Stray Dogs & Feral: The Happiest Horror on Earth

This week, we’re unleashing Stray Dogs & Feral: The Happiest Horror on Earth — 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:

  • 🐶 Stray Dogs — the murder mystery that made you hug your pet... and side-eye your neighbor.

  • 🐈 Feral — the post-apocalyptic sequel that asks, ā€œWhat if The Aristocats had to eat The Rescuers?ā€

  • šŸŽØ Why cute art makes horror hit harder (and how Fleecs weaponized empathy like a Pixar villain).

  • šŸ’€ 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 — where the colors are bright, the trauma is profound, and every bark is a cry for help.

    A Return to Hyde Street: A Place With No Lease and No Exit

    We return once more to Hyde Street — a neighborhood that never forgets and never forgives.

    In this episode, we unpack Geoff Johns’ Hyde Street #7–9 and Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story #1–3, the latest additions toĀ Ghost Machine’sĀ 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 — 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 ā€œjust another horror comic.ā€ It’s an ecosystem of hauntings — and it’s expanding.

    Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: True Crime, But Make It Adorable

    In this episode of The Comic Book Block, we leaf through Patrick Horvath’s Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees — the horror-comic that looks like a Sunday children’s 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 isn’t just another horror comic — it’s a mirror wrapped in fur. A story that smiles sweetly while sharpening the knife.
    Because in Woodbrook, everyone’s friendly… but not everyone’s innocent.

    So grab your pull list, dust off your long boxes, and join us beneath the trees where nobody sees —where the line between neighbor and nightmare is drawn in watercolor and blood. šŸŒ²šŸ’€

    Exquisite Corpses: Like The Purge, but With a Guest List

    Welcome to Oak Valley, Maine — the town where Halloween isn’t about candy, it’s about carnage. In this episode of The Comic Book Block Podcast, we’re diving headfirst into James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh’s 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 it’s Fantasy Football. And innocent civilians stuck in the middle wondering why the trick-or-treat bags are full of trauma.

    We’ll discuss each issue, introduce every killer, and unpack why this series is part social commentary, part slasher spectacle, and all nightmare fuel.

    šŸ‘‰ Listen now — because in Oak Valley, the block is always hot.

    Bug Wars: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, But Everyone’s Screaming

    On this episode of Comic Book Block, we crack open Jason Aaron’s Bug Wars—the comic where your backyard becomes a war zone and every blade of grass hides a brutal tiny world. Slade Slaymaker doesn’t 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.

    We’ll talk cursed amulets, insect politics, and mosquito hoardes that make Florida look safe. It’s Conan the Barbarian in the grass, Game of Thrones under a lawn chair, and somehow still less traumatizing than your last family barbecue.šŸŽ§ Listen now: Bug Wars — Childhood wonder, but with spider witches.

    March to King Omega: DC K.O. Bracketology

    It’s 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 it’s March Madness with capes. Superman’s the #1 seed who’ll probably choke when mercy costs him points. Batman's a safe bet with all that plot armor. Lobo’s here for the chaos. And Harley Quinn? She’ll advance just because DC Editorial can’t stop selling T-shirts.

    Not everyone’s walking away with Omega energy. Some are walking away embarrassed, some irrelevant, and a few? They’ll 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 — but embarrassment lasts forever.

    šŸŽ§ The Comic Book Block presents: March to King Omega. It’s March Madness with capes, and your bracket’s already busted.

    Crossovers: The Multiverse Hug We Pretend We Don’t Want

    Crossovers are the best kind of chaos. Two worlds colliding, heroes teaming up, and fans getting exactly what they didn’t even know they needed.

    On this episode of The Comic Book Block, we’re 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 aren’t stories, they’re fever dreams — 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 it’s always a good time.

    DC Comics Next Big Events: Heroes Rise, Wallets Fall

    In this episode, we’re chopping it up about DC K.O., Absolute Evil, the Static Shock/Batman Beyond mini-series, and the crossover so wild it sounds like fanfiction—Batman vs. Deadpool.

    But we ain’t stressing it—we celebrating it. ā€˜Cause DC out here dropping events like Oprah with gift bags: ā€œYou 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 celebrating—because at the end of the day, more comics means more joy. And hey, even if your wallet’s crying, your pull list is smiling like it just hit the lottery.

    MCU Phase 6 and Beyond: Avengers, Mutants, and Kevin Feige’s Retirement Plan

    Marvel’s Phase 6 is here, and it’s basically a challenge to see how much superhero content one human can handle. From Fantastic Four and Spider-Man 4 to Avengers: Doomsday, Secret Wars, Marvel Zombies, and a stack of Disney+ shows, Kevin Feige’s making sure our calendars — and our streaming queues — stay full. In this episode of The Comic Book Block, we’re talking the hype, the chaos, and why Phase 6 might be the most exciting (and exhausting) Marvel era yet.

    DCU: Gods, Monsters, and Surprisingly Stable Creative Direction

    In this episode, we dissect James Gunn’s newly minted ā€œGods and Monstersā€ slate, and somehow come to the disturbing realization… that the creative direction actually makes sense.

    Yeah. We’re scared too.

    We go through the whole slate and break it down — the good, the bold, and the ā€œhow did this make it past executives without sabotage?ā€

    For the first time in a decade, DC fans aren’t just cautiously optimistic…We’re 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: The Hero Who Makes Every Crisis Instagram-Ready

    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 DC’s most self-promotional savior. He’s 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.

    We’re 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?

    šŸ‘‰ Hit play. Because Booster Gold isn’t just saving DC history—he’s monetizing it, one crisis at a time.

    Rook: The Only Dude Who Can’t Catch a Break on Two Worlds

    This week, we talk about Rook: Exodus — 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 — barely.

    It’s the classic tale of corporate abandonment, planetary doom, and one guy who keeps showing up to work like it’s going to change something.

    Rook didn’t ask for this life. But somehow, he still deserves it.

    Hyde Street: The Block Where Mistakes Get Permanent Addresses

    Welcome to Hyde Street, the only neighborhood where your worst decisions don’t just haunt you—they set up shop, invite their friends, and throw loud parties you can’t escape.

    On this episode of The Comic Book Block, we tear into Geoff Johns’ Hyde Street—a ghostly purgatory full of broken promises, bad deals, and emotional damage that comes with zero refunds. Think of it as a family reunion where everyone’s dead, nobody’s forgiven, and the rent is paid in regret.

    Buckle up, because on Hyde Street, the past isn’t just a story—it’s your permanent address.

    Redcoat: Unkillable, Unhinged, and Dressed Like a History Channel Extra

    This week on The Comic Book Block Podcast, we’re breaking down Redcoat—the man, the myth, the walking colonial fever dream.

    He’s got a musket, centuries of emotional damage, and one jacket that’s committed to the bit harder than any cosplayer you’ve ever met.

    Man’s been in essential moments throughout history, and still got the nerve to walk through a modern city lookin’ like he just challenged Paul Revere to a duel.

    In this episode:

    We break down Redcoat’s origin story: part horror, part history lesson, all red flag.

    The difference between being iconic... and just being stuck

    And the psychology of a man who is immortal but refuses to update his wardrobe

    He’s not a hero. He’s not a villain.

    He’s just what happens when rage, guilt, and bad fashion are given infinite time to fester.

    Warning: comic spoilers, emotional baggage, and aggressive shade toward 18th-century outerwear ahead.
