Comics podcast: Wild Cards, Titans, FX, Echo, Criminal

Kyle Roberts and Matt Price talk about several of this week’s new releases, including “Wild Cards: The Hard Call” No. 1, “Titans” No. 1, “FX” No. 2, “Echo” No. 2 and “Criminal” vol. 2 No. 2 in this week’s comic podcast.  Some excerpts:

Wild Cards: The Hard Call #1

Kyle Roberts:  Instead of being a superhero like they were born with their powers, it’s strictly science fiction. 

Matt Price:  There’s a couple different elements in play, it’s kind of a lot to take in if you’re brand new to the franchise, but if you’ve read some of the books before, I think you’ll like it.

Titans #1

Kyle Roberts: I don’t know a lot about DC, but this reminds me of the 80s Titans group.

Matt Price: I like the first three or four pages with Nightwing quite a bit, after that it lost its way for me.  It feels like he’s trying to sexy up the team a little bit, most of the characters end up running around their shirts for at least part of this issue.
