Pull Party: A Comic Book Podcast
A weekly conversation about all things comics. We review the pulls of the week, what we are reading, and what we are excited for. Paul is a seasoned comic nerd and Robert is just now living his best life in comics. Just as a fair warning, you probably shouldn't listen around your kids. :) For all things Pull Party! www.pullpartypodcast.com Join the Discord! https://discord.gg/mpcNQvMNs9
Episodes
Paul and Robert are back for Pull Party Episode 41, and apparently Batman's cape has become a matter of SCIENCE.
We kick things off with a heated argument over Kevlar, John Wick's ridiculous bulletproof suit, Batman's cape, and whether comic book physics deserves to be taken seriously. Spoiler: it absolutely does when Robert has a book about the science behind Batman sitting on his shelf.
Then we get into Lanterns episodes 4 and 5, i...
Episode 40, bitch. And somehow Paul actually got a Lanterns theory right, so naturally we're going to spend entirely too much time talking about it. We also tear into the new Teen Titans #1, fall in love with Wildcard, question why Red Hood is apparently doing freelance detective work in Seattle, and discuss whether Nightwing is just getting dragged into everybody else's bullshit.
Then we've got Doom Patrol, Batman, Bloodland, Dispa...
We bought the Bangarang Mystery Boxes from Lost Boy Comics and immediately discovered the one thing you absolutely DON'T want from a mystery box: the exact same comic!
We also get way too excited about pool noodles, talk Lanterns, Tyler Kirkham, CGC signatures, Fireborn, and somehow spend a ridiculous amount of time discussing Rob Liefeld's ongoing beef with the word “dude" and Absolute Batman.
We sat down with comic writer and all-around comic nerd Austin Allen Hamblin to talk about his new book Big Guns, Stupid Rednecks.
Austin talks about growing up in rural Iowa, discovering comics through Fantastic Four and Jack Kirby, meeting Phil Hester when he was only ten years old, and eventually going from asking Hester how to make comics to actually working with him. That's about as full-circle as it gets.
We also get into the 1...
Rob Liefeld is catching strays, Cobra apparently has an HR department, and we're somehow doing forensic accounting on an '80s G.I. Joe cartoon. We also talk graded comics, Absolute Batman homage covers, Big Guns Stupid Rednecks, Poison Ivy, and the horrifying realization that living in Gotham would make your insurance company spontaneously combust.
What We Screamed About This Week:
00:00 ...
We have two announcements, a Dunkin' rant, a comic book confession booth, and approximately seventeen reasons to be exhausted by Marvel. Pull Party Episode 37.1 is here and somehow the first ten minutes are about tipping.
We're talking Chattanooga Comic-Con, Austin Allen Hamblin, D23, Vision Quest, Ghost Rider, X-Men, Doctor Doom, Lanterns, Jon Stewart, Hal Jordan, and the comics we're actually reading. Then we spend a ridiculous am...
Moon Knight is an A-HOLE
Deadpool is depressed. The moon is apparently f*cked. Moon Knight betrays his entire team. Batman punches an assassin directly into next Tuesday. And somehow Skipping Stone is the name Marvel settled on for a Toad/Blob descendant.
Yep. It's another Pull Party.
We're talking Deadpool #7, Bishop #2, Moon Knight #7, Batman #12 by Matt Fraction, Power Rangers: Green #1, upcoming comics, ridiculous variant covers, ...
LARPers be LARPing!Comic books are for everybody... unless you ask the internet.
This week we're ranting about comic book gatekeeping, "fake fans," rage bait, and why people can't just let other people enjoy things. Along the way we somehow end up talking politics in comics, Absolute Batman, comic conventions, collecting, and the never-ending quest to spend way too much money on funny books.
Robert goes to the world's largest G.I. Jo...
We sat down with comic artist Bob Quinn and spent a shocking amount of time discussing a mutant that poops ice cream. Then we accidentally had one of the best creator interviews ever, talking X-Men, Black Cat Social Club, leaving the video game industry, unfinished passion projects, nostalgia for arcades, and why sometimes the dumbest joke you draw in a laundromat refuses to die. Comics are weird, man... and we wouldn't have it any...
Pull Party #34 | Gambit: Wanted #1 / Batman of Two Worlds / Superman: Father of Tomorrow #3 / Ordained: The Machine
San Diego Comic-Con dropped enough announcements to fry our collective comic book brains, but first we argued about whether a desert is technically half a beach, opened way too many blind bags, and learned Ninja Turtles started life by lovingly making fun of Daredevil. Then we yelled about Gambit's fashion choices, God...
Because Paul had the AUDACITY to not include Storm in his top 10 mutants, we sat down with Zayne to draft an All-Star line up of Marvel's best.Who's team wins?
Paul nearly dissolved his face with a Sour Punch Straw and Red Bull combo because apparently we listen to the comments now. After surviving that terrible decision, we argued about Absolute Deathstroke, accidentally connected half the Absolute Universe together like conspiracy theorists with a corkboard, declared Dork is still criminally good, and somehow ended up talking about Batman bullying KGBeast for like twenty minutes. Normal...
This week starts with Twizzlers as drinking straws and dives headfirst into Batman traffic patterns, angry YouTube comments, Absolute Batman insanity, and Paul declaring war on scalpers (again) with the calm energy of a raccoon trapped in a vending machine.
Also, if you came here expecting reasonable comic book discourse... that's honestly on you.

We dragged Zayne Henderson into the madhouse to talk comics, content creation, Batman, Daredevil, collecting, and why discussion is so important among people who are different. Somehow this turned into one of the most wholesome conversations we've ever had... don't worry, Paul still made sure we couldn't monetize it.
You may ask yourself, "why do I care?" Honestly, that's a damn good question. But I will say this conversation is a g...
Paul created an entire Venn diagram just to explain why some Batmobiles are "long boys" and others are apparently just Hondas with trauma. Then things immediately spiraled into Batman movie arguments, comic speculation, and bronies get more cringeworthy... which honestly tracks for us at this point.

This week starts with a perfectly normal conversation about tongue twisters and somehow crashes directly into comic grading, crypto-bro speculators, Wonder Woman discourse, and the internet's unhealthy obsession with a mutant that poops ice cream. We also discover our audience is made up almost entirely of absolute gremlins and honestly... we couldn't be prouder.
