Fireside Chats - Comic Book Podcast

Greeting and salutation dear Firesiders! Welcome back and welcome to A Day! Today it’s time to dive into Square Enix’s Avengers. Most of us have it and beat it by now (spoilers ahead if you haven’t), but regardless… it’s time to talk. Join Mendte, Maurer, Features, and Baby Huey as they dissect the biggest crossover of comics and video games since Sony’s Spider-Man. Is it the Marvel Masterpiece they were hoping for, or just a glorified mobile game? Hear what the guys think about the gameplay, the story, the characters, and maybe most importantly - it’s future. Pick your Avenger, your companions, and press play. Welcome to Fireside

Welcome back, Hello, hello, and beep you dear Firesiders! It’s Wednesday and the gang is back together to deliver another heaping batch of that sweet, sweet, new, news. Thats right Fireside Family, Maurer is finally back from his moonlighting with the villainous Late Shift. The guys, now at full strength, have gathered the worthiest of news for you ears and enjoyment. From a new trailer for Shang-Chi .1, Review bombing the Boys, more Ray Fisher/WB crossfire, a sad drop off for the New Mutants, and as always, much much more. Let’s get this show on the road. Mind hitting play? Cool. Thank you. Oh, and Welcome to Fireside.

Welcome back fireside faithful to the Wednesday on Friday show! That’s right, you still got a heaping dose of the sweet, sweet, new, news coming your way. Join Mendte, Features, and Baby Huey as they play a little catch up with those comic related current events you have come to expect… just a few days later. From Batman’s Day, as well as his new diagnosis sadly… to convoluted Daredevil, and One trick Tony’s new resurrection ability. Plus much much more… like Laser babies. Yes. You read that right. Welcome to Fireside.

Welcome back dear Firesiders. Today we are not going to talk about the news like we normally do. There is really only one story that deserves the spotlight, and thats moarning and celebrating Chadwick Bosman who sadly passed away at the age of 43. When Black Panther first came out we had Ismail Amir on the show (who hosted a podcast at the time about Black Culture, especially in Philly) to talk, not only about the Comic side of the movie, but also its cultural relevance. Today Amir joins Mendte, Maurer, and Features again to help celebrate the life and achievements of Chadwick; from his performances, to his charitable work, to who he was as a person, how he saw the world, and how he influenced it. It’s a sad day. Rest in peace. Rest in power. Wakanda Forever.

Ok Firesiders, it’s time to talk about he best that DC’s Fandome had to offer! Wednesday we talk about some of the announcements, but we held off on the most exciting announcements until today. They deserve their own show. Join Mendte, Features, and Baby Huey as they talk about DC’s most exciting line up to date. From Wonder Woman and Black Adam, to The Suicide Squad and The Batman. Let’s not waste anymore time and get into it. It’s not just dope, it’s Super... even duper dope. Welcome to Fireside.

Welcome back Firesiders, it’s Fandome time! That’s right, DC had its virtual fandom event which was full of that sweet, sweet, new news. So much so that we are going to have to split this up. DC wasn’t the only company creating those comic related current events we tend to cover on Wednesdays... just most of it. Join Mendte, Features, and Baby Huey as they ease us into the awesome onslaught on DC coming attractions and more. From Milestone coming back, what’s going on with Flash’s show and movie, the Suicide Squad AND Batfamily games in the works, to a new Iron Patriot, and a 90’s marvel hero that wasn’t reborn. Let’s get this going. Welcome to Fireside.

Welcome back Fireside faithful, let’s try something new. Since we haven’t had a theatrical comic book movie to watch (let alone review) we thought we would see what originals these streaming services have to offer for comic fans. There is no better streaming service to start with than the granddaddy of them all, Netflix. Join Mendte, Features, and Baby Huey as they talk about some of their favorite Netflix bingeworthy gems. Excluding the Marvel shows of past, the guy list and review. From the obvious selections like Umbrella Academy, and Transformers, to lesser known options like Raising Dion and Ultarman. So if you are as bored as we are over here, we all know have some binging to do. Welcome to Fireside.

Welcome back you fancy flock of Fireside faithfuls. It’s once again Wednesday, so it’s once again for new comics, and new news. Join Mendte, Features, and Baby Huey filling in for Maurer who is once again out moonlighting with late shift. The new news is only new for so long... we can’t wait. We have Wolverine, Harley Quinn, Superman, The Boys, Venom, and more. Plus more info on the shack up at DC. So if you are heading to the comic shop, mask up, press play, and Welcome to Fireside.

