Given how Tim and Tony delivered an underrated masterpiece with LOCAL MAN, you’d better believe THE PRINCESS MURDERS is on my pull list.

@tonyfleecs.bsky.social and @hackintimseeley.bsky.social are two true craftsmen and listening to them discuss their process and what you can expect from their new book "The Princess Murders" is such a delight. We've had them both on separately, but let’s hear from the team all together! #comicsky

Batman: Bad Seeds is over, and Pamela Isley may never be the same again. Check out my review of Poison Ivy #49 for @aiptcomics.com, out now. #dccomics #NCBD #comicsky

AIPT@aiptcomics.com

"Poison Ivy #49 is one of the single best Poison Ivy comics ever published and is a significant culmination of the fantastic work that G. Willow Wilson has done with the character..." @gwillow.me #comicsky Read @friendofdazzler.bsky.social's review:

Also, X-Fans of it entices you to listen, Tim does talk Fugitive X-Force in the second half.

Catwoman by Torunn Grønbekk is unlike anything else at DC. It's moody and weird and very sexy. For the first 16 months Selina was outside of Gotham and we got to know what makes her tick like never before. #comicsky

If you really loved Avengers Armageddon, I hope you check out The Power Fantasy a book with the same question at its heart “should superheroes/billionaires/the elite exist?” But with the freedom to come to the conclusion: No! Of course not! #comicsky

The Midnight Marvel comics, just like the Absolute DC comics before them, are FAR too interesting for the main conversations about them to be: 1. Is Marvel Back? 2. How much money did they make? #comicsky

Chris Claremont had me reaching for the dictionary three or four times per issue as a kid. Frictionless prose dies on the eye.

Yes, I will die on the hill of "Fuck off & stop internetifying literature". Yes, I will die on the hill of "The intended reader had no problem with reading long paragraphs in an EL Doctorow or Dorothy Lessing novel in 1974 & the intended reader will have no problem reading them in my novels either."

And now for something completely different! We're joined by real life pal Mahou Shoujo M (host of 19 O'Clock News: A Kodocha Podcast) to talk cute boys, our Chinese Zodiac, and a lot more explaining of basic Manga concepts to Matt than you might expect! We read Fruits Basket vol 1.

Krakoa has also plenty of great moments after this, but I think it’s arguable Jamie Braddock giving birth to the S.W.O.R.D. Is the peak of the era.

Pop the champagne and put on an uncomfortable but stunning outfit it’s time for the first ever Hellfire Gala! Cameron Hebron joins us to discuss X-Men 21 (the end of Hickman’s time on the title) and Planet Size X-Men. The Mutants are out, fully in their power and they‘ve colonized Mars!

Hey, I just want to say, I’m really glad we’re all in agreement that The Bones of What you Believe is the greatest album of all time, even if Screen Violence is growing on us. Good talk everyone.

Vampire Bat 🦇 Parent (They/Them) reposted

Damn!! Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it :)

Jed MacKay, Alessandro Cappuccio, Dominico Carbone, Dev Pramanik and Rachelle Rosenberg’s Moon Knight is some of the best stuff we’ve ever read on the show, absolutely one of the best cape comics of the decade. Also Marc Spector Moon Knight (vol 4) is part of our best of the year list. #comicsky

It's our mega-episode of the first three volumes of Moon Knight by @jedmackay.bsky.social ! Join the Midnight Mission as they defend their neighborhood, go to therapy, and pry open their god-dad from Asgardian lockup. One if the best ongoing series of the decade. #comicsky

Not an #xspoiler but I highly recommend you read @jedmackay.bsky.social & @nethodiaz.bsky.social 's X-Men tomorrow.

First: @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social Toxic Avenger vs Noxious Offender a grimy book with a mean spirit and a sad heart about what it might mean to bring a child into our hell world. also features a nega-version of our hero with a backwards baseball hat + goatee. Not for everyone, but certainly for me.

Escape The Mojoverse@mojoversepod.bsky.social

Before you hear how we feel about Marvel Midnight, lets talk some exciting indie number 1s! Toxic Avenger dwells on parenthood, Sabrina the Teenage Witch goes to a party with DRINKING(!) and Dinner Date follows a Vampire trying to navigate a real horror show, dating men in 2026! #comicsky

Second, Sabrina the Teenage Witch is wholesome and adorable. The Kano artwork is charming, our heroine is adorable. An easy recommendation to ANY reader.

Best and last, Dinner Date from @ignitionpress.bsky.social by @joannestarer.bsky.social and @kharyrandolph.bsky.social is sexy, moody and has the most exciting premise (of all six books, not just the three indie titles) told out of time and all about how the apps (from Tinder to Uber) are exhausting

Midnight Spider-Man fixes my biggest issue with the Peter Parker character and book, the objectivist/libertarian heart at its center. “Are you a victim? Or are you the other thing?” God what great artwork and what an exciting update. #comicsky

Later we get into the Midnight Marvel comics properly. Midnight Spider-man takes a job interview, Midnight Fantastic Four sees Reed as a Madman, and the Midnight X-Men are doing the darkest thing of all, getting into Catholicism!

Vampire Bat 🦇 Parent (They/Them) reposted

Midnight Fantastic Four should surprise no one was Allison’s favorite (she’s still ride or die for @benjaminpercy.bsky.social ) but it’s the most propulsive of the three. Longtime fansof the FF might struggle, but lean into the curve of this delightful madman (Reed or Percy? Who knows) #comicsky
