Lewis has a new assistant who is on to them, Clark must contend with the harsh forces of the water and land, and there might just be a mutiny on their hands soon.

In the first of our Catching Up episodes, Ozzy brings us an absolute banger with Invincible by Robert Kirkman (Walking Dead, Marvel Zombies, Battle Pope), Cory Walker (Punisher War Journal, Science Dog), and Ryan Ottley (The Amazing Spider-Man). We last left off with our hero falling victim to a brutal beating at the hands of his own father, how has this changed his worldview? How will those around him respond? Will Mark graduate high school? Will we find out Hellen's REAL NAME?? All these questions and more will be answered! Other topics include drama-free thanksgiving for our boys, Kyle's huge surprise, and an announcement about Christmas!

Returning from our spooky month Ozzy delivers the hilarious story of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

After stumbling upon a way to perhaps prevent the change she has a fateful encounter with DEVIL DINOSAUR! Also making a (not real) cameo are the Gorillaz!
Other topics include Kyle being home alone for a week, Ozzy drinking water, and whether or not Moon Girl and Squirrel Girl should join the MCU. 

Chase Presents BRZRKR

"No one lives." - B
 
Our second-ever guest joins us this week. Chase is a friend and fan of the podcast WHO HAS NEVER READ A COMIC! Join us as he takes on a crazy Keanu Reeves inspired journey into the comic world of BRZRKR. B is an 80,000-year-old, immortal demi-god who only wishes for the opportunity to die. The US government has agreed to assist him in his quest so long as B helps them out in the meanwhile. Other topics include Chase's first time reading a comic and how he had never seen Stranger Things until he heard us, Ozzy getting some dope new ciders, and Kyle not knowing the definition of identical and fraternal twins. 

Werewolf by Night

"Kill me as I am. Otherwise, there will be no mercy, I promise." - Jack Russell.
 
SPOILERS ABOUND FRIENDS!!!!!!
MCU's latest release is the topic of our discussion today. The head of the Bloodstone family has died, it is now time to crown a new leader of the Monster Hunters! A group of monster hunters is pitted against each other and forced to hunt down a creature nightmares are made of (supposedly). We will also be pointing out Easter Eggs, debating the new important characters to the MCU, CGI vs Makeup, and the merit of specials. Other topics include Kyle's experience at the Broncos game, Knoxman's first pumpkin patch trip, and Ozzy striking out on takeout twice in one week. 
 
Let us know how you felt! Do you want more specials? How did you feel about it? Do you want more whacky characters?

"It was too much, too fast." - Stan
This quote pretty much sums up the entirety of this comic. Kyle presents a twist on the zombie horror genre, The Crossed by Garth Ennis. If normal zombie movies aren't graphic enough for you then boy, oh boy, you should check this episode out. The Crossed delivers a different take on the zombie trope by adding in hyper-violence and intelligence to the creatures. The story follows a group trying to make their way to Alaska during a zombie takeover, but these zombies are smart, vengeful, and extremely violent. Don't expect a happy ending! In this episode, we also discuss Kyle's warped sense of time since moving to Denver, Ozzy saving a wedding and being forever part of a memory, and Ozzy asking Kyle for a funny story to lighten the mood!
