Except for maybe the Archie part. Afterlife With Archie by Roberto Aguire-Sacasa and Francesco Francavilla - tinyurl.com/ArchieZombie In this episode, we head back to Riverdale but instead of Predator, Zombies are after us! Spooky, right? RIGHT? It's the grand finale of our Octremble Spooktacular! We reveal all of our fun/sad Halloween plans. Sly joins Phil's harem. Ryan gets spooked by the "for boating" zombie apocalypse. Two minute Darryl's gotta go fast. And the scariest reveal of them, Phil might be a brony who hates history.

On this episode, the gang let Darryl pick the book we read. Last time he picked one, it was an existential horror manga that stuck with us for months. This time, it's a super extreme 90s Marvel book that probably would've fit in better during Edgelord August. Apparently Death's Head II is a rich character with history from Transformers to Doctor Who. Buckle up, it's quite the journey. Read along: Death's Head II Vol 1 and Revolutionary War: Death's Head II In this episode, we journey into the minds of our two most intriguing hosts to see where it all started, Death's Head II. Or maybe Death's Head I. And maybe Minion. Don't forget Death's Head 3.0! Or maybe Death's Head Cubed? Who knows? There's a lot of lore to unpack here. All will be revealed as you learn Sly's original screen name and internet persona. Just why does Darryl want to be Death's Head II when he grows up? Why does Phil hate time traveling so much? Ryan, as usual, has no idea what's going on, despite Darryl hyping this when Ryan interviewed him about growing up with these comics.

Welcome to our second annual Legacyvember, Somebody-Kill-Me-November, Thanks-for-killing-my-favorite-characters-giving extravaganza. This month, we're talking Green Lantern. In the 90s, Green Lantern went crazy, killed everybody, and was radically re-imagined as another 5'10" white guy with dark hair! So progressive! Plus the origin of the trope "Fridging," when a female character is brutalized to motivate a male character! So progressive! Read along: Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight and A New Dawn by Ron Marz and Darryl Banks On this episode, we finally reveal just where the term "fridging" comes from, everyone's favorite sexist trope! It's been a year since we talked about The Death and Return of Superman. What happened next for Green Lantern after his city was destroyed? And how was it different from the last time a new Green Lantern showed up? Sly brings back his lore corner! Ryan really spent a lot of time talking about this story in college. Phil reveals his true superhero alter identity, The Hobo! Darryl's been waiting to see if this story lives up to the hype for years. Does it?

  It's Part 2 of our Annual Thanks-for-killing-my-favorite-character-giving special! This one relies pretty heavily on our last episode, where Green Lantern went crazy and murdered everyone, so make sure you listen to that one first! This picks up a few years after that tragedy and picks up right in the middle of another big DC event, Final Night. Will the ex-hero turned super villain Green Lantern return to save the day? And then what happens next? Read along: The Last Will And Testament Of Hal Jordan On this episode, we continue with Green Lantern's journey through the scariest nightmare imaginable - The 90s! And the early 2000s, but who's counting? We primarily focus on a standalone graphic novel that follows Green Lanterns' Silver Age sidekick as his life completely falls apart after the death of his icon. Jumping Fish Hooks, Emerald Avengers! Darryl stands alone when everyone else really loved this book. Is Phil finally starting to LIKE COMIC BOOKS? Ryan does his best to stop him by bringing up the dumbest lore he can think of. And in a SHOCKING TWIST, Sly agrees to disagree!

Happy new year! We look to the future, 2099, and see what Marvel thought it would look like. Pretty frickin' awesome, if you ask me. A world of complete privatization and one liners. What more could you want? The Punisher killing everyone? Because he's here, too. Punisher 2099 by Pat Mills, Tony Skinner, and Tom Morgan This book is... something. It's a world with Street Surgeons who steal your organs if you don't pay your police subscription. It's got anti-gravity carnivals. Death Support Systems. Molecular Disintegration. And some LIBERAL PSYCHOBABBLE. Ryan is entering into 2018 full on fascist edgelord. Sly's won him over, can he convince Phil to join them on the dark side (almost definitely). Darryl's still holding strong on the side of compassion and societal analysis. FOR NOW.

We're back in the future! We stuck around the alternate 90s Marvel universe after last episode's Punisher 2099. Is it still a bizarre cyberpunk, anarcho-capitalist wasteland? Yes. Is it still a lawless wasteland? Yes. Is it still totally awesome? Hell yeah. Everyone wears super cool shades and surfs through the internet. But this time, Dr. Doom is our hero, and what a hero he is. We covered the first 10 issues of Doom 2099. We all loved this book, but we're split on which parts we loved! Whatever happened to this writer? Is he dead or was he just a visitor from another time? Darryl's the necessary evil that we all go to for help. Ryan's just become Sly's mini-sidekick, echoing all his opinions. Sly really needs Cyclops' goggles of his own. Phil maps out his plan for the first sentient AI.

Here we are again. Back to Ultimates. Guess what? The second half is way worse! Make sure you listen to our last episode, where we covered the first half of Ultimates, before this one! Ryan admits he was wrong and there's no deconstruction or satire, just toxic masculinity. For real this time. Darryl is just blown away by just how Millar has poisoned us all. Phil compares him to Shakespeare. Sly just wants to put Ryan on blast for how dumb he is, but Ryan's just lying down and taking it. We've been doing this for two years and we're just broken. Happy anniversary, y'all.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! It's time to help Robin find his mom! All four of them! Iran's in the news a lot lately, so we recorded an episode two weeks ago, before anything happened to help hype it up for everyone. We're getting our cohesive synergy on by following up our episodes on DC's political stories of the 80s and some of Jim Starlin's work to bring you Jim Starlin's mark on the Batman Universe, Death In The Family. Just like Thanos, he set out to kill half of our main heroes. So who died: Batman or Robin? We'll give you a hint, it's definitely not Batman. Read Along with Batman: Death In The Family And The Two Issues Before It In this episode, we get some pretty serious whiplash from all the tonal shifts here. First, Ryan goes looking for some nose candy before Robin throws him off a balcony. Sly is FINALLY respecting Ryan's choice of favorite characters (Jason Todd 4eva). Darryl just can't stop wondering if Batman's a real dad or not. And Phil has some thoughts on American foreign policy regarding serial killers. Content Warning: As is so often the case, we talk about some pretty gratuitous violence here, including suicide.

We're still talking about Stan Lee! But this time, his best work, at least according to Sly and Ryan! Some Classic Kirby Fantastic Four! Some Ditko Spider-Man! And some Buscema Silver Surfer! We cover: Fantastic Four 51 - This Man... This Monster! Amazing Spider-Man 31-33 - If This Be My Destiny! Silver Surfer 5 - And Who Shall Mourn For Him? On this episode, Ryan coins some terms and has some hot takes. Phil starts... defending comics? Sly gives his thesis on why Spider-Man rules. And Darryl blasphemes about what he enjoys.

We cover one of Darryl and Ryan's favorite runs, Mark Waid's Fantastic Four! We talk about his big Doom story, Unthinkable! Read along with Fantastic Four (Volume 3) 67-70 and 500 On this episode, Darryl takes the main role and EXPLAINS LORE, which is truly the most Unthinkable part. Sly can't tell the difference between Mark Waid and another Divisive Issues favorite writer. Phil yearns for a weapon that makes him more like Sly. Ryan really wants to marry Mark Waid, and we're not even talking about his favorite run yet.
