Arm The Sneeze Torpedoes

It's time for more comic-book and manga fun, and big things seem to be happening for DC this week with the announcement that the road may be ending for the DCEU and the arrival of Brian Michael Bendis - who finally leaves arch-rivals Marvel after seventeen years. We also find out that Disney once had discussions with Fox to by almost all of it, and that the best Inhuman of all (which is Lockjaw obviously), is getting his own series.

Our featured comics and manga are Porcelain: Ivory Tower, Dean Motter’s Mister X: The Modern Age, Cells at Works (Hataraku Saibou) volume 1 by Akane Shimizu, Star Wars: Darth Maul, Toppu GP volumes 1 and 2 by Kosuke Fujishima, and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Pellucidar: At the Earth's Core.

And no, we're not getting paid by the writers or publishers of Porcelain. It really is THAT good.

Dive deep into the vibrant, inky world of graphic storytelling with 4-Panel | Comics & Manga. Hosted by the crew from The Geek Show, this podcast feels less like a formal review and more like hanging out at your local comic shop, eavesdropping on the most passionate, knowledgeable, and slightly chaotic conversation in the corner. Each episode is a journey through the panels, where the latest superhero movie news might spark a deep dive into its obscure source material, or a review of a classic manga can derail into a hilarious debate about the weirdest trends in sequential art. You’ll hear genuine reactions to the most exciting and baffling news from both Western comics and Japanese manga, alongside unfiltered reviews that celebrate masterpieces and lovingly roast the odd misfire. The charm of this show lies in its authentic, meandering energy-the hosts get genuinely excited and distracted, following tangents that often lead to the best insights. It’s a celebration of the entire culture, from big-screen adaptations to the indie zine you’ve never heard of. Tune in for a weekly dose of enthusiasm that reminds you why you fell in love with these stories in the first place.
