Stew was also invited to the Disney shareholders meeting and there’s a slew of news and photos coming out of that in relation to Avengers: Infinity War!

The Tom Cruise Green Lantern rumours provide some lengthy discussion and debate about the state of the DCEU! Stan Lee’s sad condition seems to worsen and there appears to be vultures circling his estate, much to the concern of major comic book identities like Kevin Smith and Neal Adams. We wish Stan all the best, this is terrible.

Kevin Fiege has been talking AVENGERS! Thor has a new hammer! There will be a sequel to Black Panther! Cheetah is CAST for Wonder Woman 2! The boys argue like crazy about a Robin Williams movie.

There’s Rob Liefeld news as he sells his Extreme universe to Netflix and Michael Kelosim has an awesome email about it! Add to all this some great news about the DC Black Label Imprint, Grant Morrison wanted 5 years of Dick Grayson and Damian Batman stories, and Dave has given a couple of day’s extension for the Chuck Dixon questions for the upcoming interview!

It’s a great day for the Signal of Doom as friend of the show, Dane Lamont, from Punisher Bodycount, the internet’s premier Punisher podcast, joins Dave for an in-depth discussion of the 90’s cross over Ghost Rider/Wolverine/Punisher: Heats of Darkness, and it’s accompanying sequel “Dark Design”! We go IN-DEPTH on both of the books, written by Howard Mackie, with art by John Romita Jr in “Hearts of Darkness”, and Ron Garney in “Dark Design”. The art is something ELSE!

Also, Dane and Dave go in DEEP on the Punisher and what he is like both as reflection of society and the evolution of the character from the 80’s and 90’s to NOW. We talk about past runs and where the character could be headed in the future. Dave openly speculates who is the editor on Punisher, forgetting this is in the issue itself! Seriously, there’s a lot to enjoy in this episode for fans of the Punisher, Wolverine AND Ghost Rider.

Also, Dane tells some awesome stories about his time working as an extra on the recent Marvel Netflix shows, and some cool insights into how that works along some stories of the one & only Jon Bernthal on set!

I’d encourage all Signal of Doom listeners who dig the Punisher in any form to check out Dane & Jake’s Punisher Bodycount podcast! I think even Stew might get something out of it! There’s an active and very fun community for Pushier Bodycount on Facebook too!

Thank you for listening to the show, subscribe to us on iTunes, follow Signal of Doom on Facebook, and don’t forget Signal of Doom is now on Youtube! More videos will be coming this week!
