Comic Books and Cold Ones
Comic Books and Cold Ones is where two friends don their alter egos as masters of comic book obscura while drinking whatever they got rolling around the bottom of the fridge. If you ever wanted to know who really is the worst cold based villain in Marvel, DC, and all other ‘verses or what it took to house train Lockjaw from the Inhumans, then quest no further. Get out your favorite 12-point articulating action figure and listen to us ramble through comic history, what we’re reading now, the latest Hollywood takes on it all, beer reviews, and a little Quasar. Yes, even Quasar! Grab a cold one ‘cause you will need it.

Big Swig Pub Crawl: DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths!
Ever get that feeling that you have other earth-selves wanting to horn in on your gig? If so, you probably need to look around and see if there’s some a’hole in a medieval-space cosplay costume screaming “The end….!”. Because if so, you just got your @zz DC Comics Crisis-ed! This time on the Big Swig Pub Craw KMac and Yek breakdown that very first DC company crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earth. Get out your Who’s Who volumes ‘cause you are going to need them as we drink our way through this one. And what better way to sum up a multiverse colipase, then letting KMac and Yek sum up their enumerated hits and misses:
5 Hits:
- Those dope Perez Covers: Name all those Villains!
- It’s EPIC: Blue Beetle coming in hot with the Shazam family!
- All the characters You best believe everyone’s elite scuba diver team, the Sea Devils, are in this $hiz.
- Them stakes were real: Don’t act like you didn’t cry when Supergirl died.
- That hero that always ruins things: Pariah!!! Hopefully, there’s a Bizaro Pariah.
5 Misses:
- Lots of odd panels: How anorexic can Perez make these panels?
- This is the big bad?: How is there an Anti-Monitor before a Monitor? Why does he have metal nose beard dreads?
- Not that bad: Multiverse collapsing? Meh, look dinosaurs in Metropolis.
- If this doesn’t work, then we will do this, and then maybe this: Ah? Just put Castle Grayskull in space.
- Why you do that?: No more Barry Allen for 2 decades. Rough, bro.
