The Jedicole Universe

What's the job pay?  A question posed by a unique brand of street-level heroes in comics.  Sure being the good guy is its own reward, but frankly it does not pay the bills!  Your hosts Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston take a look at various heroes-for-hire as "Hit the Streets" concludes.

Street-smart street-level heroes know the score.  Sometimes you need a good firearm at your hip to survive the level of criminal that you find in a world of super-powered criminals and high tech devices.  Yet for some there is an allure in guns and other projectile weapons that transcends necessity.  Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston discuss the comic book heroes that hit the street often armed to the teeth!

Hit it!

Yes, it's time to "Hit the Streets" again with Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston as Hey Kids, Comics! latest story arc reaches the pivotal center episode!  This week your hosts take a hard swing at the heroes who fight crime largely bare knuckled.  Some have powers or weaponry to bring to bear in the battle against evil, but when the chips are down their fists are up!

Let's face it, criminals are generally nocturnal creatures.  To combat them takes a brand of hero who sleeps by day and fights crime by night.  This issue finds Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston delving into these night owls (including Nite Owl) and their capacity to shine light on what bad guys do in the dark!

What makes a super-hero a "street level" hero versus any other kind?  That is the pressing question in this week's issue of the show.  Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston launch the 'Hit the Streets" arc with a look at the heroes (and villains) that fall into this category as well as some of the regular folks that have been a part of their careers.

The Tanzanite Age of Comic Book Movies has resulted in a remarkable offshoot...the comic book movie action figure!  Yet even before this golden time there were toys based on movies based on comics.  Your hosts Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston take a look at the highs and lows, the inadvertent spoilers, and the storied history of comic movie toys.

You will want to have your ears at the ready as Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston talk about the eyes that "have it" in comics!  This issue delves into eye-based powers and the historical significance of "super peepers"!

It's that time of year again!  Summer has arrived and the annual Summer Fun issue is here at last!  

Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston could not think of anything that was as much fun this summer as "Spider-Man:  Far From Home", so naturally this blockbuster became the subject for this year's edition.  

SPOILER ALERT! - This issue is heavily laden with spoilers of the film's many secrets.  Please go see this incredible movie before you partake of this issue.

For the last few years there has not been a year without the sound of your hosts Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston railing against the collection assassin that is the San Diego Comic Con exclusive - regardless of the vendor.

2019 will see this tradition continuing as they share their thoughts about this year's slate of "can't-get-it-if-you-are-not-here collectibles that are being offered at SDCC.  While conditions have improved for collectors, the exclusivity of some items remains quite problematic.

Find out what the guys have to say about things this year....

 The boys are back!

Okay, the old dudes are back!  Hey Kids, Comics! returns from an unscheduled late Spring hiatus with the promised look at comic book henchmen.  From the themed gangs that aid in the malfeasance of comics' top crooks to the unexpected henchmen you never knew were out there, this issue has it all!  

To paraphrase Professor X, when it comes to henchmen, they are not always what you think.
