In this week's episode, the Z2 crew breaks down all of the announcements from San Diego Comic Con 2017 starting with the return of Jeff Lemire to DC to write the Fantastic Four! I mean the Terrifics! Since Marvel doesn't apparently want to write the Fantastic Four, DC has decided to do their own version which sounds like a pretty cool addition to the Dark Matter line. After talking about a ton of other comic announcements, we got to see new character designs for Young Justice season 3, including some fan favorite characters for us! Then in the few Marvel announcements we heard at the time of recording, we learned about the new Captain America team, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee.

In this week's episode, we breakdown the director swap for the Han Solo movie, Sony's lack of the MCU and the MCU lacking the X-Men and how it's affecting Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite. There's a lot of marvel talk this week as they announced the 52 new books they are relaunching with for Legacy, and what a perfect time to discuss the Marvel Legacy heroes and how they could be doing better with them.

In this week's episode, we discuss the news that classic anime, Cowboy Bebop, will be getting a live action adaptation from the same studio that worked on Prison Break. We have feelings about it, as the series is one of Zach and Steve's absolute favorites, and we discuss what needs to happen for it to be successful. We also got our first look at the Black Panther movie, which looks pretty darn cool, and very similar to the Captain America movies in tone. Finally, we lament in the passing of Adam West this past week, and talk about our favorite roles he's done and the importance he played for not only the character of Batman, but as an actor. As always, if you want to help out the show, there are a couple ways you can do that.

In this week's episode, it was a very, very, slow news week aside from Wonder Woman! We save that for the end of the podcast, but to kick things off for this week we talk about the new Runaway's series that was announced from Marvel! It has potential and an excellent artist with Kris Anka, so here's hoping it doesn't fall flat like so many other series have from them recently. There was also the news of Cullen Bunn heading the Edge of the Venomverse crossover, which if he's allowed to go very horror could be very cool, but we get the feeling that Marvel may hold him back on what he can do. Then we talk about E3, what we want to see there, what we expect to see, and any potential surprises that may get dropped this year. Finally, we have a spoiler-free and spoiler filled discussion on the Wonder Woman movie!  As always, if you want to help out the show, there are a couple ways you can do that.
