Jon Reads Comics

Picard’s old Stargazer crew are on board the Enterprise. The mission changes dramatically when someone is murdered.

Clinton, Layne, and Jon land with the Turtles on the islands of the Caribbean on the 500th anniversary of the Spanish invasion in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures 40 from Archie Comics! Then it’s the beginning of Zulli’s Souls trilogy in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 31 with a trip to Egypt in 32 from Mirage!

Layne and Jon have finally reached PHASE TWO of IDW’s The Transformers! And they are here to launch this new era of the show with More Than Meets the Eye 1 and Robots in Disguise 1 before turning their attention to the first two issues of Autocracy, all from the new year of 2012!

Jon reads Action Comics 266 and an excerpt from Superman 139 (1960) and talks about them!

Jon and Blaine are back, but what about Sheridan and Garibaldi?

Layne and Jon are HIGHLY BOTHERED by Splinter’s shenanigans as the Turtles are Chasing Phantoms in IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 62 from 2016!

Jon reads Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen 46 (1960) and talks about it!

Van Allen Plexico joins us once again to wrap up the third season! Unfortunately, we were still using Skype for conversations with 3 or more people, so the audio quality is not where we usually hope it will be. Thankfully, this should be the last episode ever in which we have such issues.

Clinton, Layne, and Jon wrap up their look at “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”, the Mutanimals crossover with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures in issue 39 from Archie Comics! Also it’s our final episode to devote a segment to the Turtles short stories published by Mirage as they move away from that publication method. This time out, we look at the three Mirage Mini Comics that pertain to the Turtles: “Casey Jones, Private Eye”, “A Forgotten TMNT Adventure”, and “Dinner with Don”. Then we talk about an untitled Nobody story, and Raphael’s “Christmas Carol”!

Layne and Jon are eager to dive into Phase Two, but first, it’s time to revisit the Hearts of Steel continuity for the IDW crossover event Infestation 2 with Infestation 2: Transformers issues 1 and 2 from 2012!
