Pete and Ramon hit the roundtable for a stellar week in comics! It's been awhile since the boys were really thrilled with just about everything they read over the week! Frankly it's a nice change of pace from Pete's usual angry-reading. Mirka Andolfo's Mercy and Ablaze's The Cimmerian get high marks, as well as a bunch of others you'll have to tune in to hear about. Besides an awesome week in books, there's the new Batmobile to discuss, as well as a certain beer-flu running rampant and causing comic con cancellations!

Despite a few minor setbacks, Pete, Ramon, and Greg are at the roundtable with reviews of the Locke & Key trailer, New Mutants, and uhhh that other one. Plus reviews of all the comics that dropped over the holidays, like Donny Cates’ new Thor series, IDW’s Kill Lock, Image’s The Clock, and Marvel’s Incoming (hold your ears and shield the children for this one, Basement Buds!)
All that and comic giveaways too! We announce the winners of all our trivia contests!
Grab your popcorn, drinks, and even yourselves if you wish - no actually don’t do that - just hit the play button!

Liz and Red drop by the Basement for a Black Panther spoiler-free review, and to give away some awesome BP drinking glasses, hand-painted by Liz herself! If that's not reason enough to hit the play button, well how 'bout some great comics like DC/Vertigo's Deathbed, Heavy Metal's Taarna, and Dynamite's 80s horror cult classic, Pumpkinhead, to name just a few!? Yea, that's what we thought. Grab your whiskey and pizza! It's time for another great episode of Pete's Basement!

Building on the success of last week's segment episode, the boys have another go at it. Pete discusses his Christmas wish-list. Steve untangles Spider-man's net gains. Ramon, well something's really got him spooked.

Pete gets Eli Manning yards on the latest issue of Brand New Day, Captain Bucky kneecaps some men in tights, the Last Man goes out with a bang, but not as loudly as Professor X. Denouement to Messiah Complex, Alex Ross's new project is a suckfest (aka Superpowers), while the Avengers continues to own da Basment. Also? A bitter New York Jew discusses a little known classic!
