Comic Patrol
If you dig comic books, this is the podcast for you: we are wickedly good-looking, incredibly knowledgeable and mildly dumb as HECK. From comic book arc analysis, to movie pitches, to publisher/writer spotlights, to character comparisons and more(!!), join co-hosts Coke and Dank in this weekly podcast to get your ears humped with geek culture... This is Comic Patrol. Warning: Hosts may experience brief moments of cheer as tangents of random discourse often distract and amuse all parties.
Episodes
The next 3 episodes have come and gone; we even gave you all an extra few days to marinate in them.... Before getting the objectively best opinions right here on this very show. Tune out the rest of the noise and just stick with us as we navigate the middle 3 episodes that bring us our first look at Genosha, a space opera and a trip to New Mexico, as the sentinels come full circle. And there's a whole lot of melodrama and memorable...
In 1983, Ralph Baksi's Fire and Ice dropped and it tells the story of an evil queen and her son, set on conquering the entire world shortly after the ice age. Against them, stands one man (and help, so clearly not 'just' one man) from a destroyed village who takes it back to the evil frozen empire in this rotoscope styled film. A little over 40 years later, how does this bad boy stand up to the test of time - and was Teegra's bo...
Okay so.. We were going to wait to do an episode on the entire series, but let's be real here: we love talking about X-Men (if the last 4 or 5 episodes weren't evidence enough of that). In the spirit of being the mutant FREAKS we are, here are the first 4 episodes of the new X-Men 97 series (that due to technical issues, is a week late #sorrynotsorry). We talk about the character arcs thus far, dive into each individual episode an...
PREVIOUSLY, ON X-MEN... We had to. You know that we had to. Anyways, X-Men 97 premiered yesterday, but instead of covering the first two episodes of that series, we decided to revisit its origins: X-Men The Animated Series from the 90s.
What we didn't do is cover every single episode of all 5 seasons, but instead, we picked 17 episodes (a few from each season), to talk about and discuss. Are they our favourite episodes and arcs?...
Image Comics is about to enter the shared universe... universe. And Ghost Machine is the introduction to the first few characters that will be taking part in this world.
Dive in and check out the issue for the several stories that are here: post apocalyptic radioactive anti-heroes, farmers with animal controlling helmets, and a red coat who can't seem to die are just a few examples of what is to come with the new Ghost Machine univ...
No, seriously. Ask yourself: "If you die in the woods, does anybody care?" This playfully dark book by Steve Steiner kinda explores this. Deep in the woods of Big Hole Park, people are going missing and it's up to the pair of rangers (and a lost infomercial host) to figure out who or what is murdering these hikers.. be it man OR beast.
It's either that or keep hiding the bodies themselves...

THE HOX POX DOX is deliveth !!
We're back on the Jonathan Hickman's choo-choo, and we're flying through the days and lives of our favourite X-Mens. With Reign of X recharging our love of this comic-run we go full steam into an event like no other. Coke and Dank are now full shills for everything X-Men (except Children of the Atom) and as the saga continues, we're back to finish off the party, with fan favourite Emma Frost.
This...
THE HOX POX DOX has cometh !!
We're back on the Jonathan Hickman train, and we're jacked. As you can tell both Coke and Dank have shared their ups and downs of the first part of the Reign of X saga, and now we're back to finish what we started.
This ain't X of Swords, it's Reign of X and it is bringing us closer to what we hope will be a dope conclusion of this mutant league run. So gear up for this part II of epic proportions.
In the far future, Captain America and other superheroes are losing their way to time and a suppressive government, but when Steve finally has enough of living under the thumb of maniacs, he finds a way to push back.. This is Avengers Twilight #1.
It has Old Man Logan vibes, it has Gran Torino vibes, it even has a pinch of The Watchmen vibes. But is it good, boys? IS IT GOOD? Well, listen in and find out.
We came back for round 2 of Bitch Planet! If you know the first volume, then you know the premise of a prison planet that was built to house disobedient females away from the male-controlled Earth, and you also know about the cliffhanger vol 1 left us on. Well we couldn't sit with that nonsense, so we dived back in so we could find out how the second and final volume wraps up.

Our beloved Batman The Animated Series ended in 1998, and a year later, the next version of the character debuted in Batman Beyond!
"Rebirth" is the two parter that kicked off season 1, and we cover it in here - all about the shoes it had to fill coming off of Batman TAS and how, at the same time, it being its own possible classic
Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez created Locke and Key.
Coke and Dank now breakdown Locke and Key yet AGAIN!.
Volume 3 for this story of magical keys and family drama and deep, dark secrets. And we'll keep going too, because this story is too much of a fun, and unique ride. We're back with the Locke's and all the tragedy they have been facing, from the continued fallout of their dead father and alcoholic mother and all the trappings...
Yeah. We watched the Madame Web trailer and this is what we have to say about it. So, yeah. Madame Web. Yup...
We all have way more apps on our phones than we care to admit, but what if you had an app that was a guaranteed hookup? No, not Tinder or Bumble or whatever similar "dating" app you know of; I mean one that could link you directly with the person or kink you desire most. That app is Crave. And this is First Glaaaaance of Crave #1 (of 6)
Do you miss the Daredevil show that was on Netflix? Well Marvel proper heard you, so before we get the 18 episode Daredevil: Born Again series, we get this precursor from the scenes of lasy year's Hawkeye: Echo. It will be the MCU's first M rated show and this trailer gives you just enough to understand the tone without telling you too much more. Safe to say, we are in.
Sink volume 1 hit us like a ton of bloody bricks. So we obviously couldn't wait too long for the follow-up and hoo boy, if you enjoyed the first chapter as much as we did, this is a must read. It picks up right after the events in the first book, and also acts as a way to bring multiple characters and arcs together in an even tighter way. It's a culmination of events in this wild, violent universe. Welcome to Glasgow, ...
