This show was a real treat. Dave finally got to meet a FELLOW LOIS, Jennifer DeRoss, who has written a wonderful book on comic book legend, GARDNER FOX! Jennifer really was a fantastic sport and she has so many interesting stories and thoughts! ENJOY GANG!
The boys regather for the first show of 2018, to cover Greg Rucka’s Wonder Woman: Eyes of the Gorgon trade! This is a HuGE TRADE for the Signal of Doom and we go right into the heart of it. Meanwhile, the NEWS MARCHES ON, as Jodie Forster weighs in with some BIG COMMENTS on the state of the movie industry, there’s a Justice League extended cut on the way, change at DC Films, Dave gets VERY excited about a Sabrina the Teenage Witch Tv show, we stay on the Hugh Jackman Wolverine Watch, we give Chris Hemsworth a spending limit, Netflix confirms Bright 2, and there’s all this news about Dracula! and please a moment of respect for the wonderful Cinnamon Hadley, the model for the wonderful character of Death, the sister of Dream, in Sandman. Peace out, we love you.
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!
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!
This week Dave and Stew discuss Wonder Woman and we pitch each other very different WW sequels! We also talk Supernova and the prices Thor is charging for a photo, Dave details his Dean Cain obsession, we discuss “Secret Empire” writer Nick Spencer’s hilarious political “career” in Cincy, Dave editorialises on Punisher comics, we fan cast the Black Cat & Silver Sable movie, and we cover the Spider-Girl: Legacy trade from the late 90’s! The boys also cover a selection of weekly comics…and MORE! Tune in, stay up and TURN On! And remember dear listeners, it will all wash away in the end, just like Wise Stew says!
Welcome to EPISODE 13 of Signal of Doom – we cover the Wonder Woman early positive reviews & hype, do some box office predictions, and in Trade of the Week we cover the first volume of Greg Rucka’s excellent early 2000’s run on Wonder Woman. Also Dave and Stew cover topics varying from the loss of Lois Lane’ leg, the barely averted tragedy at Phoenix Comic Con, an in-depth discussion of the Black Cat & Silver Sable movie out of Sony, while Dave defends his right to have sauce with his steak, along with all our weekly comic book reviews! Tune in, have fun, TURN ON! ENJOY WONDER WOMAN! CELEBRATE!
