Something remarkable is happening the world of mainstream superhero comics this week. And one of the best and most remarkable things about it is that no one seems to think it’s remarkable. I’m talking about All-New Ultimates, Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe team book written by Michel Fiffe, with art by Brazilian newcomer Amilcar Pinna. A spinoff of both […]

This installment of the Podwits’ Side Cast find Dion and J. Blake on location at New York City’s famous Manganaro’s Hero Boy on the Westside for a lunch break while they attend this year’s 4th Annual Comic Book Marketplace Convention. The boys discuss collecting original comic book and cartoon art, the allure of small conventions as opposed to the clusterfunk known […]

The boys are at it again! Dion’s on about Clint Eastwood being a real life hero and scorned Valentine’s Day lovers from China, J’s back from space and talking shop about Superman, and Brian is loving Marvel’s new Guardians of the Galaxy and voicing his contempt for the ineptitude of DC Comics. Plus an update on the 22nd Annual Borgnine Night at […]

This week’s podcast features a Podwits first as J. Marcus becomes the first Podwit to dial in from orbit!  Exactly what he’s orbiting is unclear, though he seems to have broken the space-time continuum, causing him to speak somewhat out of sync with reality!  Can Dion and Brian save him, or will he be lost […]

This week Dion and J. jump right into it! The boys discuss Quentin Tarantino’s dismay over the leaking of his new script, The Hateful Eight; the James Bond 50th anniversary Box Set and it’s extras; the exciting news that the 1966 Batman TV series will FINALLY get a proper DVD release; and a dissection of J’s Side Cast with […]

*SPOILER ALERT*.  At long last, J. has seen Man Of Steel.  After years of waiting and speculation, he’s laid eyes on the film not once, not twice, but three times.  Now the story must be told!  Did he like it?  Did he hate it?  What was it like? And to share this experience, J. is […]

Dion is out this week, which means that J steers the TARDIS back to “Doctor Who” again for the appendix to our Year In Rev-Who… But fear not… as the title says, “it’s not what you think!”  After just a few moments, the crisis is averted and other topics abound!  Why is J. hating on […]

The Podwits are back for another exciting podcast.  It’s everything you’ve come to expect from those men of merriment and so much else!  Can your heart withstand the shocking terrors that await you?  Remember that you must be this high (how high is that?  NO ONE KNOWS, so never mind!) to listen to this podcast. […]

J. Marcus is back, he’s on steroids (due to injury), and Brian has to deal with his nerdy ‘Roid Rage!  What is Marvel doing to the Ultimate Universe?  Has Joss Whedon finally said something too terrible to contemplate?  Can a musical genius be resurrected from the rotted tooth he left behind?  And have you ever […]

This week the Podwits return to subjects very near and dear to their hearts — cartoons and comic books — as J. and Brian ponder whether this is, in fact, the end of an era for high-quality animated adaptations of great comic book stories.  Which stories would YOU like to see in animated form?  And […]
