RetConversations

In a topsy turvy season finale, Leia, Josh and auditing professor Jenn are joined (and taught!) by Friend of the Podcast Adam Witt about all things Fantastic Four! Why didn't the movies work? Is Ben Grimm a fine Jewish boy? What FF books are good for people who don't like the FF? Tune in to find out!

Josh and Leia welcome back great friend and guest Matt Hirth to talk about Fray! We start with a long statement regarding Joss Whedon and then dive into the future slayer world. The story is super toy. Don't know what that means? Listen to find out!

If ever we had a NSFW episode, this one is it... Leia and Josh are joined by special guest JR Cillian Green to talk about Sex Criminals! What if you could freeze time every time you orgasmed? What if one person wouldn't stop making sex puns the entire time you explained a comic about it? This one goes way over the line - so much so that our guest quits at LEAST three times! Make sure you have earbuds on for this episode!

Leia and Josh are joined once more by the lovely Jennifer Howland to go through the conclusion of Tom King's amazing Human Target! Will Christopher Chance find his killer? Will he be able to find a cure for the poison coursing through his body? How much more of a dick can Guy Gardener possibly be? Answers to all this and more inside!

Leia and Josh welcome back friend of the podcast Kyle Slack to talk about Hellboy Conqueror Worm! Leia's first Hellboy comic and one Josh has been interested in awhile. Homunculi, robot gorillas and killing Nazis. Everything you need for a relaxing afternoon!

Josh and Leia welcome very special guest Chris Wolf from @VillainSupport to explain the first of three Age of Apocalypse collections (not counting the prequel collection). Everything is topsy turvy, edginess is the name of the game and the 90's bleed through as the group loses their minds trying to make sense of all this.

Leia and Josh sit down with Loki Variant and possible Skrull, Loki Lott to go through Secret Invasion! A direct follow-up to our first episode, Civil War, Secret Invasion has everything you could want in an event - intrigue, danger, mystery and, of course, Maria Hill being punked out because it's a Marvel event and they just can't help themselves. Tune in for a story that WE PROMISE is much better than the MCU show was.

From beginning to end, this is a must-listen episode. Returning guest Scott Sinclair bring his son and our youngest Graphically Novel fan, Daniel, to hear all about TMNT: The Last Ronin! Leia, Josh and special guest Jennifer Howland are made to feel extremely old as all of their references fall on 11 year old ears and fail. Come for the schadenfreude and stay for one of the best TMNT stories of the last 20 years!

Stop us if you've heard this one - Leia and Josh take someone through a Tom King written story about a C-tier DC character. No, it's not Mister Miracle again - it's the Human Target! We take special guest Jennifer Howland through Part 1 of this noir murder mystery and by the end she's asking for Part 2!

Have you been waiting for an episode where our guest gets their sanity destroyed in real time? Then this is the episode for you! Josh and Leia finally catch up to Rob Liefeld and the era of big pecs and tiny feet rises! Listen as they turn special guest Jesse Letourneau's mind to mush and then afterwards deconstruct this series' effects on the MCU!

We want our Cap TV! Leia and Josh take special guest Michael Garrity through one of the strangest Captain America stories on Leia's shelf - Captain America: Castaway in Dimension Z! We like this comic like we like our orange juice - brimming with pulp!

Let's start Season 4 off right - with Josh and Leia's chickens coming home to roost. This is a storyline THEY ASKED FOR so now it's time to take special guest Cory Peter through the event Sins of Sinister! Snark, glam and clones, clones, clones!

In the last (for now) episode of RetConversations, Leia and Josh are joined by return guest and voice actor Royal Hebert to talk about Cable & Deadpool! A lot of questionable science, wacky fun and what character you should never, ever end your graphic novel with. Additionally, the entire Graphically Novel crew talks their favorite episodes of both podcasts and has a drink and a couple more laughs together.

Leia and Josh are joined by special guest Patrick Stout Gerrity to talk about Devil's Reign! So many weird choices in this one. Matt Murdock's twin brother has been resurrected via magic crystal and his identity has been wiped from the minds of the world by the Purple Man's children and all of this somehow leads to a storyline involving Wilson Fisk's *reelection* as Mayor of New York. Get ready for a wild ride.

Leia and Josh are joined by first time guest, Tony Van Dyke to talk about Superman: Red Son! Lex Luther plus Reed Richards = chess playing douchebag, sunflower seeds for Doomsday's pockets and could this be a Superman story both the hosts really liked?!?

Happy Halloween from RetConversations! Leia and Josh welcome Graphically Novel host Bear to talk about Absolute Carnage! Like wow, this story. Why is Norman Osborne in *every* story? Is Knull really just a Lovecraft Elder God? And what is up with not identifying characters in your comic? Tune in for this plus legit Spider-Man fan Josh has absolutely no idea what's going on and is getting no help from the comic.

Josh and Leia are back with special guest Jesse Letourneau to talk the second half of Onslaught. In order to avoid discussions about this storyline, they talk about the nature of man, fear versus hate and the philosophy of X-Men.

Josh and Leia are joined by returning guest Jesse Letourneau to delve into one of X-Men's most infamous stories - Onslaught! Too much fun to keep to just one episode, in part 1 we set up that no one likes Cyclops, Professor Xavier is a TERRIBLE father figure and we get real deep and real off topic with talks about the current states of nerd culture.

Josh and Leia are joined by special guest Dawn Baldwin and auditing Graphically Novel host Jennifer Howland to talk about the very 90's Dawn by Joseph Michael Linsner. Lingerie as a common fashion choice, a bit of religious talk on a Sunday and Josh's nostalgia is violently shattered by three women in real time. Come for the comic and stay for the discussion about where 90's kids hid their porn.

Josh and Leia are joined by Bear and Jennifer from Graphically Novel and return guest Jason Taylor to explain Old Man Logan! A Kurosawa-esque post-apocalyptic romp with betrayal, tragedy and hillbilly inbred Hulks!
