Don't adjust your sound settings. Your system is working as normal. Dave and Tony decide to give Brian a well-deserved week off and in their infinite wisdom, decide to go back to the very beginnings of the Atomic Fallout Society and record old-school... by the way, that opening and closing theme was indeed the original theme music that Tony used to kick off The Atomic Fallout Society.This week, Tony reviews Batman 23.2 which is dedicated to the Riddler. This version of the Riddler isn't just fun and games... he's a serious cat who's going to make Batman's life very, very miserable in a battle of wits. It's going to be worth reading in the future. Dave reviews the latest Flash and gets some insight on who exactly the Reverse Flash is. He has his own theory of where it might be going, which would make for interesting conversation.
Dave also rants about the latest version of... Lobo. It's not the Lobo that you are familiar with, and Tony has his own opinion of what DC has done to the bounty hunter. That, and the boys have a very, very, very special guest sit in not only listening, but finally hearing what these two have been up to the last two years...
The Atomic Fallout Society... going old-school and loving it.

This week, we welcome back David Sabal... and find Tony Sabal missing. Actually, he's off prepping for the big 100th episode, so we have Dave, Brian Smith and returning guest Chris Liligan back to review a very big week for comic books.Dave reviews the first issue of Marvel's latest storyline, Battle of the Atom, and they do a "retake" of Days of Future Past. You think the X-Men learned for time travel and the crap it brings? Chris reviews one of the Villain titles from DC, Justice League with Darkseid. We get a backstory showing the rise of Darkseid, which may lead to something bigger in the future for this Dark New God. Finally, Brian reviews the big one from DC, Forever Evil and the return of the Crime Syndicate of America. Lots of questions will start to be answered beginning with this one.
With the return of Dave, we have industry news which will be interesting, since Tony's not around to make sure the show doesn't go to hell. The guys also go into a very important discussion of a very special indie project that's coming up...
The Atomic Fallout Society... two more episodes to 100, so hang on for your dear life.

This week, we welcome Jacob O'Neal from the Gorram Nerd Hour as he sits in for David Sabal. Jacob helps out by reviewing a Hellboy title... but this isn't your typical Hellboy title, and it doesn't end well.Brian Smith reviews Collider # 2... whoops, the Federal Bureau of Physics or whatever it's called from now on. Anyway, it doesn't affect the story overall, so you might want to pick this one up.
Tony Sabal reviews Batman Inc. Special #1. Yes, Batman Inc. isn't quite over, but how can you turn your back on Bat-Cow? Is it worth reviewing even though the Trinity War is over? Tony also discusses various topics in the speculator's market like original comic art. Is it worth the investment? Maybe if you have a LOT of money? Also, does controversy and/or changing your title name affect speculation? Better yet, how about them 3D covers that DC is planning in the month of September? Tune in, but we make no guarantees that you'll make any profit listening to this show.
The Atomic Fallout Society... forever evil... really evil.

First of all, this is Episode 96. Despite what you may hear in this episode, we had a serious brain fart, and this IS episode 96. Dave is out this week and may be out for some time, because he apparently lost the ability to walk in step... stay tuned on that front. In his place, we replaced him this week with another Filipino in order to maintain the majority, and that Filipino is Chris Lilagan!Chris starts his indoctrination by reviewing the 2nd issue of Batman '66. It's not bad for the first review, but according to Brian, it's not his first attempt at an AFS review. Tony reviews... or tries to review that latest Daredevil issue from Mark Waid. Just pick up this title... period. Brian reviews the 1st issue of Batman Beyond Universe which also includes the Justice League Beyond team. Very solid book. This week also brings us the latest Educating The Masses, and this week, Brian introduces us to "Flash: Rebirth". He's more than just a really, really fast guy as there's more to the Flash than meets the eye.
The Atomic Fallout Society... fighting the man by making sure Filipinos dominate this show.

