SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
The Comic Book Bears Podcast fellas (Bill Z, Steve and Caleb) each made the journey to their local multiplex to see Clayface, the third film in the DC Universe franchise following last year's Superman and this year's Supergirl. Directed by James Watkins, Clayface stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen/Clayface, alongside Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, and Eddie Marsan. After becoming disfigured by a mobster's vicious attack, on-the-rise actor Matt Hagen seeks help from a scientist to restore his appearance, but the procedure transforms him into a shapeshifting creature. Part body horror, part revenge story, part crime drama and part psychological study, Clayface operates on many different levels. Hit play to hear what the CBB trio thought of it with their (totally spoilerific) takes! But that's not all in this episode - afterward, as the Halloween season says goodbye, we stay gathered around the mic to discuss recent books, with more than half of them horror themed. The first issues of Midnight X-Men (Marvel), Mark Spears' Graveyard Shift (Keenspot) and Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy (DC/Vertigo) are spotlighted along with 2025's Strange Tales mini-series (Marvel), the graphic novel collection based on Paul Auster's New York Trilogy (Pantheon) and a look back at Peter Bagge's Hate (Fantagraphics). (And since it is that time of year, Caleb and Bill can't help but sneak in a little football talk.)
