  • 254 - Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees + Ultimates #1
    Oct 29 2025

    It's been a little while since we did a non-superhero indie comic, so we're reading about some cute animals living in a cute animal town where everyone knows everyone and they're all happy... until the murders start happening.

    It's Patrick Horvath's Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, and it's simultaneously adorable and gruesome.

    We're taking a look at the first volume to see how apt the Dexter comparisons are.

    Then, we're starting a new long read with The Ultimates #1, in which our alternative universe Avengers team... is mostly absent.

    Next Time: Silver Surfer (2014) #1-5 by Dan Slott & Mike Allred!

  • 253 - Swamp Thing by Alan Moore, Vol. 6
    Oct 10 2025

    We're finally at the end of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing! When we last left him, he was stuck in space on an alien planet, making the best of his situation with whatever plants he could find.

    Will he ever make it back to Earth to see Abigail? Or will he just putz around with Adam Strange and Hawkgirl for a while?

    We'll find out in issues 57-64!

    Next Time: We continue spooky season with "Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees" by Patrick Horvath! Plus we start our next long-read with "The Ultimates #1"

  • 252 - X-Factor by Peter David: The 2000s Run + Thunderbolts #25
    Sep 30 2025

    We loved Peter David's X-Factor so much last time, so we're going back in for more! Except this time we're taking a look at his 2005 reboot of the title, coming hot off the heels of House of M and Decimation.

    We've still got Multiple Man struggling with controlling his dupes, but now we've got depowered mutants and an inexplicably omnipotent little girl to deal with.

    Then we finish up our long read of Thunderbolts with #25, in which they take down 25 supervillains and we see who's behind the Crimson Cowl.

    Next Time: We finish up Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run with Volume 6 (Issues 57-64)!
