Episode #9: Super Happy Father’s Day/Deadpool Smorgasbord!!

This week, we got a one-two punch special;  we will discuss/debate/bicker over the Best, the Worst, and the Weirdest Fathers and Fatherly figures of comic books. You’ll find out why we think Uncle Ben is unquestionably great  while Magneto and General Ross are just plain abysmal. But wait, there’s more! We top off the show with Deadpool Appreciation Week, where we will (individually) review 3 different perspectives of the famous “Merc with a Mouth”. Is your favorite Deadpool comic/trade being reviewed? We don’t know! You’ll have to tune in and find out!

Plus, a special message to Liu Kang of “Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe,” Alex’s new favorite writer, the most perfect thing ever said in a Green Goblin voice, and a special mission for all you wonderful listeners! We’ve got all of that and more on this week’s episode!

Darkseid Minus New Gods

We’ve been really down on Final Crisis and everything, and so I’m making it up to DC by doing a whole blog post talking about what I hope becomes a new internet Meme, Darkseid Minus New Gods.

Via the guys at Metafilter I found this hilarious post from 4thLetter blogger Gavok who had this fantastic stroke of genius and like any modern day blogger decided to unbirth it onto the internet, if Mamet and Pinter had to write a play all about final crisis I would like to think it would just be this.

Episode #8 – Podcasters of Baghdad

This week, we take a loving look at Brian K. Vaughan and Niko Henrichon’s Pride of Baghdad graphic novel from Vertigo. Don’t worry, nobody got territorial. Alex has more stories about his myriad adventures on podcasts and the Columbia University campus. We explore exactly why Final Crisis should just Get The Fuck Out!, and Sam starts living up to his role of Warren Ellis devotee. Plus, don’t miss the debut of our new Cheescake Award–not to mention this week’s Masterpiece Comic Book Theatre, featuring Deadpool (along with his split personalities) and Norman Osborn! It’s all here on the Mild Mannered Podcast.

Meanwhile, Mike and Sam gnash their teeth in jealousy.
