Comic Patrol
If you dig comic books and conversation between two would be friends, this is the podcast for you. We are wickedly good-looking, incredibly knowledgeable and mildly literate detectives who spent countless years rising the ranks over comic book creations we shared across the pages. We kept the spotlight on what we loved/hated the most on all of comic book culture, and anything that made us graphical fans from the beginning. Buckle in and join co-hosts Coke and Dank in this weekly podcast to get your ears perked with our brand of geek culture... This is our patrol, This is Comic Patrol. Warning: Hosts may experience brief moments of cheer as tangents of random discourse of rage often to distract and amuse all parties. #numeatz #sawftcheeze

Marvel's first family isn't just called that because it sounds clever. No, the Fantastic Four literally are the first family of Marvel Comics, and to celebrate that - as well as the new, upcoming flick - we are taking it back to 1965's Galactus Trilogy. That's right, the first appearance of the big, planet eating guy and his silver surfing henchman guy.
Does this read well 60 years later? Well, let me tell ya something: No. But is ...
There's a new Superman movie coming out! And on top of that, we did some research: One of the biggest inspirations for the new flick (although not the MAIN one, but still), For All Seasons, has now joined our list of Arc Analysis runs (essentially our own book club).
Now, if you know us, we claim Superman is one of the hardest characters to write well because of his powerset, but when a writing team gets it, it can truly make you a...
Issue #9 of the new Jason Aaron Turtle run is out and just like we said, we love T-U-R-T-L-E POWER... as we're ongoing, ongoing and ongoing this new tmnt run!
We are going to check-in with which issues we read from last month and then look ahead for what's coming up in the solicitations for June, and pick out the ones that look most interesting to us. Our Pull List issues we cover in this episode are:

Arc Analysis time (which is just something we call our version of book club) and this one is a doozy! Hey, you like aliens? Check. Hey, you like being terminated? Check. And hey, do you have an interest in predators? ...I kinda hope not, but check. AND LASTLY, do you you think mushing these three franchises together could work as a 4 issue miniseries? Well, whether you answered yes or no to that one, you should still hit play and l...
With the Trials of X now behind us, we move forwards into the fiery twists of Inferno!
The end of the Hickman penned portion of the Krakoan era, the deepest and craziest secrets come to light, from Moira to Omega Sentinel to Mystique and even Krakoa itself, alliances and relationships will be forever changed.
In this episode, we cover Inferno #1-4, but we talk a lot about certain characters and where things could go from here, and ...
HOX POX DOX!! ITS A XbyX EPISODE!!!!
We return to cover the long celebrated X-Men Krakoa era
We're back on the Jonathan Hickman train, and we're waking back up to the world we almost forgot. As you can tell both Coke and Dank have spent countless hours following the Krakoan crew, through fire, magic and now in Beast's brain. So its easy to say we're back to finish what we started.

It not often we get a chance to read comics from the ground up, but we lucked out with DSTLRY and their new brand imprint.
Still the brainchild of David Steinberger and Chip Mosher, in May 2023. This is the house that has given artist and writers a fresh perspective, setting themselves up as the house that writers built: "focus on ethics, creator empowerment, and equity. Along with up-front participation by the founding creators, ...
The very first Arc Analysis episode we did was for Volume 1 of a wonderful book called Deadly Class. It took us 62 Arc Analysis comic reviews, before we'd circle back to the kids of the King's Dominion Atelier of the Deadly Arts, and it didn't disappoint.
We are back for the 3rd instalment of the undeniable feverish pairing of pen Rick Remender and ink explosions of Wes Craig
This is the continued-continued misadventures of a high...
Issue #8 of the new Jason Aaron Turtle run is out and just like we said, we love T-U-R-T-L-E POWER... as we ongoing, ongoing and ongoing this new tmnt run!

Well Numeatz & Sawftcheezes we made it! The Comic Patrol celebrates their 100th Arc Analysis, and what better way would we celebrate than reviewing the 4 issue iconic pairing of Mark Waid and Alex Ross in Kingdom Come.
Arguably one of DC's greatest "elsewhere" books. It discusses themes of morality, changing landscapes, old batman, and a terribly named villain - MAGOG! MYGAWD.
Buckle in fans, as we go in, and dont sugar coat...
*EDIT - DANKAGAIN HERE "thanks for reaching out sawftcheezes and noticing the error, we now updated the full intro into our part 3 of Daredevil: Born Again!" Carrying along the 'Born Again' tagline on your project is a tall order when that subtitle carries the weight from one of the best Daredevil stories ever written, so the next few episodes of our podcast - like we did with X-Men 97 last year - will be focused on the new Da...
Carrying along the 'Born Again' tagline on your project is a tall order when that subtitle carries the weight from one of the best Daredevil stories ever written, so the next few episodes of our podcast - like we did with X-Men 97 last year - will be focused on the new Daredevil Disney+ series. This second part covers episodes 4, 5 and 6, so let's see how they stack up to the old Netflix series, and to the comic book legacy of Mr M...
We've been a little held up because we were doing our Frank Miller episodes, but is there a better segue from that iconic writer to something Daredevil related? We. Think. Not.

It was a long time coming, and in Comic Patrol mythos, we created our own Hall of Fame for comic book writers and comic industry influencers.
With our first inductee we elected Alan Moore to our HOF, we now have reached the time to induct our next writer who made waves of influence and impact through the pages of comics, graphic novels and film: FRANK MILLER
We went through almost his entire catalogue of books and offerings in ...

Back at it again for - Saga time! The THIRDINING And we can no longer lie about this Image published, Brian K. Vaughan written and Fiona Staples drawn: epic-of-spacegasim-proportions! The world is so big but that doesn't stop our eyes from reading more and more. We finally have 3 separate storylines converge all on the same side of the universe, planet Quietus. Finally the bloodlust Prince Robot IV and bounty hunter Will desce...
The last time we opened the pages of this Eisner nominated Image Comic produced - Bitter Root. It was our 31st Arc Analysis episode and admittedly we were dumbfounded... A book so beautiful with vibrant tones, line work and emotion, paired with a concept so original and new but... ultimately stuck with a story too muddled. We have returned back to the second arc of Bitter Root: Rage & Redemption. The question is: do Coke n D...
Issue #7 of the new Jason Aaron Turtle run is out and just like we said, we're keeping up with it until it ends or we do.

Janey Belle returns and goes west, as she makes her way to the wild dessert oasis that is Las Vegas. If the first volume was a sinker, and volume two was a ...
