Things got pretty interesting for Marvel Comics back around 2001. The company was mounting a return from bankruptcy and making some big moves. New imprints like Max and Marvel Adventures were created to widen the audience. Their characters were making huge amounts of money at the box office. They launched the Ultimate line and rebooted an entire universe. Everything seemed fresh and exciting. Probably one of the biggest changes to happen was in the X Office. Newly minted EIC Joe Quesada looked at the mutant line of books and saw that a real revamp was in order. Enter Grant Morrison. Teamed with artist extraordinaire Frank Quitely, Morrison would break apart the X-Men’s universe, clean out the cogs, and reassemble it all in a streamlined way that made sense for the turn of the millennium. Gone were the technicolor spandex and mile long team rosters, substituted with real world black leather body armor and a core cast of characters. This is a run of comics that is still effecting things to this day, and it is the focus of this week’s episode.

This episode the guys jump right into the conversation as they talk about the current crop of Vertigo comics and ponder the future of DC’s creator owned line. From there the conversation winds towards The Walking Dead season finale and some other miscellaneous thoughts. Then, 29 minutes in, the guys get to the meat of this week’s talk: The Goon. For over ten years now, Eric Powell has been quietly churning out some of the best comics money can buy. Anything that you love about comics, The Goon has in spades. From humor to horror, levity to drama, character study to monster fights, Powell has the writing chops to do it all. And then there’s the art. This book has such a variety of style and technique that words can’t really do it justice. Needless to say, they’re big fans over at TNI HQ. After that, Mike talks the joys of cheap digital comics and his newly found love of Viz’s Shonen Jump. Plus, Vaughan and Martin’s Private Eye, The Devastator quarterly magazine and lots, lots more!
