Pride of Baghdad

Things become a bit serious this week when Dad and I read Vertigo's Pride of Baghdad.

 This is not the Lion King and we end up discussing man's inhumanity of man, the nature of war, and American misadventures in the Middle East more than the artwork this week. 

We discuss a little bit of character point of few and give much love to BVK and Niko Henrichon'd breathtaking artwork.

Dad eats a treat in front of me and we wrap things up in a very typical manner


Next Week: Weird Detective.

Old Man Logan

Patrick and Dad are back on the beat with a run of comics that Patrick has wanted Dad to read for around three years the 2008 run of Old Man Logan.  Originally published as an eight-issue storyline in the Wolverine ongoing series by writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven.  The book is a tour de force of Marvel multiverse madness with tons of gore and claw popping action.  Folks, Dad gets this one, he rolls with it, close the shop and end the show.  The treat was Easter based apple pie coated in walnuts and raisins.Next Week:  Pride of Baghdad

Outcast Book 1

Patrick loses about 40 minutes with of podcast, in which you could have heard some real gold about Dad talking about exercises, demons, the afterlife and the current state of mental health in America.  Instead, we hustle to record a brief recap of a truly amazing book.  Sorry, Andy.  The treat was some lame donuts that neither of us enjoyed.  Not a banner episode.

The Flash: The Human Race

We return after a long battle with technical issues.  Dad has some thoughts on hand waving comics book science while we dig into Grant Morrison and Mark Millar's last arc on Wally West Era Flash. 

Dad gets a crash course in Wally West, Barry Allen, and Jay Garrick from Patrick as the discuss if these issues are a true homage to Silver Age comics or Bronze Age comics. 

Emails of different sorts are read and movie theatre rules and regulations are debated to wrap the episode up.

Black Panther A Nation Under Our Feet

This week is a struggle session in which we have a massive battle to dissect and interpret Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze Black Panther relaunch. Patrick loves the ideas in the book but cannot string together any of the factions.  Dad has issues with the muddy line work and coloring as well as too much mysticism mixed with technology? Patrick tells a Pulitzer winner how to write and Dad tells an artist how to draw, plus we eat bad apple pie.  Next Week:  One Punch Man

One Punch Man

This week we return to manga with One Punch Man.  Dad does not understand Dragon Ball Z, youth culture in general.  Patrick also reveals that he may not understand Dragon Ball Z nor youth culture much.  Dad yearns for backgrounds on any and all monsters.  The boys wrap things up with what makes a day old donut great and birthday cakes.  Patrick cannot find the comic for next week and complains about the Michigan library sharing system.   Next Week: The Flash the Human Race

DC: The New Frontier Vol 2

Less heavy lifting from Patrick as Dad understands more of  Darwyn Cooke’s 2004 mini-series retelling the Silver Age origins of DC  comic book heroes.  We both love the Flash in this comic though.  We eat too many fritters and discuss proper Paczki with prunes and or cream filling. If you are ever in the Detroit area find us and we will lead you to best worst food for your health.
