Banana-Flavoured Iron Fist

It's often said that it's not the destination that's important but the journey itself, which is good news for us as we often wonder how can start with a simple bit of news and wind up somewhere … else. Aside from that it's time for your weekly dose of comic-book and manga goodness which will be administered through your ears by Andrew, Producer Rob and Editor Rob.

Kicking things off is the news that the rather excellent series Injection by Warren Ellis has been optioned for TV - something that we're all looking forward to. After that we discuss the villains in the second season of Luke Cage, and the announcement that C. B. Cebulski and Hiro Mashima will both be judges in a collaborative award between Kodansha and Marvel that will focus on certain superhero manga.

Our featured comics and manga are Image's Rumble, Marvel Legacy, The Sentry, Arakawa Under the Bridge volumes 1 & 2 by Hikaru Nakamura, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra and The Enormous Profit (volume 2 in the series), and the first volume of the surrealist comedy manga City by Keiichi Arawi (the creator of Nichijou: My Ordinary Life).

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.
