Thank you for listening all this time and we hope you enjoy these last episodes as they appear. For episode 115 we sat down and discussed Sci-Fi comics.

That doesn’t mean we will be stopping OUR JLI volumes though. From now on we will just be covering what issues we think would make up the next collection. For now though, this episode is our continuation of Keith Giffen, J.M. Dematteis (Justice League America #31-35), Bart Sears & Adam Hughes (Justice League Europe #7-11) JLI series or the “BWAHAHA” Justice League as people now seem to know it. Kevin McGuire had long dropped off by this point having now even stopped on covers but will make one or two appearances in the future. This continues to be a sou

Our good buddy Tony Esmond came to visit us and took part in our MAD conversation and it was an absolute pleasure to have him here and see him again. For those who don’t know, Tony is one third of the brilliant Awesome Comics Podcast and the host of the wonderful Never Iron Anything Comics Review Podcast/Website. He also, along with buddy/artist Adam Falp, runs and puts out comics through their new underground comics publisher Tribute Press. We went completely MAD for this one. We take a look at paperbacks, magazines, comics, and everything in-between, around and involved with Mad Magazine and it’s legacy. There were gifts exchanged, some thoughts and a load of laughs. Come join us for this and all

Back in 2022 we spoke about Mr Grant after sadly hearing of his passing. We were all very big fans and it was great to share around the work we had of his and talk about times we had either seen or met him. A true gentleman and a master of his craft. He is sorely missed. https://www.tcj.com/alan-grant-1949-2022/ (Above is The Comics Journal obituary to Alan Grant) This and all the usual comics chat on… That Comic Smell!

We took this time to have a little comic swap/mart in the driveway of That Comic Smell’s home. It was one of the few times we had seen each other in person. Mike had been gifted various longboxes with A LOT of comics. They were predominantly DC titles and after we had met, had a good laugh and picked our way through them all, we went back home, read a bunch of them and discussed it over Skype. This is a little blast from the past and some things that are discussed may be long past now but it just gives us a little glimpse into a time where we were still trying our hardest to stay connected with friends and loved ones. It’s also where we got free comics a

On this episode we get together to discuss our “Intention Fails” and whether we managed to get through our 3 for this year and what we chose for the year ahead. For those who weren’t there for the first time ‘Intention Fails’ are comics that we bought with every intention of reading but have then sat on the shelf for some time, unread. So we take this time to pick 3 particular titles and attempt to read them in the year. We have done it for roughly 3-4 years now. Nando, on the other hand, reads his comics as soon as he gets them. SO for him, he was sharing his top reads of 2022. The rest of the gang did this also. Just as an added extra, we

Welcome to episode 105. We had our Christmas get together on the 19th of December and had a slightly different topic this time.

On this episode of the pod we look at a Scottish institution. We gather up all our collections, thoughts and memories on the wonderful “Oor Wullie and The Broons” Both incredible comic titles in their own right, originally lovingly and expertly brought to life by the late great Dudley D Watkins who was a local comics legend and actually a fairly close neighbour to the Podcast HQ. You would be hard pressed to find a person in Scotland who doesn’t know who Oor Wullie or The Broons are. (Recorded 23/11/2021) This and all the usual comics chat on… That Comic Smell!

We dig a little more into the recent Europe Comics title sent to us and just have a good old fashioned, chin wag about what’s been wetting our appetites this time around.

This time around the crew are talking Intention Fails and their best of 2021. We revisit, what has now become a tradition for TCSPod. The Intention Fails, the comics that we have bought but never got round to reading. We each picked 3 (or four in some cases) titles at the start of last year but did we manage to read them all? We then went on to choose another three (or more) to read through 2022. Have alisten to see if you’ve read them already or if you want to buy them up and read along with the folks here. We then make our way onto the comics that lit up our 2021 and made it to our top 3, along with some honourable mentions. This and all the usual comics chat on… That Comic Smell!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We are going to start this New Year off with some reviews. These were done earlier in 2021 but it’s a good way to start 2022 by hearing about some comics you can now get your hands on. There are self published works here, our friends from Avery hill, the kind folks at Europe comics and more! So have a listen, get a pen and paper at the ready to list those titles you’re going to want to buy and if you already have some of these comics then have a listen and see if our ideas match up. Let us know what you think of them as well. We would love for 2022 to be the year we get more listener mail and hear what you folks have to say.
