Episode 90

In which the Off-Panelists lead them in easy and get picked off one-by-one, returning after a week away only to discover that their lives have remained pretty uneventful. Unless you count heart-stopping foot races to the local train station, hypothetical suicide attempts gone hilariously wrong, and being framed for murder, that is! Join the Sloth, the Southerner, and the Scotsman as they ceremoniously pop The Standard's Comixology cherry before giving their takes on the recently announced Agent Carter television series, CW's casting of The Flash in Arrow, and more! Featured in this week's episode are reviews of the Villain's Month tie-in issue for Swamp Thing, Image Comics' latest debut from writer Ales Kot in Zero, the start of a brand new arc within the pages of Thor: God of Thunder, a potentially controversial issue of Mark Waid's Daredevil, and a review of the first trade of Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Gray, among others. Remember to say uncle.

Episode 20

Not an April Fool's gag! Episode 20 of The Off-Panel Podcast is here, and it's jam-packed with enough content to leave your ears bleeding for days. Listen in as the crew are joined by the artist of John Lees' comic book, The Standard, Jonathan Rector - who gives fascinating insights into his previous work in the indie scene, his aspirations beyond ever working for the "big two", and just how much of a monstrous dickhole Mr. Lees is behind-the-scenes. Believe us when we say that we already knew.

Featured in this week's episode: Reviews of the latest New 52, two Vertigo titles that still dress to impress, a few Marvel, and an Image collection garnering praise. Following a lengthy Q&A session with Mr. Rector, he joins the crew as they react to a startling new movement that raises the question - "Is consistency in comics necessary?" And of course, the weekly questions. Speaking of Standard weeks...

Episode 12

In which the crew find that the tensions really ARE high, as they set off on the quest to record an epic-length episode that includes topics both seen and unforseen, struggling to prepare under the guidance of the show's weekly host by talking over him on several occassions, spiritedly debating whether or not filler is killer, tackling the "Watchmen" controversy head on, and making a siege of inappropriate jokes all along the way. One of us may suffer a stroke by the end of this episode.

Topics for this week include - reviews for DC's premier Dark titles, Marvel's only real dark title, and an Image book that's almost absurdly dark, aswell as DC's "Before Watchmen" announcement, creative team shifts and switches, and finally, taking in some live fan questions.

Episode 11

In which the crew's blessed trinity are reunited and good times are had all around, except for when one podcaster's first name continually becomes a subject of question. Following the confusion, the crew dives in with reviews of DC's heavy hitter team, a one-in-done that impressed a ton, two graphic novels based off of acclaimed properties, and the most disappointing return to form since John severed the heads of the only good would-be Oscar nominees. Special appearance by Apollo Creed!

Featured in this week's episode: Reviews of DC, IDW, and Indie shoutouts, fronting talk of heated creative differences at DC and Image, a highly publicized falling out in the attempt to create a new book, aswell as debate about miscellaneous media influence over storylines and characters.