Welcome back Fireside faithful! Last Weekend we finally got a chance to play the Avengers Beta and figured since we teased it last Friday, let’s review it this week. So that’s the game plan dear Firesiders. Join Mendte, Features, Baby Huey, and Felix Hergood of the Emergent Gamer Podcast, joining us once again since Maurer is still galavanting round with Late Shift. He would hate this show anyway... Video games and all. So what’s the beta like? Who and when can people play? Which characters shine? What’s the game play like? What do we want to see from this game in the future? All this a more, so press play, pre order, and join us. Welcome to Fireside.

Hello, welcome, greetings, and salutations dear Firesiders, it’s time we do that thing. Wednesday means it’s time once again to put everything on hold for a few hours why we fill our worlds with new comics, and new news. Maurer may still be out galavanting with late shift, but the rest of us are here deliver what you have come to expect. Join Mendte, Features (who claims to be over Late Shift’s betrayal with Maurer, but we will see), and that lovable scamp, Baby Huey. The guys talk about the “bloodbath” thats breaking out over at DC, a new Ranger sits on the throne of Drakken, the Omega-leveled knuckle sandwich, the impact of Three Jokers, and Cheeta’s Barbie makeover. So relax for a bit, enjoy the chill pill, and welcome to Fireside.

Welcome home Firesiders. Since Maurer and Huey are in the void still, there is no better time to pick up our controllers and talk video games. Joining us once again is Felix Hergood of the Emergent gamer podcast to catch us up with what’s happening at the intersection or Comics and Games. Join Mendte, Features, and Mr. Hergood as they break down their thoughts of both the Iron Man VR experience and the upcoming Avengers open World game. From our thoughts, to new characters, and PlayStation exclusives; if you moonlight with the gaming world this issue is for you. Welcome to Fireside.  

Welcome back Fireside family! We all know that any given week for a comic fan doesn’t really start until Wednesday, so let’s get this week going with some new comics, and new news. Maurer and Huey couldn’t make it to the recording of today’s show. I’ll let you figure out why. Literally. Put it in the comments, and whatever you come up with is what we will go with from now on. In their place we have the ever evolving comic fan from the Emergent Gamer Podcast, Mr. Felix Hergood. Join Mendte, Features, and Felix as they bring you the best of what the Comicsphere has to offer this week. From more Bat Rangers, to a new Super Cyborg Cyborg Superman. From more Knull madness, to the upcoming end of Wonder Woman, and the immediate end of Ghost Rider. Let’s get this going. Welcome to Fireside. You should probably press play.

Welcome back Fireside Faithful, and welcome to the Algorithm show. I’m not sure that sound better than the Friday show, but its honest. With SYFY releasing its long awaited documentary on Todd McFarlane called Like Hell I Wont, we thought it deserves everyones attention. If you are a long time listener, you know that Todd has been a major influence on all of us, so when they announced this doc, we were all excited. Join Mendte, Mr. Maurer, Features, and Baby Huey as they go into the pros and cons of this retelling a Legends drive for success. Watch the doc and join us for a spoiler review on one of the greats. Welcome to Fireside.

Welcome back fireside faithful, buckle up, it’s going to be a long one. Not only is it Wednesdays and the new news doesn’t stop, but Comic Con at Home has this issue overflowing. On this hour long issue, join Mendte, Mr. Maurer, Features, and Baby Huey as they tackle as much news as they can. From Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Walking Dead, Power Rangers, to Batman, They Boys, Paper Girls, and more Ray Fisher/ Joss Whedon Justice League debacle. Plus. So. Much. More. Let’s just get into it. It’s already over an hour. Welcome to Fireside.

So as you may, or may not have heard… we didn’t finish the news on Wednesday. So welcome to part 2… or Part B. Site B. The B side with the B boys. Features told us to add a B, so I’m trying to make it work. Well welcome to round B of the New News with Mendte, Mr. Maurer, and Features. To finish up from Wednesday, where comics stole the show, now it’s time for TV and Movies. From Todd’s docuseries, to to a cooler ending in the Ayers Cut of Suicide Squad. From the Rabbit warrior, Usagi Yojimbo, heading to Netflix, and The Batman starting production again with new safety measures, to Where the Snyder Cut fits in the greater DCU. Let’s finish this, Welcome to Fireside.
