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!

#35: JLA: A Midsummer’s Nightmare, Bendis to DC, Conan vs Tolkien!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 3:02:36 — 84.4MB) | Embed

Subscribe: TuneIn | RSS | More

Hey gang! Stew and Dave are back, on Week 1 of our JUSTICE LEAGUE SPECIAL! This week we discuss Mark Waid and Fabian Nicieza’s “JLA: A Midsummer’s Nightmare”, a great Justice League comic from 1996!

Also, it’s “imagine if Dave had a soul week”, as he continues his one man war on the Internet, while still battling the remnants of his flu, and the BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK is two-fold! 1) Brian Michael Bendis is leaving Marvel for DC, which leads to Stew and Dave pitching books for him to write at DC, and then in MORE BIG NEWS there’s talk of Disney potentially acquiring the Fox movie library for their upcoming streaming service, along with the IP’s of properties such as X-Men and Fantastic Four!

Elsewhere the boys break into a spirited debate about the merits of Conan, and Dave has to advise Stew on the greatness of Robert E Howard! Then, we discuss the potential news that the Tolkien estate may be looking to close a deal for a Lord of the Rings TV series with Amazon! This leads to some heavily geeky discussion of what this could mean in terms of story potential.

In RED ALERT we have some great Justice League information from our normal Marvel encyclopaedia Drew Geraci, who talks about Justice League of America 200, and also details his experience on JLA and his favourite period!

Sorry but in the last half hour of the show there is some echo affect after something went wrong – it’s definitely listenable but I apologise for the inconvenience!

ALL THIS AND MORE ON SIGNAL OF DOOM!
