Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 12: Mother Panic #1 (2017)

No, gentle listener, this isn't the return of the Young Animal Gatherum...

This time out, I give a peek behind the curtain and tells the story about how a review he did on a site other than his own, managed to affect change on Chris is on Infinite Earths!

What happened when Chris received his first bit of clapback?  Well, lemme tell ya, It's a story of angry comments, curse words, appeals to motive, and over-reaction... with just a little bit of ranting about the current sensationalized comics reviewing "culture".  It's somehow even less provocative than it sounds!

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 9: Green Lanterns: Darkest Nights (2017)

This wasn't the episode you were supposed to be hearing today.

It was after randomly reading and reviewing this arc, that I began to question my "analytical integrity" when it comes to how I cover comics over at the personal blog.  This two-parter calls back to some pre-Flashpoint continuity... and I'm  not sure if that changed the way I "received" it... so much so, that I'm going to spend the better part of an hour raspily rambling about it!

Expect tangents about the continuity, numbered review scores, and USENET!

Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 10

It's so hard to say goodbye... and that's exactly what we do during this episode.  Two of our Young Animal pals draw to their conclusion this time around.  Carry on, Cave... See ya, Shade.  It's not a "forever farewell", however... because there's something called "Milk Wars" on the horizon.

In addition to sayin' ciao... we actually have a full line up!  That almost never happens!

Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 9

Our Young Animal revisit has officially reached "the staples"!  That's right, we are halfway through our planned 18-episode look at the pop-up imprint that could!

This week... It's really one'a them "Good News, Bad News" situations... ya see, after a few months... we finally get that next issue of Doom Patrol.  Thing of it is... it kinda smells like filler.  It looks great though... and gives us our Allred-fix, which is a good thing, since Bug! took the month off!

In addition to that issue of Doom Patrol, we will be discussing the penultimate issues of Shade and Cave... Mother Panic shows up too!

Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 8

Change is in the air for the plucky pop-up imprint that could (or, could it?).

Word on the street is that there's a hiatus on the horizon... of course, using our 2018-vision, we know what that's all about... however, in the Summer of 2017... we hadn't the foggiest idea what this might mean for our Young Animal pals!

Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 7

Stop us if you've heard this one before... We have no Doom Patrol today.

Hmm, since that might just stop you from checking out this episode, please forget we said anything!

Okay, all joking aside... this episode features discussions/reviews of the other four Young Animal books (including a Mother Panic storyline that we... liked?!), which originally aired as segments on the following episodes of the Weird Science DC Comics Podcast:

Episode 125 (05.28.2017) - Mother Panic #7

Episode 127 (06.11.2017) - Shade the Changing Girl #9

Episode 128 (06.18.2017) - Bug! The Adventures of Forager #2

Episode 129 (06.25.2017) - Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye #9

Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 4

Stop us if you heard this one...

Welcome to a Doom Patrol-less installment of the Young Animal Gatherum!  No worries though, we've got the rest of the line-up to keep us company... a couple of 'em twice!

Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 3

Helloooooo Dangerous Humans,

Today we bring you good news... and better news!

First the good news... this episode does include an issue of Doom Patrol.  The better news?  It does not include an issue of Mother Panic!  That there was a book your humble hosts, Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@acecomics) did not enjoy right out of the gate!

Greetings Dangerous Humans!
