Though we have usually done a WrestleMania preview show, this year we decided to take a look at the whole 7-hour extravaganza after the fact, to run down the good, the bad and the Pitbull. Also we talk about that whole ComicsAlliance thing that happened.

We're back and ranking more stories for another month in our two-hour special!

Alex Segura isn't just the head of PR for Archie and writer of the new Archies one-shot. He's also the author of the Pete Fernandez series of crime novels, so we talk to him this week about comics vs. prose, murder fiction vs. idyllic Riverdale, Archie vs. noir protagonists, crossovers, portraying music in comics, and much more! Plus, we add some characters to the Panel President list!

This week, we're more than pleased to welcome returning guest Leila Del Duca and new pal Kit Seaton to the show to talk about their new Image Comics graphic novel Afar! We talk with them about fairy tales and myths, creating humanoid (and not so humanoid) animal creatures, the transition from art to writing, whether Steve Austin is a wrestler, the publishing format of all-ages comics and a whole lot more! Plus, we answer a probing listener question!

We're back from Seattle and ranking characters on this week's show! We take on some Superior Foes of Spider-Man, famous LLs and more!

Chris and Matt were at Emerald City Comic-Con in Seattle this weekend, where they recorded a live podcast with Charles Soule and Ryan Browne, co-creators of the Image Comics series Curse Words! We talk with them about wizards, the name Wizord, how their styles came together, cutting loose in a comic, coloring and much more! Plus, some surprisements!

You demanded it, so we're ranking Holy Terror in this month's story-ranking special! And eventually we get to some other stories.

A handful of personalities behind The Nerdy Show and the creative team of the maybe soon-to-be animated series Lightning Dogs join us this week! We talk to Cap, Doug and Tony about stumbling into the idea for the show, why animation is preferable in this case to comics, documenting the entire creative process, cartoon series from the '90s, David Bowie, animation distribution and so much more! Plus, we add a few new characters to the Panel President list!

Daniel Kibblesmith is a good friend of the show and writer of the upcoming Valiant High digital-first series from Valiant and ComiXology, so we're more than happy to have him back this week! We talk with him about high-school AUs in general, making the Valiant characters fit in a high-school setting, whether there's a world outside the school, and, of course, the Garfield convention we're all planning to attend later this year. Plus, we answer an oddly relevant listener question!

We're happy to welcome back Gregg Schigiel, writer of the Image Comics all-ages series Pix, to come on the show and talk about that series, but we're also very interested to ask him to recreate a trivia contest he did with Chris at a con a few years ago! We also discuss the market for all-ages comics, pitching comics to kids vs. adults, the inspiration for a superhero/Disney princess combo, and much more! Plus, we add a few grizzled characters to the Panel President list!

On this week's episode, we're welcoming the two editors--one from San Francisco, one from Iceland--of the new Not Forgotten anthology, which features public doman, Golden Age superheroes! We talk about the weirdest, most obscure characters from that period; working with creators all over the globe; being confused for people with the same (or similar names); Iceland's love of licorice, and much more! Plus, we take a pair of TV-focused listener questions!

It's a new year, and we're adding as many new stories as we can to the Ever Story Ever list as we can in two hours!

Chris is back from the high seas and we're ranking some characters! At least one big fat cat makes the list after lots of uncertainty, and several other favorites come up, too. Plus, hear about the Fan2Sea cruise from a cruiser himself!

With Chris away on the high seas, Matt has welcomed special guest host Matt Fisher of the Life Leave Me Alone podcast to come aboard and talk with none other than Becky Cloonan about her work on Southern Cross, The Punisher and Gotham Academy! We also talk a bunch about metal and hardcore music, artist Andy Belanger's wrestling alter-ego, the intersection of all the different books she writes and a bunch more! Plus, we take a financially focused listener question!

Afua Richardson joins us for this week's show, and while you may know her as the cover artist of Black Panther: World of Wakanda and artist of Genius from Image Comics among other comics projects, she's also worn many, many other hats including singer, voice actress, beatboxer, floutist, and the list goes on. Also, she's on a first-name basis with KRS-One, which obviously makes her one of our favorite guests. In addition to all that, we also talk about taking breaks from work, adding symbolism to art, her X-Men '92 variant cover, and much more! Plus, we take a listener question that relates to Every Story Ever!

From the Matt D. Wilson Memorial Auditorium, our annual award show, the Flash Gordon Memorial Awards, kicks off 2017 on War Rocket Ajax! Listeners submit the categories, we choose the winners!

We're finishing out the year by adding more stories to our list of every comic book story ever published!

We're trading gifts and jamming out to Christmas music in this special minisode!

It's time for the 8th(!) annual War Rocket Ajax War on Christmas Special, and we're back with another movie commentary! This time out, Matt Fraction joins us to watch the 1984 classic Gremlins, a movie Chris was too scared to watch back in his youth. What will he think now? Stay tuned to find out!

With the holidays just around the corner, we asked the hosts of the HARK! podcast, RJ and Ian, to come on the show to talk about their ever-growing list of Christmas, holiday and winter songs! Plus, we requested that they go over Pitchfork's list of the "50 best holiday songs of all time" with us, to see just how wrong they got it. Also, we take a listener question that adds a little comics content to the show!

We're ranking more characters in our last Panel President special of the year!

November's almost over, so we're back ranking stories for our ever-growing list of comics yarns!

We more or less took the week off for Thanksgiving, but we couldn't just leave you hanging, so here's a bite-sized episode with some thanks, some announcements and some possible plans for 2017!

The writer of the Inspector Pancakes series, Dreadful Sirens and the upcoming Project Tingler, Karla Pacheco, joins us once again! We talk with her at length about boat living, tragic phone loss, cross-country adventures, working with the enigmatic Chuck Tingle, irony, hotel fires, Joey Ryan, and eventually, her upcoming story in the Gwenpool Holiday Special! Plus, we take a couple listener questions!

We thought about renaming our character-ranking segment after the events of last week, but, well, we're not the ones who suck, so we're back this week with a Panel President special! We get through a whole big list of Green Lanterns, take aim at some retcon characters and determine whether some characters really are overrated.
