Special Edition – Luke Cage
October 29, 2016 8:43 pm It felt authentic to me. It didn't feel like a white person's idea of a black hero or black comic book show. It felt like a black creation and because of that I feel like it was bigger than a marvel tv show.

Pick of the Week #544 – Daredevil #9
July 17, 2016 10:51 pm So back to your question about colors and their significance in China, Red, Yellow and green are considered good luck, red being the luckiest, obviously it's also the color of the current "dynasty" then we have Yellow which is the Imperial color, only the Emperor was allowed to wear yellow in the forbidden city. I think we'll find Chinese Wonder Woman is in some way royalty.

Pick of the Week #543 – The Sheriff of Babylon #8
July 11, 2016 7:09 pm Josh is the man it was a great as always though I missed Ron's constant laughter and Conner's dry sense of humor. Tom King is slowly becoming a giant in the industry, and you're right about Mark Millar. I'd rather read a cape story by him than anyone else. Especially Bendis.

Pick of the Week #541 – Aquaman #1
June 27, 2016 6:08 pm When you guys were mentioning Bendis i didn't hear any of you mention Jessica Jones. That's a pretty successful show. I'd still pick Millar, his comics are amazing and Civil war...

Pick of the Week #539 – GrizzlyShark vs. SeaBear #3
June 15, 2016 2:20 pm I don't think that's true at all. Josh just isn't caught up in the nostalgia soup that is rebirth, Green Lantern was good and Flash is really good but everything else rebirth is just a redux of what they were post Flashpoint, it's not great, DC still hasn't fixed their creativity problem on many books. Josh is just the only one willing to say "Hey do something different"

Pick of the Week #538 – Green Arrow: Rebirth #1
June 11, 2016 1:29 am @Urthona, well Aaron is literally writing 5 amazing books a month. You're right that the villain seems eerily similar, but the whole using magic costs a toll thing, using the different magicians, and the way he writes strange as in his personality, is really good. It's the best thing Strange since Vaughn.

Talksplode #67 – Tom King and Mitch Gerads
June 10, 2016 1:09 am Amazing Interview. I learned so much about the industry. I've always wanted to write comics but hearing TOm's story made me think maybe one day it could be a reality. Super inspiring to hear from really one of the top writers in the game today. Thank you so much Josh.