The gang's all back, BUT who's with them? Doesn't matter, 'cause the mystery guest just stepped into the AFS Zone, which means that there's a car crash waiting to happen. Bet he'll think twice before asking to come back. By the way, today's secret word is "Gail Simone".The reviews start off with Tony TRYING to review the newest Marvel spectacle called Infinity. Despite Brian and Dave's tactics, this title has a promising beginning, but we said the same thing for Age of Ultron, and look what happened. Dave reviews Gail Simone's Red Sonja. Dave liked it... for the nice T & A. Brian reviews Gail Simone's Batgirl. This time, Batgirl find herself in the sights of the Gotham P.D. led by... her father. The family get-togethers aren't going to be joyful this holiday season for the Gordons. And we finish off by interviewing our mystery guest... he's still here, so that's a good thing.
The Atomic Fallout Society... who's behind the curtain?

One episode closer to 100, and the guys review nothing but debut issues this week. David reviews from Frank Miller... huh?... Robocop: Last Stand #1. Knowing Dave's disdain for Frank, this may be an interesting review. Brian reviews the latest from DC/Vertigo, Jeff Lemire's Trillium, and it harkens back to some classic Vertigo vibes. Tony reviews Sidekick from J. Michael Straczynski. Ever wonder what would happen if a popular sidekick loses his main guy? You're about to find out. Lastly, Tony discuss the latest in the Speculator's Corner and why variant covers probably aren't the best way to speculate on hot comic books. Also, find out what past Marvel comic book may be on the rise, especially if rumors are true about the upcoming X-Men movie.The Atomic Fallout Society... there's only one variant, and that's good enough for everyone.

The much-hyped finale of Batman Inc. hits the stands this week. The same creator that killed off Batman's little boy finishes off his run with this climax, BUT is it worth it? Or will we just shake our fists at Grant Morrison for this lame ending to this title? Tony harkens back to a long-gone era with the debut of Captain Midnight, and Dave goes even further by reviewing a title first created by Alan Moore by the name of Tom Strong. If the guys aren't careful, this episode could be the death of them. Dave also catches us up with the latest industry news and fallout from this year's San Diego Comic Con.The Atomic Fallout Society... we're still trying to figure out Grant Morrison.

Listen in and learn about this storyline that you MUST read more on.We also have reviews as Brian reviews the first annual issue from Hawkeye, Dave reviews the latest Flash issue and Tony reviews the start of "Hunger" that may leave you even more hungrier... or not-so-hungry.

This is the week that all fanboys and fangirls have been waiting for... the 91st episode of the Atomic Fallout Society... and the San Diego Comic Con. Why are the guys NOT at the San Diego Comic Con? It might be because they might be sick and tired of dealing with the crowds and the raised prices of almost everything out in San Diego this time of year. Listen to this episode and hear the rants and apprehension of going back to the con for some of the guys. But first, we have reviews...Tony reviews the latest Deadpool, and it is a GROOVY issue. That basically sums it up. Brian reviews the latest Justice League of America coming off of yet another sudden death at the hands of Superman... wait a minute, haven't they learned their lesson already? Dave reviews the debut issue of Superior Carnage. Now that's a guy that kills for a living...
You smell what The Atomic Fallout Society is cooking?

Tony comes up with some of the most questionable quotes. He definitely needs work. With that said, the guys return to review new books this week.David Sabal reviews the latest Eerie book from Dark Horse. You like real classic horror tales like in the past? You might like this one. Tony reviews the latest Peter Panzerfaust. Think Peter Pan leading the Lost Boys against Nazi Captain Hook. Lastly, Brian gives his viewpoints on the long-awaited Justice League # 22, the start of the Trinity War. So many questions after this one, but a lot of exciting opportunities. The guys also review the latest in industry news including the latest controversy surrounding Orson Scott Card.
The Atomic Fallout Society... one day, we will all figure out what Tony is talking about... one day.

After taking a break last week for a very good reason, the boys return to the internet with a lot of catching up to do. First, they do a quick review of LAST WEEK'S books before jumping into this week's picks.For this week, Brian reviews the latest Detective Comics from John Layman and the intro of a new bad-ass villain. David reviews the debut book for Pandora, a character that will play a significant part in the upcoming Trinity War storyline for DC. Lastly, Tony reviews "Deadpool Kills Deadpool" and in the process makes both Brian and Dave sick and angry. But could this Deadpool title be the title to end all Deadpool titles? Or is Tony just kidding himself?
Tony also brings us up-to-date with the latest news in Speculator's Corner, and they are now posting articles on the best comic book titles in 2013. Somehow, this doesn't vibe with The Atomic Fallout Society.
The Atomic Fallout Society... we will be playing a major part in the new Neil Gaiman "Sandman" book, seriously.

