This week, we talk about Rook: Exodus — the inspiring story of a man who survived the collapse of society... just so society could leave him behind again.

Rook used to be a farmer. Now he's a Warden with a helmet, a bird army, and absolutely no reason to get out of bed. His planet is dying. His family is gone. And the only thing he's saving is face — barely.

It’s the classic tale of corporate abandonment, planetary doom, and one guy who keeps showing up to work like it’s going to change something.

Rook didn’t ask for this life. But somehow, he still deserves it.

Welcome to Hyde Street, the only neighborhood where your worst decisions don’t just haunt you—they set up shop, invite their friends, and throw loud parties you can’t escape.

On this episode of The Comic Book Block, we tear into Geoff Johns’ Hyde Street—a ghostly purgatory full of broken promises, bad deals, and emotional damage that comes with zero refunds. Think of it as a family reunion where everyone’s dead, nobody’s forgiven, and the rent is paid in regret.

Buckle up, because on Hyde Street, the past isn’t just a story—it’s your permanent address.

This week on The Comic Book Block Podcast, we’re breaking down Redcoat—the man, the myth, the walking colonial fever dream.

He’s got a musket, centuries of emotional damage, and one jacket that’s committed to the bit harder than any cosplayer you’ve ever met.

Man’s been in essential moments throughout history, and still got the nerve to walk through a modern city lookin’ like he just challenged Paul Revere to a duel.

In this episode:

We break down Redcoat’s origin story: part horror, part history lesson, all red flag.

The difference between being iconic... and just being stuck

And the psychology of a man who is immortal but refuses to update his wardrobe

He’s not a hero. He’s not a villain.

He’s just what happens when rage, guilt, and bad fashion are given infinite time to fester.

Warning: comic spoilers, emotional baggage, and aggressive shade toward 18th-century outerwear ahead.
