Some of My Friends Read Comics 039 – All-New Ghost Rider

somfrc039

This week we read another fairly recent comic, All-New Ghost Rider 1-5 from 2014, because it introduced a new version of the Ghost Rider character that they’ve been using for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show this season.

No more flaming skeleton on a bike, now he’s a flaming skeleton in a hot rod! Cooooool. So what’s so great about this new Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider? Join us as we try to figure it out!

Did Tom Hanks do his best work under Clinton, Bush, or Obama?  When was Green Day most successful?  Was Will Smith better off before the pre-Willennium days?

Some of My Friends Read Comics 037 – Justice League International

somfrc037

This week, we go back to the late 1980s — a time when most comics were trying to imitate that Frank Miller & Alan Moore were bringing with Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen.

Cue JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL!

Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis attempt to re-form DC’s flagship book as a humorous, light-hearted funny book. Is it successful?  Help us decide as we read JLI 7-13!

All My Friends Are Right Here 071 – Now, That’s What I Called Music, Vol. 7

amfarh-071
This week we’re going back to a much simpler time: summer 2001. The guys delve into Now Vol. 7, the end of the innocence.

They’ll review each and every track (some in more depth than others) and draft their favorite to accurately judge the songs’ merits. Other topics include: dressage, splodging, dissing people on the internet, and quakers.

Some of My Friends Read Comics 036 – Ruse by Mark Waid

somfrc036

It’s about time we did another non-superhero book. This time we jump to the Crossgen universe (yes, they had a universe!) to read Ruse by one of our favorites writers, Mark Waid.

It’s a Sherlock Holmes story, but if it focused more on a female Watson who uses time-stop magic that Sherlock doesn’t know about.

Don’t worry, it’ll all make sense. Join us for Ruse 1-5!
