until then! In the meantime, thank you for listening, and for your patience with this episode's lateness. Wherever you're from, have a delightful, nerd-sweat-filled weekend!

Good Monday, world!

This morning brought us the first teaser trailer for Marvel's Eternals movie, coming out this November! As a bit of a "left-field" Marvel movie, this trailer settled most concerns that the film would be a bust. With an all-star cast of all types and ranges, a plethora of material to pull from, and basically a universe worth of material to introduce, this trailer made me certain Eternals won't miss the mark. 

Unfortunately, Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead DID miss the mark, and by a lot. While I can take gore and violence in movies without much problem, there was a lot that added to what made this movie a big problem, and left me not only extremely disappointed, but mildly confused as to how it even got green-lit in the first pace. It just wasn't very good, and I have the receipts here as to why. 

To end things on a lighter note, I finish off the episode with this week's Comic Book Pull List! With a lot coming out again this week, there's certainly something for everyone to look forward to. 

I'll be back for a new episode (19B) this Friday, May 28th, where I will be discussing my Comic Book Picks--things I found great or noteworthy out of this week's comics-- as well as going over the Bad Batch episode 4 and any other news and theories that spark between now and then! Until that time, do your best this week, and always get sweaty about your hobbies!

Good Friday Everyone! 

This week's "B" episode starts off like usual with the week's comic book picks--things I found to be great or noteworthy in the weeks comic pulls. Today's discussion focused on titles like Sonjaversal, Wonder Girl, The Many Deaths of Laila Starr, and Daredevil, with shorter bits on Luna, the Mighty Valkyries, and a few others.

After the comic books picks is the news! For the DC Extended Universe, there were announcements this week about at least two HBO animated projects, leaks of Matt Reeve's The Batman costumes, and Injustice: Gods Among Us finally hitting the big screen! After a brief discussion of Lucasfilm "news," it's on to a fun talk about the just-announced Avengers Campus eats! Careful, if you haven't had lunch, this segment will make you hungry!

I'll be back on Monday, May 24th for a brand new episode, 19A, where I will be discussing the upcoming week of comic book pulls, Superman and Lois' return to the CW, the Bad Batch episode 4 (which premiers today on Disney+), potentially Army of the Dead (which premiers today on Netflix), and anything else that pops up as newsworthy in the comics industries! Until then, have a stellar weekend, and get sweaty bout something fun!

Hello on this fine Monday! I did today's "A" episode a little different, starting with news and speculation! This section includes info on the fifth Indiana Jones movie, upcoming film and TV releases, and news of AT&T beefing up to cage-fight Disney!

Then there is the comic book pull list, featuring a plethora of new and ongoing series'! The episode wraps up with a brief note on Castlevania season 4, and discussion of the Bad Batch episode 3, which was a great one! 

I'll be back Friday, May 21st for episode 18B, which will feature the comic book Pick List, discussion of Black Lightning episodes, and whatever news and updates may happen between now and then! Have a fantastic week, everyone, and be authentically sweaty!

Happy Friday! Since this was a bit of a quieter week, this episode is mostly over the new comic book day releases that I found to be fantastic, minus Fantastic Four, which was a travesty, and I explain why (written by Dan Slott which I kept mis-remembering while recording, whoops!). The good comics include Karmen #3, Children of the Atom #3, Silk #3, Time Before Time #1, X-Factor #9 (of 10), Silver City #1, Justice League Last Ride #1, Batman the Detective #2, and finally Black Cat #6! 

After covering NCBD, I have one bit of news surrounding the comic Bitter Root from Image, and it's really exciting news! I wrap up the episode with personal she-geek-life notes about my Black Widow theory, a cool decade-old comic poster I didn't know I had, and some thoughts on the character of Clea, who's reading list I have completed, and will have uploaded to my site later today! www.sensationalshegeek.weebly.com

I'll be back on Monday, May 17th for episode 18A, where I will be talking about the upcoming comics pull list, the Bad Batch episode 3, and Castlevania season 4! Have a fulfilling weekend, and always stay sweaty!

