Hellsops: Seed of Destruction #1
Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics
EPISODE 342 - We begin a new season, this time going over Hellboy comics. We start at the beginning, with Hellboy issue 1, or the beginning of the "Seed of Destruction" arc. Hellboy is the creation of writer/artist Mike Mignola, who had been a regular artist for Marvel and DC. Then he started Hellboy for Dark Horse Comics in 1994, and true to the publisher's name -- it was a surprise runaway hit! We discuss how Mignola was a surprise artist to have a runaway success with a creator owned title. We talk about how superstar artist/writer John Byrne scripted these first few issues. We talk...

Hines In A Half Shell: Saturday Morning TV Show
Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics
EPISODE 339 - We take a look at the show that brought huge fame for the Turtle -- the original Saturday morning TV show. Although primarily made as a way to promote the new toy line, the creators of this TV show also wanted it to be good. So there was a lot of thought put into this show. They took a lot of visual designs from the comic, but simplified the story considerable. They added new characters (Rocksteady and BeBop), half-new characters (Krang the talking brain) and gave April a more specific consistent personality. We look at the first five episodes, which is the entire...

Hines In A Half-Shell: TMNT The Last Ronin
Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics
EPISODE 338 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Dark Knight Returns style! We go over the 2020(ish) mini series The Last Ronin. This takes place in a bleak future version of our world, where only one turtle is still alive, and he is fighting to avenge his fallen brothers and father. It was a hit story and mostly very well received by fans! There is a very clear influence from Frank Miller's mid-1980s Batman story The Dark Knight Returns, but it's still very much a TMNT story, albeit one in the "mature, violent" category. Kevin Eastman collaborated on this, using an outline he and Peter...

Hines In A Half-Shell: TMNT #19, 20 and 21 - Return To New York
Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics
EPISODE 337 - We review the three issue arc "Return To New York" which was one of the last true Eastman/Laird TMNT stories ... ever? Sort of ever! It's a gritty violent story that almost feels like a defiant statement in contrast to the then-brand-new TMNT television cartoons which were coming out. We do like it, though it's missing some of the humor and humanity of the previous Eastman/Laird issues. For Loose Screws, Will talks about The Pitt and Kevin discusses how Stranger Things mentions War Games, which means we also have an episode of our sub podcast Screw It, We're Just Going To Talk...

Hines In A Half-Shell: TMNT #11
Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics
EPISODE 336 - We are at issue 11 of the original run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Comics. April and the gang are recovering in a New England farm. April writes in a diary, and we see through her eyes how each of the other characters recovers from the crushing defeat they had at the hands of Shredder last issue. It's a contemplative, emotional and dare we say it --- extremely patient and grown-up issue! The comic that started at least partly as a laugh and a lark has matured into a full world with feelings and integrity! We love this issue! In a way, this is the end of the first era of these...
