S3 Ep18: Venom For Beginners - 4-Panel Vol. 3, Issue 18
When it comes to comic-book characters there are few that are as weird as Marvel's chompy tentacle monster known as Venom. But where does the symbiotic goop that makes up Venom come from? Why is it obsessed with Spider-Man? Why is there a bizarre ménage-a-trois between Flash Thomson, Eddie Brock and a mysterious other being? Find out the answers to these and other questions you never asked in our beginner's guide to Venom!

S3 Ep17: Captain America's Weird Villains - 4-Panel Vol. 3, Issue 17
There's an old adage that states that you can judge a person based on the quality of their enemies, so when the person in question has a clear ethical and moral code, conducts himself honourably in almost everything, can be little old fashioned thanks to a brief sojourn as a Capsicle, and is one of Marvel's most beloved characters (thanks to the MCU), you'd expect the villain roster to be full of seriously bad people. Which it is ... up to a point. Unfortunately Captain America, like so many other comic-book superheroes who've been around for a while, has a few embarrassing skeletons in his closet, and some even stranger enemies ...

S3 Ep16: Judge Dredd For Beginners - 4-Panel Vol. 3, Issue 16
Sometimes you don't have to be a vigilante to stop criminals. Sometimes you don't need superpowers to keep the peace. Sometimes all you need is a shiny helmet, big heavy boots to stomp things, a big gun, a cool motorbike, and the knowledge that you are the drokking law. Judge Dredd is the most popular and successful character to emerge from the pages of British sci-fi comics anthology 2000 A.D., but with so many comics, stories, plot threads, spin-offs, crossovers, political opinions and more, finding a place to start getting acquainted with the paragon of law enforcement can be difficult. Thankfully the 4-Panel gang (and resident Drexpert Mick), are ready to take you on a guided tour through the streets and blocks of Mega City One where you can mingle with all sorts of people including norms, flabbies and maybe the odd mutie, play a spot of Aeroball, visit the odd skankerie, learn about the city's history and culture and more.

There's gold in those piles of comics of manga, and the grizzled veterans of 4-Panel are determined to find it no matter how many Clint Eastwood musicals they have to sit through! This episode we're kicking things off with the confusingly titled Thanos: The Infinity Ending before we joining our friendly neighbourhood arthropod for Spidey: School's Out. After that we head over to DC for a stunning reimagining of an iconic character in Harleen, then it's over to Humanoids the dark and bloody Mask Of Fudo before we finish things off with Snow Day.

4-Panel returns from another stint panning for comics and manga gold in the riverbed of graphic literature. Tortured analogies aside, this week is our usual mixed bag of the good, the meh, and the downright bizarre - and not in a nice way. Up for scrutiny are GWAR: The Enormogantic Fail, Loki: Agent Of Asgard (the complete collection), Jughead: The Hunger Versus Vamperonica, The Fourth Power, the first volume of The Reprise Of The Spear Hero, Swimming In Darkness, and the third volume of Granblue Fantasy.

S3 Ep13: Iron Man's Weird Abilities - 4-Panel Vol. 3, Issue 13
Strange powers aren't a new thing to superhero comics (just check out our episode about Superman's collection of odd, and for the most part thankfully forgotten abilities), and this week it's the turn of Tony Stark to go under our microscope. Get ready for a cavalcade of oddities as we explore the history of Marvel's futurist and some the more bizarre functions of his armour ... and his brain? Oh, and before you ask, billionaire playboy philanthropist genius is not a superpower.

S3 Ep12: Beta Ray Bill For Beginners - 4-Panel Vol. 3, Issue 12
Sometimes you just have to go back to basics in comics, and like the characters out of an old-school fantasy novel, the brotherhood between Marvel's Thor and a horse-faced alien cyborg is something that has become legend in comics. But like every good bromance, this one started with a bit of a punch-up. Join Andrew, Rob and Mick as for this beginner's guide to the last survivor of the Korbinite race that includes The Mighty Thor #337 - 340: The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill, Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill, Secret Invasion: Thor, Secret Invasion Aftermath: Beta Ray Bill - The Green Of Eden, Annihilators, and The Unworthy Thor.

Not a hoax! Not an imaginary story! 4-Panel is back! It's been a little bit of an unplanned hiatus, but the boys are back with a new fortnightly show. Join them for a round-up of the latest offerings from Turnaround books. This week, much like Kino herself, they're on a journey all across comicdom with the aforementioned manga, the sensationally named Superior Spider-Man: Otto-matic and Captain Marvel: Falling Star. Then, they'll be stopping by Conan Corner to check out the Savage Sword of Conan: Conan the Gambler and Age of Conan: Valeria, before soaring the uncharted skies of Marvel's newest hero in Aero: Before the Storm. After all of that there's just enough time to check out the first volume of Umi Sakurai's manga A Man and His Cat before, finally, our heroes tackle the seemingly endless expanse that is Absolute Carnage.

Batman has a long history in comic-books, but unlike characters like Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and others who aren't called Green Lantern, there are more version of Batman than people would believe - and that's before we get to Dark Nights: Metal! So where does one begin with so many different versions of the Caped Crusader? With one of Batman's most controversial and divisive "replacements" obviously ... After that it's time for our regular look at the things that we've been reading, which this week include the first volume of Granblue Fantasy, the third instalment of Matt Kindt's Mind MGMT Omnibus, sci-fi shenanigans in Off-World Blues, and Age Of X-Man: The Marvelous X-Men.

We’re back and fully refreshed after a short period off to recharge, and this week it’s the second part of our look at the weirder members of the Justice League. From the original JLA to Justice League Europe, Antarctica (we’re not kidding), and the full-on International version, there are plenty of odd characters to choose from so this may take a while ... … … Okay, so this is probably a topic we’ll come back to at some point in the future. For now we’ll leave you with our regular look at the things that we’ve been reading, which include The Fantastic Four: The Herald Of Doom, Age of Conan: Bêlit, Asgardians Of The Galaxy: War Of The Realms, Secret Warps, and Ignited.

S2 Ep56: Weird Members Of The Justice League Part 1 - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 56
The Justice League is DC’s premier super team , and with members that include A-list heroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Martian Manhunter and The Flash, it’s only natural that it would be popular with fans. But the League has many more “heroes” that make up its roster, and over its decades-long history fans have seen a many changes to the guard - along some strange additions … This week Andrew, Rob and Mick investigate the odder side of the Justice League, and with characters like Maxwell Lord, The Wonder Twins, Blue Devil, Bloodwynd and Detective Chimp to choose from it’s going to be a lot of fun! After that it’s time for our regular look at the things at the things that we’ve been reading, whis this week include Aliens: Resitance, Venom: Unleashed, the first volume of Isabellae by Raule and Gabor, Terminator: Sector Wars, Guardians Of The Galaxy: The Final Gauntlet, and Captain America: Captain Of Nothing.

S2 Ep53: Comic-Book Adaptations That Went Astray - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 53
We're kicking things off this week with a quick look at the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix as it's a nice little prelude to our main topic - comic-book adaptations that strayed a lot from the source material (in both the bad ways and the good ways). After that we have our usual look at the things we've been reading, which this week include Meyer by Jonathan Lang, Marvel's Invaders, the second volume of Emanon (Emanon Wanderer), by Kenji Tsurata, The Girl In The Bay by J.M. De Matteis, and X-23: X-Assassin. Also, we apologise for the problems with the audio in this episode.

