Comics Are My Happy Place

Join Colin Hoult and Nick Kirk as they take a deep dive into the villains of Spider-Noir - we're talking Black Cat, Electro, Sandman, Molten Man and Silvermane - and tackle the important questions:- is that Black Cat's real hair? Does sand really work like that? And by "molten", do they really mean "just a bit greasy"?

We'll also be taking at a look at the new DC Absolute universe, specifically Batman and asking is he just too hench?

BOOMERANG, SCORPION, TARANTULA, TOMBSTONE

We've got an incoming MCU film on the horizon so Colin and Nick are taking a look at the villains of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY and asking the important questions:- what is Scorpion's tail supposed to be? Why does Boomerang's original suit not have any boomerangs on it? And is Tarantula's power just having really really pointy shoes?

(NB - We'll be taking a little break over Easter and will be back in April with new episodes!)

BATROC, WHIRLWIND, LIVING LASER, ZARAN, MACHETE

Bonjour, mes amis! Join your jovial hosts Colin and Nick as they take a look at one of the few Marvel characters who has his own brigade - yes, it's the probably racially-insensitively named Batroc The Leaper (a man skilled in the noble French art of feet boxing). Who are the rest of his brigade? Are they supervillains to be taken seriously? And are any of them actually any good? These questions and fewer might be answered in this week's episode....

It's a slightly different episode this week as Nick goes solo to take a little sidestep away from the list to look at the Transformers and ask the question we've all been asking:- are the Transformers part of the Marvel universe? (Normal list-based service will resume next week...)
