  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

JLA/Avengers ft. Owen Likes Comics
Q: What standout moments in the plot stood out to you besides the big crossovers?
Lex highlights Superman with the hammer and shield as a electrifying moment, plus the Darkseid-gLOVE sequence; Owen underscores the balance of power and humor in the character interactions and the vast roster of cameos.
Birds of Prey by Gail Simone
Q: First three comics to hand to a new reader, if they are ambitious?
Aisee suggest starting with Gail Simone's Birds of Prey run to showcase strong character dynamics, then filling gaps with background arcs as needed, while acknowledging that context helps but isn't always strictly necessary for enjoyment.
It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth
Q: What media do you find yourself relating to the most?
Alexis emphasizes relatable depictions of depression through art and personal vulnerability, while Dallas and Anne discuss how media portraying honest emotional journeys, even with heavy subject matter, can offer solace and a sense of seen-ness to readers.
It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth
Q: Lonely questions. Dear friends, this comic is very important to me, and I saw myself reflected in it unlike few other things. What media do you find yourself relating to the most?
The hosts relate it to personal experiences with mental health and literary works that mirror internal experiences; they emphasize how comics that blend realism with humor can reflect vulnerability without becoming overwhelming, and they highlight fellow works that explore similar introspection.
Creator Interview: Chris Schweizer
Q: How do you balance historical influence with fantasy elements in the world-building?
The world is deeply rooted in historical aesthetics and geography, but designed to be accessible; the goal is to create a believable culture and setting that feels lived-in without leaning too heavily on real-world parallels.