S2 Ep52: Comic-Book TV Shows - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 52
TV adaptations of comics are all the rage these days, and since our resident comics sage (Andrew), has gone to do Roman things (that may or may not include conquering Europe), we decided to investigate the plethora of live-action superhero shows. From the Adventures of Superman back in 1952, through the swinging '60s Batman years and the '70s Shazam!, Hulk and Wonder Woman, to the modern day Flash, Agents of Shield, Cloak & Dagger and Runaways, join Rob and Mick for a journey through the ages of comic-book superhero television. After that it's our usual look at the things that we have been reading with our eyes, which this week include the third volume of Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama, Meet The Skrulls, and Mr & Mrs X: Gambit And Rogue Forever.

S2 Ep51: Marvel's War Of The Realms - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 51
The War of the Realms is the big Marvel crossover event that spun out from the pages of the Thor comics, but with so many characters involved in a fight across the nine realms from Norse mythology, where do you even start. Join Andrew, Mick and Rob as they wade through a stack of War of the Realms titles, K-Pop superheroes, trailer-park Skrulls, flying horses, ghost cowboys, babysitters, Hench-Con, Ares (The God of War), and a whole lot of other stuff. Our featured comics on this episode are War of the Realms, New Agents of Atlas (WotR), Journey Into Mystery (WotR), Venom (WotR), Giant-Man (WotR), War of the Realms: War Scrolls, War of the Realms Strikeforce, Captain Marvel: Re-Entry and Champions: Beat The Devil.

S2 Ep50: Superman's Bizarre Powers - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 50
Sometimes you don’t have to look far to see just how weird comics can get, and in this episode we’re looking no further than Superman, who probably has the strangest collection of powers and abilities of any character in comics. Now relatively speaking, flight, super-strength, super-speed, heat vision, X-ray vision, cold breath and invulnerability are pretty normal for a superhero, so what we’re talking about is the really odd stuff. Get ready for super ventriloquism, super hypnotism, super phasing through solid objects, super shape-shifting, super memory wiping kisses, super throwing symbols, super telepathy, super telekinetic vision, super imagination, and more - and those aren’t even the weirdest powers! After that cavalcade of strangeness, it’s time for our regular look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week are Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler, Star Wars: Age of Rebellion - Heroes, The Ice Wanderer and Other Stories by Jiro Taniguchi, and X-Men: Grand Design - X-Tinction.

S2 Ep49: The Future Of The Justice League - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 49
It’s our 200th episode, but rather than celebrating this milestone of podcasting, Andrew and Rob decided to try and figure out where the DC could take their premier superhero team now that Bat-fleck and Super-Cavill have hung up their capes. Get ready for a barrage of lesser-known DC characters as we come up with several ideas including a Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie, an alternate timeline version of Wonder Woman: 1984, creative use of the supervillain Doctor Destiny, and more. After that we take our regular look at some of the things we’ve been reading, which this week are The Savage Sword Of Conan: The Cult Of Koga Thun, the first volume of Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest by Hiro Mashima, the third volume of Kino’s Journey: The Beautiful World by Keiichi Sigsawa, and Old Man Quill: Nobody’s Fault But Mine.

S2 Ep48: Hellboy and Supernatural Pest Control - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 48
Hellboy is arguably one of the most recognisable comic-book characters that aren’t part of the Marvel of DC multiverses, and Mike Mignola’s creation has been preventing all manner of occult shenanigans, mystical hijinks and supernatural tomfoolery for twenty five years. Which means it’s a good time to find out more about Hellboy, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence, and punching demons in the face with a big red hand made of stone. Join Andrew and Rob for a paranormal excursion through the multimedia world of Hellboy. After all that exercise it’s time for our regular look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week include Anthem: Strong Alone, Stronger Together, the third volume of Mob Psycho 100 by ONE, Deadpool: Good Night, and Daredevil: Know Fear.

S2 Ep47: The Boys: Spanking Superheroes - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 47
It’s every fan of the MCU’s worst nightmare - Sony and Disney-Marvel have split and now Spider-Man has to go live with mummy-Sony. This has led to a lot of wild and worried speculating across the internet, so rather than stick our oar into already muddy waters, we decided to discuss The Boys instead. That’s the Amazon Prime series adapted from the violent and brutal superhero deconstruction comics by Garth Ennis, not some local gang of jack-the-lads and ne’er-do-wells. After that it’s time for our usual look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week include Tom Clancy’s The Division: Extremis Malis, B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know - Ragnarok, the third volume of Edens Zero by Hiro Mashima, and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Secrets And Rumours.

S2 Ep46: Semi-Retired Comic-Book Tropes - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 46
Comic-book tropes change over time so this week Andrew and Rob decided to cast a nostalgic (and sometimes harshly critical), eye over some of those that have or are falling out of use. From talking in the third-person, the mysterious narrator, thought bubbles, and the dreaded exposition dialogue, to sidekicks, celebrity appearances, and public service announcements, there’s a whole heap of stuff to talk about. And yes, we did include the extra muscles and really, really, really skin-tight costumes. Once that’s over it’s time for our regular look at the things that we’ve been reading, which this week include Wolverine: The Long Night, Crimson Lotus (From The World Of Hellboy), the second volume of I’m Standing On A Million Lives by Naoki Yamakawa and Akinari Nao, and Sky Hawk by Jiro Taniguchi.

S2 Ep45: Thor: Love And Thunder - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 45
SDCC dropped a lot of revelations about Marvel’s Phase 4, and this week we’re focusing on the announcement that Taika Waititi will be directing Thor: Love And Thunder, and that Jane Foster will be wielding Mjolnir. So along with the shocking revelation that George Clooney could have played the role of Nick Fury (and the equally shocking reminder that The Hoff actually did), Andrew and Rob get down to more Thor-ness than you can twirl a hammer at with Jason Aaron’s Jane Foster/Thor arc. the Thor Corps, Beta Ray Bill (who is best dude), the ever-so ‘90s Thunderstrike and more. After that it’s back to business as usual with our regular look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week are the first volume of Dead Man Logan, the Uncanny X-Men: Wolverine & Cyclops, West Coast Avengers: City Of Evils, and the first volume of Magus Of The Library by Mitsu Izumi.

After burning omelettes and being fed tasty chicken, we decided we’d prepared enough to tackle one of the more … confusing additions to Marvel’s burgeoning cinematic universe, the super team known as The Eternals! Join Andrew, Mick and Rob for an exploration of the shocking history, powerful storylines and memorable characters that make up the group. Wait. That’s the X-Men, or The Avengers, or The Inhumans, or just about any other team of superheroes. So what are The Eternals actually famous for? After that it’s down to the serious business of talking about the things we’ve been reading, which this week include Spider-Man: Far From Home Prelude, Avengers: No Road Home, Captain America: Evolutions of a Living Legend, the third volume Aposimz by Tsutomu Nihei, and Star Wars: Doctor Aphra - Worst Among Equals.

S2 Ep41: Spider-Man: Far From Home SPOILER-CAST - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 41
On this week’s 4-Panel it’s a festival of Spider-Man versus Mysterio as Andrew and Mick embark upon a spoiler-filled discussion about the latest addition to the MCU - Spider-Man: Far From Home. Is it as good as Homecoming? Is it the best Spider-Man movie so far? After answering those (and other), questions it’s time for a new set of musings like why do the two characters have so much beef between them, what are Mysterio’s real origins, how many Mysterios are there really, and other things like that. In order to answer these hugely important questions, this week Andrew and Mick have been reading Marvel Platinum: The Definitive Spider-Man - Redux, and Spider-Man Versus Mysterio.

