What is “True Cannon” Anyway?

On this week’s show Johnny and Brian take a look at, and discuss the movie previews from Super Bowl 50. They also take the time to delve deeper into some recent comments made by Zack Snyder about the Man of Steel and where his inspiration for his Superman originated. Then there is the New York Time article interviewing Rob Liefeld about how much or little he was involved in the creation of Deadpool, spoiler, he takes pretty much all the credit. Last, the boys discuss the state of comic book sales today, and ask who is the real customer when it comes to the comic book community… retailers or collectors.

Why is Rob Liefeld acting this way?

In a recent New York Times article Rob Liefeld makes it seem like he was the sole driving force behind the creation of Deadpool, not really giving Fabian Nicieza much credit at all. Since this episode was recorded and Nicieza has stated that things between he and Liefeld are “all good” and they author of this NY Times article had their own agenda.

Zack Snyder Just Doesn’t Get It

Zack Snyder has finally come to the defense of his “Superman” movie Man of Steel, lashing out at long time comic book readers and Superman fans saying if they didn’t like Man of Steel they don’t “understand true cannon”. So we simply want to know where Snyder’s cannon came from in Man of Steel. Because the detached alien from Krypton in his film was far from the shining beacon of hope and humanity most Superman readers/fans are used to seeing.
