Saga Vol 4 [Arc Analysis #123]

We don't want to bury the lead on this one but you know we love us some Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples' SAGA. And you can see for yourself that, with this being the 4th volume we've covered, it's a series that's in our wheelhouse.
With our main characters moreso in hiding than actually on the run, can they find a way to raise Hazel while also staying safe? Prince Robot hasn't given up on searching for them, and a large chunk of the galazy now knows about them too. 
An empire only really ever falls apart from the inside, afterall.
As a bonus drinking game, anytime you hear Coke N Dank say "bury the lead" in this episode, take a shot

Infamous Iron Man Vol 1: Infamous [Arc Analysis #121]

Tony Stark is dead and Victor Von Doom takes up the mantle of Iron Man, whether anybody wants it or not.
That's the premise for Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev's Infamous Iron Man book. It's a great idea and fun to think about the possibilities of how Doom could twist his newfound identity for his own gain, so hit play and listen to what Coke N Dank have to say

All True Crime Cases #26 [Arc Analysis #120]

November 16, 1947. That is when All True Crime Cases #26 was released to the public. Who wrote it? We don't know. Who drew it? We also don't know, but we can tell you what it's about: Totally true crimes that all children should definitely read about...This comic flows through about 5 different stories, ranging from mobsters with guns to murderous circus acts and cowboys. All of which, of course, was marketed towards kids, because of course murder and crime is what junior should read about.All MIGHT be forgiven if it's actually any good, but... you'll have to listen in to find out for sure.

They left New York, regrouped, found themselves and are back in the city that never sleeps only to find... More trouble.

Deadly Class Vol 5: Carousel [Arc Analysis #118]

With this 5th volume, Rick Remender and Wes Craig's Deadly Class is now our longest running Arc Analysis saga, beating out Fraction and Aja's 4 volumes of Hawkeye. Considering that Deadly Class vol 1 was our first ever Arc Analysis episode, it seems fitting that we're here with it now.This volume is an introduction to the "new class" of characters, spinning out of the bloody, fiery end of the last volume. That means a lot of new faces, some very familiar ones, and definitely some surprises that readers may or may not love, but to know for sure, you'll have to listen here.

The Vision Vol 2: Little Less than a Beast [Arc Analysis #117]

Remember that book we did last week? The one by Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta? Ya, well we realized it is only two volumes long, so we finished it off in it's entirety, back to back. The Vision wants a life of his own, away from the hustle and bustle. He just wants a nuclear family (that he made himself), go to his 9 to 5 (the Avengers), and have completely normal (creepy) neighbours!But it isn't always that easy... Especially when you're an android burying your head in the sand of a world that misunderstands you.

The Vision Vol 1: Little More than a Man [Arc Analysis #116]

What's that you say? A machine with a family, trying to act normal in a pleasant, boring society? Pfftt, that's nor exciting! What are Tom King and Gabriel Hernandez Walta thinking writing this Marvel series? 
We'll tell ya what, folks - do not judge a book by it's cover because this is definitely not what you're expecting (probably). Whether it's good or not, well, push play and trust the us because we're never wrong.

Space Usagi: White Star Rising [Arc Analysis #113]

Usagi Yojimbo, the samurai rabbit, like you've never seen him before: in space! Talk about a fish out of water story, huh? Here at the pod, we usually love these types of things, where you pluck the hero(es) from a place of comfort and drop them into a setting that is alien to them... in this case, literally.
This is very Star Wars light, as Usagi and friends are tasked with getting codes from an overarching imperial force to save the galaxy. Sound familiar? We bet it does. But is it good? Listen in to find out

Killadelphia Vol 2: Burn Baby Burn [Arc Analysis #112]

There are a lot of vampire stories out there, but something that sets the second volume of Killadelphia: Burn Baby Burn apart from most bloodsucker tales is transparency, among other things. The police know about the vampires! They know about them and even have a branch of the department that specializes in vampire crimes.
When you take that element and add in the gritty writing, historical recreation elements, and cool cameos, you get Killadelphia. 
What happens when an organized collection of vampires decide to otherthrow the city, and they aren't worried about being discovered? Listen in if you want to find out.

Crocodile Black [Arc Analysis #111]

We all have our own descent into madness, right? Dark, murderous thoughts? Life altering childhood trauma? Ok, maybe not ALL of the above, and maybe one of those things is a little spoiler-y for this book, but we're not going to tell you which one!
Crocodile Black is a dark, twisted story about the places dark thoughts (and mental illness) can take someone. It's moody, it's trippt, it's violent and pretty depressing, but is it a good read? Hit play to find out

Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys: The Big Lie [Arc Analysis #110]

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys debuted back in 1930 and 1927, respectively. And here we are now, in 2025, reading a crossover book from 2017 for our Arc Analysis series.
Not going to lie to you here, we did not know what to expect when we opened up this book, but lets just say it was not at all this. It's a grounded, mature take on joint series of young adult adventure/mystery books. Where this story goes stretches murder, interrogations, drug deals, gangs, etc...This is a prime example of giving a chance to a title you aren't sure about: You never know how much you might like it! (editor's note: we hated it) (edit to the editor's note: that was a joke... maybe).

Wolverine (1982) [Arc Analysis #109]

It didn't ALL start here, but at the same time, it kinda did. Riding high on Wolverine's popularity from the late 70's run, that expanded and revamped a villain from a Hulk comic into a mainstay with the diverse X-Men team, Claremont took him solo. And to do this, in 1982, he teamed up with up-and-coming young artist, Frank Miller. Together they created the Japanese backdrop for Wolverine/Logan stories for decades to come.
In this 4 issue run, we get a good examination into what makes Logan tick, and how he balances being a good man and a berserker raging animal... And women. Does 'pussy get him killed', as we like to say here, on Comic Patrol? I mean, it might. But you'll have to tune in to know for sure!
