It’s a different kind of show this week! With Dave in bad shape due to a bad bout of bronchitis, Stew has stepped up to the plate with an awesome SOLO show with some occasional Dave cameos! We cover Chuck Dixon’s and Steve Lieber’s “Conan the Usurper”, and have two very different takes, while there’s a ton of news to report – including the new Infinity War Trailer! Also, Stew breaks down Jessica Jones at length, there’s consternation as reports come in on mixed reactions to the Deadpool 2 test screenings, The Russo Brothers tease at Hawkeye’s role in Infinity War, Lynda Carter is FINALLY getting a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,  Danny Boyle is locked to direct the next Bond, Nic Cage WILL voice Superman, Gail Simon is on Plastic Man, and there’s a ton of Spider-Man casting news! Enjoy the dulcet tones of Stew kids. He’s easy on the eyes and heavy on the RESEARCH!

Hey gang! Dave & Stew are back with a blast of “52” action! Greg Rucka, Grant Morrison, Mark Waid and Geoff Johns combine for the classic DC year long weekly series which we are covering the first 13 issues of!

Stew is a pro and he has watched all 13 episodes of Jessica Jones! We do a light non spoiler review of the series along with the Luke Cage teaser trailer! 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!

Dane from Punisher Bodycount Visits! Ghost Rider/Wolverine/Punisher!

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!

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.
