THN Gang Hang! | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Batman Family Solicits, Doomquest & MORE!
The legacy of Captain Benjamin Sisko!
Join former comic shop managers and lifelong comic fans Joe Patrick and Matt Baum for their Saturday Morning Gang Hang! Each week, the guys assemble with their loyal Listenerds on the THN Discord where they talk about the latest TV, movie, and comic book headlines, plus whatever else pops into their heads! Here are the Gang Hang topics for Saturday 2/7:
This week, the Gang dives into a packed slate of Gilded Age Gothams, Westeros previews, and the inevitable march toward the Year of Doom!
- The Batman Part II & Clayface: Matt Reeves is taking his sweet time with the Bat-sequel, and the standalone Clayface project has moved to October. We speculate on which version of Basil Karlo (or Matt Hagen?) we’re actually getting on the big screen.
- A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: We break down the latest on the Game of Thrones prequel. Are Dunk and Egg actually… likable? We discuss why these characters feel like a breath of fresh air for Westeros.
- Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: The Nerds look toward the 32nd Century to discuss the future of the Federation after “The Burn.” Is the franchise in good hands?
- DC March Batman Family Solicits: Gotham is getting a massive status quo shakeup. We discuss Cassandra Cain’s new metahuman blood powers in Tate Brombal’s ‘Batgirl’, Pamela Isley’s bloody ascent to Mayor in G. Willow Wilson’s ‘Poison Ivy’, and the return of the Joker in Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimenez’s ‘Batman’.
- Marvel’s Doomquest: Ryan North and Francesco Mobili are sending Victor Von Doom on a 10-part journey through time. Is this the ultimate hype-builder for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’?
- The Ultimate Creator Trade: The Gang plays GM and proposes hypothetical Marvel/DC creator trades we would love to see. Who goes to Burbank and who goes to New York?
If you love comics, superhero movies, and insider takes from a pair of former comic book retailing pros who still live in the longboxes, this show is for you. Come hang out with the Listenerds on our THN Discord — bring your hot takes, recommendations, and questions!