S2 Ep40: Too Many Spider-Men: The Musical - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 40
To celebrate the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home we decided to investigate the surprisingly vast numbers of alternative Spider-folk that infest the Marvel’s multiverse, but after kicking things off in the familiar territory of Peter Parker, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, things start going downhill very quickly. Seriously, the Spider-folk are literally crawling out of the walls. It’s kind of appropriate that our regular look at the things we’ve been reading begins with Venom: The Abyss, after which we cast off all the spiders for the first volume of the Dept. H Omnibus by Matt Kindt, the first volume of I’m Standing On A Million Lives by Naoki Yamakawa and Akinari Nao, and from the world of League of Legends, Ashe: Warmother.

S2 Ep38: The Batman Villain Variety Show - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 38
With the announcement that Robert Pattinson will be donning the mantle of The Dark Knight in the next movie, we take a look at the villains who are set to play a role in the story, which naturally leads us on to some of Batman villains in general. With some of the more … eccentric … members of Gotham’s cavalcade of criminals from the comics and the TV series, it’s only natural that things are going to weird. After that we get back to our regular coverage of the things that we’ve been reading, which this week are Typhoid Fever (Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Fist), The Whispering Dark by Christofer Emgard, Moon Face by Alejandro Jodorowsky and François Boucq, and X-Force: Sins of the Past.

S2 Ep36: Godzilla: The Ultimate Magical Girl - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 36
With everything from plushies to video games under its giant belt, Godzilla is arguably one of the most profitable and marketable monsters on the planet, and with a new movie in cinemas (which we talk about as well), we though it was time for a look at the comic-book and manga history of the famous kaiju, and surprisingly there’s a lot! After that it’s back to our regular look at the things that we’ve been reading, which this week are Avatar: The Legend of Korra - Ruins of the Empire Part 1, Captain America: Winter In America, Man Without Fear: The Death of Daredevil, the second volume of Kino’s Journey: The Beautiful World by Keiichi Sigsawa, and Shatterstar: Reality Star.

S2 Ep35: Dark Phoenix: Mad Jeans And Mutant Men - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Episode 35
Get the headache tablets and the X-Men crazy wall ready because the Dark Phoenix movie is out soon, so we thought it would be a good idea to look back over the very convoluted history of the cosmic entity. With a full wardrobe of sashes, shawls, capes, children from other timelines, alternate realities, no phoenixes, too many phoenixes, leather, spikes, death, resurrection, spandex (or lack thereof), big long coats, denim jeans (as opposed to the other types of Jean associated with the Phoenix), and Oprah - it’s a veritable smorgasbord of mutant mayhem. After that it’s back to normal service with a look at the things we’ve been reading, which this week are Marvel Knights 20th, Black Panther Vs. Deadpool, Iceman: Amazing Friends, Jessica Jones: Purple Daughter, Runaways: That Was Yesterday, and Is This How You See Me by Jaime Hernandez (part of Love & Rockets).

S2 Ep34: The Strange History of Batwoman - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 34
The Batwoman TV series is on the horizon, so Andrew, Mick and Rob thought it would be interesting to explore the character's rather strange history, and in order to do that we have to go back to the original Batwoman, which isn't the current Batwoman. It was mainly Andrew's idea. With a confusing cast of characters that includes the original Batwoman, Bat-girl, the current Batwoman, Batgirl (not a typo), Batman, Robin, the other Robin, Robin who used to be Batgirl, Superman, Superboy who grew up to be Superman, Bat-Mite, Ace the Bat-Hound, Krypto the Super-Dog, Supergirl, and Comet the Super-Horse (who is officially the worst), it's time to get a nice ball of string and head to the crazy wall. After sanity returns it's time for us to talk about the things we've been reading, which this week are Aliens: The Essential Comics Volume 1 (Outbreak, Nightmare Asylum and Earth War), Aliens: Dust To Dust, Mind MGMT by Matt Kindt, the second volume of Aposimz by Tsutomu Nihei, and X-Men: Black.

S2 Ep33: Spider-Man And His Amazingly Weird Villains - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 33
Spider-Man: Far From Home is due out in cinemas very soon, and audiences will finally get to see Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio in all his goldfish bowl glory, but that got Andrew, Mick and Rob thinking about the web-slinger's vast cavalcade of criminals. So this week we're ditching the Electros, Vultures, Scorpions and Goblins and heading into unknown, and remarkably weird, territory. After that it's back to business as usual with the things that we have been reading, which this week are Dragon Age: Deception, the first two volumes of Mob Psycho 100 by ONE, The Once And Future Tarzan, the first volume of Witch Hat Atelier by , Beasts of Burden: Wise Dogs & Eldritch Men, and Cloak & Dagger: Negative Exposure.

S2 Ep31: Avengers Endgame SPOILER-CAST - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 31
Join Andrew and Mick as they embark on an in-depth discussion about what may become the most successful movie of all time. That's right. They're getting into the nitty-gritty of Avengers: Endgame for a no-stone-unturned investigation of the good, the bad, and the Thanos, which means this episode is going to have a lot of spoilers. If you're one of the few people on the planet who have yet to see the film (looking at you Producer Rob who's stuck in the tropical countryside with no electricity or internet), then DO NOT LISTEN to this until you've seen the movie. After breaking down the newest addition to the MCU into quantum particles, it's time for our usual dose of the things we've been reading, which this week are Cullen Bunn's Asgardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Endgame Prelude.

S2 Ep30: April 2019 Comics And Manga Blowout - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 30
After 182 episodes and a whole lot of Nightwing butts we've finally figured out a new review system, and to make it even better it's in rhyme! It might only be natural since Andrew and Mick are in control (Rob is on the other side of the planet), and they've got a lot of issues to deal with since it's time for another of our monthly comics and manga catch-up episodes! So what do this hapless pair of miscreants have in store for everyone? It's funny you should ask as as there's as there's Marvel's What If? With Great Power, Predator: The Essential Comics volume 1, She Could Fly by Christopher Cantwell, The Spine Chillers by Ben Clark, B.P.R.D.: Vampire, Domino: Soldier Of Fortune, Deadpool: Secret Agent Deadpool, Trout: Bits & Bobs, and the first volume of Sun Takeda's fan-service manga that inspired our new review system - Gleipnir.

4-Panel rides back into town for another round-up of graphic literature goodness, and this week Andrew (the Comics Sage), Mick (Old Man Comics), are having a chat about comics that deserve more love and attention. Meanwhile, Producer Rob (Got Lost At The Checkout), has manga. Lots and lots of manga … There's a lot of titles to go through so make sure you have your notepad ready. After that the gang get back to business with the things that they've been reading, which are Bedtime Games, Ether: Copper Golems, the third volume of Stephen McCranie's Space Boy, Daughters of the Dragon, and Defenders: Best Defence.

S2 Ep28: Love That Joker! - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 28
So we finally get our first proper look at the new, stand-alone movie about the Clown Prince of Crime starring Joaquin Phoenix, but can it match up to Jokers past? Does The Joker need a sympathetic origin story, and which actors played the role the best, the most accurate, and the worst? Join Andrew, Mick and Rob for a field trip to the rather shiny and clean streets of Gotham to find out. After that it’s time for our usual look at the comics and graphic novels that we’ve been reading, which this week are Xerxes by Frank Miller, volume 0 of Polar: The Black Kaiser by Victor Santos, Mr & Mrs X: Love And Marriage, Starcraft: Scavengers, and The Immortal Hulk: The Green Door.

With the news that James Gunn has be rehired to direct the third chapter of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Andrew and Rob decided to take a look back at the long and somewhat complicated history of the space-faring team. From the current roster, through the strange team of the 1990’s to the originals, and yes, we DO talk about Starhawk … After that we return to our usual programming with the things we’ve been reading, which this week include X-Men: Extermination, Infinity Warps and the second volume of Hiro Mashima’s sci-fi Fairy Tail-esque adventure manga Eden’s Zero.