Good Monday to you all! 

This week starts off with the usual comic book pull list, but before I get into all that, I wanted to talk a little about the comics and toy hunting we did over the weekend, and some of the amazing finds we brought home! Then, we can talk about new comics. 

After the new comics pull list, I go over the recent tenth episode of Black Lightning, where things really seem to be wrapping up. After Black Lighting is Jupiter's Legacy, and I go over the first season as a whole! Some critiques, some praise, it's a mix bag this Monday. Finally, we had the second episode of the Bad Batch premier Friday on Disney Plus, so I talk a bit about that episode and what we learned. 

The podcast today wraps up with my reaction towards the brand new Venom: Let there be Carnage trailer, which dropped just this morning! While full of a solid cast and crew, this movie looks to be heading to hit right about where to first did---making it a great movie to watch at home and laugh about. But I'd be happy to be wrong!

I'll be back for episode 17B this Friday, May 14th, to discuss my comic book picks and things I found noteworthy in this week's comic book releases, as well as whatever news and speculation breaks between now and then. Until then, take it easy, make the art you want to make, and get sweaty about your hobbies!

Happy Friday! This week's "B" episode starts off with the regular comic book pick list, which this week included The Good Asian #1, Eden #1, Bliss #7, and more!

After that is a very, very brief note on the Falcon and the Winter Soldier behind-the-scenes Assembled episode, leading into a long discussion of the recent MCU sizzle reel! The clip included previews of upcoming MCU films as well as official release dates and titles for the Black Panther and Captain Marvel sequels! I even go into some chat about the characters and actors of the upcoming Eternals movie.

Then there is the Bad Batch premier discussion, going over the events of the hour+ first episode! I was pretty pleased with it, and am looking forward to where the show goes from here!

Finally, in the news and speculation segment, I talk about the newly announced Lady Killer movie, the casting of Red Sonja, fan concerns over the forthcoming Superman property, and then the Sailor Moon Eternal trailer! 

I'll be back Monday, May 10th with a new episode covering comic book pulls of the week as well as whatever comic news breaks between now and then! Have a great weekend!

Happy Monday *the 3rd * everyone! This podcast episode was pre-recorded, so this morning's Marvel movie title announcements will be discussed on Fridays 16B episode, alongside the Falcon and the Winter Soldier Behind-the-Scenes episode!

This week's "A" episode starts off by covering a few of my comic picks from last week, including Silk, Beta Ray Bill, and a few fun others! Then I go straight into this week's Pull List, discussing the notable comics coming out this week, which includes a new Red Sonja series by legendary creators, more America Chavez, some stellar indie comics, and Sensational Wonder Woman--the women-led anthology series celebrating Diana's 80th anniversary!

After a brief discussion of the recent 9th episode of Black Lightning's final season, I get to talk about season one of INVINCIBLE on Amazon Prime! The finale aired this past week, so if you don't want spoilers: skip this section! It was a surprising show, based off another infamous Robert Kirkman comic series. I wrap up the Geek TV section with some brief comments on the Netflix She-Ra series, which I watched for the first time this weekend!

Last is the news, which includes casting announcements from the HBO Green Lantern project and Titans season three, creator announcements from the Static Shock and Iron Heart projects, and my personal favorite of the bunch, the announcement of a new Sailor Moon movie coming to Netflix June 3rd!

I'll be back for episode 16B this Friday, May 7th, to discuss this week's new and noteworthy comic books, the Falcon and the Winter Solider episode of Assembled on Disney+, this morning's MCU title announcements and teases, and any other news or speculation that hits between now and then! I hope to see you back for that next episode, but either way--have empathy towards others, and remain authentically sweaty.

