Heavy Metal

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!

The boys hit the roundtable for a spoiler-free review of Thor: Ragnarok and a solid week worth of comics. Indie hits like The Harcourt Legacy and Algernon Blackwood's The Willows take the top seat alongside Image's Port of earth from Zack Kaplan, the creator of Eclipse. Not to mention Iron Maiden's Eddie goes on his first comic adventure, Shang Chi makes his return to the Marvel Universe, and King Kong (finally) lands on the Planet of the Apes! You're in for a great episode. What're you waiting for? Hit the play button already!

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!

Tony Wolf joins the roundtable this week for a pre-Batman v Superman discussion, and he brings with him his newest autobiographical comic, 1-800-DEAD-ROBIN, which tells the tale of a young comic fan in the late 80s who set out to kill a teenage boy. We're speaking of course, about Jason Todd, and DC's call-in vote to save the life of the second Boy Wonder, after a brutal beating at the hands of the Joker! Would Batman get there in time?
