GeekChew No. 17: Past Aways/The Whispers

,

The power couple discusses the first arc of the Dark Horse Comics series Past Aways, written by Matt Kindt with art by Scott Kolins. Lots of exciting and creative stuff in this new book about time traveling adventurers, and we're really looking forward to the next arc. We also talk about the new ABC series The Whispers, a show that airs Monday nights and is based on the 1951 Ray Bradbury short story Zero Hour.  One episode in and this looks like it's going to be a fun adaptation of a classic.  Notables this week include Disney's new cartoon series Star vs. the Forces of Evil and a couple of documentaries about superhero movies that were almost made but never got off the ground: Superman Lives and Justice League Mortal.

GeekChew No. 14: Avengers: Age of Ultron/The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl

,

The power couple has seen Marvel's new Avengers movie, and it is good.  We discuss the movie here and hit on some of the things we liked, some of the stir the movie created, and what's to come in the Marvel movie universe.  We also discuss Marvel Comics new series The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, written by Ryan North and drawn by Erica Henderson.  We both really enjoy this off-beat and funny superhero, and we talk about some of the benefits to titles like these when creators have the freedom to try something new.  Our Notables this week are a couple of announcements from DC Comics: a new Dark Knight book is on the way from Frank Miller, and they have a new DC Super Hero Girls product line in the works as well.

Willow Wilson and with art by Adrian Alphona.  We close, as always, with our notables: the Eisner’s have been awarded and Marvel seems to be kicking its diversity initiative into high gear with a couple of high profile changes in both the Thor and Captain America series.

GeekChew No. 11: HeroesCon/Sex Criminals/Outcast

Episode 11 is here and full of great stuff.  We took our first-ever trip to HeroesCon in Charlotte, NC.  We talk a lot about our experiences there meeting a lot of awesome creators and going to some really good panels.  We also dive into one of our favorite books out there right now, Sex Criminals, which is published by Image Comics and written by Matt Fraction, with art by Chip Zdarsky.  Also, Robert Kirkman's new Image title Outcast just came out and we talk about the first issue, which is filled with excellent/creepy art from Paul Azaceta.  As always, this episode is also up on iTunes and Stitcher.  Enjoy!

GeekChew No. 10: Rai/Furious