S2 Ep25: A Plethora of Captain Marvel - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 25
The newest addition to the MCU is out, so naturally we went to see it and we’re here to talk about its good points, its bad points, and what we thought about some of the changes made to the original comics. Now that might be enough for any other comic-book podcast, but 4-Panel takes pride in the fact that we have a lot of issues - which basically means prepare yourselves for a whole mess of Captain Marvel. Kicking things off in our reading section is the full run of True Believers (2019): Captain Marvel (featuring reprints of Ms. Marvel #1, Marvel Team-Up: Spider-Man & Ms. Marvel #1, Marvel Super Heroes featuring Captain Marvel #1, Captain Marvel #41, The Avengers #89, The Uncanny X-Men #164, Captain Marvel (2012) #1, The Avengers #183, Ms. Marvel (1977) #20, The Avengers Annual (1964) #10). After that it’s the complete collected Infinity War, Captain Marvel Prelude, Marvel Platinum: The Definitive Captain Marvel, Marvel Universe: Time and Again, and Infinity War: Sleepwalker. In fact, there’s so much Captain Marvel in this episode, we’re tempted to open a market stall.

S2 Ep24: Alternative Continuities In Comics - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 24
After so many reboots, remakes, rehashes, retries and revamps, how can anyone make sense of superhero comic-book continuity, especially where alternate timelines are concerned. Aside from the parallel worlds and changes to history that become part of that particular “universe”, there are also the special issues that are not necessarily related to the main storyline (e.g. Marvel’s What If … and DC’s Elseworlds) - and then it all goes boom when they reset the universe … but is still somehow kind of canonical? Get ready for a new crazy wall of comic-book continuities! Okay, now that the initial insanity is over it’s business as usual with what we’ve been reading, which this week include a whole mess of spider-folks fighting energy vampires in Spider-Geddon, a visit to Jeff Lemire’s stranded superhero team in two volumes of Black Hammer (The Event and Age of Doom), supernatural high-school hijinks in Evan Dorkin’s Blackwood, Havok wreaking … havoc in X-Men: Until Our Hearts Stop, and the rather delightful first volume of Kino’s Journey: The Beautiful World.

It's the end of the month, which means it's time for our new regular feature where we stare at the mountain of comics, graphic novels, manga and trade paperbacks, and try to cover as many as possible in one episode! Can we do it? Maybe. Will we get injured? Probably. Will the mountain still be there afterwards, silently judging us? Most definitely. As for the very minor dent we made in the cartoonishly large pile of comics, that was made up of Sword Daughter: She Brightly Burns by Brian Wood and Mack Chater, Multiple Man: It All Makes Sense In The End, The Immortal Hulk: Or Is He Both?, Iron Fist: Phantom Limb, Marvel 2-In-1: The Thing & The Human Torch - Next Of Kin, Thor: God Of Thunder Reborn, and X-23: Family Album.

The Hollywood live-action adaptation of Yukito Kishiro’s seminal science fiction series Battle Angel Alita (Gunnm), is out in cinemas, but have James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez finally cracked the formula for adapting manga and anime? Andrew, Mick and Rob went to the cinema to find out, but one of them convinced the other two to try the cinema “experience” known as 4DX for the first time. What could possibly go wrong? After that it’s back to business as usual with our regular look at comics and manga that we’ve been reading, which this week are Moon Knight: Phases, Moon Girl And The Marvel Universe, the second collected volume of Die Wergelder by Hiroaki Samura, and Deadpool: Mercin’ Hard For The Money.

Although Netflix has had its ups and downs with the TV adaptations of Marvel franchises, in general the shows have been well-received. But with Disney announcing a new streaming service and the cancellation of every Marvel show on Netflix, how would the highly anticipated second season of The Punisher fare? Join Andrew, Mick and Rob for another lively discussion about The Punisher (only this time without all of the weirdness). After that it’s time for the usual comic-book and manga round-up which this week include Venom: First Host, the second volume of Space Boy by Stephen McRanie, The Mighty Crusaders, Edge of Spider-Geddon and Star Wars: Doctor Aphra - The Catastrophe Con.

S2 Ep20: Comics That Would Make Good TV Shows - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 20
The Flash TV series proved that it was possible to do superpowers well on the small screen, so this week Andrew, Mick and Producer Rob are looking at other comic-book possibilities for television. We’ve got a whole range of possibilities that include Suicide Squad as Mission Impossible, B.P.R.D. in the style of The X-Files, an Expanse-like version of Rick Remender's Low, Tank Girl as a low-budget surreal comedy (in the style of The Mighty Boosh or The IT Crowd), a goofy buddy-comedy starring Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, a strange DC-based concept that culminates in ... a Justice Society of America series, and more besides. After that it’s time for our usual round-up of the things we’ve been reading, which this week are Doctor Strange: Across The Universe, Tony Stark/Iron Man: Self-Made Man, Gigantic by Rick Remender, The Life of Captain Marvel, and Avatar: The Last Airbender - Imbalance part 1.

S2 Ep19: Who's That Titan? - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 19
Fans of DC's Teen Titans franchise have generally been well served when it comes to TV adaptations of the adolescent hero team. From the much-loved anime-esque cartoon series from 2003, to Young Justice and the current Teen Titans Go! - there aren't many superheroes that have that kind of popularity. With the release of Netflix's new Titans series, will the darker take on these youthful do-gooders convince the die-hard fans, or will it be another Inhumans? But the history of the team is a lot larger and more convoluted than people might think, which leads Andrew to test Mick and Rob in an impromptu game of Who's That Titan? After that it's business as usual with the things that we have been reading, which this week are Memorabilia by Sergio Ponchione, Cloak & Dagger: Shades of Grey, and The Hunt For Wolverine (Weapon Lost, Claws of a Killer, Mystery in Madripoor and The Adamantium Agenda).

S2 Ep18: So You Think You Know The Punisher ... - 4-Panel vol. 2, Issue 18
The second season of The Punisher has finally landed on Netflix, and to celebrate our half-boiled comics and manga detectives from the 4-Panel agency decided to investigate some of the weirder things that have happened to Frank Castle over the decades. From his brief stint as an African-American in the early ‘90s and his resurrection as an “angel”, to his other “resurrection” as a monster and the bizarre manga replacement, it’s been a very odd ride for old Frank thus far … After that it’s time for something a bit more normal as Andrew, Mick and Rob discuss what they’ve been reading, which this week includes the second volume of The Seven Deadly Sins: Seven Days, I Am Young by M. Dean, Domino: Killer Instinct, the third volume of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku by Fujita, and Runaways: Best Friends Forever.

4-Panel's Christmas Annual 2018 - Discoveries
The 4-Panel gang are taking a break during Christmas and New Year's, but we've recorded some extra treats to tide you over till we return in January. On this first mini-episode the fantabulous (fantastic and fab were already taken), four of Andrew, Mick, Producer Rob and Editor Rob look back over the previous year to talk about the comics and manga that they've discovered. Some of the titles are surprising, others are less so as we've dropped some very obvious "hints" for months about how good some discoveries were. Anyway, we'll be back soon with more minisodes for you all to tuck into after you've broken all your new toys and TV is showing nothing but repeats. We'll see you then!

It's the last full-length edition of 4-Panel for 2018, and in the spirit of the season Andrew, Mick and Producer Rob take a look at some Christmas comics. What could possibly go wrong? We mean well.

One of those threatened to bring down the whole episode. After that we round off this episode and this year with our usual look at comics and manga that we've been reading, and this week we've got Doctor Who: The Phantom Piper, Marvel Platinum: The Definitive Thanos, and Doctor Star and The Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows.

