Hey Kids, Comics!

The discussion on For Tomorrow WILL NOT DIE! in the email section whilst Andrew muses on a Howling Commando’s movie. Then Andrew & Micheal deliver Hellblazer’s final farewell, for which they’ve waited with baited breath. After perusing Hellblazer 298, 299 and 300, they welcome Constantine #1 with baited hook.

To finish off Superman’s Birthday, Micheal and Andrew look at CBR’s top 75 Superman stories, then delve into reader feedback before two more comics that don’t have super heroes in them. Well, kind of. ALIENS: EARTH ANGEL and PLANETARY #3. I’m pretty sure PLANETARY has a super hero in it…

Thungg, Earthlets! Tharg The Mighty here saying that this week’s Hey Kids, Comics! is packed with Thrill Power!

It’s a thoroughly random email segment where Angela picks her sexiest Superman and names all 11 Doctor Who actors in order – kind of – before Micheal and Andrew kick off “But it’s not got super heroes in it!” season. Andrew guides the Battlestar Galactica through the choppy waters of [...]

What to say about this, the final episode of Happy Birthday Superman? Well, if you’ve listened to the others, it’s kind of like that – low-rent, no-budget wrong headed opinions but with added Spider-Man! Oh, and DOOM! Oodles of DOOM! Join Andrew and Micheal for the finale – DOOM won’t [...]

In the penultimate Happy Birthday Superman, Andrew and Micheal read emails and talk comics. Business as usual.

Back to what we laughingly refer to as “normal” this week as the email section celebrates convalescence. Then Superman has to deal with a DARK KNIGHT OVER METROPOLIS in a 3 part story from Superman #44, Adventures #467 & Action #654 before returning the favour and dropping by Gotham in [...]

Micheal and Andrew spend the email section yammering but then the Superman time clock turns to the 70’s with a clutch of classics; from Superman #233, Superman Breaks Loose. From Superman #296 Who Took The Super Out Of Superman?, from Action Comics #484 and from Superman #300 – Superman 2001. [...]

Another E-Mail Section which will lead to talking about comics. Maybe ones you’ve not read. Enter at your own risk.

Dick Grayson’s tenure as The Batman heats up as Micheal & Andrew look at the middle third of Prodigal! It all kicks off when Batman takes on Two-Face and Robin takes on people who talk in the cinema! I know who I think is more insidious.

The end of the year approaches and so begins Micheal and Andrew’s epic coverage of the end of the whole shebang that began with KNIGHTFALL – Prodigal. The start of Dick Grayson becoming Batman, not the end. The end is the beginning. Or something. Anyway, ENJOY!!

Arbitrary season finale? Check. Whoring out due to a new TV/Film? Check. Andrew and Micheal tackle THE LONGBOW HUNTERS, Mike Grell’s much lauded, criminally ignored re-invigoration of Green Arrow. He also has a new TV show out called Arrow! We are so shameless!

What will be discussed in the email section this week? Your guess is as good as mine at this point but Micheal then has an uphill battle with his Spotlight, trying to convince Andrew about the merits of Frank Quietly. Does he succeed? There is only one way to find [...]

In an episode almost as long as a Peter Jackson film, Micheal and Andrew answer emails, goof off and continue to express admiration for Darwyn Cooke’s New Frontier.

KNIGHTSEND. Erm, ENDS! Who writes this drivel? More emails but, sadly less Airwolf as it all comes to a close. Who is left standing? Is it worth reading? Find out after you clickety click!

More emails, more backchat, more arguments, more Knightsend! Yes, it’s an ALL-NEW Hey Kids, Comics! What more could you want on a Thursday?
