    S3 Ep18: Venom For Beginners - 4-Panel Vol. 3, Issue 18
    Dec 22 2020
    When it comes to comic-book characters there are few that are as weird as Marvel's chompy tentacle monster known as Venom.

    But where does the symbiotic goop that makes up Venom come from? Why is it obsessed with Spider-Man? Why is there a bizarre ménage-a-trois between Flash Thomson, Eddie Brock and a mysterious other being? Find out the answers to these and other questions you never asked in our beginner's guide to Venom!

    S3 Ep17: Captain America's Weird Villains - 4-Panel Vol. 3, Issue 17

    There's an old adage that states that you can judge a person based on the quality of their enemies, so when the person in question has a clear ethical and moral code, conducts himself honourably in almost everything, can be little old fashioned thanks to a brief sojourn as a Capsicle, and is one of Marvel's most beloved characters (thanks to the MCU), you'd expect the villain roster to be full of seriously bad people.

    Which it is ... up to a point. 

    Unfortunately Captain America, like so many other comic-book superheroes who've been around for a while, has a few embarrassing skeletons in his closet, and some even stranger enemies ...

    S3 Ep16: Judge Dredd For Beginners - 4-Panel Vol. 3, Issue 16
    Sep 10 2020
    Sometimes you don't have to be a vigilante to stop criminals. Sometimes you don't need superpowers to keep the peace. Sometimes all you need is a shiny helmet, big heavy boots to stomp things, a big gun, a cool motorbike, and the knowledge that you are the drokking law.

    Judge Dredd is the most popular and successful character to emerge from the pages of British sci-fi comics anthology 2000 A.D., but with so many comics, stories, plot threads, spin-offs, crossovers, political opinions and more, finding a place to start getting acquainted with the paragon of law enforcement can be difficult.

    Thankfully the 4-Panel gang (and resident Drexpert Mick), are ready to take you on a guided tour through the streets and blocks of Mega City One where you can mingle with all sorts of people including norms, flabbies and maybe the odd mutie, play a spot of Aeroball, visit the odd skankerie, learn about the city's history and culture and more.

    There's gold in those piles of comics of manga, and the grizzled veterans of 4-Panel are determined to find it no matter how many Clint Eastwood musicals they have to sit through!

    This episode we're kicking things off with the confusingly titled Thanos: The Infinity Ending before we joining our friendly neighbourhood arthropod for Spidey: School's Out. After that we head over to DC for a stunning reimagining of an iconic character in Harleen, then it's over to Humanoids the dark and bloody Mask Of Fudo before we finish things off with Snow Day.

    4-Panel returns from another stint panning for comics and manga gold in the riverbed of graphic literature.

    Tortured analogies aside, this week is our usual mixed bag of the good, the meh, and the downright bizarre - and not in a nice way. Up for scrutiny are GWAR: The Enormogantic Fail, Loki: Agent Of Asgard (the complete collection), Jughead: The Hunger Versus Vamperonica, The Fourth Power, the first volume of The Reprise Of The Spear Hero, Swimming In Darkness, and the third volume of Granblue Fantasy.

    Strange powers aren't a new thing to superhero comics (just check out our episode about Superman's collection of odd, and for the most part thankfully forgotten abilities), and this week it's the turn of Tony Stark to go under our microscope.

    Get ready for a cavalcade of oddities as we explore the history of Marvel's futurist and some the more bizarre functions of his armour ... and his brain?

    Oh, and before you ask, billionaire playboy philanthropist genius is not a superpower.

    Sometimes you just have to go back to basics in comics, and like the characters out of an old-school fantasy novel, the brotherhood between Marvel's Thor and a horse-faced alien cyborg is something that has become legend in comics.

    But like every good bromance, this one started with a bit of a punch-up.

    Join Andrew, Rob and Mick as for this beginner's guide to the last survivor of the Korbinite race that includes The Mighty Thor #337 - 340: The Ballad of Beta Ray Bill, Stormbreaker: The Saga of Beta Ray Bill, Secret Invasion: Thor, Secret Invasion Aftermath: Beta Ray Bill - The Green Of Eden, Annihilators, and The Unworthy Thor.

    The 4-Panel gang return with another heaping helping of comics and manga goodness, and this week there's plenty to talk about.

    First up are Marvel's newest super team and their first few outings in Strikeforce: Trust Me, Jeff Lemire's new world-crossing barbaruan in the first volume of Berserker Unbound, and the first two volumes of Taku Kuwabara's controversial manga series Drifting Dragons. After that it's time for a bit of speed in Spider-Man: Velocity, some colourfully cosmic shenanigans in Silver Surfer: Black, and a return to the strange minds of Alejandro Jodorowsky and François Boucq on Twisted Tales.
