S2 Ep53: Comic-Book Adaptations That Went Astray - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 53

S2 Ep53: Comic-Book Adaptations That Went Astray - 4-Panel Vol. 2, Issue 53

Author: The Geek Show October 17, 2019 Duration: 1:03:43
We're kicking things off this week with a quick look at the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix as it's a nice little prelude to our main topic - comic-book adaptations that strayed a lot from the source material (in both the bad ways and the good ways).

After that we have our usual look at the things we've been reading, which this week include Meyer by Jonathan Lang, Marvel's Invaders, the second volume of Emanon (Emanon Wanderer), by Kenji Tsurata, The Girl In The Bay by J.M. De Matteis, and X-23: X-Assassin.

Also, we apologise for the problems with the audio in this episode.

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.
