New Years Even of 2016, New York City, Times Square… sure it sounds great on paper, but not when a maniac shows up and starts slashing people up! Four years and many murders later, two NYPD officers heading up the Maniac Taskforce are on the case. Faced with budget cuts, the mayor's obsession with his new automated train, and general apathy, they try to prevent further destruction in a world that has mostly moved on.Join hosts Jonah Gregory and Kieran Bennett while they take a deep dive into Maniac of New York volume 1: The Death Train!Follow the show: Twitter, Twitch, InstagramFollow the hosts: Jonah, KieranFollow our Editor: Justin Ecock Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we dip our feet into the wackier side of the Marvel Universe, when it gets beat up by The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!

Thanks to people on our discord randomly posting weird comic panels, we decided to review our first Elseworld's book.

What do you do when your franchise has been around a bit too long? Send them into space, of course! We can only assume that was the premise behind Josie and the Pussycats In Space's original cartoon run. But lucky for us someone decided to dust off this old property, give it a modern feel, and completely mix up the genre on us. Was this weird experiment a success?

This week we break the mold for our GeeklyCon digital live show. Rather than reviewing a comic, we speculate on what other franchises would be like if they were given the Age of Apocalypse treatment.But we couldn't do it alone. Pat Edwards, our friendly neighborhood AoA expert, joins us to speculate on what would happen if a major character dies before their time and how that would drastically change a franchise. Kingdom Hearts, Scooby Doo, Pirates of the Caribbean… nothing is off limits.Follow the show: Twitter, Twitch, InstagramFollow the hosts: Jonah, KieranFollow our guest: Pat Hosted on Acast.

This episode Jonah and Kieran attempt to fill a massive gap in their pop culture knowledge.

What if, in Star Wars, Luke and Vader didn't kill Emperor Palpatine after all. What if he actually has been using techniques that some considered to be unnatural? What if… he was never really dead at all and was actually in a clone body this whole time?No, we aren't talking about The Rise of Skywalker, we are discussing Dark Empire, a comic from 1991 that already covered that ground in a way at least one of us found much more entertaining.Follow the show: Twitter, Twitch, InstagramFollow the hosts: Jonah, Kieran Hosted on Acast.
