A new episode of Strangers with Comics arrives!  We start things off with the week in geek segment which features Gabe being abandoned by his parents so he orders Domino’s.  Rob goes on about some video games he has been playing and Tony reports on the KISS concert.  The Strangers also go over some internet rules. In our TV and Movie Roundup, Gabe basically repeats his weekly Fringe/Glee/Flash Forward praise. We have a brief discussion of Dr. Who and Water of Mars and then a discussion of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show.

 

During the main segment we discuss Superhero Fashion. We start off with costumes we like and then talk about the classic “iconic” costumes (for example Batman).  We then move into the bad which of course means we talk a lot about the 90’s. We wrap up with some guilty pleasure costumes which are costumes that are pretty awful but we like them anyway.  We also toss in the comments from Twitter and Facebook from Randal, Jon Suarez, Moonkatz and Gene Valjean.

 

In our weekly comics roundup, books we liked included Transformers, Adventure Comics, Victorian Undead and Jersey Gods.  We then go into a lengthy rant about Flash Rebirth wherein we question the entire concept and mock the many ridiculous aspects of the story, including the awful costume Wally ended up in. Gabe then rants about Outsiders. 

 

Thanks for listening.  We appreciate feedback here or you can call our voice line at 206-426-1744.
