Paul and Al are back, with a bunch of chat for you about DC's Future State, the return of the Thunderbolts, delays to Marvel's Eternals and Aftershock's merger, along with reviews of Amazing Spider-Man and We Live. The Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe is number two, but it tries harder.

Al and Paul are back, and they're talking about DC Universe Infinity, Brian Michael Bendis leaving the Super-books, the return of Batman: Black and White, Marvel's new S.W.O.R.D. series, IDW's place as Marvel's kids' books custodian and Archie going day-and-date on ComiXology Unlimited, as well as chewing over reviews of Juggernaut and The Autumnal. The Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: it's the new normal in these unusual times.

After their foray into the abyss that is the 1993 Marvel annuals, Paul and Al are back with a regular episode, with chat about Denny O'Neil and Joe Sinnott, the recent wave of allegations of impropriety and harassment in comics, DC quitting Diamond, Marvel's new Warhammer line, the culling of the Empyre crossover and the return of Bill & Ted under Evan Dorkin and Roger Langridge, as well as reviews of Ash & Thorn and All-America Comix. I don't understand how a heart is a spade but somehow the Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe is made.

Al and Paul bring you their first ever remote recording, as they give the Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe treatment to all 27 characters introduced in Marvel's 1993 annuals!

Paul and Al are back to talk about Dan DiDio's exit from DC, the postponement of Emerald City Comic-Con, Comixology's European price hikes, the Quotable Giant Days and John Layman and Dan Boultwood's Chu, as well as reviewing Join The Future and Strange Academy. Maybe she's born with it - maybe it's the Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.

It's awards time! Paul and Al are taking a leisurely saunter through their picks for the best series, creators and moments of 2019, as well as taking a look at the ones which you voted for. WHO managed to pull off a narrow win for Best Writer? WHICH Marvel series pulled off a clean sweep? DID they mention any manga (yes!)? HOW many comments did they read out on the show from the listener votes (none, sorry, by the time they recorded there wasn't time to collate them)?

Paul and Al are back with a new episode, where they remember Tom Spurgeon, Howard Cruse and Tom Lyle, talk about delays at Marvel, the announcements of Hellions and Strange Academy, Chris Samnee's Fire Power and Vault Comics' Myriad line and review Annihilation: Scourge - Silver Surfer and Dying Is Easy. And don't overlook the hotly-awaited audio from the SILENCE! To Astonish panel live at Thought Bubble 2019, with Gerry Duggan, Ram V, John Allison and Emma Vieceli!

A relatively quiet period for comics news, but Al and Paul have chat on Kevin Feige being installed as Chief Creative Officer of Marvel, the Bloodshot movie, the Into The Spider-Verse sequel, Sky UK's troubles showing the CW's Crisis crossover, HBO Max's Green Lantern and Strange Adventures series, Dark Horse collecting Michel Fiffe's Panorama, and the closing of ComicBookDB and The MNT, as well as reviews of Afterlift and The Sandman Universe Presents: Hellblazer. The Official Handbook of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe counts as one of your five a day, so eat up.

Paul and Al are back, with chat on Tom Lyle, Mariko Tamaki's new graphic novel imprint, a bunch of news out of NYCC including new series for Wolverine, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man 2020, Star Wars, the upcoming The End one-shots, Marvel teaming with Games Workshop, Plunge, G Willow Wilson on The Dreaming, Amethyst, The Last God, The Killing Horizon, Black Crown folding, Quantum & Woody, Tomorrow, Enigma, Kill a Man and Alienated. They've also got reviews of Ghost Rider and Strange Skies Over East Berlin, and the audio from the SILENCE! to Astonish panel from Glasgow Comic-Con 2019.

It's been far too long, but Paul and Al are back with a brand new episode, talking about the shuttering and reopening of Manga Rock, Conan copyright scuffles, Terrific Production's Youngblood, Brian Wood being shown the door at Dark Horse, the return of Hellboy, Once and Future becoming an ongoing, Marvel's Incoming! and the newly-announced Disney+ MCU shows, as well as reviews of Everything and Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy. Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong
