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.

Signal of Doom now has a Youtube channel! Subscribe for extra bonus video content and Dave’s extra special rants! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqR6umE4tOpSU9UpqvfTnCA?view_as=subscriber

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.

Dave spends what feels like an hour defending the Harley Quinn franchise from a flustered Stew as we review the recent slate of Dc film announcements at Brazil Comic Con!

Also covered is multitude of pop culture events such as wild speculation on what the Lord of the Rings Tv show at Amazon would be, and we go through some “fantastic” weekly comics! Sarcasm intended!

Finally we cover Superior Spider-Man: Vol 1, the tale of how Dr Octopus’s mind takes control of Peter Parker’s body! It’s a fantastic read and we enjoyed it!

Hi gang! Tonight on the second episode of Jimi’s Jargon, Dave and Jimi begin a noble exploration…Geoff Johns Green Lantern run!

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!
