Comic book talk is back! Join Matt Johnson and Graig Knowlton  for a weekly discussion on comic books and the culture around them! Listen in as the duo give their different takes, points of view, and interests in an all new, all original podcast.

Bonus Episode - Repercussions of SONY-Marvel Spider-Man Split

Comic book talk is back! Join Matt Johnson and Graig Knowlton  for a weekly discussion on comic books and the culture around them! Listen in as all three give their different takes, points of view, and interests in an all new, all original podcast.

Just a few days ago, it was announced that SONY and Marvel’s relationship may not continue at a business level, effecting the future of the reinvigorated Spider-Man franchise. Over the last 3 years, Spider-Man has been the focal point of one of the biggest and most emotional story-lines in the MCU, and if a deal isn’t reached, we could see a large void and a seemingly meaningless death of Tony Stark. Matt and Graig discuss the effects that it will have for both sides in this bonus episode.

The idea of putting together a group of typical antagonists, and making them the protagonists of a story was an incredibly unique concept back in 1987. DC did it though, and it worked very well. Organized by Amanda Waller, and their regular Field Leader, Rick Flag Jr, the team has utilized many villains in the DC Universe over the years to do a little bit of good.

In this week’s episode, Matt and Graig read and review some Suicide Squad titles, featuring very different teams, missions and stories.

Comic Books have been a large part of “pop culture” for nearly 60 years. Video Games, Television Shows and Movies have been the most popular way to cross into the mainstream, but it wasn’t always so easy. In the 1990’s, comic book characters like Batman, Spider-Man and the X-Men launched a boom of quality cartoons, defining a generation. In this episode, Matt and Graig are joined by Shawn Fritz of the Power Rangers in Cyberspace Podcast to discuss a few of the comic book story lines that made it to the cartoons, as well as the similarities and differences between the two versions!
