S2 Ep16: The Christmas Comics Extravaganza 2018 - 4-Panel vol. 2, Issue 16

Author: The Geek Show December 11, 2018 Duration: 1:06:22

It's the last full-length edition of 4-Panel for 2018, and in the spirit of the season Andrew, Mick and Producer Rob take a look at some Christmas comics. What could possibly go wrong?

We mean well. Honest, we really do.

So what comics did Santa leave under the tree for us? Well, there's Marvel Two-in-One: Silent Night … Deadly Night! (starring The Thing and Ghost Rider), What The--?! X-Mas Special (Milk and Cookies, Santa Doom, Chaplain America), Evil Dead 2: A Merry Deadite Christmas, The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special, Marvel Holiday Special Volume 1 (Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santron, Moleman's Christmas and Christmas Day in Manhattan), and the Wormwood, Gentleman Corpse Christmas Special.

One of those threatened to bring down the whole episode.

After that we round off this episode and this year with our usual look at comics and manga that we've been reading, and this week we've got Doctor Who: The Phantom Piper, Marvel Platinum: The Definitive Thanos, and Doctor Star and The Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows.

We're on a break for the Christmas and New Year period, but we'll be releasing some mini episodes until we're back on the air. We'll see you all in the new year!

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.
