Panel by Panel Episode 21

Welcome to Panel by Panel!

Episode 21. It's our 2012 year and review show. So I picked one of my favorite pics of the year, from the X-Men vs Avengers kerfuffle issue #1. We talk our favorites and worst books of the year.

We're joined by Special Guest Thunder.

Marvel-ous Reviews

Since we are on break for Thanksgiving, we here at Panel by Panel (Just me mostly) will be doing something a little special. Welcome to Marvel-ous Reviews.

Marvel gets very little love on our podcast. We admit that. Most of this comes from that: Dan is an avid Batman fan, James got into comics with the new 52, and Garrett is...well Garrett is just Garrett. So for our Thanksgiving away, let's look at a few of the Marvel Books that came out on 11/21/2012. These are quick reviews, lacking any spoilers, and a quick rating for each.

Panel by Panel Episode 20

Welcome to Panel by Panel!

Episode 20. Dan rejoins us and we discuss Death of the Family. As well as other stories, including Thor and Phantom Stranger. As well as Previews and their Spoilers.

Late Episode 19

First off, I'd like to thank our loyal listeners for waiting despite the delay. Halloween has us behind here, and technical gremlins never help.

Dan couldn't join us this week, so it's just Garrett and James. Marvel is discussed, and talking about some of our favorite stories. Tune in next time for the Hallow's eve special where we talk about our favorite horror stories. We're still accepting feed back for that.

A Call to Haunt

Welcome to Panel by Panel. Later this month for  Halloween we will be doing a horror special. Won't you join us?

So all you trick and treaters out there come join us with your own favorite horror comics. We'll read them on air and we'll have ghoulish good time.

I am the Law

I am not the most imaginative person. For those who wonder why I went with the most obvious joke for the title, and one you may no doubt have seen a dozen and a half times over by now. So let's continue.

Dredd 3D: Non Spoiler review. See it. R action flick that makes you want to see more.

Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man #8

Aw, welcome to Amazing Spider-Man #8. Pointlessness of pointlessness. Pete's plans of world domination come to fruition as he and Flash get in a boxing match. Also, a robot menace.

Also a back up starring Johnny Storm. Need I explain more?

Why do we need a tribute to teenagers?

Pulls 08/22/2012

Another week comes, another week goes, and we have a new stack of pretty pictures and words. This fourth week is quickly becoming that hodgepodge of left overs week. Weeks one and two are primarily the Dark and Vertigo books. Week three gets to be the Green Lantern week. And this week we get my regulars of Justice League Dark, All-Star Western, and New Guardians.

There is some Spider-Man involved, but issue 692 is going to get a special, since it gets to be the uber expensive 50th anniversary issue.

Oh, and the final issue of Deadpool Kills the Universe. Bloody hell.

And remember, spoiler free zone. Well, except for the rant at the end, I just don't care anymore about keeping that one clean.

Amazing Reads: 2 for .1 Special

Aw, Marvel. How much you want to drive every penny I may or may not have into your pocket. It's anniversary Time. See, not only is it Spidey's 50th year since Amazing #15. It's the one month anniversary for Amazing Reads (Hey, I'm trying here.) So For this month, Marvel is deciding to give us a bunch of point 1s, and point 2s...I don't know, lets just roll with it. Let's look into the first part of their Annivesary Special, The "relaunch" of Peter Parker Spider-Man and The Sensational Spider-Man.

Amazing Reads: Strange Tales Annual #2

Welcome to the first non Spider-Man title for this series. Well, unless you count the Daredevil one, but I don't really because that was before I figured on just doing separate reviews for modern comics. Back to topic though. Spider-Man and the Human Torch. My favorite, and least favorite Marvel characters...yay...This is going to be a long one, I can tell.

Don't worry, not 72 pages for this reading.

Modern Reviews: Hawkeye #1

Well, I have been treated to something spectacular this weekend. I found this comic. Hawkeye has had many series in the past, most were limited, or team books. We shall see if you last longer. But let's dive into Hawkeye #1.

