Ep.20A: Comic Pull List, Batman/Catwoman Explained; + Moon Knight, & a new Horizon Zero Dawn game AND comic series!

Hello everybody! I hope you have time to relax over the weekend, or are able to find that time in the coming week. 

Today's "A" episode starts with the regular comic book pull list for the week, prefaced by my explanation of the Tom King Batman/Catwoman (Bruce/Selina) relationship as per how he's laid it out, and what we're learning in the 12-issue (plus one annual!) Batman/Catwoman series alongside artist Clay Mann. 

After the week's pull list, I go into discussion the recent official announcement of Oscar Isaac playing Marc Spector's Moon Knight! The self-titled show is meant to premier on Disney+ in 2022, and here I go over all the information we know so far, as well as a good deal of popular speculation. 

Finally, the episode wraps up with Horizon: Zero Dawn! The 2017 Game of the Year winner is finally back with a full-bodied sequel! This new story will take Aloy out west, to see familiar sights in ways we've never seen them before, and battle machines and animals she's never before encountered. Not only do we have that coming, we also have a second HZD comic series on the way! This second run will be called Horizon Zero Dawn: Liberation (as opposed to the first volume's Sunhawk title), and retains game-writer Anne Toole as series writer alongside a new team of creatives. While Sunhawk took place after the first game's story and mostly from the perspective of a new character, here I talk about what makes this new series different from the last--but just as exciting!

I'll be back for a regularly scheduled episode this Friday, June 4th! Until then, keep an eye out for my SAILOR MOON Podcast Special! Prefacing the upcoming Netflix Eternal movies, I'll be discussing the manga arc being used for inspiration, the original anime's version of the same arc, refreshing where we left off on Sailor Moon Crystal, and adding in my own experience with the format, and what makes this particular "retro" series still so cool today! That'll be out Thursday before I watch the movies, if you're interested! Otherwise, have an excellent week, and get sweaty about your hobbies!