Heyo guys so this is obviously not an actual podcast episode, due to technical hardware and internet difficulties. I'm so sorry if that disappoints anyone (but also yay! regular listeners!), but I will be back like usual Monday with our regularly scheduled episode 16A, featuring next week's comic book pull list and a discussion of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier Behind the Scenes, which premiers today on Disney+! I'll also go over anything we missed from this week by way of news and speculation, so no one misses out on the fun of comics in pop culture!

Again, my apologies if this is a disappointment, but I will be back with a make-up episode Monday, May 3rd! 

Till then, toodles!

Happy Pink-Moon Monday!

This week's A episode starts off with the big-ticket item for the day: the finale of Falcon and the Winter Solder! It was a great wrap-up, and I discuss all the deets here. 

Then I talk about the Mortal Kombat movie on HBO Max, which I had a lot of fun with! I also had a great time this weekend binging Invincible on Amazon Prime, and I talk about my thoughts on the show thus-far, before it has its finale this Friday. No spoilers for Invincible, that'll be next week!

I have some thoughts bout the Shang Chi movie, as well, specifically the character of Awkwafina's Katy and the mysterious "Great Protector" dragon. After that, it's finally into the new comics Pull List for the week, which includes spotlights on women, LGBTQ+, and creators of color. I wrap this segment up with a tip on how you might be able to get a very valuable comic this week from your own local comic shop, so stick around to check that out! I wrap things up with a few announcements based on DC and Marvel's July comics solicitations.

I'll be back Friday, April 30th, to discuss what was best from this week's new comic book day, as well as any other comic industry or geeky news and updates! Have a sweaty week!

Hello there!

This week's Friday "B" episode starts off with New Comic Book Day, discussing about my favorite things from this week's comic book releases! The talk includes great indie titles like The Many Deaths of Laila Starr #1, Luna #3, and Monstress #43, plus a bunch of goodies from Marvel, like The Mighty Valkyries #1, the Eternals #4, Captain Marvel, and Spider-Woman, the Women of Marvel anthology one-shot, and DC's Catwoman. 

Then it's on the Black Lightning season 4 episode 8, which was a bit of a filler/catch-up episode after last week's Painkiller pilot, but there was still a lot to discuss and look forward to for next time. 

For news and updates, we have casting conformations for the Flash movie at DC and Thor: Love and Thunder at Marvel, plus some casting news and speculation for the upcoming Marvel Secret Wars show on Disney+! 

I wrap things up with the new Sony streaming updates, and finally some excited chatter about the forthcoming Wonder Girl series by Joelle Jones, staring Yara Flor!

I'll be back Monday, April 26th for discussing the Falcon and the Winter Soldier finale, as well as HBO's Mortal Kombat movie! Have a great weekend, and get sweaty about your favorite nerdy stuff!

Good Monday everyone and what a Monday it is! I woke up this morning to see the first teaser trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings had dropped online! What a superb wat to start a sweaty week.

But first! I start the episode talking this week's comic book pull list, spotlighting comics written by and starring women. These also happen to be my favorite comics coming out this week, and include Luna #3, Monstress #33, Women of Marvel #1, Spider-Woman #11, and Captain Marvel #28. There are a lot of other comics I discuss as well, but those are the headliners of the week!

After that, it's the regular Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode discussion, this week covering Friday's episode five. Following last week's bombshell, there was a lot to unpack, and we're definitely getting to a precipice of fan speculation. All discussed here!

Then, finally, we can talk about Shang-Chi, and why there are so many reasons to be excited for this ground-breaking MCU film. From Awkwafina to the San Francisco backdrop; from the comics inspiration to modern Asian-American culture---of all the segments this week, I was most looking forward to discussing this teaser, as the movie behind it is such an important step. I hope I do it justice in explaining why.

I don't like ending things on a negative note, so after the unfortunate rumors of Black Lightning versus Superman and Lois, I go through the Entertainment Weekly article posted today, coinciding with the Shang-Chi teaser, really just reaffirming my point about what an iconic and paramount moment in film and comics history this movie will be.