Never have I felt purple looked more manly.

Rotworld: Prequel

Rotworld. The mega cross over book of the year. Sure you can have your Court of Owls. Your Avengers vs X-Men. But none shall hold a candle to Rotworld, the Animal Man and Swamp Thing Cross over. (Featuring other books in the Dark family.)

For two reasons. One, every book that will be apart of this cross over will be good. (I'm looking at you Red Hood. And you...Avengers vs X-Men.) And two, more than two issues are written by Scott Snyder. Let us dive into Rotworld Prequel.

This is spoiler heavy, so If you want to read them, do not read this. I can't recommend these two enough, and they aren't bad jumping on points for new readers to either of these series.

Amazing Reads: Amazing Spider-Man #1

Alright, so we dive into the second outing of this strange experiment that will ultimately end in my complete and total break down. At least I'm already half way there.

Hello again dear readers, James here for a second edition of Amazing Reads. This time it's Amazing Spider-Man #1. You remember that one don't you, it has stuff, and stuff happens. Okay, so it's not important in the grand scheme of things, it isn't his origin and he doesn't do anything spectacular (I hate myself sometimes) but it is the first of his solo run, and his second appearance.

Yes, caption, your cover already implied that.

Panel by Panel Episode 12

Welcome to Episode 12!

We have a bit of a format change up, we shorter, and hopefully have this thing running smoothly. Hopefully.

We discuss shortly the return of Joker in the batbooks, and much longer on Marvel NOW.

Owls' Special

A note on the our Owls' Special. First it will take a bit to come out, because of it's nature, we wish to spend some time editing it. It will be a long episode, thanks to roughly 14 books we will be talking about.

Also, as far as books that may have come out this week, like Ravengers #1. We will discuss them next week. Sorry for the delay on those.

Panel by Panel Episode 9

We're back, in a new room. Hopefully with better acoustics.
So this week:
Batman inc.
Aquaman
New Guardians
Teen Titans
Justice League Dark
I, Vampire

Event Fever
We mock the second vs book.

DC Families Review: The Dark

A few things to get out of the way. First off, for those who don’t know, DC has broken their books up into separate families. And over the course of the next few weeks I, James, plan on doing quick reviews of each family and their books, how their stories are going, what I hope to see, that type of things. I am also hoping to get Dan and Garrett to do this as well and get their opinions on their favorite/least favorite families. So let’s kick this off with my favorite, THE DARK.

For any regulars out there you may have heard that my picks of the week aren’t books we talk about on the show, for some, I’m the only one reading them, others, well, just isn’t brought up for time’s sake. But I am a huge fan of THE DARK.  A quick rundown of the books: Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Justice League Dark, Demon Knights, I Vampire, Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., and Demon Knights. (Recent addiction Dial H, though we won’t cover that for the moment.)

Panel by Panel Episode 7

Welcome to Episode 7 of Panel by Panel
This week we talk about
Green Lantern: With lecture by Garrett
The Culling (Superboy and Legion Lost)
Suicide Squad and Resurrection Man
Grifter
Scarlet Spider
Uncanny X-Force

Event Tie-Ins.

Pull List: May 9 2012

So I haven't done this in a few weeks, partly because I've had a whole bunch of things on my mind, and partly because our newest host gets comics at a different time than I and Dan do, and I felt odd not getting him involved.
This week, I've decided to screw that. You may also note this is up early. I know what I'm getting, I know what Dan is getting. And I will make shit up for Garrett. If anything really cool comes out, I'll make an addendum.
The red highlight is what we got that was not apart of this original list. I apologize to Demon Knights. Not to the tie ins.

Pandora! I found her.

So quick update, because We forgot to look for Pandora on the release of the second wave. So we didn't have her in our podcast. Here she is

G.I. Combat

Dial-H

World's Finest
