Comic Exposure

In their second WWII book of the month, Josh and Travis dive into the magical espionage trenches of London in TKO’s book “Witches of WWII”. Paul Cornell’s comic weaves history and fiction in a way that surprises the boys.

Two of Josh and Trav’s favorite creators, Garth Ennis and Steve Epting, team up together again at TKO studios for another Russian WWII front story: Partisan. Will this spiritual sequel to Sara live up to the boys expectations?

Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta push to cape crusader in a more brutal direction in their Absolute Batman series. Where does this grim dark Batman rank in Josh and Trav’s favorite Batman archetypes?

Alright Bat-fam! This isn’t the first Batman book the boys have talked about, but it is the the first of back-to-back Bat books the boys are doing this January. And this one has a lot of Robin! So settle in to hear what Josh and Trav think about this Waid take on the dynamic duo.

Another year and a few dozen comic reads under Josh and Travis’s belt. Join the boys as they look back at their favorite reads, artists, heroes, and villains from their 2025 comic stack!

The boys and Andrea peel back the plastic on the very scintillating comic Gun Honey volume 1. What will the gang thing of the late night “red shoe” read?

Jordan Thomas’s crime noir falls in the middle of noir November. Chris Matthew’s art soaks the story with noir flavor, but will Travis and Josh dig that flavor. Tune in and find out.

After years of fawning over Brubaker and Phillips noir books, the boys read the current bookends to their long running “Criminal” noir crime series.

Spooky season is reaching its climax with this EC Comics horror anthology. What will the comic exposure think about these snack-size horror stories? Will it satisfy their spook-tooth or leave them hungry for more?

Andrea, the Queen of Halloween, dips her spooky scepter into the art and storytelling of Mike Mignola. What will she, Josh, and Travis think of Mignola’s dark fable anthology?

Andrea, the Halloween Queen, graces the pod with her royal presence to kick off the “spooky book” season with the Tyler Boss and Adriano Turtulici book “You’ll Do Bad Things”. This writer-based horror book may have some very chilling panels!

“Godzilla takes on his greatest foes yet—Jay Gatsby, Sherlock Holmes, and the Time Machinist—in this graphic novel mash-up by Tom Scioli from IDW Publishing!” Pretty weird huh? Yeah, we think so too, but in the best way.

It’s a “genre September” and there is reason to believe that the boys may find some joy in Matt Kindt and Dan McDaid’s cosmic odyssey comic.

“From Daniel Freedman (Raiders) and Mondo and DICE artist Robert Sammelin comes an original graphic novel that’s a nonstop, high-octane existential action spectacle that perfect for Mad Max: Fury Road fans.” Josh and Trav crack into the genre piece…

For a couple of 80’s baby punk rockers, Grommets scratches an itch for Josh and Travis when it comes to nostalgia. Listen to the guys talk everything from malls to Taco Bell in the skating fueled slacker story.

After a summer of reading comics that take place in a galaxy far far away, its time for Josh and Travis to wrap up their time in the Star Wars universe and maybe even pitch a Star Wars story arc or two.

Trav and Josh read through a comic based on the original rough draft of the Star Wars film.

Get a double dose of Vader in this episode with the boy’s thoughts on the 1999 four-issue mini-series “Vader’s Quest” and Kieren Gillen’s “Darth Vader” series.

Not all droids are sweethearts as Josh and Travis find out while reading Charles Soule’s Dark Droids.
