Listen "Deathmate"
Episode Synopsis
This month Sleeves and Galactosh travel back to the mid-ninties and examine what was almost the end of comics! Two relatively new upstarts fresh on the comic publishers block, Valiant Comics and Image Comics, collide in the crossover you never knew you didn't want! Now known in infamy as Deathmate. Messy incoherent plot? check. Hordes of derivative characters you've never heard of? Yup. Overhyped beyond what they could possibly deliver? Uh-huh. Poorly planned and crippled by delays? You betcha! An aftermath that sent shock waves through the industry and likely caused the closure of comic book stores? Sadly yes. An unmitigated disaster? Well.. that is what one of the creators called it.Join your courageous hosts as they try their best to enjoy this endeavour. Will they work out who the characters are and what's going on? What is it with all the adverts? Does Rob Liefield like snorkeling too much? Will they work out the punny title before the end of the podcast? Listen and learn the answers to all these questions and more as they revisit the car crash of a crossover that was Deathmate.CreditsDeathmate is a crossover between Image Comics and Valiant ComicsCreative talent: VariousHosts: Galactosh and SleevesEditing and production: Galactosh and SleevesEpisode art: Jim Lee and Bob LaytonMusic and stings: The VidiprinterLogo art: willnotcompute Hosted on Acast.
