Jimi is BACK on Signal of Doom withs a fresh Jimi’s Jargon! Dave’s money cleared and our heavy States-side hitter is BACK IN TOWN!

Jimi & Dave  break down the first volume of Geoff John’s Green Lantern ongoing, covering issues 1 to 14 of his landmark run, fresh off the heels of Green Lantern: Rebirth!

There’s a lot of TWIST to this tale! A lot of scatter-gun questions! a LOT of history! A lot of Dave whining! A lot of Ferris Aircraft! A lot of HAL at FULL THROTTLE!

Hal Jordan faces new threats from his old foes. The deadly Manhunter androids and the mutated Shark return with shocking violence … yet they are just the precursors to even greater dangers.

A Maddened Black Hand embarks on a murderous rampage just as Hal finds himself the object of an alien race’s insidious plan to harvest humans as living weapons of war. Hal Jordan is back—but being tested in ways he never could have imagined.

That’s from the Amazon summary and you KNOW they KNOW what’s going on! Enjoy Jimi’s Jargon. The hits keep coming and they don’t stop. It’s like THE BEATLES.

It’s another HUGE week on the Signal as Dave & Stew cover “Marvel: Secret Wars” from the mid 80s! This is a big one and the boys give it 110%! Elon Musk and his $500 flame-throwers get a mention, Dave forecasts dystopian futures, and we cover Cory’s fan casting on Gary Oldman at Marvel!

Valiant has been bought out by DMG,  there’s Captain Marvel set photos, Dave delights in the correct pronunciation, the Ant Man and the Wasp trailer HITS and hits hard, and Stew is our man on the ground in Wakanda! There’s sure a lot of buzz on Black Panther! We can’t wait.

Finally, let me wish Judy, my Fan Club President, RIP from the bottom of my heart. You were an inspiration and the Asanti Series owe you.

It’s a BIG show this week as the boys Ghost Rider: Spirits of Vengeance! It’s a mighty big tome and it’s about as mid 90’s as could be! Davey has been busy listening to podcasts and gushes about an interview he heard with Denny O’Neil, and the story behind the Batman character Leslie Thompkins, who was based on a real civil rights activist.

Gary Oldman has thrown his hat into the ring and he’s chasing a Marvel movie. Dave comes up with some of his worst ever fancast calls, while Stew hits it out of the park with his suggestions which include Galactus himself!

There’s a whole discussion about Netflix and “Bright”, and it’s 10 years since the tragic death of Heath Ledger, a renowned and very talented actor who so perfect in “The Dark Knight” playing the Joker.  There’s a new Robocop movie rolling down the line, and Superman’s red trunks are back on the outside!

Meanwhile there’s a new petition to apparently make the Joker gay “again”, Dan Slott is off Spider-Man and onto Iron Man, and the boys revisit one of their favourite arguments – will Robin Williams  get a cameo as the Genie in Aladdin!

Welcome to Episode 44- the boys are discussing “Nova: Origin” by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness! This is Stew’s pick and it’s a GRAND SLAM!

Stew does a complete chart of his “murder board” inside his private study, and shoes it with listeners – this outlines all the film dates for superhero movies from until 2020! That’s a lot of research for the Main Man! The Fox X-men movies have a lot of reshuffles, as meanwhile there are reports of a Kitty Pryde solo movie on the horizon at Fox,

There’s sexual harassment allegations against Stan Lee, a Black Widow movies is reportedly under development, Mark Wahlberg is buy driving a hard bargain, Bendis done for a backup story on Action Comics 1000, filming has wrapped on Avengers 4, and Dave has more to say about the upcoming Sabrina Netflix show!

Also, look for a neat comic by the one and only Gary Kwapisz, a Civil War zombie story, Stonewall’s Arm!

And of course as Adam Crouch has commented – Stew, the Mammoth was DEAD!

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!
