Comic books and facials (get your mind out of the gutter!) Those are the topics the crew covers this week. Cuba and Izzi mad a stop at the local comic shop and picked up a few titles and give their reviews and toughest on it. We talk about Spider-man getting his family back in the upcoming Renew Your Vows story line and our general preference towards the smaller publishers. We talk comics that have a clear story with beginning middle and end that don't drag on indefinitely like the Marvel or DC books.
The comics reviewed:
Rat Queens (Trade)
Lady Killer (#1 & #2)
Spread (#1 & #2)
Star Wars (#1 & #2)
Darth Vader (#1 & #2)
Princess Leia (#1 & #2)

Episode 150: The Walking Red (Shirts)
The whole crew is back together for this one. We run a little long but we debate over some great topics. After making fun of Cubas city driving, Cuba and Izzi talk a little about their trip to Philly and how disgusting a Philly Cheese Steak is. We then jump right into it and talk about the announcement of an new all male Ghostbusters movie and the implications it has on the Paul Feig movie. The crew then gets into a heated debate on The Walking Dead and their habit of killing off black guys. Is it bad writing? A running joke? Do they get developed like the white characters? Or is everyone reading too into it? Lastly we cover the issue of Batgirl Joker variant cover and the controversy around that. Buckle in and get some pop corn, your in for a ride!

Episode 145: Context not withstanding....
This episode the crew talks about the story of the 9 year old Texas boy who got suspended for threatening a kid with the one ring. This brings us on to the topics of schools over reaching and first of many times in the episode where context of a subject is brought up. We then discuss Superman's new power and the lack of good writers and stories in mainstream Marvel and DC comics. Will Heisenberg be the villain in the next Star Trek? And finally does Luke meeting Vader in Marvel's newest Star Wars comic take away form their duel in Empire? A topic we didn't have nearly enough time to debate properly!

Welcome to episode 137! In This episode we relaunch The Escape Pod with two new co-hosts Pat and Izzi. We get to know each other, review LootCreate, discuss our thoughts on the title "The Force Awakens" and we do a run down of all the superhero movies coming out over the next 5 years.
The audio is a little off sounding. Please bare with us as we tweak, fine-tune, refine and get adjusted to the new cast, and location.
