This week, weāre unleashing Stray Dogs & Feral: The Happiest Horror on Earth ā two comics that prove Tony Fleecs is the Walt Disney of emotional devastation.
It's All Dogs Go To Heaven meets The Silence of the Lambs and The Secret Life of Pets meets The Walking Dead.
In this episode, we are talking about:
š¶ Stray Dogs ā the murder mystery that made you hug your pet... and side-eye your neighbor.
š Feral ā the post-apocalyptic sequel that asks, āWhat if The Aristocats had to eat The Rescuers?ā
šØ Why cute art makes horror hit harder (and how Fleecs weaponized empathy like a Pixar villain).
š These animals have seen more crime scenes than the Gotham City PD.
So grab a leash, hide your memories, and step right up to the happiest horror on Earth ā where the colors are bright, the trauma is profound, and every bark is a cry for help.
We return once more to Hyde Street ā a neighborhood that never forgets and never forgives.
In this episode, we unpack Geoff Johnsā Hyde Street #7ā9 and Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story #1ā3, the latest additions toĀ Ghost MachineāsĀ horror universe where guilt is currency, grief has a zip code, and nobody ever really leaves.
These issues connect grief, guilt, and identity across panels ā a shared universe where the houses remember, the spirits hold grudges, and the Sisterhood blurs the line between love and possession.
Hyde StreetĀ is not ājust another horror comic.ā Itās an ecosystem of hauntings ā and itās expanding.
In this episode of The Comic Book Block, we leaf through Patrick Horvathās Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees ā the horror-comic that looks like a Sunday childrenās book but murders like Silence of the Lambs.
Every page drips with charm, civility, and the quiet sound of someone dragging a tarp across the forest floor.
This isnāt just another horror comic ā itās a mirror wrapped in fur. A story that smiles sweetly while sharpening the knife.
Because in Woodbrook, everyoneās friendly⦠but not everyoneās innocent.
So grab your pull list, dust off your long boxes, and join us beneath the trees where nobody sees āwhere the line between neighbor and nightmare is drawn in watercolor and blood. š²š
Welcome to Oak Valley, Maine ā the town where Halloween isnāt about candy, itās about carnage. In this episode of The Comic Book Block Podcast, weāre diving headfirst into James Tynion IV and Michael Walshās Exquisite Corpses, the horror comic that makes The Purge look like a community fundraiser.
Twelve slashers dropped into one small town. Rich families watching from the sidelines like itās Fantasy Football. And innocent civilians stuck in the middle wondering why the trick-or-treat bags are full of trauma.
Weāll discuss each issue, introduce every killer, and unpack why this series is part social commentary, part slasher spectacle, and all nightmare fuel.
š Listen now ā because in Oak Valley, the block is always hot.
On this episode of Comic Book Block, we crack open Jason Aaronās Bug Warsāthe comic where your backyard becomes a war zone and every blade of grass hides a brutal tiny world. Slade Slaymaker doesnāt just get shrunk; he gets drafted into the worst HOA on earth, where ant armies gut each other, beetle riders charge rent in blood, and mosquito hoardes make your last camping trip look like a Disney vacation.
Weāll talk cursed amulets, insect politics, and mosquito hoardes that make Florida look safe. Itās Conan the Barbarian in the grass, Game of Thrones under a lawn chair, and somehow still less traumatizing than your last family barbecue.š§ Listen now: Bug Wars ā Childhood wonder, but with spider witches.
Itās bracket season, comic fans. Welcome to DC K.O., where thirty-two heroes and villains square off for the title of King Omega. Some will rise, some will lose, and Hawkman will⦠yeah, you already know.
In this episode, we break it all down like itās March Madness with capes. Supermanās the #1 seed whoāll probably choke when mercy costs him points. Batman's a safe bet with all that plot armor. Loboās here for the chaos. And Harley Quinn? Sheāll advance just because DC Editorial canāt stop selling T-shirts.
Not everyoneās walking away with Omega energy. Some are walking away embarrassed, some irrelevant, and a few? Theyāll be in the background of your next Funko Pop display. Come on join us for this special Bracketology Style episode.
Some win, some lose, and the rest get turned into memes. Because in DC, death is temporary ā but embarrassment lasts forever.
š§ The Comic Book Block presents: March to King Omega. Itās March Madness with capes, and your bracketās already busted.
Crossovers are the best kind of chaos. Two worlds colliding, heroes teaming up, and fans getting exactly what they didnāt even know they needed.
On this episode of The Comic Book Block, weāre breaking down the wildest mash-ups in comic history. Superman hangs out with Spider-Man. Archie survives the Punisher. And yes, Charles Barkley dunks on Godzilla. These arenāt stories, theyāre fever dreams ā and we love them anyway.
Because deep down, crossovers are the messy family reunions of comics. Nobody asked for them, nobody planned them well, but everyone shows up⦠and itās always a good time.
In this episode, weāre chopping it up about DC K.O., Absolute Evil, the Static Shock/Batman Beyond mini-series, and the crossover so wild it sounds like fanfictionāBatman vs. Deadpool.
But we aināt stressing itāwe celebrating it. āCause DC out here dropping events like Oprah with gift bags: āYou get a tie-in! You get a one-shot! You get a crisis!ā And yeah, your wallet might be crying, but your comic stack? Man, your stack looking like a Jenga tower of pure happiness.
this episode we laughing, we hyped, and we celebratingābecause at the end of the day, more comics means more joy. And hey, even if your walletās crying, your pull list is smiling like it just hit the lottery.
Marvelās Phase 6 is here, and itās basically a challenge to see how much superhero content one human can handle.

In this episode of The Comic Book Block, weāre talking the hype, the chaos, and why Phase 6 might be the most exciting (and exhausting) Marvel era yet.
In this episode, we dissect James Gunnās newly minted āGods and Monstersā slate, and somehow come to the disturbing realization⦠that the creative direction actually makes sense.

For the first time in a decade, DC fans arenāt just cautiously optimisticā¦Weāre hopeful.And honestly? That might be the darkest twist of all. Because nothing hits harder than realizing: This time⦠it might actually work.And no one is more surprised than us.
Booster Gold is the only hero who can save the timeline, crash the timeline, and then tag himself in the post about it.This week on The Comic Book Block, we dive into DCās most self-promotional savior. Heās the time-traveling ex-quarterback who stole a time machine, a security droid named Skeets, and then decided the best way to protect the timeline was to turn it into a highlight reel.
Weāre breaking down his earliest solo issues, his Justice League International antics, and why every catastrophic event somehow ends up looking like a Booster Gold marketing campaign. Is he a hero? A fraud? Or the only guy smart enough to monetize multiverse mayhem?
š Hit play. Because Booster Gold isnāt just saving DC historyāheās monetizing it, one crisis at a time.
This week, we talk about Rook: Exodus ā the inspiring story of a man who survived the collapse of society... just so society could leave him behind again.
Rook used to be a farmer. Now he's a Warden with a helmet, a bird army, and absolutely no reason to get out of bed. His planet is dying. His family is gone. And the only thing he's saving is face ā barely.
Itās the classic tale of corporate abandonment, planetary doom, and one guy who keeps showing up to work like itās going to change something.
Rook didnāt ask for this life. But somehow, he still deserves it.

This week on The Comic Book Block Podcast, weāre breaking down Redcoatāthe man, the myth, the walking colonial fever dream.

The difference between being iconic... and just being stuck
And the psychology of a man who is immortal but refuses to update his wardrobe
