  • Late to the party

    Found this after Will was on The Flophouse. I like the format since it is similar to The Flophouse - they talk about a comic (or a few comics in a run) and give a quick overview of the plot and art, taking breaks to give opinions and crack jokes.

    You aren’t going to get extensive research and Nightcrawler will be called Wolverine a lot, but it’s fun. More love for the nonsense in the 90’s, though, please…

  • What a couple of milksops!

    I started listening when this was a Spider-Man centric podcast, but Will and Kevin’s fun personality and banter have kept me around through all the good, the great and the bad that comics has to offer. I look forward to the day when they finally review John Byrne’s Alpha Flight or Englehart and Rogers’ Detective Comics run. Until then, make mine Milksop!

  • Chris Gethard is forever wing

    Why waste your time sopping milk somewhere else!? Screw It, We’re just going to talk about Comics is the first podcast I’ve listened to other than the murder porn I hear when in the car with my wife, and I have no need for any other podcast. As a lifelong comic fan I can’t get enough of the Milksops and their take on these monumental stories that have now transformed into the movies that have dominated pop-culture since the mid 2000s. Cannot recommend this podcast enough! No matter what you hear... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Absolute Milksops: Absolute Superman #6
Q: Are Absolute Comics objectively great stories, or does their greatness stem from the various ways they play with the well-known character tropes?
The hosts say familiar character references can make alternate-universe stories more rewarding, but the stories can still work on their own merits. They compare this to superhero films and other reimaginings that rely on audiences recognizing established tropes.
Absolute Milksops: Absolute Superman #6
Q: So Marvel has the Ultimate line. Is the Absolute take a DC response? As in DC saw the Ultimate sales work, and then tweaked the idea?
The hosts say Marvel's original Ultimate line showed that a separate rebooted universe could work, but DC's Absolute line makes more radical changes to its characters than the Ultimate line generally did.
Absolute Milksops: Absolute Superman #4-#5
Q: Any thoughts about the upcoming crossover of all the three?
Will hopes the team-up keeps the characters' interactions fractured and tenuous, while Kevin likes that Absolute Justice is a separate miniseries that will not interrupt the main titles.
Absolute Milksops: Absolute Superman #4-#5
Q: What might it look like if the stars of the Absolute Universe teamed up with some of the Marvel characters' heaviest hitters?
Kevin and Will favor using the original Enforcers, letting their familiar versions briefly hold their own against the Absolute heroes rather than redesigning them into more powerful, generic characters.
Hellsops - The Chained Coffin Collection Part 1 (reposted)
Q: What does it mean to you as an artist to be able to express such a powerful statement in your comics?
It's about dealing with destiny and all these things and forces that are going against what you want, how you want to be as a person in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two comedian brothers bring lifelong enthusiasm and playful sibling banter to discussions of comic books, from current superhero reboots to influential indie and back-catalogue series. They usually focus on one issue or a short run at a time, recapping the story and weighing its art, characters, creative choices, and place in a larger comics universe. Listener emails and recommendations add a conversational, community-minded element, while recurring off-topic segments and pop-culture tangents keep the tone loose.