With the new year looming and the dust from the fourth Avengers movie (no pun intended there), finally settling and the loss of James Gunn at the helm of Guardians of the Galazy, Andrew, Mick and Producer Rob get together once again to discuss the possible futures for the MCU. So where does the Marvel Cinematic Universe go now, and which heroes can we expect to appear in movies and TV shows? Join us as we speculate the possibilities ...

S2 Ep13: Stan Lee Tribute - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 13
We lost one of the kings of pop culture, a much beloved creative force, and one of the people who was responsible for making comic books what they are today. He made us believe in characters who were larger than life, but somehow still down to earth, and shone a light on prejudice (X-Men), diversity (Black Panther, Luke Cage, Jean Grey, Black Widow, She-Hulk), mental health (Hulk, Ant-Man), and physical disability (Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Iron Man), at a time when such issues were ignored or disparaged. On this week's episode Andrew, Mick and Rob pay tribute to one of the 20th and 21st century's greatest pop culture icons - the late, the great Stan Lee, who made us believe in heroes again and again. After a sombre start it's time to talk about what we've been reading, which this week are Sullivan’s Sluggers by Mark Andrew Smith & James Stokoe, EXO by Jerry Frissen & Philippe Scoffoni, the first volume of The Seven Deadly Sins spinoff manga series Seven Days by You Kokikuji, the first volume of Boarding School Juliet by Yousuke Kaneda, Deadpool: Assassin and the Ghost in the Shell: Global Neural Network anthology.

Given that it's on TV though, should it be the Marvel Television Universe? The Marvel Netflix Universe? The Marvel Connected Universe? Let us know what you think in the comments. After that it's time for our usual look at actual comics and manga, which this week include the eighth volume of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Infinity Countdown: Darkhawk, and X-Men: Phoenix in Darkness.

It's time for another episode of everyone's favourite comics and manga podcast, so join the Comics Sage (Andrew), Old Man Comics (Mick), and Producer Rob as they discuss the good, the bad, and the sometimes particularly ugly realm of "mature" comics - which does not mean porn! When should a comic or manga be labelled "mature"? What topics or themes would it include? Welcome to a "serious" house of "serious" comics on a "serious" podcast. After that it's back to business as usual with some comics and manga, which this week include Falcon: Take Flight, S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Human Machine, the 7th volume of Fuse's That Time I got Reincarnated As A Slime, and The Paybacks.

S2 Ep5: Who is Captain Marvel? - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 5
While Producer Rob trudges back from the realm of video games in the midlands that he voluntarily got trapped in, it's up to the Comics Sage (Andrew), and Old Man Comics (Mick), to run the show, so after a discussion about the trailer for Captain Marvel they explore the history of the character - from the original blond-haired, blue-eyed very-much male Kree warrior Mar-Vell to the current human female iteration (and apparently closet fascist if Civil War II is anything to go by), of Carol Danvers. After that it's the never-ending business of comics and manga, and this week our featured titles are Aliens/Predator/Prometheus/AVP: Fire and Stone, Star Wars: Dr. Aphra - Remastered, Vinegar Teeth by Damon Gentry and Brooklyn Blood by Paul Levitz. Until next time, may all your nemeses be evil.

S2 Ep4: Comic-Book Video Games and Vice Versa - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 4
After being inspired by the barnstorming success of the recently released Spider-Man on the PS4, Andrew and Producer Rob decided to have a chat about video games based on comics and superheroes, and why the reverse is becoming more prominent in recent years. Seriously, the new Spider-Man game is that good. That said, this is not a video games podcast - we'll leave it to Press X to deal with that particular pastime. This is a comics and manga podcast which means, as always, that we also discuss some choice titles which this week include Halo: Rise of Atriox, Rise of the Black Panther, Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon, and Old Man Hawkeye: An Eye for an Eye.

S2 Ep3: A Comics and Manga Extravaganza! - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 3
Club Med for Mutants Sometimes you can accumulate too many comics, manga and graphic novels, and when that happens then it's time for a good old-fashioned blowout, so join Andrew, Rob and Producer Rob for a special episode where there's a little less conversation and a little more action. So what's in store on this episode that's chock-full of graphic literature goodness? There's inhales Tales of Suspense Featuring Hawkeye and The Winter Soldier, Rogue & Gambit: Ring of Fire, Legion: Trauma, the first volume of Akiko Higashimura's Tokyo Tarareba Girls, Astonishing X-Men: A Man Called X, Jughead: The Hunger, Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers, the first volume of Stephen McCranie's Space Boy, and IAN: An Electric Monkey by Ralph Meyer and Fabien Vehlmann exhales . That was a lot of comics and manga, so while you wade through this episode we're off to lie down for a bit. We'll be back to our normal routine next week when we'll be talking about the new Spider-Man game.

S2 Ep2: The Fantastic Four in the MCU? - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 2
All-new (yet still somehow same-old), 4-Panel returns and this week Comic's Sage Andrew joins Producer Rob to continue their discussion from the previous episode, but this time the focus is on The Fantastic Four. What will the MCU version look like, when could Marvel's first family finally fight alongside the Avengers and The Guardians of the Galaxy, and who could possibly play the roles of Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben? Conjectures abound as our hosts postulate the possibilities before coming up with their own ideas … After that it's time for the usual dose of comics and manga goodness, and this we're featuring Ant-Man/Giant Man: Growing Pains, and Dakota North Investigations: Design for Dying - which has a character that neither Rob nor Andrew have heard of. It's a bit of a sparse week, but tune in to the next show where we make up for it. Oh yes we will!

S2 Ep1: X-Men in the MCU? - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 1
Yes, you read that right. This really is the first episode of the second season of 4-Panel, which means we've completed what may be the longest first season in podcast history. Now that we're in a new series you can expect some teeny, tiny differences here and there … Kicking things off this week, Andrew and Producer Rob discuss what the X-Men might look like once they finally join the MCU while offering up a few ideas of their own - which leads to some some interesting possibilities. After it's business as usual with some comics and manga, and this time we're featuring Rome West, Marvel 2 in 1: The Thing and The Human Torch - Fate of the Four, The Invincible Iron Man: The Search for Tony Stark, and The Amazing Spider-Man: Family Business. If you like the new look of the show then please give us a 5-star rating on iTunes or your podcast app of choice.

S1 Ep151: 4-Panel 151 - The Infinity Gauntlet // Reincarnated As A Slime // Doctor Who // ...
The Monkeys Have Unionised? The Prodigal Mick rejoins Andrew and Producer Rob for this week's episode of the comics and manga podcast that can only be spoken about in hushed whispers (preferably somewhere reasonably deserted and covered in heavy fog). So what's in store for these agents of graphic literature mayhem? Well, there's casting news for both the Batwoman movie, Daredevil's arch-nemesis Bullseye will make the jump to TV as well, the live-action adaptation of Ys: The Last Man will feature a CG monkey, and Supergirl is getting another movie - which may or may not be connected to the TV series and probably won't be connected to the original Supergirl film. It's not a great week for news, but it's presented in the way that only 4-Panel is capable of (if this is what we're like when we're sober …). After that it's time for us to roll out the comics and manga and under the spotlight this week are volume 6 of Fuse's That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Doctor Who: Land of Blind, Jim Starlin's Infinity Gauntlet (the finger-snapping good one), and Venomized.

Venom's Killer Joke Book It's our 150th episode and you'd expect us to have organised something grand to commemorate this landmark episode … Nope, you must be thinking of another podcast. This is 4-Panel, and long-time listeners will know that we never have a plan. What we do have is an Andrew and a Producer Rob who discuss the latest trailer for Venom and how the Disney purchase of Fox will affect properties like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. After that we move on to the main reason why you're here (the big pile of comics), and this week we've got the second volume of Malika: Warrior Queen, Hellboy and the B.P.R.D: 1955, Empowered and the Soldier of Love, and the first two volumes of Tom and Nimue Brown's folklorish supernatural tale Hopeless, Maine.

S1 Ep149: 4-Panel 149 - Hellboy // Wolverine // Ant-Man // Star Wars // ...
Hellboy's Lucha Libre Holiday The comics and manga merry-go-round returns for more shenanigans, and this week things have been happening! Kicking things off this week is the news that James Gunn has been fired from Disney Marvel as director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for tweets he made years ago that they already knew about and that he'd already apologised for - make of that what you will. In other news, Chelsea Cain returns to Marvel for a new Vision series, and also teams up with Kate Niemczyk for a new Image series, pilot scripts are announced for Mega-City One, Netflix picks up the live-action TV series adaptation of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's Lovecraftian supernatural/horror series Locke and Key, and Robert De Niro will star in Joaquin Phoenix's Joker Movie. In addition to all of that Andrew and Rob offer their considered opinions about the trailers for DC's upcoming superhero movies Aquaman and Shazam, Phew … it's an unusually packed episode this week. So, moving on to the serious business of actual comics and manga, this week we've got Wolverine: Savage Origins, volume 1 of Hellboy: The Complete Short Stories, Ant-Man: Astonishing Origins, and Star Wars: Han Solo.

Special Werewolf Chocolate It's time for your weekly trip into the confusing and argumentative wonderland of comics and manga, so join Andrew and Producer Rob as they drag the other Rob along for another 4-Panel outing. So what's been happening lately? Well, Duncan Jones is planning to dip into the pages of 2000 A.D. to make a Rogue Trooper movie, there's news about Spider-Man: Far From Home, This week, on our comics and manga podcast, we talk about Duncan Jones planning a Rogue Trooper Movie (2000AD), and some movie discussions about Spider-Man: Far From Home, Aquaman and Shazam, the news that Batwoman getting a TV series, and a truly terrible trailer for the live-action Titans (Teen Titans it most definitely isn't). After that we get to the important matter of our featured comics and manga, which this week includes Thanos Wins, volume six of Maybe's To The Abandoned Sacred Beasts, Ant-Man & The Wasp Prelude, and Doctor Strange: God of Magic.

S1 Ep147: 4-Panel 147 - Sherlock Frankenstein // Jenny Finn // Golosseum // ...
The Creeper in my Sock drawer This week on our friendly neighbourhood comics and manga podcast, Andrew and Producer Rob are joined by the other Rob (yes, we know it's going to get rather confusing). It's a rather sombre opening this week as the gang remember the work of the legendary Steve Ditko, with time enough for a chat about the second season of Netflix's Luke Cage before it's time to dig into the big pile of comics and manga. So what did we fish out from that magical heap of words and pictures? Well, there's some tales from the pages of Archie with The Complete Cosmo the Merry Martian, Ben Frankel's murder-mystery Frank, Jeff Lemire's Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil, Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey's Jenny Finn, the first volume of Yasushi Baba's Golosseum, and Avengers: No Surrender.

Captain Harlock’s Synth Pop Album After a week off it's time for the phoenix-like return of Andrew and Producer Rob as 4-Panel rides again! So, after a collective and half-hearted "Yeehaa" our the dastardly dashing dynamic duo dissect Kevin Feige's news dump during the Ant-Man press tour before they find out what the DC universe has in store for everyone going forward. We also have the worst news ever (again), but this time it's in relation to bloodsucking Eurotrash and man who doesn't glitter attractively in the daytime, Morbius the Living Vampire - who is going to get a movie starring ***** **** in the lead role. It's just the worst news … That said, we do have a treat for everyone as our featured comics and manga this week are Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku Volume 2, Moon Knight Vol. 1: Crazy Runs in the Family, David B's A Tale of a Thousand and One Nights: Hasib & The Queen of Serpents, and the tenth volume of 's epic viking series Vinland Saga.

S1 Ep145: 4-Panel 145 - Return to Planet Hulk // Milk & Cheese // Spirits Of Vengeance // ...
Beware of the Bizarro-Dorkin It's time for another bout of hot comics and manga action, but before Andrew and Producer Rob start wallowing in their piles of graphic literature there just enough time to have a chat about Iron Fist headlining Marvel’s presentation at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Netflix saving Lucifer from cancellation (and thereby potentially proving that they are in fact satanists), DC's new streaming and online comics services, the fact that Superman IV’s Nuclear Man is now canon and not an embarrassing memory, and the quantum state of DCEU's solo Batman project. It's happening (maybe), and people are in it (allegedly), and it will begin production soon (apparently), but it may also not be happening and in one universe it may have actually had a real bat in the role of Bruce Wayne. Ah, physics … Our featured comics this week are Return to Planet Hulk , Enough Space for Everyone Else, Spirits of Vengeance: War at the Gates of Hell and Milk & cheese: Dairy Products Gone Bad.

Tango & Cash in SPAAAAACE! Your weekly guide to all things comics and manga is back for another folly-filled episode, so join Andrew and Producer Rob as they investigate Batman: White Knight - which will apparently feature the first nude Joker and Harley sex scene (urk. Sorry, we kind of threw up in our mouths a bit there), along with the birth of DC's "sexy" new Black Label line. After that somewhat harrowing start we find out that Marvel are bringing back The Unstoppable Wasp and Iceman (which they cancelled not long ago), and there's some information about the sequel to Patty Jenkin's 2017 smash hit Wonder Woman, as well as long-awaited second attempt at a Green Lantern Movie - which tangents into the greatest sequel never made. We've got a mixed bag of featured comics and trade paperbacks this week with Amazing Spider-Man: Venom Inc. The Runaways: Find Your Way Home, more tentacles and symbiotes in Venom & X-Men: Poison X, and the second volume of Star Wars: Darth Vader - Dark Lord Of The Sith.

This week they discover the multi-fronted return of Wolverine (and not just any Wolverine but the extra hot version), the worst DC live-action movie imaginable, the renewal of Legion for a third season, and the trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. After that it's time for the spoils of our hunt with Iceman: Absolute Zero, Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson's supernatural pet-based horror Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites, Ethan Young's semi-biographical web-comic Life Between Panels: The Complete Tails Omnibus, and B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know.

Grimy Old Man Logan We've got a shorter episode than normal of everyone's friendly(ish), neighbourhood comics and manga podcast as Andrew and Producer Rob discuss The Pouch - Rob Liefeld's newest character, the news that Todd Macfarlane will direct the new Spawn movie (which will star Jamie Foxx in the title role), the Netflix television adaptation of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez's Locke & Key, and the streaming company's collaboration with Mark Millar on the production of an original motion comic (which isn't a cartoon apparently).

Dimension Jumping Lassie Andrew and Producer Rob are back to talk about some narrative sequential art (you know, comics and stuff … and maybe the odd cave painting). Kicking things off this week is the news that Mysterio will be the main villain in the sequel to Spiderman: Homecoming, which leads us on to a defunct concept called Old Man Peter Parker. After that we discover that Disney World Florida is offering Marvel haircuts, and the news that Damon Lindelof's Watchmen will be a “remix” of sorts.

Everyone Forgets About Turkish Superman It's time for another dose of that anarchic comic-book "medicine" that your ears desperately need, so join us as we have a chat about a Doom Patrol TV series, and a prequel/origin story spinoff for Gotham about Bruce Wayne's trusty butler Alfred (which is going by the simple moniker Pennyworth). We also discuss Kevin Feige's hints about Kamala Khan's addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the trailer for the TV adaptation of Rick Remender's Deadly Class. With such a considerable amount of news, we consider ourselves a lucky, lucky podcast. After all that it's time to get down and dirty with our featured comics and manga which this week are Deadpool Vs Old Man Logan, Generation X: Survival of the Fittest, The New Mutants: Demon Bear, Avengers: Mighty Origins, Avengers (2016), the fifth volume of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime by Fuse, and X-Men: Grand Design.

