Darkhan City Awesome Comics Culture Podcast

Quinn and Robert get down to business with a great Picks of the Week episode. In addition to IDW's smash hit "My Little Pony" comic book debut, the dudes discuss Weebly.com, "Danger Girl / G.I. Joe," "Ghostbusters," and even cult favorite "Miami Connection." And don't forget that issue #1 of "Elders of the RuneStone" is officially available for download at ArtistAlleyComics.com! Happy Holidays from the Pantyhose Ninjas!

Guest Pantyhose Ninja Elaine Atkins Manley joins Quinn and Robert for a round of Picks of the Week! In addition to shout-outs for "Warrior," "Young Justice," "Wrath of the Titans," and other awesomeness, Elaine gives an in-depth review of the recent "New 52" Batman story arc, "Batman: Court of Owls." If we share, there's certainly enough pantyhose for all of us.

Sometimes it's difficult to record episodes on a regular basis because producing comic books is crazy work. In those cases, we steal other podcasts and play them as our own. Like this one: Quinn and Robert were recently interviewed on the "Star Joes" Podcast with Chuck and Ryan, where they talked all about "Elders of the RuneStone" and even got to discuss their "TMNT" love. Sonic Boom!

We're not sure how this keeps happening, but Ben showed up to host along with Robert and Quinn again. Luckily, he doesn't entirely ruin the dudes' "The Dark Knight Rises" spoiler-filled review. With a brand new segment, the return of old favorites, and one more surprise special guest, this episode will have you exacting vigilante justice in no time!

No longer content with only two hosts for these episodes, Quinn and Robert scrape the bottom of the barrel and find podcast nemesis Ben Johnson to join them. Along with their thoughts on the recently released "The Amazing Spider-Man," the dudes also discuss "Tron: Uprising," Quinn's unexpected boost in fame, and the fate of upcoming-yet-delayed blockbuster films. Don't expect too much from these guys, though.

Somehow, Quinn and Robert manage to keep from being long-winded in their praise for several awesome properties and productions. Besides plugging "Avatar: The Legend of Korra," "Snow White and the Huntsman," and other coolness, they host (and welcome further) discussion about the enduring nature of childhood entertainment. It's "Adventure Time"!

If you haven't seen "The Avengers" yet, here's our review: It is incredible! And awesome. Go see it. This episode is loaded with spoilers, as it is more of a discussion about what made the movie so great--from plot points to the tiniest cameos and hilarious moments. In other words, the Pantyhose Ninjas hold back very little in speaking of why "The Avengers" is the perfect culmination of the previous years' summer films. Avenge it!

Dreams come true! Thanks to all our amazing fans, followers, and friends and to the genius of Kickstarter.com, Elders of the RuneStone is on its way to full production and release! With fellow SCAD alumnus and successful Kickstarter.com beneficiary Bryan Tillman, the Pantyhose Ninjas discuss how to make Kickstarter.com work for you. Now THAT's better than eight simultaneous Chuck Norris boots to the face.

This follow-up episode hits you right in the ear with Part II of our interview with video game designer and artist Alan Tew (check out episode #79 for Part I)! Alan gives tips on how to improve your skills in both art and game design, as well as how to network professionally. It all concludes with a discussion on games that inspired him with bold and polished design. What we didn't expect was a surprise visit from Jet Li...

With Troy subbing for Robert, the Pantyhose Ninjas hold their first video games industry interview with veteran artist and designer Alan Tew! In addition to discussing his work on "Van Helsing," "Chicken Little," an unannounced Disney project and more, Alan reveals his philosophies on comics art, storytelling, and how video game experiences are far more than the sum of their parts. Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy New Year! First off, Quinn and Robert bid a fond farewell to 2011 as they discuss the last of its blockbuster movies: "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" and "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol." Then, to ring in the new, they build up the hype for 2012's announced action films. Just don't let the ninja juice your fruits.

Please welcome Brian Atkins to the microphone, brother to Robert and fellow artist, as this week's guest host! He joins Quinn and Robert as they discuss the upcoming "The Dark Knight Rises" and review the recently released "Batman Year One" animated film. With such a focused theme, you'll be happy that another Swift Kick adds some variety. And some hospital visits.

Quinn and Robert are at it again with mini reviews of "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell," "Avenging Spider-Man," "Be Kind Rewind," and "Science Dog." Besides the reviews, we've got horror anecdotes and a podcast friend shout-out to boot! What kind of facial hair does Chuck Norris allow YOU to keep?

In this “spooky-scary” episode, Robert provides a return to the Comic Nook with reviews of Marvel’s “Avengers Prime” and DC’s universe relaunch. Plus, get “Swift-Kicked,” and hear a brand-spankin’-new “Good Idea, Bad Idea”! Happy Halloween!

Quinn and Robert combine their powers for another “Picks of the Week” episode! “Troll Hunter,” “Aquaman,” “12 Angry Men,” and “Invincible” await you--all in under 33 minutes! Now THAT’s impressive.

After the longest episode delay yet, the Pantyhose Ninjas have finally escaped Techno-Diffitron’s clutches and are ready for action once again! While Troy is tied up on his honeymoon in Hawaii, Quinn, Robert, and a “swift-kicking” surprise guest hold a retrospective on two of summer’s final comic book flicks: “Captain America” and “Cowboys & Aliens.” HO-O-O-O!

We’re back! After a six-week hiatus, the Pantyhose Ninjas explode into action with a discussion about J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, focusing on the recently released movie “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.” In addition, Ye Olde Mail Bag contains revelations from the future, and Troy gives a big announcement!

As you can expect from the title of this episode, Quinn and Robert suggest a fair number of properties as their “Picks of the Week.” From a discussion of how “Green Lantern” is faring at the box office to the voice actor behind He-Man and TMNT favorite Leonardo, this episode has a little something for everyone. Even Skeletor would be proud.

The Pantyhose Ninjas’ mutant power would be the ability to overuse redundant praises. That is far less cool than the effects on display in the newly released “X-Men: First Class.” Listen in as Quinn and Robert review and discuss the movie-- from the acting to the costumes to the conflict between mutants and men. Don’t forget your cast iron cup!

The Pantyhose Ninjas weigh in on Superman’s recent citizenship decision, then suggest checking out “The Girl ?Who Leapt Through Time,” “The Rocketeer,” and BBC’s “Sherlock.” What they don’t suggest is wearing nothing but a bathrobe while another of Ben’s “Swift Kicks” is lurking about.
