As if you couldn’t get enough Spidey talk on the silver screen The Patrol is back to discuss the most anticipated sequels in the respected spidermen franchises. We go even deeper and longer and geekier as we celebrate what works with our favourite web-slinger and what misses the mark by a daily bugle size tower.
 
We are in the Spideverse now, nu cheezes! So get ready for us to piling on more thoughts to Rami’s, Webb’s and Watt’s every growing insanity.
 
*Thwip! Thwip!*

#56.0 - The Best Big Screen Spider-Man

Spidey has been active on the silver screen over the past couple of decades. With three different Spider-verses, leads, directors, leading ladies, etc... there has been plenty of debate on which is the best and which is the worst.Today, that is decided as we examine all of the 1st movies from each Spider-verse: Raimi's, Webb's and Watt's. *web shooting sound effect*

The Amazing Spider-Man Annual: The Sinister Six [Arc Analysis #25]

Wayyy back in 1963, a monumental comic run called The Amazing Spider-Man started. A year later, it had it's very first 72-page annual that introduced a team of villains known as The Sinister Six. This is their introduction to the world, and oh boy, is it ever one to remember.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage [Bottle Cap Review]

So this movie exists.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is the long-awaited big screen debut of the crazy red symbiote Carnage, and it's PG-13... Not only that, it's also really bad from start to finish. Listen to us bitch about it within :)

Timecop [Bottle Cap Review]

There are so many movies that a lot of us don't even know are based on comic books. JCVD's Timecop being one of them! What started as a Dark Horse anthology series, only a couple years later was a timely (teehee) 90's action flick.We have lots to say about it!

Hawkeye Vol 2: Little Hits [Arc Analysis #24]

This is a Comic Patrol / Arc Analysis first! We've gone back to a previously Analyzed (heh) run and picked up where we left off with the second arc: this time it's 2012's Hawkeye Little Hits.So if you're as big of a fan of Fraction and Aja as Coke and Dank are, don't miss this one.

#55 - ‘What If‘ Ultron Ruled the World, Imagine That

The fourth Marvel/Disney + series also happens to be it's first animated one, and hoo boy is it a doozy. Unpredictable from the start, it is a Marvel series like we have never seen before, and that's pretty awesome.What if Peggy became Captain Carter instead of Steve becoming Captain America? What if T'Challa was Star Lord? What if ZOMBIES? What if you should stop reading this and just listen to the damn episode.

First Glance: DC vs Vampires #1

It's (still) Halloween time, so we are (still) being festive. And what better way to be in the spirit than with a vampire book from DC. There's not much else to say that the title doesn't already tell you: it's vampires and they're in the DC Universe.
 
It's our first glance, nice pants.

Occult Crimes Taskforce [Arc Analysis #23]

It's a comic about cops protecting Manhattan from ghostly creatures that sneak into our world through some sort of a gate, some of which terrorize the population. It has magical badges, ghost cops, angelic partners, invisible trains and a zombie swat guy. It's also written by Rosario Dawson!The problem is, it has all of that stuff, yet it's only 4 issues long... We get into it so listen along and stay frosty.

#54 - DC FanDUMB(AmountOfStuffComing)

The 2021 DC FanDome was last weekend and we recap juuuuust about everything that was announced there in this episode.From The new Batman trailer to Flash's shiny golden boots, from Aquaman's next adventures to DC's version of Pixar's Cars... We have opinions. Oh boy, do we ever have opinions.

#53 - Get Loki or Die Tryin‘

And just like that, the third Disney Plus Marvel series is wrapped, and just like the first two shows, we have plenty to say about it.Some bad, but mostly good!

#52.1 - The Shame of Alan Moore

It's been a long time coming, but we're here: our first inductee into our very own Hall of Fame for comic book writers - part 2!
We went through almost his entire catalogue of books last time, and labeled those as The Pride. This time, we delve into the 9 worst comic books of his AND the movie adaptations of some of his work, which, if you know Alan Moore, he isn't thrilled about.Soft Cheeses and New Meats, please try and enjoy: The Shame of Alan Moore.

#52.0 - The Pride of Alan Moore

It's been a long time coming, but we're here: our first inductee into our very own Hall of Fame for comic book writers.
We went through almost his entire catalogue of books, and even though our opinions differed on some of them, we were able to agree, in the end, that Mr Alan Moore belongs amongst the legends.

Brightburn [Bottle Cap Review]

What if Superman was a dick?He was still raised by a couple of country folk in a small town and was played off to be a regular boy instead of an alien with superpowers.. All that same stuff, but was just a dickhead? That's the premise of Brightburn, and it could have been so much more than it was because that is literally all this movie covers.
Bottle caps away!

Killadelphia Vol 1: Sins of the Father [Arc Analysis #19]

"We want to suck your blood."
If that's the first line that comes to mind when you think of vampires, then you're probably old as HECK.
This book, Killadelphia, takes a whole new look at what it means do be a vampire (also what it means to be a cop, whose dad was also a cop), and it is definitely an interesting one. A twisted story with incredible art, we go over it in this 19th episode of Arc Analysis.

Soviet Super Soldiers [Arc Analysis #18]

For this Arc Analysis episode, we take it back to nearly 30 years ago, when the USSR was still a thing, and multiple teams of mutants and powered up people did stuff for some sort of reason with hilarious results
There are dozens of characters in here, and the average comic book reader has only heard of about 3 of them, tops. And that's what makes this book as fun as it is.
