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!

Good morrow! Back at it again with my cohost/husband, Adam! He's here this week to talk Demon Slayer (manga), Amazing Spider-Man (ASM), The Flash (DCU) trailer, and more!
Link to the podcast notes on my ad-free website, if you want to read them to follow along: http://sensationalshegeek.weebly.com/full-archive/ep94-ivthe-chariot-zeb-wells-spider-manpaul-fcbd-preview-may-comic-look-ahead-demon-slayer-is-manga-of-the-week
This week's Tarot Lessons 00:04:06 covers card #6 of the Major Arcana, the Chariot! We're talking some light(er than last week) history, symbolism, meaning, and pop culture references!
Our Manga of the Week 00:18:48 is none other than Demon Slayer! One of the most popular series' of this era, Adam has collected and read the entire manga, so he's pleased to share it with you with his thoughts! Followed by brief points of Manga News 00:26:09. For a full list of manga releases coming in this month of May, check out the Otaku Calendar site for May: https://otakucalendar.com/Calendar/2023/5
As it's the first pod of the new month, technically, I have quite some extensive comic book previews. The comic book segments start 00:28:17 with covering some Recent Reads, including the Powergirl Action Comics B-Story, end of the arc for Grim, Hairball, Harley Quinn, the Ambassadors, the final issue of Lovesick, and more Clea in Doctor Strange. PLEASE be sure to check out her podcast special I did for her last year if you want to know anything additional about her character--I'm the Resident Clea Pro!
Comic Book News 00:42:11 has two small upcoming series announcements and a note on the ending of the Captain Marvel series, before I let Adam go off about the current Zeb Wells-run Amazing Spider-Man series, AKA Amazing-Cuck-Man, AKA Amazing Paul, AKA Wells Cuck Fantasy, AKA---we could go on. Nothing makes sense.
But then there's still MAY comic series/one-shot kick-offs 00:55:19; JULY BIG-2 Highlights (from solicits); a preview for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023 (Sat. May 6th!) 01:02:48; and finally, New Comics Next Week (5/3/2023) 1:07:39.
Which leaves us with the TV/MOVIES 01:09:47 segment. After some brief notes on the current spring 2023 anime and live-action shows, we're talking News and Announcements 1:11:44, which covers Grant Morrison's legendary Titans cameo, plus excitement about season 2 of Strange New Worlds! I'm currently making Adam rewatch the first with me.
The only Trailer 01:16:36 to speak of this week was that additional Flash trailer, for which Adam and I have WIDLY different takes! Who do you agree with more?!?
Finally, Anime News 1:22:34 has just a few points of things to look forward to later this year and beyond.
That's it for this week, and thank you all for tuning in! Please feel free to join our discord (below) to talk about whatever you want--geek-related or otherwise! And we'll see you next week :)
