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!

We go IN DEPTH on Shazam and the casting announcements, and Dave pitches what would happen if he was running Warners – it would be hard to tell what was a solo movie and what was a Justice League film! Stew of course, hates it, as he hates FUN!
Speaking of no fun, Dave and Stew both turn into two very old grumpy men as we scorn this week’s reboots & reheats which includes Lethal Weapon 5, Magnum Pi AND Ace Ventura!
Plus, we have Punisher Playbook – strap in kids! Its FULL THROTTLE as we RISE from the Swamp!

We have a special guest tonight, one of my favourite writers working today, Eisner Award Winner, Mike Baron, who is launching an exciting new creator-owned comic called Q-Ball, through Kickstarter with artist Barry McClain! Check out the Facebook page for Q-Ball for updates and links when the Kickstarter goes love next month! https://www.facebook.com/Q-Ball-517900905221331/
“Detroit homeboy Curtis Ball joined the Merchant Marine and ended up managing a warehouse in Manila. Curtis wanted only two things out of life: to see the world and study Kali/Escrima. But when a pack of tuxedoed sharks muscle their way into his warehouse, Curtis learns the hard way that it’s not always smart to mind your own business.
The spooks are looking for Donna Wing, a beautiful Chinese blogger, forced to flee due to her exposes of human rights abuse. Now Curtis and Donna are on the run—from the Chinese government, the tongs, and a group of international cutthroats who will stop at nothing to stop them from reaching the United States and spilling their guts.
Sometimes you have to spill some guts to spill your guts.”
Mike has a long history in both comics and novels, and has created long standing characters such as Badger and Nexus, as well as acclaimed run on Punisher though the 1980’s and 1990’s. His novels include Biker, the first in the Josh Pratt series of novels, Domain, and Banshees. We discuss these and the impending release of the Josh Pratt series into books stores in 2018.
Mike is great fun as we wind through many topics and I pepper him with some Punisher and Badger questions in what was a great conversation. It’s always a pleasure to have Mike on Signal of Doom – go buy his books kids and support the Q-Ball Kickstarter!
Welcome BACK to the Signal of Doom, as the boys cover World War Hulk! It’s the GREEN GOLIATH vs the rest of the Marvel U as the Hulk is back from Sakaar and ready to take names!
It’s SIGNAL TRAILER DISCUSSION TIME as Stew and Dave discuss the Justice League trailer, the Last Jedi trailer, the Pacific Rim Uprising trailer, a New Mutants trailer and an X-Files trailer just for good measure!
Dave then goes into his controversy of the week from Marvel, featuring ICERS! This is the last hijinks from Marvel, where the general population does not BELIEVE Captain America was frozen in WW2. If you DO believe, you are called an ICER. Wow.
We go in depth on the Fast & the Furious franchise, we pit them against the Expendables cast, we talk about cage matches between the two casts and Dave puts all his money on Jet Li.
The boys talk in depth about Doctor Who, the missing Shada story from the 1970’s, Dave goes into full geek mode as he discusses The Who Files, Doctor Who novels, and he starts hyperventilating as he starts talking Tom Baker as the Doctor and questions what is Stew’s favourite TARDIS control room.
