Welcome to Episode 64 of The Orbiting Pod! This week, we delve the depths of Aquaman #8, don the spandex for The Goon #39, let our fists do the talking in AVX: Vs #1, face an identity crisis with Battle Scars #5, and remain strong to the finish with Popeye #1.
We also have a look at this years Free Comic Book Day offerings, spotlighting those which we think are the most likely to entice new readers.
We complete this weeks episode with an interview with Ellie and Lily, the lovely young girls behind First Class Comic Review.

At long last, the main trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man is now online and available for your viewing pleasure. After the pleasant surprise that was Avengers Assemble, it will be interesting to see how Spidey holds up … Can Andrew Garfield out-nerd Tobey Maguire? Will Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy make us forget all about MJ? Perhaps with this trailer we’ll begin to find out.
We are beyond excited to announce that Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury (along with Alex Bertram-Powell) will be in store on Wednesday May 16 performing extracts from their new album DROKK: Music Inspired By Mega-City One.
The new album, from the creative force behind Portishead and Invada Records, lends a John Carpenter-esque soundscape to the bleak dystopian future of Judge Dredd. It compels the listener to stay a while and holds them in its grasp for just shy of an hour.
If you don’t believe us, you can read gushing reviews over at The Line Of Best Fit and The Quietus. Don’t say we didn’t warn you … DROKK is going to be one of the biggest and best events we’ve had at Orbital, so make sure you’re there!
You can listen to selections from the album and buy digital downloads at drokk.bandcamp.com.
