The Very Fine Comic Book Podcast

<3 <3 <3 Happy Valentine's Day! <3 <3 <3

Joan Peterson discovers she is trapped in an endless, terrifying cycle of "romance" -- and every time she falls in love, she’s torn from her world and thrust into another tear-soaked tale! It's the tropes and trappings of the 1940s-50s "romance comics" boom with a scifi/supernatural twist in LOVE EVERLASTING from Image Comics! Written by Tom King, illustrated by Elsa Charretier, colored by Matt Hollingsworth, lettered by Clayton Cowles!

SKREEONK!!! It's our monstrous 50th episode! What better way to celebrate than with the Big G himself - GODZILLA!!! Many publishers have put out Godzilla comics over the years, including a Marvel Comics series in the 1970s, and a longrunning line from IDW Publishing since 2010. In this episode, we'll be taking a look at the Godzilla titles published by Dark Horse Comics from the late 1980s through mid 1990s. We mayyyyy spend a disproportionate amount of time reviewing the incredible "GODZILLA VS. BARKLEY" one-shot from 1993, inspired by this legendary Nike commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oCF-QFuoYs

THANK YOU to listener Jon Freeman for gifting these books to Justin at a Godzilla-palooza marathon at Pennsylvania's Mahoning Drive-In Theater!

Long before serving as the villain in James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3", the High Evolutionary was the chief antagonist in one of Marvel's biggest crossovers to date -- THE EVOLUTIONARY WAR event, which ran through all Marvel Comics Annuals in the Summer 1988 (including the confirmed-canonical ALF Annual #1). We take a look at all 12 chapters, warts & all!
