This week Will and Zach are discussing Black Hole Comics recently delivered Kickstarter project - A Cold, Dark Universe!A Cold, Dark Universe is a sci-fi anthology that contains eight stories by seven different creators, billed as "a comic anthology about space, love, and our connection to those around us". Will and Zach are running through their thoughts on all eight stories, with some weird tangents as you've probably come to expect. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ahead of his Kickstarter campaign for The OZ #2, Angela is catching up with writer David Pepose to discuss the first issue of the series and what we can expect going forward!

It's the return of Manchester Comic Book Club tie-ins! This week Will and I are discussing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Reborn, Volume 1: From The Ashes by Sophie Campbell!

We're rounding up some of July's indie comics! We're discussing Bermuda #1 from IDW, Orcs In Space #1 & #2 from Oni Press, Astonishing Times #1 from ComiXology Originals and Ninjak #1 from Valiant! There's also a little bit of comic book news thrown in for good measure! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Zach's away at the moment, but thanks to the magic of pre-recording episodes this week he's teaming up with Angela to discuss some recommendations of good comic book series to read on holiday. They've set themselves the loose rules of short or single volume series that aren't too heavy (in both book size and content). Rules they inevitably broke, but all in the effort to make some great picks. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Zach's spent the last few months reading the first hundred issues of IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ongoing series, plus all the tie-ins to go along with it, Will has also read quite a lot of Turtles comics, so this week they're putting Angela and Matt through TMNT Academy, an intense course of Turtles knowledge! You too can join them for this wild ride! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this episode Will and Zach are counting down their top five licensed comics, y'know the ones, the comics with stories that started out in another medium. I don't want to give too much away, but there's a fair few books from IDW, Boom Studios! and Dark Horse among their picks. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
