House to Astonish: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The podcast takes an irreverend (and UK-based) look at comics news (which invariably leads them on some strange tangents), looks through ''Previews'', reviews a few titles that the presenters think look interesting (which does not necessarily mean "good"), and concludes with ''The Official Handbook To The [[Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe]]'', which digs up deservedly obscure characters and imagines how they might fit into the modern [[Marvel Universe]].

 

It can be found [http://housetoastonish.podomatic.com here], with associated blog [http://www.housetoastonish.com/ here].

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: ''The Official Handbook to the Offical Handbook'' is all about how oneshot villains might Ascend.

* [[British Accents]]: They're both Scottish.

* [[Caustic Critic]]: Sometimes. They're quite happy to declare how much they liked a book, but they'll really put the boot in if they didn't.

* [[Mad Libs Catchphrase]]: Always opens with "And in the week when [genuine news event], we ask: [strange comics tangent]?"

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Mocked in the episode "Zombie Pirate Ninja Monkey Viking Cowboy", in which they complain that this sort of thing often isn't nearly as awesome as it sounds, and diminishing returns are setting in on how awesome it even sounds. What set them off was a comic called ''Werewolves on the Moon Versus Vampires''.

* [[Released to Elsewhere]]: Apparently, [[DC Comics]] have sent [[Wildstorm Comics]] to live on a farm, and it's very happy there.
