To me my X-Peoples! This week we’re going all X! With the conclusion of season 2 of X-Men 97 and the casting announcements for the first batch of mutants in the MCU…. it’s time to talk X.

We’re back at last! Our July vacation is over, so now it’s time to talk all about the million or so comic movies and shows we missed this summer, and also the ones on their way (but also the ones that have been cancelled)! And we’ve got strict 5-minute timers to keep things on track! Supergirl! Spider-Man: Brand New Day! X-Men ’97! My Adventures With Superman! Batman: Caped Crusader! Spider-Noir!…

It’s time for yet another DRAMATIC READING! This time, we check in with everyone’s favourite DC hero, JOHNNY THUNDER (and his “pet genie” Thunderbolt!) as they face down the sinister scourges of disloyal butlers, heroin that makes you think you’re an ape, crime gangs, elaborate schemes to replace cement with pink sand, collapsing buildings, criminal masterminds with extremely obvious false…

Sometimes, good guys go bad. Sure, it happens! But, but! Sometimes, bad guys? They go good! I know, crazy, right? It’s called a face turn, and this week, we’re talking about some of our favourite face turns in comics, as well as racking our brains trying to find villains who HAVEN’T done it before and pitching them, because, as it turns out, it’s more common than you think! Plus, in the Warmup,…

The Mortal Kombat II movie came out… several weeks ago, apparently, but MK Fever is still raging at Zero Issues Central! We finally all saw the movie, so now it’s time to talk all about it! Does it hold up to the mighty 1995 Klassic? What characters and fights were a flawless fatality or a fatal blow to the series? And what of Karl Urban as Johnny Cage? And our favourite character, Cole Young!?…

_2026-05-20 · zeroissuespodcast@gmail.com (Bry Kotyk, Kyle Lees & Merk) · Zero Issues Comic Podcast_

Sometimes they aim big. A comic. A cartoon. A toyline. Video games. And sometimes that crashes like the Hindenburg. Failed Franchises! That’s what the boys are talking about this week. A slew of bad comics, mediocre toys and forgettable films. Some of them even had an ok aspect, but they just aimed too high. From Jim Lee’s Wildcats, to Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy and a few other gems (or crystals)…