S1 Ep139: 4-Panel 139 - Free Comic Book Day 2018
Because Tank Girl! It's a special day for comic-book fans. A time when rich and poor alike can enjoy the antics of superheroes and villains together … until the inevitable fight over the last free issue of whatever's popular at the time. That's right. It's Free Comic-Book Day which means we have a big pile of comics and we're going to cover ourselves in them and damn the consequences (but maybe leave the shop first before you think of doing that). With so many titles to get through we've had to be selective, so join Andrew, Mick and Producer Rob as they get acquainted and reacquainted with The Tick, Shadowman/X-O Manowar, A Brief History of Tank Girl, Relay, James Bond 007: Varga, Lady Mechanika, Transformers Unicron, Doctor Who, Invasion (featuring Captain Canuck), 2000 A.D. Regened, and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (with a bonus Captain America story). We haven't even finished yet, so we'll be back with more free comics after we manage to dig ourselves out from the pile … If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Lens Flare After some Thanos-based finger-snapping shenanigans only two-thirds of us are available for this episode, so join Mick and Producer Rob as they discuss J.J. Abrams' new and "subversive" superhero movie, DC's plans for another TV adaptation Swamp Thing, and a strange case involving Superman, Lois Lane, the Church of Scientology and the FBI. After that it's time for a chat about Avengers: Infinity War - which we try to make as spoiler-free as possible. This week's featured comics are Black Panther: Shuri - Deadliest of the Species, Spider Men II and Punisher: The Platoon. We also have time for another movie (we really are a comics and manga podcast, honest!), with Takashi Miike's adaptation of Hiroaki Samura's violent, supernatural samurai manga series Blade of the Immortal.

Morbius, The Eurotrash Vampire It's time to get neck deep into comics and manga again, and this week we've stolen "borrowed" one of the hosts from another show in the Geek Show's podcast family. He's [in] our gaffe now. Unfortunately we recorded this a few days before that movie hit cinemas everywhere, but we will be talking about it on the next show so don't worry. In the meantime we have a nice chat about the trailer for Venom, Joss Whedon's horrible script for Wonder Woman (which he has tried to defend), lots of hints and reveals from Mr MCU himself - Kevin Feige - about things to come, and to top it all off we also find out how he reacted to the … erm … jealously(?), of a famous science fiction director called James. After that it's time for our featured comics and manga which are: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime volume 4 by Fuse, Dust Ship Glory by Elaine M. Will, Avengers: Infinity War Prelude, Chimichanga: The Sorrow of the World's Worst Face! by Eric Powell and Stephanie Buscema, and The Initiates by Etienne Davodeau.

Sticking with DC, we also discover that Margot Robbie's Harely Quinn will feature in the movie adaptations of Birds of Prey. After all of that it's time for what everyone is really here for, but what featured comics and manga do we have up our sleeves this week? Well, there's a Fukushima Devil Fish by Susumu Katsumata, Star Wars: Jedi of the Republic – Mace Windu, Avengers and the Infinity Gauntlet, Frau Faust volume 4 by Kore Yamazaki, and Marvel Platinum: The Definitive Avengers Redux.

Banana-Flavoured Iron Fist It's often said that it's not the destination that's important but the journey itself, which is good news for us as we often wonder how can start with a simple bit of news and wind up somewhere … else. Aside from that it's time for your weekly dose of comic-book and manga goodness which will be administered through your ears by Andrew, Producer Rob and Editor Rob. Kicking things off is the news that the rather excellent series Injection by Warren Ellis has been optioned for TV - something that we're all looking forward to. After that we discuss the villains in the second season of Luke Cage, and the announcement that C. B. Cebulski and Hiro Mashima will both be judges in a collaborative award between Kodansha and Marvel that will focus on certain superhero manga. Our featured comics and manga are Image's Rumble, Marvel Legacy, The Sentry, Arakawa Under the Bridge volumes 1 & 2 by Hikaru Nakamura, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra and The Enormous Profit (volume 2 in the series), and the first volume of the surrealist comedy manga City by Keiichi Arawi (the creator of Nichijou: My Ordinary Life).

The Power of Sparkles Compels You When does nightmare fuel eventually travel full-circle and become hilarious? That's the sort of question that can only be answered on the latest edition of 4-Panel. Join Andrew and Rob as they talk about all things comics & manga, and kicking off this week are the 42nd annual Kodansha manga award nominees followed by the surprising news that a "metal" band are getting their own graphic novel. After that it's time for lots and lots of speculation about the possible changes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in - and after - the upcoming Infinity War movie. Our featured comics and manga are Stars Wars: The Clone Wars Volume 2 - Legends, Cell Block Earth and Other Stories, Junji Ito’s Gyo: The Death-Stench Creeps & The Enigma of Amigara Fault and To Your Eternity volume 3.

S1 Ep133: 4-Panel 133 - I Kill Giants // Cloak & Dagger // Star Wars // ...
The Unfathomable Anatomy of 1990s Comics You bring the ears, we'll bring the comics. It's been a busy week in comic-book land, so join Rob and Andrew as they find out more about Marvel and SB Projects' acquisition of half of Aspen Comics, discuss a plethore of DC news (including the end of Dark Nights: Metal, the return of the hall of justice, and what that last bit might herald). There's more from inhumans-watch which just doesn't die (or will it? A newly announced comic holds all the clues), and there's also the return of some Marvel royalty. Mix all of that with our usual anarchic perspective and we're in business. We kick off that part of the show where we usually talk about comics by talking about a movie instead (Go Anarchy!) - as Anders Walter's adaptation of Joe Kelly and Ken Nimura's classic graphic novel "I Kill Giants" hits the big screen (we covered the comic-book back in episode #105). After that we head back into the lovely, weird and confusing bosom of comic books with the 40th Anniversary hardback edition of Star Wars: A New Hope, the controversial (for its time), Blazing Combat, Thor Vs Hulk: Champions of the Universe, and a new Cloak & Dagger collected trade paperback called Runaways & Reversals.

Everything is Game of Thrones We may be a day late but that doesn't mean we can't tackle the comic book world with our usual class. That's a perfect description of this show, isn't it? In the news this week we discover that Ava DuVernay is being lined-up to direct DC's New Gods movie, after which we have a nice chat about the trailer for Deadpool 2. We also learn that Chris Evans will definitely be leaving after Avengers 4, social network My Anime List is opening an online digital manga store, and two of our favourite manga - Vinland Saga and Hinomaru Zumou - are getting anime adaptations. Oh, and we also talk about the most nightmarish reboot of Barbarella, but don't let that concern you too much … Our featured comics and manga are Briggs Land volume 2: Lone Wolves, volumes 1 and 2 of Yusaku Komiyama and Jim Zub's Marvel: Zombies Assemble, Michael Chabon's The Escapist: Amazing Adventures, book 1 of Saverio Tenuta's Japanese folklore-based epic Izuna, and the first volume of Mitsuro Kubo's confusingly titled time-tripping manga Again!!

Kicking things off this week are some newly revealed details about Marvel's highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War, after which we're shocked to discover that the movie "Dredd" was actually directed by Alex Garland (according to Karl Urban that is). Rounding things off is the news that show favourite Skottie Young will be making a new Deadpool series - which is basically a match made in heaven! So, while the idea of Thor's hit YouTube series is running through your head we move on to our featured comics and manga, which this week are Inhumans: Once And Future Kings, B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth – New World, Avengers and Champions: World Collide, the manga adaptation of Makoto Shinkai's Voices of a Distant Star, and Mystery Men: The Golden Age.

