Listen to Everything Blows #8 right now:
Sleepwalkin’ pt 1 of 4!
Congratulations to Kaylie, who’s the winner of The Captains Close Up on DVD!!! It was a close battle but Kaylie inched into the lead with her witty and unusual reasons for loving Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Next up — after Nick Marino helps Ross Campbell work his new microwave — the guys chat about Star Trek: Voyager. Ross was in a serious Voyager slump until he finally watched the crazy episode that Nick told him about on the last podcast. Ya know, the one where Tom Paris and Captain Janeway have freaky hyper-evolved-salamander-human sex and give birth to a small litter of super-mutants before they’re rescued by the crew of Voyager.
Then it’s time for the main event… Sleepwalker! Ross and Nick discuss the first eight issues of this early 90s superhero series from Marvel Comics.
After a brief rundown of creator Bob Budiansky‘s comics resume, we dig into this bizarre series featuring some odd and memorable moments captured by Ross and some choice weirdness chosen by Nick.
The verdict so far? Though dated and awkward at times, Sleepwalker is a fun series that would be even better if it wasn’t plagued by silly character crossovers.
Next: We continue our dreamy discussion with Sleepwalker #9-16, including the Color Blindness four-part story arc.
