Zone 4
Four friends engage in in-depth comic related discussion and all around good, fun conversation focused on the world of comics.
 

The crew returns - minus John, who was MIA* - for the last episode of 2013 as they each highlight the best comics, TV shows, movies and more for the year in their opinion.

Then it's on to a single Facebook Shout-Out, followed by some headlines "from the cutting room floor" as they are all film related.

After that, it's Topic Time with Mark Waid's Green Hornet #8.

And then to wrap it all up, some plugs and one final tease for the 250th!

*John, we learned later, was very, very sick. He's better now.

Thank you ALL for all your support throughout the year and the years before!

The crew returns minus Gordon, who had some mishaps with a Doctor and some clothes... but the guys rally and almost have a fourth (before locking him in the closet...). So first up, they discuss some headlines and all that jazz.

Then, a shout-out, followed by a discussion of the first two issues of I.M.A.G.I.N.E. Agents from BOOM! Studios. Yes, folks, Brant makes John read a book with a giant teddy bear, and he likes it!

Finally, some plugs and teases for the 250th.

And that topic? Let's just say it revolves around comics... and candy!

The crew returns to discuss highlights for each of them out of Marvel and DC solicitations for December 2013. From Forever Evil and Inhumanity, to Sandman and Captain America and much more!

But first, it's headlines covering comics and film with some interesting items, scratching your head items, and downright stupid items.

Plus, new Facebook shout-outs! You'll want to hear this week's! And of course, plugs.

(WARNING: Some Explicit Language in first part of the show
(the "bleep" machine was broken, sorry, folks)).

The crew returns with some headlines that spin off into a mini topic before they even get the show started. It's a bunch of film casting news, starting with Ben Affleck, going to Bryan Cranston, then Elizabeth Olsen and James Spader. Plus, the crew's thoughts on the New 52 Lobo, Bluewater's new intiative and more.

Then, it's time for another issue of Mark Waid's Green Hornet. Five issues in, is the crew still digging it, or has it fallen off the rails?

And there are new shout-outs again this week! Plus some plugs.

So grab a slab of bacon, fold out your theater chair, and get a life and stop threatening Affleck's (or any actor's for that matter). It's time to enter the Zone!

The crew returns to shine the light on some books and online comics they are enjoying that are not from the "big two," Marvel and DC. Everything from Dark Horse, to Thrillbent, to Action Lab, to Bottled Lightning and more!

But before all that, there are some headlines. Some of them are pretty heavy, like the Kevin Maguire and Kirby Heirs situations. And some are light, like an actor interested in taking over Iron Man, and Groot being cast. And the crew has some words for Dan DiDio... again!

And there are new shout-outs again this week! Plus some plugs.

So hunker down with some bacon bits, put aside your mainstream books, and get ready for some indie goodness. It's time to enter the Zone!

The crew returns to discuss who comics are actually written for. This was spurred by the recent story of Paul Pope being told DC writes for 45 year olds, so we made it our topic!

Of course, before that we get to some headlines, including a marriage, a box office failure, and a certain batch of 3D covers that you may not be getting.

The crew returns with a special all-pulp episode! Sadly, John was absent due to being carried off into the jungle by Grodd, Congorilla and Bleep for a birthday party (John likes monkeys), and he contracted some gorilla flu. But the rest of the crew pressed on.

First up, Captain Ron filled us in on his adventures at PulpFest 2013 with some special contemporary shout-outs.

Then, the guys covered two pulp inspired comics written by Mark Waid: The Rocketeer/The Spirit: Pulp Friction #1, and Green Hornet #4.

And for the main topic, it was all about the BBC/PBS Sherlock television series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.

And there are new shout-outs this week! Plus some plugs.

The crew returns with a special celebratory episode. It's Christmas in July, so break out the tinsel and gingerbread men! The holidays have come early!

We do talk about a few news items coming out of San Diego Comic-Con to kick things off, and sidetrack into a few more and some side discussions.

There are shout-outs, but you'll have to listen to find out who's on the naughty list, and why!

Plus there's a contest with a prize at the end of the show!

As for topics, we actually have two. We discuss some classic Christmas-themed comics, ranging from touching stories to completely absurd stories.

Then we talk about what we'd love to see under our tree come the actual holiday.

The crew returns after some computer problems resolved to cast some DC ancillary movies! Each cohost casts a different DC movie giving character and casting choices, as well as a brief synopsis of the films.

But before all that, there are some headlines. Ranging from DC solicits, to DC live action and animated movies, to Marvel's new initiative, indie publishers, new columns at CR and more, there's a lot to talk about!

And of course, more plugs and shout-outs - though John's impassioned plea for NEW ones to shout-out stands out this week.

It's a ton of fun in this nearly two-hour episode. So sit back, grab some bacon and relax. It's time to enter the Zone!

Welcome back to the Hall of Toys!

Brant is back from the Fortress of Solitude! So he and Chris get to dive into another slew of toys, video games and board games to discuss this time in the Hall!

After getting reacquainted with each other and the audience, the guys jump right into Toy Talk. Not a large selection this time, but still some cool offerings to discuss. And before closing out, they tease what's to come on the next episode, which should prove to be toy heavy.

Then it's time for the Topic of the episode: Open World vs. Finite World in video gaming.

The topic leads right into Game Gab, as they guys spend some time talking State of Decay, the new open world zombie survival game from Undead Labs. They also talk about the Mario Kart tournament Brooklyn Boyz is putting on, PS4 launch titles, and new releases upcoming for July. And to close out the segment, its another tease, this time for the episode after next.

Next up is TableTop Talk as they shine the light on several board and card games from Kickstarter, Cryptozoic and other places as well. Favorite game for the guys out of this grouping? Probably The Big Fix, a noir card game, which sounds really cool!

And... Action Figure! is what's left as they each pick a figure or grouping of figures to discuss.

They then bring the show to a close as it's one more episode on the shelf in the Hall of Toys!

The crew returns in full to celebrate the holiday and catch up with each other's recent goings on. After congratulating a buddy, the guys dive into some headlines.

A couple of sidetracks later, and the guys look at the latest issue of Mark Waid's Green Hornet, which doesn't illicit as much fervor and excitement as previous issues for most of the crew.

Plus, Facebook Shout-Outs, plugs and more!

Welcome back to the Hall of Toys!

Chris is back as his brother Mike fills in for Brant.

They talk about all the news and announcements coming out of the biggest gaming event of the year, including what they're looking forward to, what they thought of this year's show and much, much more.

Zone 4 #244: Comic Movie Days Numbered?

The crew returns to discuss the current and future state of comic book movies. How many more years will we get them, and is there a point the fad just fades away or jumps the shark?

Before that, though, we get into some discussion about ageism, talk several interesting headlines, and give a final reminder on voting for the Zonies.

Of course, more Facebook shout-outs, plugs and all that good stuff.

And we talk about two brand new Zone 4 spinoff shows in the works!