It’s a Tomspiracy!! Welcome back to the Event Horizon of comic-book and manga podcasts that is 4-Panel (just don't ask us to pronounce the names of anyone). On this drama-filled episode we discuss Chris Hemsworth's Thor contract (which sounds painful), rumours about the Venom movie, DC taking another stab at a Suicide Squad movie and a mysterious little something called Manga Kakeru. This weeks comics are Generation X: Natural Selection, the first volume of the Overwatch Anthology, Darth Vader: Imperial Machine and Edge of Venomverse. Oh, and sorry about the "dramatic" ending.

Spider-Man Vs. The League of Binge Drinkers It's 2018 and 4-Panel return for more anarchic comic-book and manga mayhem. As it's the first show of the year, we're duty-bound to look back at highs and lows of the past 12 months - in a manner of speaking! We also discuss Marvel's annual cull of not-so-popular comics and the final days of the popular unlicensed manga website Batoto - who have long been a friend to scanlator groups everywhere. This week's featured comics and manga are Marvel Superheroes: Larger than Life, To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts volumes 4 and 5, and A Silent Voice volumes 5 to 7.

4-Panel 120 - Hatsune Miku // Marvel: Generations // Black Panther // ...
Meaty Slabs of Beef Mick has gone to more exotic climes so Rob takes the third seat alongside Andrew and Producer Rob for another comics and manga podcast extravaganza. In other news, Marvel are thinking of doing their own story-based podcast, we get our first look at the live-action Teen Titans version of Robin (long-time listeners will be able to guess where that leads), and there's now a petition for two different cuts of Justice League meat. Our featured comics and manga are Marvel: Generations, Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Captain Phasma by Kelly Thompson, Black Panther & The Crew by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Hatsune Miku: Future Delivery - Little Asimov and The Green Thing Left Behind volume 1 by Satoshi Oshio, and Neo Parasyte M (Neo Kiseijuu).

4-Panel 119 - Thor: Ragnaroks // The Shield // Bloodstone // ...
So Much Blood It's time for another heaped spoonful of comics and manga with Andrew, Rob and Mick. So the big news this week is the release of the first official trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, and the "accidental" (but technically totally on-purpose), racism from Marvel's new Editor-in-Chief (silly boy). After that we get down to some home-grown violence and discuss Netflix's new series of The Punisher. Our featured comics are The Shield, The Escapists, the Colder Omnibus, Thor: Ragnaroks and Bloodstone & the Legion of Monsters .

4-Panel 118 - Frau Faust // Star Wars // To Your Eternity // ...
Not By The Hair On My CG Lip Andrew and Mick trade back their new model Rob for the older, more comfortable version this week. The news is cause for some head-scratching as DC's decide to do a JLA/Doom Patrol crossover with the rather odd title of Milk Wars. Meanwhile, Jude Law may take on the role of Marvel's original Captain Marvel (i.e. the Kree warrior Mar-Vell), Marvel wonder where Wolverine is, and the cast of the Justice league cartoon want to do a reunion movie - which neatly leads us on to a good old natter about the new live-action film from Warner Bros. Our featured comics and manga are Frau Faust volume 2 by Kore Yamazaki, I Love This Part by Tillie Walden, Helvetica Standard: Bold by Keiichi Arawi, Serenity: Better Days, Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel, and To Your Eternity (Fumetsu no Anata e) volume 1 by Yoshitoki Oima.

4-Panel 117 - Reincarnated As A Slime // Flowers of Evil // The Visitor // ...
Don't Taint My Slime With Your Filth! Andrew, Mick and the other Rob (he's not a palette-swap - honest!), are here with another heaping helping of comics and manga. This week the gang discuss the new trailer for Deadpool 2, the early reactions to the Justice League movie (which aren't all pretty), and the return of Kick-Ass for its 10th-anniversary - which apparently the comic-book community really wanted and wasn't news to everyone … Our featured comics and manga are A Small Revolution (a French Indie graphic novel by Boum), the unexpected and inexplicable Flowers of Evil by Shuuzou Oshimi, the second volume of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, the mange-themed slice-of-life A Zoo in Winter by Jiro Taniguchi, a return to the Hellboy-verse in The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed, and Comics For a Strange World (Poorly Drawn Lines), by Reza Farazmand.

4-Panel 116 - Cells At Work // Porcelain // Toppu GP // ...
Arm The Sneeze Torpedoes It's time for more comic-book and manga fun, and big things seem to be happening for DC this week with the announcement that the road may be ending for the DCEU and the arrival of Brian Michael Bendis - who finally leaves arch-rivals Marvel after seventeen years. We also find out that Disney once had discussions with Fox to by almost all of it, and that the best Inhuman of all (which is Lockjaw obviously), is getting his own series. Our featured comics and manga are Porcelain: Ivory Tower, Dean Motter’s Mister X: The Modern Age, Cells at Works (Hataraku Saibou) volume 1 by Akane Shimizu, Star Wars: Darth Maul, Toppu GP volumes 1 and 2 by Kosuke Fujishima, and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Pellucidar: At the Earth's Core.

Black Bolt’s Bad Burrito More comics and manga can only mean it's time for another episode of 4-Panel. This week we have the unexpected return of Inhumans-watch! It's almost as if we're flogging a dead horse, but who could possibly do that to the Inhumans? Who? (Yeah, sarcasm is invisible on the internet.) Anyway, we also discuss Mads Mikkelsen in a movie adaptation of a web-comic and discover some unexpected inspiration for a survival guide manga. Our featured comics and manga are Baby Teeth #1, volume 1 of Mitsuru Hattori's manga adaptation of Nisioisin's Imperfect Girl (Shoujo Fujuubun), Marvel Platinum's Definitive Edition: Thor Redux, volume 1 of Kore Yamazaki's Frau Faust (featuring The Invisible Museum), and The Dark Horse Book of Horror.

4-Panel 114 - Thor & Hulk // Cosplayers // Doctor Strange & The Punisher // ...
Black Adam Goes Forth Your weekly dose of comic-y goodness returns with 4-Panel, and our usual blend of irreverent anarchy sees the return of Inhumans-watch, the return of a major character in the third season of Daredevil, rumours about a Deathstroke movie and the possible return of Marvel's One-Shot short films. So lots and lots of rumours with a little bit of Halloween. Confirming things is overrated it seems. This week our featured comics are Thor & Hulk, Dr. Strange & The Punisher: Magic Bullets, Halloween Tales by Denis-Pierre Filippi and Olivier Boiscommun, and Cosplayers by Dash Shaw.

Hidden in the mist of tangents and nonsense are the trailer for The New Mutants, Cable's existence as a movie character (but nobody is committed to saying much else), Marvel's plan for their very own brilliantly-monikered convention, and a new live-action adaptation of a legendary manga series. And Innuendo. Lots and lots of innuendo. This week's featured comics and manga are Rodolphe D.

4-Panel 111 - Marvel Legacy // Moonshine // Horizon // Hellboy // ...
Boy Meets Venom This week on 4-Panel we talk about the biggest Iron Man story ever … at least according to Brian Michael Bendis. There are lots of terrible movie references - including one that is incorrect and from the movie guy no less (he should be ashamed).

This week's featured titles are Calla Cthulu and Hellboy: An Assortment of Horrors from Dark Horse, Horizon #1 to 5 and Moonshine #1 to 6 from Image, and the first issue of Marvel's Legacy series.
