Dark Horse continues their ‘In the News’ streak alive by acquiring the rights to maybe the greatest cult film in the last fifty years, lots of moving and shaking on the indies editorial staffs, how Comixology Originals can keep you ahead of the curve, on the heels of the announcement of another Spawn movie, how many first appearances are we up to now, and in the Rob Watch, yet another relationship is dissolved. What we read this week, what we’re looking forward to coming out this week, the semifinals of the Silver Standard see two of the lamest of the lame Bat villains battle to make it to the next round, the latest episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Star Wars: Andor and so much more!

What we read last with no spoilers for Batman vs. Robin and more love for Do A Powerbomb, what we’re looking forward to coming out this week, the semifinals of the Silver Standard continues as a Bat villain who lost his only claim to fame takes on a music themed Spidey villain not good enough to take on the similar music themed hero, the latest episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Stargirl and more!

There are recent departures from a few publishers that gets Joe and Todd off topic about the late 90’s and early 00’s time of bombastic editors. We talk about what we read last week, which leads to Joe and Todd talking about what is safe and not safe for spoiler talk and how far into a limited series is a point of no return. A first in the Silver Standard as two Spider-Man villains meet up in the second round. then the latest episode Obi-Wan Kenobi and the three episode return of season 3 of the Boys.

A twenty year plus staple at Marvel leaves and we speculate where and with whom they’ll work with. What we read last week, with speculation on what’s REALLY going on in Punisher, what we’re looking forward to next week, round two of the Silver Standard rolls on with a Bat villain who had something iconic retconned away from him taking on a dark horse Spider-foe from round one, lots of fun at the expense of the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi and much more!

Lots of news this week (no movies or TV!) like Conan leaving Marvel again, more Human Target, Neil Gaiman does Spider-Man and George Perez is remembered the way he wanted. What we read last week, what we’re looking forward to this week and one last impassioned pitch for Kyle Starks new title in shops this week! Plus, the final first round match up in the Silver Standard tournament pitting the inspiration for WWF’s Adam Bomb against an idea liberally borrowed from a Daffy Duck cartoon 20 years before. And more!
