Comics Covered

May comics solicitations! The Terrifics! Spider-Ham! With Doug in Ireland this week, we recorded early and saved the most pressing issues for this prescient episode brought to you in stunning "FUTUREVISION"! (A.K.A. we try to predict the week in comics.)

Damnation, Ice Cream Men, & Maggots this week as we talk about our concerns and frustrations with the Marvel's upcoming relaunch as well as other current news & books!

The BLACK PANTHER movie dropped this week & we offer both our rave reviews & our criticism. We also talk DC’s new social media guidelines (& what caused them) & the new issues of Dr. Strange & Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt! Jack works his hardest to confuse and alienate his audience & Doug’s ability to recall names is obliterated. Get ready for a long one, folks.

Deadpool 2 trailer! Swamp Thing Winter Special! Detective Chimp! We *ahem* "discuss" the potential Michael Bay Lobo movie and debate the merits of hurling yourself down a hill on a pair of slippery sticks. Welcome to the Comics Covered Diner, how do you want your eggs?

Ant Man & The Wasp trailer! Milk Wars! Joker is attracted to frying pans! Doug seems to have lost his grip on reality and Jack talks an uncomfortable amount about lube and wombs. Also discussed: Matter Eater Lad.

This week we cover the new issues of Doom Patrol & Marvel Two-in-One along with Brie Larson's strange Captain Marvel costume, the reveal of Cosmic Ghost Rider's identity, & how exactly invisible guns work. Jack is very anxious to know if the music is happening or not & Doug explains the horse-man who secretly loves Supergirl. You know. Comics stuff.

Toxic fanboy culture, Elongated Man, & RED SHORTS on this week’s episode! We discuss the new issues of Justice League & Doctor Strange, Jack presents a revenge quiz, & Doug continues to let his sanity slowly slip away.

No more comics, just football. Although if we DID talk about comics, we’d probably talk about Mister Miracle #6 & Avengers #675, complain about the New Mutants movie delay, & delve into a certain man’s kinship with his trusty bee, Michael! But we don’t do that anymore. Also apparently we encourage hate mail now.

Sensationalism, gossip, and killer bees this week as we talk about the absurd limitations on Marvel's "Create Your Own" program as well as the new issues of Captain America and Justice League. Also Stilt-Man is, like, really tall you guys.

We podcast over the dead corpse that is 2017! We talk about Doomsday Clock, Vice’s “10 Best Comics of 2017,” and discuss our own comic book highlights for this year plus the year to come. Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog!

The one where we lie about it being short! Join us with your cocoa and sit by the fire as we, in our most festive manner, warn about the true dangers of the season, discuss Dark Nights: Metal, and have a chat with the Ghost of Comics Future (by which we mean March comics solicitations). We also do all that in person and manage not to kill each other! Quite a feat!

Dear God, they just won’t stop! We give spoiler-free Star Wars: The Last Jedi reactions before chatting about the now official Disney/Fox purchase, this week’s issue of Mr. Miracle, and Jack’s new SOLO comics venture. Our darling boy is growing up *sniff*. Also we own Comic Con now. That’s just the law. The Stack: Mr. Miracle #5, Ragman #3, She-Hulk #160

The revenge! Doug reasserts control of the show (and is quickly derailed by Flat Earth talk). We talk Priest's new Justice League, give a eulogy for Doctor Strange's basset hound, Bats, and give our feelings/concerns about the first episode of Syfy's "Happy!". In addition: How cats choose their space names.   The Stack: Doctor Strange #382, Captain America #696, Justice League #34, Paradiso #1, Superman #36

The twist! Jack has assumed control of the show! God help us all. We chat about the new Moon Knight and Batman Annual issues as well as the C.B. Cebulski ordeal, Netflix's "Punisher" and the source material for Syfy's "Happy!". Also discussed: Iron Man's promising DJ career.

The return! We talk Doomsday Clock, Doom Patrol, & Thanos as well as February comics solicitations and what makes good comics art. Also discussed: Fin Fang Foom's nether regions.   The Stack: Doug: Doomsday Clock #1, Doom Patrol #9, Thanos #13, Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil #2, Detective Comics #969, The Flash #35 Jack: Doom Patrol #9, Doomsday Clock #1, Thanos #13, Wonder Woman #35

Our first episode! We discuss important topics, such as our books for the week, news, Scott Snyder's Dark Multiverse twin, and pressing current issues like exactly who B'Wana Beast is!
