Corrupt technology magnate William Gunther finds something unusual...and pays the price. From issue #1, coming soon!

Also, sorry for the dearth of new podcast episodes. Got the new one recorded and will have it up very soon. That's what happens when your producer is on his honeymoon!

KUNG FU PANDA has a new writer...and his name is Quinn Johnson!

2011-07-27T23:01:00.000-06:00

Yup, it's official! Quinn will be the new writer (picking up where the stellar Matt Anderson left off), starting with issues #5 (Discipline and Disorder) and #6 (The Slow Fast). The series is published by Ape Entertainment.

Welcome to Episode #71 of the Darkhan City Awesome Comics Culture Podcast!

Even Skeletor would be proud.

Welcome to Episode #70 of the Darkhan City Awesome Comics Culture Podcast!

The Pantyhose Ninjas’ mutant power would be the ability to overuse redundant praises.

Rarely do the Pantyhose Ninjas discuss a production that is NOT awesome. If, however, such a creation is an adaptation of a property that IS awesome, it is our responsibility to warn you not to fall into its trap. Enter M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender." Oh well.

The "Official" Chuck Norris Episode: Darkhan City Podcast #42

2010-05-22T15:55:00.001-06:00

(click HERE to listen, or HERE to download the individual episode)

Episode description:
While debatably insignificant, the Pantyhose Ninjas also discuss things other than Chuck Norris in this episode. For example: "Titans," "Real American Hero(es)," and slapping people in the face. But let's be honest--our review of "The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book" and a Chuck-themed "Chop-Saki Justice" steal the show. Or perhaps roundhouse kick it.
