Hello, welcome, greetings, and salutations dear Firesiders, it’s time we do that thing. Wednesday means it’s time once again to put everything on hold for a few hours why we fill our worlds with new comics, and new news. Maurer may still be out galavanting with late shift, but the rest of us are here deliver what you have come to expect. Join Mendte, Features (who claims to be over Late Shift’s betrayal with Maurer, but we will see), and that lovable scamp, Baby Huey. The guys talk about the “bloodbath” thats breaking out over at DC, a new Ranger sits on the throne of Drakken, the Omega-leveled knuckle sandwich, the impact of Three Jokers, and Cheeta’s Barbie makeover. So relax for a bit, enjoy the chill pill, and welcome to Fireside.

Join the two tired and beaten remaining crew members as they talk Batman, Conan, Star Wars, Doctor Strange, Titans, Watchmen, Hawkeye, Suicide Squad, and more… all while slowly descending into madness. Good luck and we will be back to normal next week.
Greetings Firesiders! It's your Saturday show with some surprises! Normally we keep this show news free, but with the debut of both the Guardians of the Galaxy and Logan trailers we had to talk about them a little bit. Mendte and Mr. Maurer are joined again by Ian as they dissect the debuts of two new trailers. Then the attention turns to Ian (Please give him a better nickname) as they talk the new age comic fan. One who's world starts and mainly revolves around big-time movies, TV shows, and online videos. Ian is a great representation of this brave new world and gives some insight into what his comic world consists of. Welcome to Fireside.

Read MoreHello Firesiders! Thank you for picking up Issue 154 of Fireside Chats. Mendte and Mr. Maurer are without P. Features in this Issue. It seems as though Late-Shift has the upper hand yet again. But fear not Fireside Faithful, your crew of comic connoisseurs are joined by French the Gypsy. There is no other way to start the issue other than talking Netflix. More specifically, Luke Cage. The spoiler-free discussion starts with first impressions, symbolism, serendipitous connections, and what to expect in the future for Luke Cage. Diving into other Netflix news we have Punisher updates and then Bat in the Sun's first foray into comic TV (sort of). That's just TV news. In comics we have a celebration for 2000 AD's milestone issue, Scooby-Doo tackles the multiverse, DC locks down another big-time creative, and Wonder Woman confirms what everyone already assumed. Not to be left out the crew talk movies. Diving into some exciting Wolverine news and Doctor Strange's living accessory. All this and more, Welcome to Fireside.
