Show Update

This week we return to explaining comics to Dad with Dave Stevens homage to 1930s serials the Rocketeer.  Dad reads the complete edition from IDW and shows he cannot recall any comic book he has ever read in the past or any single bit of pop culture ever.

Next Week: Marvel's The Runaways.

EP 230: Daredevil #169

Dad and Patrick dive into Jason Aaron and Roland Boschi bring about a bloody take on the manger story with the Punisher "protecting" a mafia Don, his wife, and an unborn child from three vile Wise Men on a mission to wipe them out. 

Dad and Patrick also discuss email and gifts from listeners and why mincemeat pie is one of the greatest foods on Earth.

Next Week: JLA New World Order

Punisher MAX X-Mas Special

Dad and Patrick head deep back into DC comics with Grant Morrison and artist Howard Porter's inaugural run on JLA with the four-issue arc featuring very 1990s supervillains and some very cool Batman moments.   Dad has questions about what age Wonder Woman is supposed to be in this series and why is Batman running around in the daylight?  Patrick makes a good mincemeat pie filling but an awful crust.

Next Week:  Blacksad:  A Silent Hell

EP 232: JLA New World Order

A podcast in which I try to get my Father, who thinks comics are for dolts and lowlifes, to understand why I love them and find them amazing. He is tempted with a treat to read an issue or arc and we discuss the comic and I try to defend or explain comics culture.
