When George Lucas created Star Wars he ignited the largest fandom in the world. Star Wars movies, toys, comics, books, video games and more dominated pop culture decades. Why would Disney want to destroy that?Because by all accounts that exactly what Leslye Headland and her Acolyte series intends to do. A final blow to a once thriving fandom that needs hope, rather than another reminder that Disney hates them. Even George Lucas proteges like Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni appear to want his vision for Star Wars dead. Wes and Aaron Sparrow explain How Leslye Headland and Disney plan on finishing off the Star Wars brand for good. The Acolyte created to destroy George Lucas and Star Wars.

It's only been a month and a half since comic creator Ed Piskor committed suicide. But this week we've all been reminded comics will never change. Days and weeks like this make me hate comic books. The fact that the Eisner nomination committee are placing Ed Piskor and one of the people he named in his suicide note up for awards in 2024 is truly devastating. But in reality nobody with any real power or sway in comics, outside of Mark Millar, seemed to even care about Piskor's suicide. Wes breaks down how Alex De Campi being nominated alongside Ed Piskor for an Eisner is making him feel. Days like this make me hate comic books.

Marvel Studios execs Kevin Feige and Louis D’Esposito are talking to media outlets about their recent failures. Bat still manage to make themselves look like imbeciles. Claiming the MCU is now the underdog after taking a little hit. Following up the most successful movie in history with a string of box office bombs and terrible television is a straight up catastrophe. It's also apparent Kevin Feige and Louis D’Esposito are unaware why MCU fans actually turned their backs on their favorite shared movie universe. Wes sets the record straight on Kevin Feige's enormous string of failures in the MCU. Marvel Studios admit failure, still look like imbeciles.

Marvel Comics are utilizing a bold new strategy for their X-Men relaunch. Tom Brevoort is going to continue directly out of the Krakoan Era but just do a bunch more. The initial list of 9 new X-Men comics seemed far too big. But Brevoort recently disclosed there will be another 3 or 4 series during X-Men From the Ashes. That's not the only insanity Brevoort revealed during an interview with AIPT for X-Men Monday. Wes and Dok breakdown Brevoort's recent AIPT interview and explain why this is all worse than we initially feared. Marvel Comics bold new X-Men strategy, the same but more.

Recent Rasmussen polling explains why the Disney brand is failing left and right. Pandering to the alphabet mafia and politics kills family brands. Polling results show Americans overwhelmingly want the Disney brand to return to wholesome family entertainment. And to stop forcing their LGBTQ agenda into shows and movies for children. Wes explains how Disney broke the MCU, Lucasfilm, Pixar and Disney animation in a matter of months. Disney kills brand pandering to alphabet mafia and politics.

DC Comics have more than just Absolute Power on the horizon. DC announced relaunches for both Gotham City Sirens and DC Vs Vampires. Unfortunately, as is the case with most DC Comics titles now, there isn't any writing talent associated with either book. Leah Williams gets another chance to fail with Gotham City Sirens. Matthew Rosenberg gets another opportunity to do what he does best, bore readers. Wes breaks down 2 upcoming DC Comics miniseries and asks the important question, "How do they keep getting work?" DC Comics relaunch Gotham City Sirens and DC Vs Vampires.

CBR are claiming DC and Marvel aren't giving females heroes and writers a shot in 2024. And that adding more diversity in comic books will tap the female audience and reduce violence and conflict in the real world. Of course, there's no actual data or studies backing up the claim that women would read superhero comics if they were more female-centric. Or that sharing more diversity in fictional universes translates to more peaceful people worldwide. But that isn't the point. Men have something they enjoy and now feminist SJW's need to take it away. Wes loses his mind reacting to CBR's recent article about American comics letting female superheroes and writers down. Insane assumptions about diversity and comic books.

Marvel Comics Wolverine Sabretooth War limps to its finale in Wolverine #49. How did Marvel break an event that started out pretty darn fun? Dueling narratives and ideas from Sabretooth War's 2 writers; Ben Percy and Victor LaValle. It's clear Percy wanted to tell the most brutal Wolverine story ever, while LaValle wants to make a commentary on the prison system with Sabretooth. Something he started 2 years ago that got 2 comics prematurely cancelled because they were boring. Now fans are stuck with a lame Wolverine Sabretooth event about nothing interesting. Wes and Dok review Wolverine #49 and describe just how far this series and event are falling down the stretch. Wolverine Sabretooth War stopped being fun or good.

