Episode 62: Welcome Back for Season 3!

Well we planned a short hiatus during a busy time in 2 Man Land, and then the short hiatus became a little longer and then a little longer. Now, roughly 2 1/2 months later, WE'RE BACK!  This episode is kind of a "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" episode. We talk through what we've watched and read over the last few months. We were also in a new location and we're still getting sound dialed in a bit, please bear with us! We hope to be back on our normal release schedule with new episodes every Monday Morning, so we hope you'll keep coming back.  We plan to get back to Flashpoint in the next few episodes.

In today's episode we speed through 5 issues of The Flash/Reverse Flash that set up the next story arc we'll be covering on the show, " Flashpoint ".  Flashpoint is an intense arc in the DC Universe that shakes up everything.

Episode 59: Freestyle Episode

Things got really hectic in 2 Man Land this week and we realized that if we didn't record an episode Wednesday Evening, we wouldn't be able to before release day. I hadn't yet had a chance to read the Flashpoint comics we were going to cover, so instead of making our loyal listeners wait another week to hear our "beautiful" voices, we opted to do a freestyle episode. (Disclaimer, this episode is only available in audio form)  In this episode we talk about what we've been reading like always, but then we talk Spider-man movie news, a little Wandavision, A little about the Reverse Flash, My neighbors car that sounds like a spaceship every time it turns on, a surprise unboxing from Alex (You'll never guess what he got), and we close out the episode talking about our "Desert Island Superhero Picks"  What are your Desert Island Superhero Picks ? You get to pick one thing in each category.          1 run of Comic Books (That you could find assembled in...

Episode 58: "Flash of Two Worlds" - Flash #123 (1961)

In episode 58, we jump way back in time to Flash #123 from 1961 to talk about a really important issue in comic book history, "Flash of Two Worlds", and the birth of the multiverse!! We're trying to give a little backstory on Flash and Batman so we can work to cover "The Button" soon, which is all about different timelines/multiverses, so we wanted to go to the source.  Next we hope to cover "Flashpoint". If you've never read Flash of Two Worlds, its available on DC Universe Infinite, or you can just listen to our coverage. (Or for that matter, you could watch the CW's Flash episodes that cover this same ground, though with some interesting twists and turns) Comic Credits                                                                       WRITTEN BY:      Gar...