As usual, I'll be back Friday, April 23rd, to discuss this week's comic book picks--things I enjoyed or were otherwise noteworthy from this week's comic book releases, as well as any industry or relevant pop culture news. Until then, as always, find something to get sweaty about, and sweat it out unabashedly.

Happy Friday everyone! This week's B episode starts with the regular New Comic Book Day Picks, covering what I loved best from this week's comic book releases. This week's picks include Batman and Oracle stories, Daredevil, Iron Man, Karmen, Home Sick Pilots, Black Cat, and Children of the Atom!

The comics chat is followed by a discussion of Black Lightning Season 4, all the way up to the most recent episode, ep.7, "Painkiller." Then there are announcements about what's coming up in comics later this year, including an unexpected Batman/Catwoman annual and the new World War She-Hulk event for the Avengers series! There's a lot to unpack with the latter announcement, including my own personal connection with the character of Jennifer Walters. Finally, the episode wraps up with some brief DCEU casting news.

I'll be back Monday, April 19th for an all-new podcast episode covering next week comics pull list, Falcon and the Winter Soldier ep. 5, and any news or updates that break between now and then! It's a great time to be a nerd, so be kind and sweat it out!

Hello folks! This Monday episode starts by covering the new comic pull list for this week! With a ton of great material coming out, I focus on characters like Barbara Gordon, Patsy Walker, and Elektra, and talk great indie titles like Karmen, Maniac of New York, Homesick Pilots, and more! As always, make sure to stop by your Local Comic Shop if you are able to see what other new comics they have to suggest!

After the comics, around the 48minute mark I get into Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 4! What a big one it was, too! Super Serum, Battlestar, Karli's complicated fate, the Dora Milajae, and everything in-between is fully discussed! There are just two episodes of the show left, so make sure you're all caught up and explained!

I was planning on spending some time razzing Warner Bro's for having kind of screwed themselves over, but there's enough negativity in the world, so I only do some slight razzing before moving onto much the more interesting topic of Extreme Carnage! Following in the footsteps of Maximum and Absolute, Extreme Carnage is a Marvel event that will follow all the Life Foundation symbiotes and some surprises--discussed on this episode! As a major fan of Scream and of the Life Foundation symbiotes, this event is going to be a blast, and I discuss all the info here. 

I'll be back for another podcast episode this Friday, April 16th, where we'll discuss what was great, terrible, and/or notable in this week's comic releases! And, of course, I'll be going over whatever comic-in-pop-culture news, theories, speculations or updates we get between now and then, too! In the meantime, have a productive week, and stay sweaty!

Significant reads for me think week were America Chavez: Made in the USA #2, the announcement of the new Phoenix in Avengers #44, the continual excellence in Far Sector #11, the wild delight of Sonjaversal #3, my first steps into the universe of Magic: the Gathering with its new #1, a new favorite Wonder Woman story in Sensational Wonder Woman #2, and more!

Then I address some heavy hitting rumors that spread this week, including Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 with Tobey Maguire and the animated 90's Spider-Man appearing in Into the Spider-Verse 2. Neither rumor has sources, but one has a lot more room to stand on, and I discuss what that might mean.

I've been binge-watching Black Lightning on Netflix, and have finally seen all the episodes available there! I go over the post-season 3 status-quo, and where I hope to see things go as I start season 4.

Finally, today had a long-awaited announcement for the upcoming Avengers Campus at Disney's California Adventure! Disney Parks Blog posted a first look at what to expect from the new Land, and being the Disney kid I was raised to be, I talk all about what the article teases, as well as some insights to how Disney usually handles these Lands versus what we'll be seeing, due to the limited opening at the parks starting later this month.

\I'll be back Monday, April 12th to discuss the new comic week pull list, Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep. 4, and more comic book and comic industry news! Have a sweaty weekend!

