Comic Shoot Episode 2: Paramount and the Bizarro World of its Warner Bros. Takeover

Posted on by One comment

What does a war in Iran, the Saudi Government, Ari Emanuel, Jared Kushner, AI data centers, UFC and WWE, all have to do with the takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance? Find out in this new episode of Comic Shoot as well as its possble impact on DC Comics, Milestone Media, Wonder Comics, DC Entertainment, and DC Studio!

Joining us is Nate Wilcox who founded the legendary MMA web site Bloody Elbow in 2007 and sold it in 2024. He was the first UFC reporter to focus on Ari Emanuel and the ownership team rather than Dana White and the public facade. He blogs as Nat Wilson Turner for Nakedcapitalism.com and IanWelsh.net on politics, propaganda, and media and tech business news. You can also find his current coverage of the MMA space at The MMA Draw.

Nate has been regularly following the money and its connection to politics that will determine our future!

Notes/Corrections: Around the 40 minute mark Nate states Ari Emanuel gave MBS $400 BILLION back but it should be MILLION.
Around the 50 minute mark, “the law of Iran and Israel” is “the law of Iran and the US.”

James Gordon, Reba Buhr as Catwoman/Seline Kyle, Adam O’Byrne as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Mike Starr as Carmine Falcone, Simon Vance as Alfred Pennyworth, Dan Gill as The Joker, Jesse Burch as The Riddler, Michelle Lukes as Poison Ivy and Kevin Smith as The Penguin.

Ink & Imagination 011: Across the Atlantic — The British Invasion of American Comics

Posted on by

Welcome to Ink & Imagination, brought to you by Those Two Geeks.

In this episode, Ink & Imagination traces how the rebellious storytelling ethos of 2000 AD crossed into the U.S. and permanently reshaped American comics. From Karen Berger’s pivotal role in opening the door, to Alan Moore’s seismic reinvention of the medium, and the rise of voices like Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, and Garth Ennis, this is the story of how satire, political anger, and literary ambition collided with superheroes.

We explore how the British Invasion dismantled old assumptions about heroism, authority, and morality – and how its influence led to Vertigo, darker storytelling trends, backlash, and ultimately a transformation the industry could never undo.

This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s the story of how comics learned to question themselves.
