Comic Book Showcase - Supergirl Pilot
We watched the pilot for Supergirl. We watched it ages ago, because it leaked ages ago, but finally the episode has aired, so we decided to air our discussion about it in this week's Comic Book Showcase!
We talked a lot about the tone of the show, the characterizations, and the decision not to keep Supergirl's identity a complete secret from her friends and family. Overall, our view of the show was positive!
What did you think of the episode? Are you going to stick with the show and see where it goes?
And, just in case you missed them, we also did episodes on the Agents of Shield Season 3 Premiere, and interviewed Steve Ditko scholar Zack Kruse on the influence that the artist has had over decades of work. Check them both out!
Let us know what y…
Comic Book Showcase: Episode 26 - Gotham S2E01 - Damned If You Do
Finally, a brand-spankin' new episode of the Comic Book Showcase, recorded within recent memory!
And what better way to kick off the second "season" of Comic Book Showcase than with an episode reviewing the first episode of Season 2 of Gotham?
We talk about the new direction the show is taking, into a more serialized format, the character arcs as we see them, and our general likes and dislikes about what was and was not improved over the first season.

Comic Book Showcase - Episode 25: New 52 Pick-Up
This video was recorded in February of 2015, and is one of the videos from the period where we filmed a lot, but didn't post anything. So, bear that in mind when you watch this new episode of the Comic Book Showcase!
When DC Announced that it was dropping the "New 52" in favour of the "DC You!" branding, we decided to talk about what that meant for the comics they'd be producing. We assumed at the time that it would have something to do with the events of Convergence, but we also weren't sure what it meant for the New 52 continuity in general, considering that none of the promised new #1s had come out at the time.
So we talked about what we expected to see and what we hoped we'd see.
Now that Convergence is over and we've seen the new books (a…
Comic Book Showcase - Episode 24: A Cracked Rearview of 2014
We took a long break. We filmed a bunch of episodes, but didn't post them for... reasons. So, here, finally, is the last episode of our first run of Comic Book Showcase. This time, we have a look back at the year of 2014 in comics and comic fandom.
Topics include Batman Eternal, Green Lantern, Moon Knight, Afterlife with Archie and more.
What did you think was the best of 2014... 9 months on...?

Comic Book Showcase - Episode 23: Arrow Midseason Finale
In this episode of the Comic Book Showcase we talk about the mid-season finale of Season 3 of Arrow; "The Climb". There were a lot of big reveals in the episode, and we make some predictions about what effects those revelations will have on the show when it returns.
What will the role of the Atom be? What will become of Thea Queen? How do you do a show called "Arrow" when the titular character has apparently been killed?
