SIGNAL is BACK! Dave & Connor cover Hawks of Outremer, an adaptation of the Robert E Howard Crusades era story! Also, Dave reviews Dracula, Christian Bale may be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Flash movie is moving at a snails pace, there’s a Blue Beetle show in development at HBO Max, Dave tears apart Tom King’s Batman run, there’s discussion over what Gen Z is and why do they love Revenge of the Sith so much, Didio talks about the fiasco that is DC Omnibus Collections currently, and then we LOCK and LOAD om the upcoming 5G initiative from Dc on the horizon, which sounds like it will SUCK! ALL THIS AND MORE!
Hey gang! Stew and Dave are back, on Week 1 of our JUSTICE LEAGUE SPECIAL! This week we discuss Mark Waid and Fabian Nicieza’s “JLA: A Midsummer’s Nightmare”, a great Justice League comic from 1996!
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!
