Plus, we reveal details about Joss Whedon’s new project, and Matt completes the final act of his Soda Shaq experiment!

War Rocket Ajax #165: Cool Spiky Hair with Marcus To

Ajax165

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we’re chatting with Marcus To, the artist of the upcoming Cyborg 009 reboot! We get into a discussion of how Ishinomori’s original affected his work, who his favorite cybernetic organism (or cybernorg) is, and what exactly is the deal with that little floating baby. Plus, a metric ton of plugs for The Supervillain Field Manual!

Movie Fighters Episode 4: Tekken (And Movie Fighters Volume 1!)

Tekken01

This week, Movie Fighters is back as Matt and I take on 2010’s Tekken, a movie we’d never heard of based on a game that I’ve never played. Surprising absolutely no one, it is absolutely terrible, but what’s even weirder is that it feels like a synthesis of every movie we’ve watched, going back to the ComicsAlliance days — and you can hear us explain exactly why, for one thin dollar.

Plus, there’s a special bonus today! If, for some reason, you haven’t jumped on the Movie Fighters train, we’ve put our first four episodes together in an album so that you can grab ’em all at once, along with an all-new extra! If you’d like to hear what the shows are like before you buy ’em (or even if you’re a regular listener who wants a bonus episode), Matt and I watched the first episode of the 1995 Street Fighter animated series and recorded a free mini-episode about it! You can grab it from the “Vs. Fighting Games” album as a single or as part of the whole album, and if you want to watch along with us, the cartoon is up on YouTube, or you can catch up with it at the Movie Fighters tumblr!

Thanks for listening, and don’t worry: We’ll be back in two weeks with another bad movie, and this time, it’s going to be a delight.

War Rocket Ajax #164: We’re The Guinea Pigs with Chris Roberson and Allison Baker

Ajax164

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we’re celebrating the one-year anniversary of Monkeybrain Comics, the publishers of Subatomic Party Girls and a bunch of other, far less important books. To mark the occasion, we’re joined by reigning War Rocket Ajax Intercontinental Champion Allison Baker and her husband to talk about what they’ve accomplished, their rapid rise to success, and where they hope to go from here!

War Rocket Ajax #163: Part of the Patriarchy with Jamal Igle

Ajax163
This week on War Rocket Ajax, we’re thrilled to welcome Jamal Igle to the show! You’ve seen his work on Supergirl, Firestorm and a ton of other comics, and now he’s gearing up for the release of Molly Danger, a creator-owned, Kickstarter-funded series coming out from Action Lab. We talk to him about that, and about the controversy he stirred up when he tried to draw a Supergirl comic without a bunch of upskirt shots.

Plus, Matt and I get strangely loopy for the first half and end up talking about my new Nikes. It’s a weird show.

Movie Fighters Episode 3: The King of Fighters

KOFPoster

 

Three episodes in, and this one almost broke us.

The King of Fighters is one of the all-time worst movies we have ever watched, so if you enjoy listening to two guys getting unexpectedly mad about half an hour into a podcast, this is the one for you. Over the course of the show, we share memories of dropping quarters into Neo Geo machines at Pizza Inn, the lasting appeal of Mai Shiranui, and why Ray Park should maybe never have a speaking role in a film. Sorry, Ray. Plus, we try to sort out just what the hell is happening in this movie and why, and (spoiler warning) we fail pretty miserably.

You can grab this episode (and our first two, where we tackle Double Dragon and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li) right now for only $1 each! That’s almost 90 minutes of comedy (or at least our suffering) for a buck! Pick it up and let us know what you think!

War Rocket Ajax #162: Hertz Rental Car Ridin’ Listener Questions Special

Ajax162

After last week’s HeroesCon Sketchbook Special, we are back at the microphones for this week’s episode of War Rocket Ajax, and boy howdy, do we have a lot to discuss. We talk about the shocking return of ComicsAlliance, the surreal crowd interaction of HeroesCon and RepubliCon, new apartments, comedy shows, and all manner of other things, and that’s before we get into Listener Questions! It’s an all-Chris-and-Matt special where we tackle your missives, and you can listen to it right here:
