Major Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoilers here! So don't listen if you haven't seen it yet! At least don't listen to the second half! Rachelle and Dave both loved it. Also discussed: the trailers for Star Trek and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Henry Cavill's boring online gaming obsession, the definition of 'Mary Sue' and the extremely hot new Hot Toys Civil War figures that were unveiled this week (including one James B. Barnes).

Secret Wars #7 drops this week and there are still two more issues after that one! Meanwhile Marvel has been rolling out their All New All Different line-up for the past few weeks, despite the event that was supposed to introduce it all not being finished. It's just the latest in a long history of major comic book events that are plagued by scheduling issues and generally fall a little flat.

So Dave and Rachelle are talking about comic book events this week! Which ones worked, which ones didn't, which ones matter at all, etc.

Also on this episode they talk about Slave Leia, the arrest of a Winter Soldier cosplayer, and we talk about a whole bunch of great new comics that came out this week.

In celebration of the new CBS television series, Dave and Rachelle talk about Supergirl this week! We also talk about King Shark on The Flash, those ugly Suicide Squad images on the cover of Empire Magazine, the latest Alan Moore interview, and Rachelle watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier with the only person on Earth who didn't know the identity of the Winter Soldier.

Unfortunately we have some sound problems on this episode. We had to cut a chunk out, and you can find the highlights of that missing piece written out on the blog, and what is left has static noise in the background. We pick the episode back up with This Week in Winter Soldier, and you'll notice the static gets worse there. It does get better eventually. Sorry!

Also in this episode: the Star Wars trailer! Back to the Future Day! Jeb Bush creeping on Supergirl! Anthony Mackie endorsing Donald Trump! Bryan Cranston was in Halifax!

Good evening! [lightning crash] Welcome to this week's episode of DYING Between Wednesdays! It's almost Halloween so Dave and Rachelle are talking about spooky stuff for the next two episodes. Dave talks about the 31 horror movies that he is watching this month, and explains his long-standing love of horror and monsters. Rachelle explains her long-standing hatred of horror and monsters.

Also on this episode: Darwyn Cooke's new DC art book, a possible Y: The Last Man television series, The Twilight Children #1, a new Avatar comic (?!), and we can't help but make fun of yet another issue of Captain America: White.

Rachelle, creator of the comic book blog Living Between Wednesdays, and Dave, manager of the Strange Adventures comic shop in Halifax, Nova Scotia, share their love of all things comic book and super hero related.

This week Rachelle and Dave try to settle some comic book arguments that they NEVER want to hear again. Arguments like 'Superman is boring,' or 'Batman should have eyeballs.' And things get heated when they attempt to settle a very old score between them: Batman: Year Two. Dave thinks it's the best, Rachelle thinks it's terrible. It's the most important and timely debate of all time.

Also on this episode: We name Jeremy Renner's possible secret album, Rachelle loses her mind looking at photos of fans at Salt Lake Comic Con with Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans (together!), Dave recs a Prometheus hate blog, and Red Skull was almost called HOT FUDGE, you guys!

Bonus content on the blog as usual!

Dave and Rachelle talk about villains this week! We also talk about lots of other stuff, like the Booster Gold/Blue Beetle movie announcement, Stephen Amell "quitting" social media, Todd McFarlane's Twitter account being hacked, Captain America: White, and ohmygod is Jeremy Renner secretly working on an ALBUM?! In This Week in Winter Soldier we talk about Sebastian Stan's ZACK ATTACK. Oh, and Mitchell is back to offer his own thoughts on villains.

This week we talk about superhero costumes and we are joined by super awesome cartoonist, J. Bone! He's in Toronto, we're in Nova Scotia! It's super high tech! He's around for the whole show as we talk about the latest news and gossip, what we read this week, what Jeremy Renner is up to on Twitter, and, of course, our weekly super important segment, This Week in Winter Soldier. Rachelle thinks that segment should have been an hour long this week.

Then we talk about our favourite and least favourite super hero costumes for awhile because that's what cool people do on a Saturday night!

Oh, and Rachelle's 5-year-old son Mitchell joins the podcast to talk about his favourite costumes in a new segment that we're calling 'Hey, Guess What?' with Mitchell.

This week marked the (fantastic) end of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's incredible run on Daredevil. That got us thinking about other epic runs, and about how few of them have satisfying endings. It was a slow week for news, gossip and Winter Soldier, but we still manage to fill an hour. As always, there is bonus material on the blog.

Also in this episode, we give love to Jack Kirby and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, shake our heads at Jeremy Renner in the latest installment of the Renner Report, and talk about the Civil War promo art, J.

This week we welcome our very first guest, Sean Jordan, aka Wordburglar! It's a light news/gossip week so we get right into talking about what comics we are enjoying right now, the latest edition of the Renner Report, and, of course, all the latest Winter Soldier news.

Our topic this week is a double topic! First we discuss things other than super heroes that we either are, or are not, nerds about. Then we share some of our favourite stories from working in comic shops. As always, there is bonus material on the blog!

Dave starts this episode by reading Rachelle the written account of the Civil War trailer, which screened at D23 during her drive to Dave's house. Rachelle basically doesn't hear anything after the words 'your Bucky.'

We also talk about superhero friendships! Why we love them, which ones we love the most, and why they are so important to superhero storytelling.

Dave and I watched both the 2005 Fantastic Four movie and the new Fantastic Four movie and we share our thoughts on both.

This week we valiantly fill a full hour despite it being a very light week for both of our pull lists. There is also almost no comic book news or gossip, no Winter Soldier appearances in any comics, and Jeremy Renner didn't say anything dumb (that we know of) all week. We still bring you an entertaining episode in which Dave complains about Marvel's system for ordering variant covers, and Rachelle expresses concerns about the construction of the new movieverse Avengers HQ. And in the second half we talk about our favourite comic book crossovers!

We watched Ant-Man on Thursday and recorded this episode on Friday! It's crammed full of spoilers! Rachelle loses her mind over the end credits scene, and treats Dave to a detailed review of Magic Mike XXL. We also discuss the Batman vs Superman trailer, and Jesse Eisenberg's dumb Comic Con comments. Plus, X-Men: Apocalypse, Hayley Atwell's Dubsmash battle, and, oh yeah, a little bit about actual comic books.

It's San Diego Comic Con week so we talk about some of the many announcements from the big show. We also discuss Arthur Suydam's public shaming as a less-than-gracious convention guest. Later on Dave and I relate some of our own stories from attending comic cons. All this plus our thoughts on some of the latest comics, including Archie #1 and Strange Fruit #1. And, as always, Rachelle brings you all the important Winter Soldier news.

On this episode, in celebration of Canada Day, we talk about Canadian characters and creators! We just barely scratch the surface! There is also a lot of news and gossip this week, prompting us to gush even more about Jason Aaron. We also consider Chris Pine as Hal Jordan, barely care about a Ben Affleck-directed Batman movie, and Rachelle is embarassed for Anthony Mackie's obsession with finding Chris Evans the perfect woman.

Also, Rachelle watched The Covenant just before recording this episode, so you are going to hear about that.