Whattup, nerds? Today's Monday episode starts by covering this week's comic book Pull List, including spotlights on comics with representation of marginalized peoples. Those include Green Lantern #1, America Chavez: Made in the USA #2, Far Sector #11, and a few others. Comics will be out on the 6th and 7th this week!

Friday's Falcon and the Winter Solider episode 3 had some gems to take in, and I discuss it all here! From Madripoor to Wakanda, from Zemo to Sharon Carter; I'm talking comic inspiration, speculation, and characterization.

The weekend gave us a new look at a fresh Black Widow trailer, and this morning's Loki trailer was a nice surprise to wake up to! I break down both trailers in this episode to see what we're working with for these blockbuster characters. 

Finally, after briefly mentioning it in the last episode, I go fully into Godzilla VS Kong, discussing the pros and cons and best moments of what's really just a fun monster battle movie.

I'll be back Friday, April 9th with a new episode (12B) covering this week's comic book picks and notable events, plus all the news and speculation that comes with a geek-driven era of pop-culture. It's a good time to be a nerd! See you Friday, and stay sweaty!

Happy Friday everyone! This week's episode 11B starts off with my comic book picks of the week! I discuss what was so great about the premier issue of Silk vol.3, Tom King's Batman/Catwoman #4 and Strange Adventures #9, Beta Ray Bill #1 being a pleasant surprise, Johnathon Hickman's X-Men #19 and Decorum #7 (phenomenal interiors by Mike Huddleston!), and Black Cat and her new nemesis! It was such a great comics week, there's certain to be something for everyone. 

I actually do NOT discuss Superman and Lois ep. 6 this week, because it's been pushed back to May 18th, and I discuss why in the podcast! 

In the news and rumors segment, I talk about the greatness that would be Beta Ray Bill in Thor: Love and Thunder, Bart Allen being cast in the Flash TV series, some rumors about characters who might make it into the Eternals movie, and a fun (if somewhat pointless) exploration of who Rihanna would play in the MCU. 

The bad news of the week comes in the form of a DCEU announcement that we knew was coming, but it still hurts to have it confirmed.

Finally, I talk about the new Bad Batch trailer and the Suicide Squad's second trailer, both of which look like they'll be a ton of fun!

The episode wraps up with a note about my website, sensationalshegeek.weebly.com, where I will be uploading my Podcast Notes to later today, in case anyone prefers to read than listen to me, or for anyone hearing impaired.

In any case, I'll be back Monday, April 5th to discuss the new episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the next week's comic book pull list, and more industry news! In the meantime, stay sweaty, and love animals.

Happy Monday, folks! This week's "A" episode starts off with Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 discussion, including Isiah Bradley, the Flag Smashers, John Walker, and Zemo!

As I mentioned in the last episode, I owe it to myself/the universe to watch Black Lightning, especially since I'm watching Superman and Lois. I'm almost done with season 1, so I give some background on the comic versions of the characters and discuss the show as a whole so far. And so far, it's just as good as Superman and Lois, at least!

After reacting to the Suicide Squad trailer from James Gunn last Friday, today I go through each team member for a quick who's-who of cast and characters, then this week's comic book Pull List is joined by Spotlights on Representation of characters of color, LQBTQ+ themes, and women in comics, before heading back into news!

Some MCU concept art leaked last week, so I felt it was worth mentioning, as well as the recent MODOK show casting news and today's Obi-Wan Kenobi cast announcement!

Finally, Comic Con San Diego is making some questionable decisions for fall 2021, but at least the DCEU and MCU lineups for 2022 look unbelievable! No, really. I do expect a few films to get pushed into 2023. Still, it does remain an amazing time to be a nerd.

I'll be back this Friday, April 2nd, to discuss the best and most noteworthy moments of this week's comic books, as well as whatever industry news might break between now and then! In the meantime, be good to your fellow man, and stay sweaty!

