This episode is with my good friend Shawn Pryor. Shawn has been in the comics game for a bit starting out with his own imprint PKD media and then as one of the Founders of Action Lab Entertainment. Shawn also has a long running podcast called The Black Box podcast (one in which I’ve been a guest on plenty of times).

This episode is another conversation with Ron Wimberly. This time we talk about the DC Comics character Cyborg. Ron was asked if he wanted to do a variant cover for the upcoming new title this summer (also for Green Arrow) but he declined.
He never really liked or understood Cyborg on a design level so he wanted to talk about it. We start there and then go into tangents about story telling and a lot of DC Comics properties. At the end I ask if you the listeners would like to hear my thoughts on the upcoming Avengers Age of Ultron film since I stopped seeing superhero movies.

This was my last comic review I did at Pop Culture Shock, mostly because I was slow on writing them and I wasn’t that interested in many books at that time. My Mac also died too. Been a bad summer so far. I really do think the BOOM! Studios Disney titles are really good though….
Read MoreSame as before a repost from Pop Culture Shock now that it is ended. Batman & Robin is my favorite western superhero comics on the stands today.
