Thursday Jan 31, 2019
Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. And if there’s anything that fanboys love, it’s debating what book is better than another book or which character is “cooler.”
Enter Countdown, a monthly episode where Greg and Nick will each give a top five list and debate the merits therein.
To recover from the drudgery of last week's Longbook Hunters, the boys are counting down their favorite stories about DC's caped crusader! Far removed from Zurr-en-Arrh, these are the books that define Bruce Wayne and his cast of supporting characters, representing a bevy of legendary creators such as Frank Miller, Scott Snyder, Jim Lee, Tim Sale and more!

Hard-Traveling Fanboys Podcast #144: Off the Page — Aquaman TV pilot
Thursday Jan 17, 2019
Thursday Jan 17, 2019
Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. In Off the Page, the boys take a look at comic book media outside the books themselves -- games, TV shows, movies and so forth. The DC Universe app recently uploaded the unaired 2006 pilot episode of a proposed Aquaman television show, so this month, the boys watch it for the very first time! Originally scheduled to debut on the WB Network, the UPN-WB merger (which led to the CW) ultimately doomed this show to obscurity. How does it hold up in 2019, and should it have been picked up in place of some of the other debuting CW shows?

Hard-Traveling Fanboys Podcast #143: Countdown -- Worst Character Changes
Saturday Jan 12, 2019
Saturday Jan 12, 2019
Mild-mannered reporters by day, Greg Phillips and Nick Duke share an intense love of comic books that has made them the Hard-Traveling Fanboys. And if there’s anything that fanboys love, it’s debating what book is better than another book or which character is “cooler.”
Enter Countdown, a monthly episode where Greg and Nick will each give a top five list and debate the merits therein.
In this edition, the boys count down the worst changes enacted to existing characters in the Marvel and DC universes. These are the (usually) editorially mandated “bold new directions” that fundamentally damaged their characters and left nerds like Greg and Nick shaking their fists in rage.
Buckle up, there’s some confusion ahead.
