  • #6 - Ninja Slayer
    Sep 30 2025

    We promised Ninja Gaiden, but sadly could not deliver...However, we have quite literally the next best vibe! This month/This episode, we cover Ninja Slayer Kills, written by Koutarou Sekine, created by Bradley Bond and Phillip 'Ninja' Morzez. An action-packed, Ninja meets Cyberpunk, story of vengeance!

    We also resolved some of the standing items from the last episode, talked smack about each other, and drank the night away. We appreciate any and all who left stuff to follow up on. Cheers!

    Here are the deets -

  • #5 - God of War: Fallen God
    Aug 28 2025

    This month, we take on another Titan of a name - Kratos. That's right! God of War! Specifically, God of War: Fallen God by Chris Roberson (Art by Tony Parker)

    A little bit of a spoiler, this review - much like the book of choice - was fairly short, but we made sure to fill in the gaps with plenty of hot takes and content. We might catch a bit of heat this time, but feel free to let us know your thoughts in the comment section!

    Spirit of the month was, unfortunately, generated by AI. Try to do better than we did lol

  • #4 - Doctor Doom: Books of Doom
    Aug 1 2025

    Another month, another episode...Or I guess in this case, this month equals a second episode? Remember guys, we do this because we love you, not because we were late in any way, shape, or form.

    Anyway, brace yourselves and prepare to bow to the might of Doom! Victor Von Doom, ruler, scientist, sorcerer - powerful beyond all means! 'Even the Gods fall before Doom!'

    This month, we take on Doctor Doom: Books of Doom (issues 1-6). The complete origin story of one of the mightiest super villains to date. All in honor of the upcoming Fantastic 4 reboot.

    https://www.amazon.com/DOCTOR-DOOM-BOOKS-Ed-Brubaker/dp/1302964739

    Note: This was also our first live episode, so we apologize for any pets that may have wanted to join in during the recording!

    Spirit of the Month:

    Vodka. Vodka for Victor Von Doom. Really, anything with Vodka. Hate me later. Cheers!

  • #3 - Head Lopper: The Island or A Plague of Beasts
    Jul 18 2025

    Sorry y'all! We are aware of how late this one is, but June was not a kind month for us. From losses to scheduling conflicts to unexpected health issues, we've all been on the constant grind. But the studio perseveres, the podcast continues, and our spirits are raised high. Welcome back and enjoy!

    This month we read, reviewed, and relished: Head Lopper: The Island or A Plague of Beasts by Andrew MaClean. An awesome action/adventure comic (collection) with incredible art and a tendency to reel you in.

  • #1 - Something is Killing the Children
    Apr 30 2025

    2025 opened up some new doors, including our grand re-launch. We've done it before, and to be fair, we'll probably do it once more, but our journey continues with the first episode of Novel Spirits (previously known as The Comixology Club, and Comics, Comrades, and Cocktails).
    A new name, with new faces, and new themes. But whether you're a long-time fan or just joining us for the first time, it's time to grab a drink, take a seat, and join us as we discuss the book of the month!

    This month - Vol. 1 of Something is Killing the Children by James Tynion, Werther Delle'edra, and Miguel Muerto

    https://www.amazon.com/Something-Killing-Children-Vol-1/dp/1684155584/ref=sr_1_3?crid=O7OV9S83IL0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UYpqPkZg0OTaW4tjn3MmWKMHd8PPnJel45BPU1NXQZR9QLguSVrhOf9Lf8fspsH1fGBZXEzl8dN_DaKFEUBWmLwB4Re6aXfMyunl5fLyHwWT37rGigMjQw3UD6jlAbpMA13JAcHTZvgCMjvID9LoP6WBZSBgUdHywHy6m6G0_lRw3J1-s7Lvhb2TlyLXRkeI51VqMKoISzIaIDz2FxMWX4UGo4QHUJtjh_081I2VW3w.BqjcMroFYWRtNzVvbIlP1KqCcPc7NY3_u8OcIyhvPqk&dib_tag=se&keywords=something+is+killing+the+children&qid=1745872585&sprefix=something+is+kil%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-3

  • #67: Friday (Books Two & Three)
    Jan 1 2025

    2024 is coming to a close and with it the boys are bringing you another stacked episode. It’s the grand finale of our Year of the Guest! Snoop, Higgins, and Bethany Tilson crack open Books 2 & 3 of Friday by Ed Brubaker, Marcos Martin, and Muntsa Vicente. Think mystery, heartbreak, and enough snowy small-town drama to fill a detective’s notebook.

    Oh, and heads up—it’s Snoop’s final episode, so expect laughs, maybe a tear (or two), and a send-off worthy of a guy on the internet who did a comic book podcast. Pretty big deal right?

    One last ride. One epic discussion. One final issue. Now hit play already and let’s close out the year with a bang! Cue dramatic fade-out…

  • #66: Watchmen
    Dec 31 2024

    Who watches the Watchmen? Well, this week, it’s Snoop, Higgins, and their special guest, Z.B. Steele! The trio dives headfirst into Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' legendary graphic novel, Watchmen—a comic so iconic it basically broke the superhero mold (and then set it on fire).

    With doomsday clocks ticking away and zero hour quickly approaching, the boys unpack big themes, unforgettable characters, and the endless layers this timeless classic has to offer. We're bringing sharp insights, bold takes, and just the right amount of chaos to keep things interesting. It's true and all so fresh. Don't ask anyone to tell you otherwise. Seriously. Don't.

    Now grab your trench coat and set your clocks—this is one episode you don’t want to miss. The end is nigh… or at least the end of this description is.

    Add some views to Z.B. Steele's website and check out the cool stuff he's up to!
