Welcome to another episode of Signal of Doom. My brave co-host Stew is suffering from flu but he still punches the clock and gives the Signal his all! He even agrees with Dave 100% about something! This is UNHEARD OF!

The boys talk the Thor: Ragnarok movie in detail, with both spoiler and non spoiler reviews, while also going back in time to Stan & Jack’s original Thor Ragnarok story!

The boys talk Chuck Dixon’s new comic project Avalon, part of the AltHero universe, which is open for crowdfunding at: https://freestartr.com/project/althero/

Chuck is doing a comic book for this new universe and also a novel, Vendetta! Chuck had me at the title!

Also, Dave is hosting an Ebay auction for some action figures and statues – his eBay auction handle is redlantern2051 – check it out for some figures and some upcoming trades at good prices!

Justice League tracking numbers and suspected Chinese leaks about a Green lantern are discussed, along with our concerns over the run time. Dave has more thoughts on a Catwoman and Batman wedding, while Stew grits his teeth and tries not to die of the illness sapping his strength and moral fibre!

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!

Welcome FRIENDS to another episode of Signal of Doom as Dave and Stew cover Batman vs Predator, Vol 1!  It’s an EPIC episode as the Predator stalks his PREY in Gotham City! Also, Dave makes a bold statement about the current Batman era, high on the strength of the Metal spinoff books, and DEEP in love with Catwoman! We go IN DEPTH on the Black Panther trailer, the awesome possibility of an all female marvel movie,  the Punisher Netflix Show has a RELEASE DATE and a NEW trailer, and Stew is SO EXCITED by the Hasbro shared universe sans Transformers and GI Joe! Get ready for Mr Potato Head, kids! Dave then shares some DELAYED news about Cable and the Brolin deal, we debate the merits of the Han Solo spinoff movie being titled SOLO, and speculate wildly about the true life and story of Professor Marston and his relationships with his wife and mistress.

Kevin Smith is discussed in detail, Dave gets DEEP, and talks about possibly giving to charity ONE DAY, if a lot of financial conditions and goals have met. We then talk at length about some new revelations about Heath Ledger on the Dark Knight, we talk about his death and his impact, overall, while Stew takes us back to the celebrity gossip mill of the mid 2000s.  This episode Dave goes in depth about his love for Catwoman, and also his research into Eliza Gonzalez and her display of possibly the Catwoman suit! A SIGNAL BET is made as the boys speculate on the wedding plans of Batman and Catwoman, and Dave takes it upon himself to become  a WEDDING PLANNER! All this and much more on the Signal. Also….NANCY DREW MEETS THE WIRE!

Comic book great and author Chuck Dixon joins Dave on the show this week and we have a great jam-packed talk about many topics including – Batgirl: Year One, which Chuck co-wrote with Scott Beatty with fantastic art by Marcos Martin, plenty of PUNISHER chat, (of course) Chuck talks Bane Conquest, Batman, Lawdog stories, and there’s also a healthy portion devoted to his 80’s Moon Knight run! Plenty of cool questions from listeners make this one a good one and Chuck clues us all in on his upcoming “Levon’s War” novel release along with other upcoming creator owned work!

Also, sadly this week Stew has CALLED IN SICK and so Dave puts on his Lois Lane reporter hat and gets thru the news in a record breaking 21 minutes! Complete with sighs of disgust/apathy at certain news items! Isn’t this the way you always wanted the news covered! We also get a classic email from Michael Keloisim!

Sit back, enjoy the interview with Chuck – Stew and I will be back on Friday night to talk BATGIRL: YEAR ONE and catch up on all the news that Lois didn’t catch in 21 minutes!