One of the real issues X-Men fans have with Marvel Comics new relaunch is the lack of good creative talent. Especially the volume of bad comic writers is the X-Men demise waiting to happen. The final hope many X-Men fans had was the writer of Wolverine. Turns out hopes are a fools game for Marvel Comics fans. Saladin Ahmed is writing Wolverine in X-men From the Ashes and Mark Russell is writing X-Factor. Wes breaks down the new writers on Wolverine and X-Factor and explains why this is the worst case scenario for X-Men fans. X-Men demise, the deadly grip of bad creative talent.

Fans of Pamela Isley were in for a shock in Poison Ivy #22. DC Comics kill Poison Ivy off in her own book trying to take down the Floronic Man. We all know comic book deaths don't last and DC Comics had a bigger reason to kill off a longstanding villain. They want to make Poison Ivy into a hero like Harley Quinn. Because that's worked out so well for Harleen Quinzel. Wes breaks down the details of Poison Ivy's death and explains what DC are really doing. DC kill Poison Ivy for the dumbest reason ever.

Marvel Comics Blood Hunt kicks into full gear this week with 6-issues dedicated to superheroes fight vampires. While there are some high moments in Spider-Man, the gimmick wears out its welcome fast. It's clear reading 5 or 6 horror themed Marvel Comics a week for 3 months straight is unsustainable. Not to mention the stories are already not matching up. Thankfully Image Comics step up in a huge way and deliver 5 great comics to review this week. And DC Comics Kneel Before Zod finally becomes the comic fans were hoping for. Wes and Drew explain why Blood Hunt is already a mess and recommend 6 awesome comics to read. Blood HUnt wears out welcome fast and comic book recommendations.

There are a lot of qualities modern comic pros can learn from legend Herb Trimpe. Despite giving Marvel the best 30-years of his life, they fired him in one of the most brutal ways imaginable. At 56, Herb Trimpe was jobless and looking for a new lease on life beyond comic books. His story of resiliency and overcoming adversity is something that should inspire us all in hard times. Wes talks about Herb Timpe's experience of being fired after 30-years of legendary service and what we can learn about resiliency. Legendary lessons, what comic pros can learn from this icon.

The more ideas the comic book media offer to help fix Marvel and DC the more it becomes clear they want to murder superhero comics. This week CBR suggested DC go all-in on slice -of-life comics. Despite all the evidence that DC and Marvel fans don't buy them. CBR writer David Harth claims the strong reaction to the Trinity backup stories in Wonder Woman are proof superhero fans want more slice-of-life. The problem is nobody is talking about those stories and nobody is buying Wonder Woman to read them. Harth even points to several past slice-of-life comics as proof we need more. Too bad all of them were cancelled early due to low sales. Wes and Aaron discuss the latest stupid take from David Harth and CBR and set the record straight. Comic book media want to murder superhero comics.

DC Comics are making a play for an underserved audience with this weeks Harley Quinn Annual. Which was made for neurodivergent cat ladies who have zero interest in Harley Quinn, DC Comics or comic books in general. To bait this audience DC brings in Erika Henderson to write and illustrate one of the dumbest versions of Harley Quinn in the history of DC Comics. Wes and Dok review Harley Quinn Annual 2024 and remember why Marvel fans cheered when Erika Henderson left the first time. DC made a comic for 28 year old neurodivergent cat ladies.

Disney is not done trying to turn mens entertainment into girl franchises. Marvel Studios are reportedly still pushing the X-Men as their premiere girl team in the MCU. This comes after a string of MCU failures featuring female superheroes. And goes against the X-Men since the day they were created. The X-Men have always featured a diverse array of male and female characters. More rumors suggest Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios are planning to do Avengers Vs X-Men before Avengers Secret Wars. Wes breaks down the latest rumors that X-Men is becoming a girl franchise in the MCU and AVX is coming. Marvel pushing X-men as girl team, setting up Avengers Vs X-Men.

Last year famed comic book retailer Chuch Rozanski plainly stated, "the Direct Market periodical business is in a death spiral right now." But a recent comics interview with Marvel President Dan Buckley, he flat out denies there are any issues with comics or the direct market. Buckley's interview with ICv2 creates the question, is Buckley stupid or is he lying? Wes and Dok tear Dan Buckley's recent interview apart and add some much needed context and truth to the conversation. Marvel lead Comics death spiral with shear stupidity.

I hope you're ready to see someone's head explode. Jim and Wes try unweave the most convoluted story in DC Comics History, Nightwing Annual 2024. Bea the Pirate Queen was already a convoluted idea but this week DC Comics and Travis Moore take it to an epic new level. There have never been more twists, turns and double-crosses in a single comic issue. NIghtwing Annual 2024 will go down in the annals of DC Comics history as spectacularly terrible. Wes and Jim from Weird Science try not to lobotomize themselves explaining what actually happens in Nightwing Annual. Unraveling the most convoluted story in DC Comics history.