It's the week after Man of Steel, and boy, there's a lot to talk about and a lot to RANT about, especially if you're Brian Smith. But first, Brian reviews the latest comic book storyline dealing with The X-Files. Remember The X-Files? Well if you're a fan, you like...LIKE...this title but may not be head over heels on it, especially since after you read this one, you may end up with more questions than answers.Dave reviews IDW's "Wild Blue Yonder", a steampunk title that Dave likey a lot. If you dig steampunk, you'll like this title. Lastly, Tony finally comes to the realization that "Age of Ultron" was a disappointment and really was nothing more than a setup for new titles including yet another Avengers title. And what about Angela? The worst-kept comic book secret on there is finally confirmed, but that's not all that we end up retrofitting into the Marvel Universe. In fact, it seems like Marvel's decided to really, really change the face of the universe for good starting by satisfying the hunger of a really big classic character...tune in to find out who.
The Atomic Fallout Society... Man of Steel has definitely left a mark on us.

The guys return from their escapades at the Phoenix Comicon and not a moment too soon as there's an overflow of energy (Brian) that's ready to burst out...Leading off, Tony reviews Astro City # 1. Exciting news for old Astro City fans as they can now pick up on new adventures while new fans may want to slowly digest this one as it will leave you scratching your heads if you are not familiar with the title. Dave is equally confused with his review of the latest East of West. Maybe Dave needs to re-read the title from the beginning but so far, he likes it.
Lastly, Brian unleashes his pent-up angst thanks to the debut of Kick Ass 3. Yes, if you are a BIG fan of the Mark Millar franchise, you'll like this one. If you aren't, then Brian will sum it up for you. It's a priceless moment that you'll love to hear. Somehow, SOMEHOW, the Watchmen somehow gets mentioned in his ranting, which is absolutely incredible. That and Dave provides even more fuel for Brian's fire with industry news.
The Atomic Fallout Society... whatever didn't kill us at the Phoenix Comicon, made us more stronger.

The captain returns! It's a full crew this week as The Atomic Fallout Society prepares for the upcoming Phoenix Comicon next week. But first...We have reviews as we talk about the latest Iron Man storyline "The Secret Origin of Tony Stark". You think you know Iron Man? Not until you know Tony Stark...
The guys also review a couple of issues that make their debut this week, Dream Thief and Dream Merchant. No, it's not the same book, but it'll actually make better sense than the Iron Man book... trust us.
Lastly, the guys talk big about Phoenix Comicon, not because Abnormal will have a BIG presence at this year's con. It's probably because Brian and Dave are going to have a big week with their new movie... what sellouts.
The Atomic Fallout Society...did you miss us? We missed you.

Welcome to the Atomic Fallout Society! Tony is out one more week, and now the boys are scared that he might not return. This week, Brian and David are joined by their friends Greg "Darkseid" Holmes and Chris "Lilly" Lilagan to help fill the void left by their fearless, but tired, leader.
They start off as always with some reviews, and Marvel doesn't do too well. Surprise, surprise. David does have the lone bright spot in the reviews thanks to a DC title, but no one on the panel save for Greg is shocked to find that out. Greg does however go on a rant for the ages and Brian does his best to keep everyone under control as he fills in for the one, the only, Tony Sabal.
Listen this week to find out what really happens when El Capitan is away.

It’s the return of the Atomic Fallout Society. Fresh off his departure from The Gorram Nerd Hour, Brian makes a comeback with a special guest, Justin Blair, Manager of Samurai Comics in Mesa.
They start off with their reviews, and this week was a good one! Both of them got to review NEW books, starting with their first issues. What will they think? You’ll have to listen to find out.
The show was a little bit shorter than usual as Brian tries to find his groove after the abrupt exit earlier in the week, and Justin does his best to keep the show on track.
When will the Sabals be back? Not soon enough.