Happy Friday! This week' episode start with the usual New Comic Book Day picks, including Batman Black and White #4, Cable #9, Harley Quinn #1, Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn #6, and King in Black: Scream #1! First issues, final issues, and one-shots make up my favorite moments from this week's comics.

Then there's this week's Superman and Lois discussion, covering episode 5 of the CW series--and I'll be starting Black Lightning, soon! Then it's on to movie news, with updates for the cast and crew of Black Adam and Zatanna, then some announcements regarding the releases of some key Marvel and Disney releases. Finally, I spend a few minutes talking about Marvel's new distribution plans with Penguin Random House, and what that might affect.

Bonus segment on the The Suicide Squad trailer, just as it premiers! This is gonna be a blast! See you next on Monday, 3/29, for discussing the 2nd episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and stay sweaty!

This Monday episode starts off with my discussion of Zack Snyder's Justice League! I go though the 12(ish) points of expectation I laid out last Monday (ep. 9A) based on what we had been promised by Snyder himself, as well as some additional general thoughts. Spoilers abound, of course, in what ends up a really fun reviewing of this long, and long-awaited, redo. 

Then I go into the first episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which premiered last Friday! The series is off to a stupendous start, giving much-desired insight into fan-favorite characters who previously didn't have as much development or screen time as their fellow heroes. The episode showed not only a plethora of spinning-off points for plot, but also how Disney Marvel is so ready and able to tap into multiple genres of filmmaking for their wide variety of comic book properties--and it works!

After the live-action discussions, we're left with comic books themselves! Discussing this week's new comic book Pull List, including spotlights on various aspects of comic representation. Finally, I cover the announced and relevant Marvel comics solicitations for June, which brings new series', final issues, and a few noteworthy titles. 

Come back on Friday March 26th for another new episode, discussing what stood out from this week's new comic books, as well as whatever geek-culture news and updates rear up between now and then! Stay Sweaty!

Happy Friday! This week's New Comic Book Day had some excellent stories about some of my favorite comic book women: Jessica Drew, Carol Danvers, and Patsy Walker! While I talk about all of them, Patsy really won the week for me, personally, leaving me actually excited to pick up an issue of Iron Man! 

I haven't watched Falcon and the Winter Soldier ep. 1 yet, or any of the Snyder Justice League, so I'll go over those on the next Monday episode. In the meantime, there's a lot worth discussing from episode 4 of Superman and Lois, and so many theories to be had!

Industry news for this episode includes CW Naomi casting announcements, Netflix Cowboy Bebop updates, Free Comic Book Day 2021 titles, and DC's June comic book solicitations, which offer a wellspring of theorizing what will happen between now and then, and beyond!

I'll be back with another episode this coming Monday, March 22nd, talking in-depth Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Zack Snyder's Justice League, and what's coming out next for the new comics week! Stay Sweaty!

Happy Monday, people! I flipped the agenda this week, starting off instead with this week's comic book Pull List, including spotlights for Women's History Month on the life and times of four favorite female characters appearing in this week's comic titles! They are: Carol Danvers, Patsy Walker, Jessica Drew, and Selina Kyle! Their lives are so much more than what appears on the surface, and here I discuss how the best way to write or appreciate these women is to remember ALL their history as a whole, not just the parts you preferred. 

After that, since WandaVision is over, I talk about its behind-the-scenes episode, titled, Assembled: the Making of WandaVision! There were a few key points worth learning, but it was mostly just a fun look at the process of putting the actors together in this kind of setting. Following that, I also have a discussion of the third episode of Superman and Lois and the CW network, which I continue to greatly enjoy!

Then I have another segment on the upcoming SnyderCut! Zack Snyder's four-hour Justice League premiers in six parts this Thursday, so in this episode I break down the 12 (or so) major expectations I have for the film, based on claims made by Snyder himself. It's been years leading up to this final product, and he's been pumping it up the whole time, so he's made some pretty big shoes for himself to fill, and I'm excited to see how it all works out!

