  • Came for Ultimatum, stayed for the hosts

    I saw Anne posting about Ultimatum on BlueSky and had to check it out. Then, comic nerd that I am, I decided to listen to the whole Ultimate Spider-Man saga and got hooked. I’m currently working my way through the back episodes and can’t wait to see what the collective cover next.

  • Overall Great

    Great show but Dallas’ need to incessantly interrupt others with mediocre quips and jokes can get a bit much.

  • A court of thorns and roses podcast with the occasional comic book segment.

    My favorite comic book discussion crew in all honesty. Very fair conversations about comics coming from the point of view of fans and non fans alike.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Creator Interview - Jimmy Gaspero and Amber Akin, "Penny and the Yeti"
Q: Can you guys break down this book for me, how it came to be and what it's about?
Jimmy explains that the idea started as a story with his younger daughter, evolved into a four-page script about Penny and the Yeti, and eventually grew into a full-length project after submissions and editor interest, with Amber contributing the art and color from early on.
Creator Interview: Garth Ennis
Q: Why did you choose fantasy elements in your work with Babs?
Ennis explains that fantasy allows him to play with tropes while keeping a playful, irreverent tone that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Ronin ft. Matt Draper
Q: What did you think of this reading of Ronin?
There were moments that were crazy and felt like a power fantasy, and parts that made me feel like I needed more context to appreciate the art and story.
Once and Future
Q: What did you think of this take on Arthur?
It was shocking and very different from the typical good guy portrayal of Arthur. It felt refreshing and like a grim fairy tale.
The Moon Is Following Us
Q: What would you say the theme is for The Moon Is Following Us?
The overarching theme is generational trauma, as the comic explores how parents' past experiences impact their children.
