This episode features: Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons #1, Incredible Hulk #1, Ultimate Invasion #1, Camp Pickens #1 as well as our Flash movie instant reactions recorded immediately after we left the theater.

The much troubled and delayed Flash movie will finally hit screens this Friday into a world showing super hero fatigue and I try to predict its reception and box office opening weekend. It is also new comic Wednesday! Lets take a look at: * Void Rivals #1 (Image) * Black Panther #1 (Marvel) * Sea of Thieves: Champion of Souls (Titan) * DC Pride #1 (DC) In video games I played Diablo 4 when it launched, my first game in the series since 2 laughed years and years ago. What do I think? You have got to listen to find out! I also discuss the Evercade release of the Atari Lynx Collection 2.

We take a look at the first episode of the newest Disney+ Marvel series, The Falcon and Winter Solider. We talked live after the episode and I was joined by NerdStop co-host Lucas, my wife Jen and Twitch Star Mxllow.

After years of waiting, the Zack Snyder version of Justice League is finally here! Released on HBOMax we watched all four hours and give our hot takes immediately after. Regular host Matt is joined by NerdStop podcast co-host Lucas for this special episode.

To celebrate the 50th episode of the First Comics News Podcast, I recorded a live discussion of the WandaVision series finale and the credit scenes. I am joined this episode by my son Lucas (co-host of the NerdStop podcast) and my wife Jenny (star of Jenny’s Yoga Journey YouTube fitness series).

The newest DC reboot is here with Infinite Frontier #0, Batman, Suicide Squad, Swamp Thing and Crime Syndicate. Plus Brzkr #1, Marvel Declassified podcast, America Chavez #1 and the G-Man Kickstarter launch.

At a listeners request I dive a bit more into the new Justice League trailer for the Snyder cut coming to HBOMax in March. Vanity Fair magazine just published an amazing article on Snyder with new information on how this new version came to be which is discussed before wrapping up with an overview look at the current state of super-hero movies and the dark days before X-Men and Spider-Man launched the new age of comic films.

This episode features some great comics worth your time including pick-of-the-week Radiant Black #1, the delightful Orcs! #1 and the darkest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story yet, The Last Ronin. Plus there is a look at WandaVision and Resident Alien TV shows as well as a brief talk about the newest Justice League trailer.
