Hey gang, get ready for a journey into THE DARKNESS OF MEN’S SOULS, as the boys read Scalped, the Vertigo cult crime-drama classic by Jason Aaron & R.M. Guera, and Dave and the Main Man go deep on the RESERVATION! It’s a long, bitter powerful cup of black coffee this time! Hold the SUGAR!

Also, Stew and Dave go deep in the Star Wars teaser, Justice League rumours, the solo-centric spotlights on Batman, Wonder Woman Thor Ragnarok box office numbers, while the Signal’s own Marvel Encyclopaedia, Drew Geraci, writes in to detail what signifies the Silver Age, the Bronze Age and the Modern Age!

Dave is also obsessed by the mysterious VOID that has been located in the Giza Pyramid, and Stew refuses to accept this is probably filled with alien husks!

We talk more SHAZAM, and then speculate wildly on Flashpoint. There’s a Deathstroke movie to discuss, and both Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot (aka Wonder Woman herself!) have been very open and honest about the status and recent past of the Warner’s DC movies.

Meanwhile, Tessa Thompson and the editing of the LGBT scene in Thor is discussed, and Dave gets overly excited and starts comparing Tessa to RDJ himself in terms of her awesomeness and importance to Marvel going forward. As Dave begins to cast her in multiple movies, Stew attempts to calm hm down.

RED ALERT and Punisher Playbook both feature in a SYNCHRONISED SECTION and shoutout to Michael Keloisim for another awesome email! Plus WEEKLY comics! All this and MORE on this weeks episode of Signal of DOOM!

Hey gang! The Signal of Doom is back, BLAZING RED into the sky! The boys cover Kill or be Killed, the awesome story of a troubled young man turned vigilante, courtesy of a deal with a demon, by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, and Dave declares it “maybe the great f*cking book he’s read”!  Also Dave tells us his story of his encounter with a salesgirl dressed like a stripper, we speculate on Darth Vader’s possible inclusion in the young Han Solo film, and Dave debuts *The Punisher Playbook!* This is our weekly news section for covering Punisher news and right now the focus is on the Punisher Netflix show which just dropped a full trailer and a teaser! Acclaimed Punisher scribe and good friend of the show, Chuck Dixon, gave an interview to Task and Purpose, where he details his own take on the Punisher series and what Chuck thinks of the scenes in the teaser which shows Frank seemingly up against military forces! The boys discuss Chuck’s comments in some DETAIL and meanwhile, Dave wonders and speculates about the chances of Karen Page and Frank Castle hooking up, or will this just be raw, personal friendship between two isolated people. Who knows! All this and more dear listeners in the first edition of the Punisher Playbook!

Also Michael, Ralph and Jordan all write in and we read put their emails and discuss them in Red Alert! Sit back, grab a coffee or a beer, maybe even an iced tea, and enjoy the Signal of Doom, Episode 28!
