Cape Town Community Podcast - Ep. 029 - "Run, Reed Richards, Run!”

What’s happening with our blockbuster events?!? Last week we dissed Flashpoint and this week—well, you’ll have to listen now won’t you? There is a lot of love to have for the Bat-family of books this week as some DC storylines, and titles, come to a close. Of course we take time to try to figure out what is going on with Fantastic Four #600 and why Reed Richards and team don’t choose a more pragmatic way to race into action!

Cape Town Extra: "Transformers: The Movie" Review

In this Special Edition episode, Don and Jerry review the 1986 Transformers the Movie! Jerry had seen the film a million times while Don missed it the summer it was released.

Cape Town Community Podcast - Ep. 023 - "Green Lantern Loves His Chipotle Bacon Ranch Sub”

DC has us itching to head straight to Subway after a series of ads for the fast-food giant have integrated their way into our books. After some discussion about other ways to use DC character to advertise delicious foot long sammies, we head right to the reviews. And there are a lot of excellent reads this week. Of course, we had to open with the finale to Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley’s “Death of Spider-Man” storyline. We also recommend a couple of titles that might have flown beneath your radar.

Don, Jerry and Max are all on hand for a round table discussion regarding all DC Comics’ latest creative team announcements for their line-wide September relaunch.

Max Beckman is filling in for out nineteenth episode in which we spend much of our times discussing this week’s “War of the Green Lantern” books, Nick Spencer “Fear Itself” crossovers, and Wolverine titles.  While we are getting a kick out of the Green Lantern titles, we did have some tough-love for DC this week.

Cape Town Community Podcast - Ep. 017 - "Superman Hearts America Again”

After an absence of DC books in last week’s episode, we found several titles that we wanted to discuss from the publisher. While we didn’t agree on the quality of all the books, we couldn’t be happier with this week’s Bat-books. You might think that the biggest surprise of the week was the last page of Flashpoint, but no—it was Superman’s re-allegiance with the U.S. of A.
