Hey gang! It’s a big holiday themed episode of Signal of Doom, and we cover the fantastic 1970’s trade “Batman: Strange Apparitions”, by Steve Englehart and Marshall Rodgers! This is a good one folks! Gothic, moody and magnificent, with the dark of Gptham LIT UP by the magnificent Silver St Cloud! Maybe we are tipping our hand but the boys enjoyed this one!

Also, Dave has a Great New Big Idea, which involves ranking the top 3 Comic Book runs we have discussed on the show in 2017, and also our top 3 genre movies! Don’t worry we also have a Most Disappointing Category as well!

We cover IN DEPTH the Doct Who Xmas Special, and Dave gives his (sleep-interrupted) review of Bright.

Stew has done some research this week, and it is do with the top acting earners in Hollywood in 2017  – Dave gets outraged by what he feels is a low valuation on Hugh Jackman’s earnings, so get ready for a reminder of his property holdings! Stew MEANWHILE has all the DETAILS on Mark Wahlberg!

Happy New Year, kids. Catch you in 2018!

Santa Dave is in the HOUSE, along with his HEAD ELF Stew! Stew coins a term for the Signal T-shirt, “All Output, No Input”! There’s a sale on at Kings Comics and the boys revel in the Xmas spirit! Dave is confounded by Knights of the Old Republic, Stew is once again proved wrong on his miscalculations of Harley Quinn’s enormous popularity,  and Stew aka Vicki Vale is subbing in to do the news this week!

Dave has finally caught the Ready Player One trailer, and fantasises about this happening in real life. We debate the career of Dave Bautista, Stew goes into the DEEP WEB to discover Gwen Stew audition tapes, earning Dave’s praise for his HUNGER for news.  We talk the Oceans 8 trailer, and speculate of this gambit movie which is grinding towards actually shooting! Noah from the Serious Issues fan page blows us all away with a casual observation about the properties Disney owns! Then we debate the slab of rock that is Knights of the Old Republic.

All this and more! Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays EVERYBODY! We love you and thanks for supporting the Signal of Doom!

Hi gang! Tonight on the second episode of Jimi’s Jargon, Dave and Jimi begin a noble exploration…Geoff Johns Green Lantern run! We begin with Green Lantern: Rebirth, the mini series which starts (and restarts!) it all! Jimi has a deep knowledge of the Geoff Johns Green Lantern run and of course Dave stopped reading at about issue 10 so we are in for a wild ride on the RE-READ!

Dave also retells his origin story at Labyrinth Comics, and the tale of his first store manager, a very chilled guy, who introduced Dave to comics, to Dark Knight Returns, and the Punisher.  We also discuss the DC movie franchise and  Jimi is moved to tears at moment this show.  Dave is stoic, and unmoved, like Frank Castle.

All this and so much more. Get ready for the adventure. Get ready for the Lanterns. Get ready for the REBIRTH of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps!
