Going along with my weekly comics and geek culture blog, a new podcast to talk about all things comics industry, from a female perspective. NEW EPISODES WEEKLY! Check in Mondays for Comic Book Culture and News, comics in other media and pop culture news, and New Comic Release Discussions from that week! If it has to do with comic books, I’ll cover it here. Special Edition Podcast Episodes are uploaded at least monthly, covering comics history, character backgrounds, MCU and DCEU discussions, and whatever else strikes mine and the audiences fancies. Topics discussed tend to include ideals of social justice, representation in all media, and queer topics, so don’t be surprised! This podcast comes from a progressive queer woman’s perspective. Language is clean unless I get too excited. Come get ”sweaty” about nerdy stuff with me!

Tuesday Jul 12, 2022
This is such a fun week for comics and comic media, with movie premiers, show finales, brilliant independent comic book series', and a cautious sense of excitement for next week's big (and hopefully not as chaotic as Anime Expo) San Diego Comic Con!
As usual we kick it off this week with the News (0:04:38), which includes Echo (Disney+)Show updates, a new Punchline (DC) comics series, the RWBY/Justice League animated movie, leaks for both Loki Season 2 and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, a director for the fourth Captain America movie, and some light news on what to expect at San Diego Comic Con 2022--which we'll preface more in-depth on the next episode!
Last week's Comic Book Picks (0:21:22) was actually super DC-Heavy, for once, with no Marvel comics on my list at all! My picks of the week would be Astronaut Down #2 (Aftershock), Liam Sharp's Starhenge #1 (Image), and Poison Ivy #2 (DC); I continue to adore Pamela Isley, and refuse to see her as the bad guy. The two indies of that trio are wildly creative, and I honestly can't recommend them enough. We're in what I don't hesitate to call a Golden Era of Indie(ish) Comics!
This week's Comic Book Pulls (0:36:04), in reverse, is absent of DC for my list, but includes some seriously heavy duty, amazing variant covers coming from Marvel--be sure to check out all the available covers of this week's New Mutants, A.X.E.: Eve of Judgment, X-Men: Hellfire Gala, Captain Marvel, and Immortal X-Men. Some of my favorite comic artists are included among those stunners, plus one truly awesome homage variant! And that's not even to mention the many incredible indie/creator owned comics premiering and continuing this week, as well. Remember what I just said about a Golden Age of Indies? Mhmm.
Getting into other media, coverage of Ms Marvel (Disney+)episode 5 (0:49:07), titled Time and Again, includes theories about the finale, carefully hopeful expectations, and of course, all the comic book references from the penultimate episode.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode 10 (0:58:43), titled A Quality of Mercy, was a fantastic finale for the show's first season, giving us time travel, life lessons, Original Series references, and a cocky young James Tiberius Kirk! I don't know when season 2 arrives, but I am SO ready!
Finally, of course I'm including my Thor: Love and Thunder Spoiler Free Review (1:11:05) in this episode, but be warned, because it's quite short, and immediately followed by the Spoiler Review! I had a lot of fun making this one, because it includes comic book references, Norse mythology, Easter eggs, connections to the greater MCU, the music, the end credits scenes explained, and theorizing for the future of the characters!
As promised, the Love and Thunder basic plot overview: https://www.ign.com/articles/thor-love-thunder-ending-explained-post-credits-scene
The Collider article on the movie's music: https://collider.com/thor-love-and-thunder-guns-n-roses-influence/
Make sure you're back next week for coverage on the Ms Marvel finale, the new comic book picks and pulls for the week, a Hellfire Gala wrap-up for Marvel, pre-SDCC (July 21-24), and maybe even October's big-two comic book solicitation! Till then, stay hydrated, do some light stretches in the morning, and support your local comic shops!
