If you’ve listened to the show before, you probably know that Kieran is a huge Green Lantern fan. Despite this, it somehow took us 65 episodes to finally review one of his books. Like most mainstream comics, the character has been rebooted to hell and back, so we decided to pick one of the reboots …

You thought one ghost was spooky? You haven’t seen anything yet! This week Kieran and Jonah dive into the pulp-styled world of Fabian Gray.

This week we dive into the graphic novel adaptation of the real play Dungeons & Dragons podcast that is The Adventure Zone.

This week we are joined by storyteller and podcaster Veronica (Cthulhu & Friends) to discuss American Vampire. When old school vampires come to America’s wild west and accidentally create a new breed, things get crazier. You could even say they get even wilder. Like some sort of wild, wild west. Follow the show: Twitter, Twitch, …

For the first time ever, we are diving into the True Crime podcast genre. But since we are a bunch of comic book nerds we are doing it in comic form as we discuss Green River Killer, the tale of the real-life detective that spent a huge part of his career trying to track down …

As you know, we here at Inks & Issues love a good crossover. When we heard Planet of the Apes was crossing over with King Kong, It was as if the fates had aligned and all the things that Jonah loves that he has thrust upon his friend and co-host Kieran came together to form a …

Tom Taylor is just your average Joe who’s dad wrote a bestselling series of books using his son’s name as his protagonist, which has subsequently ruined his life. Now Tom is all grown up, his dad has mysteriously vanished, and his world is turning upside down thanks to his crazy fans, generation spanning conspiracies, and …

It’s the 11th hour and our heros have to band together to stop full-on nuclear annihilation. Can Night Owl get that lovable scamp Rorschach out of prison? Can The Silk Spector convince Dr. Manhatton that humanity is worth saving? Who is the mask killer and what’s up with Ozymandias’s cat and can we pet it? …

It’s a new year and it’s time to get super serious. No more of these “funny books”. It’s all grimdark adult “Graphic Novels” from here on out. We ONLY talk about serious things, and make zero goofs by popular request of our listeners. Because this week we take on one of Time Magazine’s 100 best …

How do you followup your first success when your life has stalled out and you have major impostor syndrome?

We are joined this week by GeeklyInc’s own Jennifer Cheek of Drunks & Dragons to discuss a topic that is very near and dear to all of our hearts, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Since we all knew going in that we love this comic (and the anime) we picked a specific section to cover that we …

There are times in a young persons life that will define them. Often they happen when we are too young to really understand their significance. This week Kieran and Jonah discuss This One Summer, which exists in one of these moments. This book was voted on by you, our lovely Patrons. And speaking of our …

Way back in the halcyon days of our first episode, we reviewed Batman: Year One. And in that very first episode nearly two years ago, we made a goof that our 52nd episode would revisit the caped crusader for Batman: Zero Year. We are nothing if not commited to a goof, but little did we …

Batman returns in the second half of our review of The Long Halloween. We are joined once again by Brittany Gregory, batfan extraordinaire.
