You know when reality shows finish a season and then they have a reunion episode at the end where the people that screwed each other over over the course of the season get to face each other? This is a lot like the Star Brand version of that. A definitive end to Star Brand for sure, and be sure to stick around til the end for DJ Roger's bad dance g…

While it all began with Wayne, Kathy, Stasi, Tyrone and Michael we have come a long way since then. Only Wayne and Kathy from the original team are still together, and even their days as a team might be numbered? In this issue, PSI Force is slumming it with the Medusa Web for a bit, maybe knocking off the Annoying Potiphar before they move to their…

It's Christmas 1988, and single mom Stephanie Harrington is stuck in a seemingly dead end job working as a maid in a high class hotel in Manhattan. That is until she meets a handsome politician who is looking to make a name for himself by gentrifying a run down Skeevo-led neighborhood. Or maybe I'm mixing this up with a movie I just watched? Lots o…

This is it, the final puzzle. Only a select few special readers can read through this entire issue and figure out which short-haired blonde in a winter coat is Johnny and which is Lindsey! Grab a copy, read along and let's figure it out together...if we can! Also: Rodstvow dies or kills everyone or something.…

Is it still a crossover if the crossover characters never show up in it?

Special ultra spectacular 100th episode of our podcast episode that is also spectacular! The Star Brand 17. Last we left this comic, Wilford Brimley was all powered up with Star Brand and ready to fix the world. We'll see if he can do it before Mac Browning decides that he's a dangerous civilian or that wet blanket Witness guy spoils things.…

With Creeping Crud six feet under now it's time for Justice to go after Quill with an old-fashioned paranormal team up! Justice and Playback are on the trail! While they're out hunting, will Quill make a move of his own? We also have a backup story involving the Medusa Web from PSI Force and a certain well-known leader from the 80's that isn't Reag…

Loads of new stories, character deaths and Justice with a cowboy hat! Many cool things happened in the comics between issues 19 and 25, and we will get to talk about it all. Favorite moments, where we think the comic is headed in the future, and so much more. Look out for part 2 where we cover the rest.…

Death--Where is Thy Sting? More Like: Brimley--Where is Thy Oats??? Oh man...so sure there is some kind of story about what happens if the star child removes the ability to die, but really you should listen and stick around to decide whether Steven or Andy have the better Wilford Brimley impression. Also, zombie Ken/Jim Shooter.…

If you love plot threads, you'll love this one. DDTeens robbing a store, Randy and the missing antibodies finally gets a resolution and Famileech (the weird mutant blob version of the family from The PITT. If that isn't enough for you, ESPeople (they're made out of people) and Nightmask too!. If this wasn't Mark Gruenwald I'd be worried there was t…

Is this a follow up and retelling of the Bootcamp brawl from PSI Force or a 3 part epic with basically every New Universe Character (except our beloved Kickers)? Well, as it turns out it's both!!! We get the DP7 Perspective on the fight with PSI Force, Keith Remsen being a Narc, the fate of Jenny "Spitfire" Swensen...*takes breath...AS WELL AS the …

They've been trapped in the clinic, on the run, running the clinic, dunked in The PITT and now, Drafted? Yep, It's looking like some of our favorite paranormals are in boot camp. I'm sure a barracks full of paranormals will go fine. Oh, wait! Pittbull is there too? This issue parallels the special "The Draft" but follows the DP7 group instead of th…

Up until now we got the feeling that Thomas Boyd has been through a lot in his life, but with this issue we really find out. Thomas has been an assasin for a rogue CIA agent, part of teh PSI Force team and now drafted and getting evaluated by an out of control Nightmask persona. It doesn't get much crazier than this! If that wasn't enough, a back u…

At long last, the Draft is here! This issue tells the story of three new paranormals who end up drafted into the government's new paranormal military squad. Meet Gridlock, a sad man who gets no respect but can make tubes from thin air (that should help). Also Metallurgust, who can control a chevy hubcap (seriously) and Blow Out, a PhD student who e…

And finally we return to bi-monthy Star Brand. In this issue we learn more about the motivations of Ken and Duck's space super star baby. Sure the issue is a bit weird, but we've got some great impressions and a back up story "Family Ties" that follows up on what happened to the family that Jenny Swensen rescued from the PITT.…

Death of the Clinic??? Say it ain't so Gruenwald, we like the clinic!! In this issue a lot of the clinic paranormals are split up and have run ins with the army and state stroopers. Let's hope everyone is ok. We also get a special backup story "CHOICES" with the return of one of our favorite characters from a canceled New Universe series.…

Canada, a peaceful place with soft rain, ample Tim Horton's and free healthcare. That is until Jake Travest (or Slash Hannigan) starts ripping the place a new one with the MAX Version 2 armor (forget that version 3 existed)!!! Jake and the MAX suit are after Wayne and Tyrone and neither historic hotels nor innocent civilians will slow him down. Als…

At the end of every season we spend some time reflecting on what we liked and what we didn't about the issues from this season. In this case we had a bunch of new directions for our New Universe books, some regular creative teams and some controversial retcons! What did we make of it all? Pop some ear buds in and have a listen!…
