Join Mendte, Mashko, Baby Huey, and Mr. Maurer as they talk about the premiers of both the Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon, as well as the long-awaited premier of She-Hulk. To start things off we need to revisit the Dark Knights watch to see what else from Warner Brothers is on the Chopping block, namely Batman. Seems like the adult animated series may be headed to the same Ghaston Grey fate near the sea of Dorne. Maybe Sir Netflix or Lord Peacock may be the caped crusader's only hope.

SDCC Recap - Fireside Rebirth Issue 649
WOW! San Diego Comic-Con is usually incredible, but there was something different about this one. It was almost like a rallying cry. Marvel proving there is a plan and to let go of your phase 4 woes, and DC set out to prove they are bigger than both the Snyderverse and Ezra Miller. Join Mendte, Mashko, Maurer, and Ian a.k.a. Shucky to break down the biggest moments from this year's Con. From Marvel announcing Phase 5 and 6 of the MCU, including a bunch of new shows and movies like the Thunderbolts, Daredevil, and 2 new Avengers Films, to DC showing us a new look at both Black Adam and Shazam, while purposefully ignoring the Flash. Not to mention John Wick, Dungeons and Dragons, Spawn, Groot, and so much more. So start the car and head to the comic shop, while we bring you Hall H along the way.

SDCC Rumors - Deadpool, Hulk, X-Men, and More - Fireside Chats Issue 648
I think we need to start this issue off with an apology. Features tried to talk about San Diego Comic-Con and Marvel news and we were less than supportive. Now to be fair, at the time he didn’t know anything about what was coming, but we were less than supportive. He got the last laugh because these rumors are insane! Join Mendte, Mashko, and Maurer as they recap the insanity that will apparently happen at Hall H. From Deadpool updates, Hulk taking on the world, how Ms Marvel’s finale (queue nostalgic music) works with the supposed Inhumans rumors, Black Panther, Kang, a certain Fantastic Family getting a jawesome director, and so much more. Remember these are rumors, but even rumors are worth getting excited about if there is even the slightest chance they happen. Press play and get hyped.
