Inks & Issues – Details, episodes & analysis

New Years Even of 2016, New York City, Times Square… sure it sounds great on paper, but not when a maniac shows up and starts slashing people up! Four years and many murders later, two NYPD officers heading up the Maniac Taskforce are on the case. Faced with budget cuts, the mayor's obsession with his new automated train, and general apathy, they try to prevent further destruction in a world that has mostly moved on.

Join hosts Jonah Gregory and Kieran Bennett while they take a deep dive into Maniac of New York volume 1: The Death Train!

Parenting is tough even in the best of times. When the cyberpunk distopia you've been escaping for the last thirteen years suddenly shows up on your door, you might start to wonder how far you'll go to protect your kids. It's a tale as old as time as we review Dryad on this episode of Inks & Issues.

Full discosure, Justin Osterling is a friend of the show and a Geekly. We decided to review this comic a while back and he did not know we were doing it.

We're back again with Ryan Santos from Torchlit Tavern to finish up on Far Sector!

Things are really heating up in The City Enduring, and not just with the whole ‘murder' thing. Is Jo up to the task? Of course she is, she's amazing.

A Green Lantern?! In space?! Its more likely than you think. We're joined this week by the truly excellent Ryan Santos of Torchlit Tavern to chat about a brand new character added to the Green Lantern mythos.

A murder mystery, a city in space, and cultures unlike anything on earth. This one has it all!

What do you do when your franchise has been around a bit too long? Send them into space, of course! We can only assume that was the premise behind Josie and the Pussycats In Space's original cartoon run.

But lucky for us someone decided to dust off this old property, give it a modern feel, and completely mix up the genre on us. Was this weird experiment a success? Find out this week on Inks & Issues!

This week we break the mold for our GeeklyCon digital live show. Rather than reviewing a comic, we speculate on what other franchises would be like if they were given the Age of Apocalypse treatment.

But we couldn't do it alone. Pat Edwards, our friendly neighborhood AoA expert, joins us to speculate on what would happen if a major character dies before their time and how that would drastically change a franchise. Kingdom Hearts, Scooby Doo, Pirates of the Caribbean… nothing is off limits.

We are joined once again by Brittany Gregory, our resident Sailor Moon expert, to tackle part two of our discussion of the first story arc.

Can the Sailor Scouts finally band together and defeat the evil Queen Beryl? What about that guy who happens to look exactly like Tuxedo Mask that they keep running into. What's his deal anyway? And another thing, how did we all end up on the moon?

For the answers to all these questions and more, listen to this episode!

This episode Jonah and Kieran attempt to fill a massive gap in their pop culture knowledge. For their first experience with delving deep into the Sailor Mooniverse, they knew an expert on the subject would be required. 

Thankfully, Brittany is back to school them on the story and lore of Sailor Moon as we discuss the first story arc of the original series.

We're back baybeeeee!

Our long national nightmare is over… oh wait, it's not. But hey, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy some comics.

In The Way of the Househusband, we follow the misadventures of Tatsu, a feared yakuza boss nicknamed “The Immortal Dragon”. At the height of his influence he retires so that he can better support his wife Miku, a career woman.

Join Kieran and Jonah as we dive into this new ongoing series and see how a giant scary man can become the most supportive husband in all of comics.

What if, in Star Wars, Luke and Vader didn't kill Emperor Palpatine after all. What if he actually has been using techniques that some considered to be unnatural? What if… he was never really dead at all and was actually in a clone body this whole time?

No, we aren't talking about The Rise of Skywalker, we are discussing Dark Empire, a comic from 1991 that already covered that ground in a way at least one of us found much more entertaining.
