This week we talk about the cancellation of a handful of DC comics and it looks like there is an update on the Shuster Heirs and their Superman lawsuit. Some comic fans whine about IDW’s PowerPuff Girls cover and then it’s off to chat about some Panel Syndicate and Fight Club news. Books that we cover this week are:
Kevin and I recorded these a while ago and never posted them; not because they're terrible, but because we're forgetful! You'll need to turn on the Netflix for these Banters which is just our term for riffing. That's right we're about to go all MST3000 on your asses! Here's the episodes you'll need to queue up below.
This week we bring you a very special episode of the CBMFP. Not only do we add our very own bastard Steve Paugh to the podcast, but we interview Joe Mulvey... fishing enthusiast. Not really we talk to Joe Mulvey creator, writer and artist of SCAM from ComixTribe. Aside from talking about Scam and Joe's influences we talk about the upcoming Scam Ultimate Collection which launches on Kickstarter on the 20th (We'll have a link up tomorrow). In the meantime be sure to check out Joe on the follow sites: ComixTribe JoeMulveyArt.com On Twitter @JoeMulv
Don't forget to check out the previous episodes of the CBMFP
New Year, new CBMFP! We do our best to shake off the ring rust brought on by the holidays (I fail miserably). On the news front this week we talk about Dark Horse losing the Star Wars franchise as control returns to Marvel. Then we chat about Deadpool and his upcoming marriage. FUN! On the movie side of things, Fox mentions a possible combination of X-Men and Fantastic Four and as always there are rants and sidebars! The books that we cover are:
Check out the previous two episodes as well!
Here's the second part of year-end round-up that focuses on the bad or the worst of the year. I won't lie; this is one of our favorite episodes to record, so hopefully you enjoy Kevin and I telling you our worst of the year in comics and of course recapping several of our contributors moments as well. Just like with the "Best of/Good" list we'll have a written companion piece for this podcast that will be available in three parts tomorrow. Also if you missed the "Good of 2013" I've included it below as well and you can check out the companion pieces to that here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4. Have a safe and happy New Year from all of us at Comic Bastards and thank you for listening, we'll be back next week with a new episode.
Episode 112: 2013 Comic Book Round-Up: Part 1 - The Good
Episode 111: A Conversation With Tonatzin Mondragon
Well here it is our big end of the year round-up. This is where Kevin and I sit down and go through our categories and tell you what we and the rest of the Comic Bastards contributors picked for their "Best" of 2013. If you're unfamiliar with our format we tend to do this a bit differently from most sites so don't look for us to hand out "Best Writer" or "Artist." Nope we do it the Comic Bastards way. Look for the update later this week for the written companion piece to go along with this. iTunes decided to take the holiday off which jacked up the schedule. At any rate, here's 2013 according to Comic Bastards. Believe in the CBMFP!
We're very happy to present a special interview episode of the CBMFP this week. Kevin and I sat down and talked to Tonatzin Mondragon about her new kickstarter project Lumin: The Golden Warrior is Born. If Tonatzin looks familiar that's because she was one of the contestants on Stan Lee's Who Wants to be a Superhero. We talk a bit about that, but mostly about her goals with the project and of course our usual shenanigans.
Well it's a news heavy episode today, but there was actual news to discuss. Well a lot of entertainment news at any rate. The WB is moving and shaking this week with low-budget comic book movies, BUT WAIT! They cast Wonder Woman for Batman vs. Superman and we discus Justin Wood's article "Why We're Not Ready For Wonder Woman." We discuss the X-Men movies and the teased sequel to X-Men 3-1/2 and its crediting ending introducing Apocalypse. Stan Lee Media is back with another lawsuit... yup those fuckers just won't fuck off. The big comic book story this week is that DC told subscribers of Detective Comics that they're not getting issue #27 because it costs too much! We only had time to talk about two books this week so here they are:
Hey there Bastards it's CBMFP time! Well Thanksgiving has come and gone leaving us thankful for another week of CBMFP and not a lot of fucking news to go with it. BUT we managed to find plenty to talk about with DC's Forever Evil #4 and Forever Evil: Arkham War. We also share some more thoughts on Marvel's upcoming Ghost Rider series and we talk a little about Marvel's arena show. That's not all the news so stay tuned! We talk about a few books this week so check it out:

Hey kids, we're back this week even if it is a little late. We kick off talking about the animated version of Stan Lee's Mighty 7, which is a touchy subject on the podcast. After spending way too long on that we move over to a possible lawsuit brewing between Valiant and Skybound over the name "Outcast" and then the big news of the week... DC's move from New York to Burbank! Books we read this week:
Well I'm going to start off by telling you that we earn our "explicit" rating this episode so if you crank it real loud while at work, don't be surprised if you're putting your stuff in a box at the end of the day. We start off with our very own Adam Kelly stopping by. We could fit everyone on our 100th episode so we figured we'd run through some of the same antics with him to kick off the episode. After that we cover that Captain America: The Winter Soldier trailer that came out this week, the Ant-Man casting rumors. This is a Marvel heavy episode as we also cover Iron Man's new origin and Loki's new, but not new sexuality. Books that we're read:
