Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 35: Crimson Avenger #1 (1988)
Wednesday May 13, 2020
Wednesday May 13, 2020
Welcome back!
Continuing our look at some lesser-discussed Weird Comics History, today we're going to discuss the 1988 Crimson Avenger mini-series from DC Comics... with a particular focus on why you're unlikely to see it reprinted or made available digitally any time soon.
Also, how a story behind the story led to a seemingly innocent Cap's Hobby Hints strip in the pages of Christmas With the Superheroes #1 (1988)... and what it was actually (in part) referring to!
Fair Warning: This episode concerns some darker and more salacious material than usual...

Morituri Mondays, Episode 19 - Strikeforce: Morituri #19 (6/88)
Monday May 11, 2020
Monday May 11, 2020
Welcome, friends... to the penultimate issue of the Peter B. Gillis/Brent Anderson run of Strikeforce: Morituri. As this Sword of Damocles hangs over your humbles hosts' heads... we will endeavor as ever... to keep our respective chins up!
In today's issue, the Strikeforce gets its first actual field leader in quite some time... and, it's probably not who you're expecting (if, in fact, you're expecting anybody at all!). Today's mission... a trip to the Serengeti, not all of our recruits will make it home from this one! Also: Ever wonder what happened to Aline? Well, we're about to find out! Also, what was up with Will last issue... and some of the cryptic things he said? Yep, most'a that's here too!
Plus: Normal nonsense... including memories of taping everything we could off television, being taught by one of The Beatles to eat our pizza "crust first", Bert Convy's sometimes 'fro, comic book pet-peeves, and finally a decent Pro-File when editor, Jim Salicrup takes the wheel!
All'at and much, much more!

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 34: Leonard the Duck??? (1996)
Thursday May 07, 2020
Thursday May 07, 2020
Welcome friends, to the long-awaited... well, long "in the works" 34th Episode of Chris is on Infinite Earths!
After a few minutes of "housekeeping", we dive into some Weird Comics History, in the form of the Great Ducknapping of 1996! We discuss the plot hatched by Steve Gerber and Erik Larsen to swipe Howard the Duck from Marvel Comics... and, in so doing, check out Spider-Man Team-Up #5 from Marvel, Savage Dragon/Destroyer Duck #1 from Image, and... in order to tie it all in with the blog's DC-Only mandate, the Nevada short story from Vertigo Winter's Edge #2 (1999).
In addition, we'll talk about some of the fall-out from this stunt via some snippets of Sean Howe's Marvel: The Untold Story... as well as consider its unmet potential insofar as opening up some much-needed discussion in the comics industry. It's a story of intrigue, petulance, and collateral damage... you won't wanna miss it!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 18 - Strikeforce: Morituri #18 (5/88)
Monday May 04, 2020
Monday May 04, 2020
Welcome back, Recruits!
This time out, our main man Will Deguchi takes center stage. He's a changed man since his run-in with the Morituri Monsters, and appears to have immeasurably more (and less) control over his mental projection powers. What could it mean to a team with a death sentence, when one of their own might just know who's next to perish? Many questions are raised in this one, really setting the stage for the next chapter(s) in the (truncated) lives of our heroes!
Also: The faaaaar-out Pro-File of Michael Higgins, our pitch for the Strikeforce: Morituri Saturday Morning cartoon series, a discussion on getting scammed over the mail, and much, much more! It's the most fun you can legally have on a Monday, please consider joining us for the ride!

From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast, Episode 2 - November, 1991
Saturday May 02, 2020
Saturday May 02, 2020
Welcome back, X-Perts... to the second episode of FROM CLAREMONT TO CLAREMONT: AN X-MEN PODCAST!
For our "difficult second album", we're looking at everything X with a November, 1991 cover-date! We'll be meeting the man called Bishop, learning about what Moira MacTaggert did to Magneto during his babyhood, learning the fate(s) of Jamie Madrox, finding out who blew up the Excalibur bathroom, bidding a certain Toddster adieu from Marvel Comics... and much, much more! It's another long one, we hope you packed a lunch (and dinner)!
Also: All ten of your hosts will be put through the grueling "Pod-File" questionnaire... will any of them survive the experience? Well, yeah... after all, it's just a bunch of silly questions.
We hope you enjoy!
