Since 2016, a podcast that reads, reviews & renders judgment on the great comics of yesterday & today. Hosted by Kevin and Curt. Curt manages this feed. Protect Trans Kids comicscanon.com
This time on The Comics Canon, it's visiting hours at the jail for giant monsters with "Kaijumax Season 1: Terror and Respect!" Does Zander Cannon's kaiju/prison mash-up earn a harsh sentence or leniency for good behavior? And "The Lizzas of Oz" -- is that anything? soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...
Episode 267: Kaijumax Season 1 – Terror and Respect

This is the best moment in the run of the Marvel Godzilla comic, and one of my favorite Godzilla moments in any medium.

Some of my best national by-lines were in Salon, including a review of 'From Hell.' Sad news.
Salon.com's team had an amazing election night. It is truly so fun, such an honor, to work with such smart, passionate, deeply funny people. This morning, we were informed the publication was closed, effective immediately. Here's the official company message. www.salon.com/2026/11/05/g...
Listen up, megafauna: next time (11/11) on The Comics Canon, big monsters go to the Big House in Zander Cannon's 'Kaijumax Season 1: Terror & Respect.' What starts as a snarky mash-up of kaiju and prison genre tropes becomes a surprisingly knotty satire of the incarceration system!
Remembering the "My Blue Heaven" issue of Alan Moore's 'Swamp Thing,' for some reason.
When I check Bluesky again in an hour, I would really like half my feed to be posts of the SICKOS image.
Coming up on the podcast we'll be reviewing the first 6 issues of 'Kaijumax' by Zander Cannon. I found this Feb 2026 Comics Beat interview with Cannon about protesting ICE abuses in Minneapolis. Good reading ahead of Election Day. www.comicsbeat.com/interview-ca...

It's no trick but a real treat as Dan McCoy of @flophousepodcast.com returns to The Comics Canon for a Hallow's Eve look at Charles Addams' kooky, spooky "Addams Family" cartoons and Edward Gorey's darkly comic masterpiece, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies!" soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...
Episode 266: The Gashlycrumb Tinies and The Addams Family (With Dan McCoy)
On this episode, Halloween season comes to a spine-tingling conclusion with a look at Edward Gorey’s macabre masterwork The Gashlycrumb Tinies and Charles Addams’s altogether ooky Addams Family cartoo

HYDE AND GO TWEET (1960)
On October 6, 1933 the #MarxBrothers signed a new contract with #MGM. #Zeppo used it as an excuse to finally quit the act after 15 years, after which he became a successful agent and less successful gambler #CoveringHistory
Next time (10/28), we celebrate the lighter side of spooky season with two darkly comedic classics: Charles Addams' original "Addams Family" cartoons from the New Yorker, and Edward Gorey's morbid alphabet, "The Gashlycrumb Tinies!"
And that's when the acid kicked in.
Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now
"Whatever you're scared of, that's what it looks like." On our latest episode we peer through our fingers at a horror comic classic, 'Saga of the Swamp Thing' 25-27: "The Monkey King" by Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, John Totleben and Tatjana Wood! soundcloud.com/the-comics-c...

I’m beyond over these photoshop “get the whole cast in there” posters
That new Doomsday poster is the ugliest thing I have EVER seen my god. It looks like the box art for a PS2 tie-in that came out like three years after the movie and is called like “Avengers Retribution: Cosmic Destiny” that got a Wii port with shitty waggle controls.
Counter-proposal: Mark Hamill as the voice of Blaine the Mono?
I fantasy cast (shudder) this thing two years ago pulling from his regulars…
I feel like someone should make a horror movie about marauding pumpkin-ghost from the Newport cigarette ad. "It's alive! Alive... with pleasure!"
"And at 5:32 p.m., you will be impaled on a swordfish." Saga of the Swamp Thing #25
Next time (10/14), we celebrate spooky season with a fearful arc from possibly the greatest horror comic run of all time, 'Saga of the Swamp Thing' 25-27: "The Monkey King" by the dream team of Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, John Totleben and Tatjana Wood!
