Cyborgs! Cyborgs! Cyborgs!
More machine than man!
Cyborgs! Cyborgs! Cyborgs!
With this topic HKC! ran!
Welcome to the latest issue of Hey Kids, Comics! which follows on the deadly heels of an issue about man at the pinnacle of physical perfection with one about the melding of man and machine. A particular chestnut of comic books that tends to be illustrated with lateral cranial cybernetic enhancement, generally with the artificial being on the left side. This and more will Andrew "Robo Cardigan" Farmer and Cole "CyberJedi" Houston explore in this fully enhanced issue of the show.

Hey kids, Shang-Chi!
After more than 300 issues of the show it was past time that Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston discussed the son of Fu-Manchu who is also Marvel's self-styled "Master of Kung-Fu"! That's twice the Fu!
From beginnings as a leap onto the martial arts bandwagon of the 70s with a Bruce Lee-inspired lead to weaving the legend of Fu Manchu into his story to the ups and downs of a character the publisher sometimes loved, sometimes loathed, there was a lot to cover with one of JediCole's favorite comics!

Those crazy kids DeNae Cortez and Aaron Prado from Wonder Twin Powers Activate Show join the fun as "What Did We Just See?" draws to a close.

Warner Brothers had finally realized that dark and brooding is great for Batman, but not necessarily the entire DCU. So it is only natural that "Shazam!" is the topic of discussion in this HCK! arc that explores recent comic book based television shows and movies.
This week Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston are joined by none other than JediCole's own dad! Amazing insights are had from someone who read Captain Marvel comics (the one featuring the lead character of Shazam!) back in the early 40s!
