House to Astonish Episode 220 - Crow, Do My Taxes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A tidy little hour of comicsy nattering for you this time, as Al and Paul discuss Marvel/Star Wars: Hope Assembles , Fugitive X-Force, Origin III, The Snail and the extensions of Fury of Firestorm and Deadman , and review Fixation and The Forever Home . I say I say I say, my Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe has no nose. How does it smell? It does not, it is a conceptual feature of this podcast.
House to Astonish Presents: The Lightning Round Episode 32 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New volume, new team, new episode, as Paul and Al look at 2005's New Thunderbolts issues 1-3, and Mach IV assembles a wonky squad of screw-ups to take on one of Marvel's classic Barons (so what else is new?). There's also the clunk of victory, the burger van outside TBolts HQ and the hitherto-unsung villainy of Portugal.
House to Astonish Episode 219 - Absolut Batman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tick tock, it's podcast o'clock, as Paul and Al talk about the Midnight line's rescheduling, Alien v X-Men , the Absolute Batman animated series, the upcoming new volumes of Doom Patrol , Teen Titans and Legion of Super-Heroes , Crimes Against Nature, Bride of Frankenstein , and You'll Never Leave This Place Alive, as well as reviewing 100 Bullets: US of Anger and Iron Man . What if The Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe was one of us? Just a slob like one of us?
