Nice kick off to 2019 dudes!
And just to let you know, I’ve been to a hoedown, and this podcast is nothing like a hoedown….
… it’s more like a “hootenanny”. 😉
Totally agree about Alfred. We know he has fencing training, they could at least let him put up a fight. Drop some fencing knowledge and bolster the character, maybe he parries 4 with his hand as a reaction.
I keep dreaming of an Alfred mini-series but I guess we recently had a back-up story to that effect.
Hey guys been a listener for the last few years but I barely post in comments. So I guess starting with the first new Podcast of the New Year I want to try to start changing that and also post some stuff here that I feel I should’ve posted earlier on.
First off, Ryan Haupt, it’s Thomas. It was nice meeting you at the science presentation at the Carnegie Institute. I was able to see Spider-Verse (in 4DX at Gallery Place no less), it might now be my all time favorite superhero film (Ultimate Spider-Man is my favorite series though so I might be biased, lol).
It was interesting to hear Kieron Gillen talk about being into 40K, I don’t here usually here about that stuff in comic book communities. It was also interesting to hear Joshua Williamson talk about actually liking to write twice monthly comics, considering how I also here how some fans get concerned about some creators spreading themselves too thin.
And guys I gotta say I massively disagree with your comments on things like not wanting to see Daredevil explaining the status quo change up. Admittedly I’m new to being really into comics (only started reading non-Ultimate Marvel stuff around 5 years ago) but a major turn off for me and others is when things change super hard for characters/stories we like without any kind of transition i.e. going from Gerry Duggan’s Doc Green Hulk to Greg Pak’s Totally Awesome (which especially hurt cause I usually like Greg Pak). Don’t know if anyone else had raised that viewpoint around here so I just wanted to express that.
But anyways cheers to you guys and to the almost 20th year of iFanboy
Not sure where I would post the random question, so will throw it out here and see what I get: I finally have some time to delve back into the back issues of some great series and need some help. Guardians I am good, but I also want to dive into Thunderbolts which I have never read but have heard y’all rave about years ago. If one were to jump in at a random point, what run of 12-24 issues would you recommend to get a great sense of how good the series was? Looking for a reco, thanks!