It all wraps up with brief notes of excitement for the premier of Falcon and the Winter Solider this Friday (which I will discuss next Monday!), and some general thoughts on today's Oscar nominee announcements. 

The next podcast episode is coming this Friday, 3/19, where I will be talking comic book picks--things I enjoyed or are noteworthy out of this week's comic book releases. And, of course, I'm sure there will be plenty of comics in pop culture news, and I'll probably have a few words to say about the first episode or two of Snyder's Justice League. 

Stay Sweaty!

This Friday, we're talking our usual New Comic Book Day discussions, which includes a great variety of comics! Maria Llovet's Luna #2, Guillem March's Karmen #1, Harley and Ivy finally being confirmed together in the DCU, the ever-phenomenal Daredevil run, two different versions of Wonder Woman, and more are part of this week's reviews!

On the news side of things, there's an unfortunate continuance of negativity towards and surrounding Disney, their ownership of Star Wars, and the people they keep, or don't keep, around. But, then we have two Marvel comics announcements, including the new Planet Size X-Men one-shot and the upcoming Infinite Destinies event, and theories regarding both. It all wraps up with breaking news from AT&T Investor Day, including news on Batgirl and Zatanna!

I'll be back with a new episode Monday, March 15th, discussing the Making of WandaVision, Superman and Lois ep. 3, and spotlighting representation in the coming week's comics! Stay Sweaty!

Happy International Women's Day!

Here at last! This week, of course, I am covering the stupendous finale of Marvel's WandaVision on Disney+! Between Agatha Harkness, Vision and White Vision, Monica Rambeau and Fietro, witchy magic casting, villainous monologues, emotional turmoil, Wanda's true potential, Skrulls, and a beautiful Incredible Hulk (2008) homage, I talk WandaVision ep. 9 for about an hour! And for good reason, we're initiating a new era of the MCU, here!

After I wrap up WandaVision, I cover this week's new comics that I'm looking forward to. Don't forget to check with your local comic shop about what else is coming out, I only represent a fraction of actual releases! Though this week DOES have a lot of stellar "indie" titles coming out, including LUNA #2 and KARMEN #1. 

This episode wraps up with brief WandaVision Merch announcements and getting pumped up about the next Disney+ Marvel show: Falcon and the Winter Soldier, premiering March 19th! I'll be doing similar breakdowns on my Monday podcasts, as I did with WandaVision. 

I'll be back for a new podcast episode Friday, March 12th, to talk about what I most enjoyed--or was most noteworthy--in this week's comic book releases! And as we get closer to the FATWS and SnyderCut premiers, more comics in media news is bound to roll in! Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this episode, and have a sweaty week!

This week's New Comic Book Day was FULL of amazing, thrilling surprises!

Surprise, an extra episode! I wanted to talk about the premier of the CW's Superman and Lois show from last week before episode two this week, because I was surprised how much I liked it!

Happy Monday! Episode 8 of WandaVision was QUITE the episode, and we're starting to use some heavy-duty comic book terminology (chaos and nexus and probability, oh my!), so after my in-depth discussion of the episode's events, I go into explaining Wanda/Scarlet Witch's comic book origins and powers! Even though we're winding down to the last episode, there's still so much left to theorize about, and I cover it all, and more, here. 

This week's comic book Spotlights on Representation include four much-awaited #1 issues: Demon Days, Wiccan and Hulkling, Sensational Wonder Woman, and the new America Chavez series! Brief overview of other New Comics this week is followed by a string of mixed-media news and rumors, including Aquaman 2, Red Sonja on Netflix, MCU schedules and more!

(about 40 minutes worth!)

Then for this week's New Comic Book Day, I spotlight some of the comics that stand for excellent representation of characters and creators of color, LGBTQ+/Queer topics, and/or women in comics, the generally more marginalized groups of this industry. Plus, I include a brief explanation of the upcoming "Fine Art" Black Black Panther variants, and a general run-down on what else I'm excited for this week in new comics!
