It's a Petes-Squared roundtable this week! And what a week it was! Jon Cryer makes his triumphantly villainous debut as Lex Luthor! The Disney/Fox merger finally reaches the finish line. The Stranger Things trailer drops! Pete just got his new Mondo He-Man figure so get ready for the grand unboxing! Plus great comics to review, as well what music makes you wanna' blast the volume, and what the proper filling for raviolis is. There's a true classic Basement episode just waiting for you to hit the play button!

Rocket Scientist Ninja Chris Craddock joins Pete at the Basement table this week, and he helps Pete and the fans understand (in layman's terms) the science behind DC's Frostbite.! Tarzan on the Planet of the Apes is such a great concept that it should have been done long ago! Teen Titans: Rebirth is off to a great start. But the highlight of this week came in the form of Deadpool Annual 1. The boys couldn't help but unleash their inner 5yr old after seeing a book drawn just like Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, one of their favorite Saturday morning cartoons!

It's the world's first Solo-Pete episode of Pete's Basement! Hard to believe after 9 years, this is the first time Pete's run the show all by his lonesome. What does that mean exactly? ...It means no one is there to stop him from being...well....Pete.
Seriously, the amount of zany antiques and drunken foulmouthery in this episode should only be attempted by veteran fans, or those clearly misguided and unhinged individuals who like to hear people cursing about comic books. (You can't even imagine the shit Pete said that we had to cut out of this episode!) Read more »

The Paybacks are back! That's right, one of Pete and Ramon's favorite books from 2015 makes its triumphant debut with Heavy Metal! From the minds of Eliot Rahal and Donny Cates, this series kicks off right where it left off under Dark Horse Comics. Hear what the boys have to say about the triumphant return of the superheroic repo-men! Also, the Incredible Hulk is dead, and Hawkeye is taking life lessons from Dr.Kevorkian!

Hannah from 8-Bit Bakeshop returns to the roundtable this week to debut her newest creation, The Pete Box Level 3! What tasty treats await inside for the boys to enjoy? You'll just have to watch the episode to find out! Also in this episode: The Death Penalty! Daredevil vs. The Punisher: The Seventh Circle concluded it's infinite comic this week, and the boys loved it! A must-read! A "versus" book done right! ...As opposed to that other versus book this week. Also, Pete loses his shit over Spider-Man: The Clone Conspiracy! DC Rebirth sees ...another speedster in The Flash?

The showdown between Pete and Steve that's been brewing for the past few weeks could not be put off any longer! Ramon could care less and catches up on comics.

Pete's ... recovered. Yeah, that's it. But just to be safe, the boys are staying in their respective geek lairs this week. Trish and Rich drop by to help make the bad man stop. Let's hear it for those brave souls.

The boys have cigars! You know what that means... hello Hannibal and J. Jonah Jameson references. Questions get answered, book of the week is revealed, and a really close almost book of the week too.

J.K. Woodward drops by the Basement, and brings his shiny new Transmetropolitan Art Book, limited edition hardcover... Pete thanks him by being disgusting, vulgar, cantankerous, and not at all well... so the usual. Plus recommendations for new readers and more!

This picture of Pete sums it all up, a patriotic man, deeply opinionated, holding down a corn whiskey burp, and about ten minutes away from dropping a duce. Happy Birthday America. From Pete's Basement.

With Steve M.I.A. Pete calls in reinforcements. Lou and Cheeseburger Pete sit in. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, so strap in Basement fans!
