The Book Report Podcast #166: Heroes Stillborn

March 4, 2014

Welcome to the 166th edition of The Book Report, Crave Online’s comic book podcast, featuring Iann Robinson and Andy Hunsaker.

This week, we talk Oscars! I know, that ain’t comics, but we’re slaves to Twitter requests! Also, there’s a bit of wrestling chat, and we talk about NBC’s attempt to revive Heroes for some reason. Also, Lena Dunham is writing Archie Comics? What up with that?

Also, we’ve got some advance word on this Wednesday’s comics! Moon Knight, Magneto and Wolverine and the X-Men! We’ve read ’em! Two of them are great! Also, the week that was, including Superior Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, The Wake, The Massive, Hawkeye, Secret Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Daredevil: Road Warrior, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Teen Titans, Uncanny Avengers, Deadpool, Lois Lane, Tomb Raider and more!

Comic Channel Editor

Comics Editor Andy Hunsaker has written for Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast. Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs. If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title. If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
