Anyway its time to send PSI Force off into the sunset...no cool jackets.

You know when reality shows finish a season and then they have a reunion episode at the end where the people that screwed each other over over the course of the season get to face each other?

In this issue, PSI Force is slumming it with the Medusa Web for a bit, maybe knocking off the Annoying Potiphar before they move to their next mission...which might also be their last!!! (cuz no more issues)

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 13:00:25 GMT

Well, if you've been listening for a while you now how much we loved those PSI Force Leather jackets that appeared in an imaginary flashback panel and in a way they perfectly represent both of these series'.

Season 4: Episode 26: The Star Brand #16

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 13:00:17 GMT

Death--Where is Thy Sting? More Like: Brimley--Where is Thy Oats??? Oh man...so sure there is some kind of story about what happens if the star child removes the ability to die, but really you should listen and stick around to decide whether Steven or Andy have the better Wilford Brimley impression. Also, zombie Ken/Jim Shooter.

Season 4 Episode 25: Justice #25 Changes

Fri, 02 Aug 2024 23:49:16 GMT

New characters and the start of a three part story arc, Justice is still at the NSC and trying to keep his daughter Angela safe. We get some new characters too, Creeping Crud and Quill, plus yet another reminder as to why having a chauffer hold a sign for a person at an airport is a bad idea.

Season 4 Episode 24: DP7 #25 The Last Stand of the Shadowman

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 13:00:17 GMT

If you love plot threads, you'll love this one. DDTeens robbing a store, Randy and the missing antibodies finally gets a resolution and Famileech (the weird mutant blob version of the family from The PITT. If that isn't enough for you, ESPeople (they're made out of people) and Nightmask too!. If this wasn't Mark Gruenwald I'd be worried there was too much.

Season 4 Episode 23: PSI Force #25 The Return of PSI Hawk

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 19:00:17 GMT

Season 4 Episode 19: The Star Brand #15: More Hobson, Less Choice

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 12:17:45 GMT

Well lets just be honest here, we haven't really been loving the new direction that Star Brand has taken, especially some real anti "Don't throw away the Duck" story choices. However, it makes for one heck of a fun podcast. Strap in folks...PITT Plague!

Season 4 Episode 18: Justice #23 "Ramifications"

Fri, 07 Jun 2024 16:00:27 GMT

Season 4 Episode 14: DP7 #22 "Army Dreamers" Draft Tie in Issue

Fri, 03 May 2024 12:56:02 GMT

They've been trapped in the clinic, on the run, running the clinic, dunked in The PITT and now, Drafted? Yep, It's looking like some of our favorite paranormals are in boot camp. I'm sure a barracks full of paranormals will go fine. Oh, wait! Pittbull is there too? This issue parallels the special "The Draft" but follows the DP7 group instead of the three new guys.

Season 4 Episode 13: PSI Force #22 "The Kick Inside"

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 04:00:28 GMT

Up until now we got the feeling that Thomas Boyd has been through a lot in his life, but with this issue we really find out.

At long last, the Draft is here! This issue tells the story of three new paranormals who end up drafted into the government's new paranormal military squad. Meet Gridlock, a sad man who gets no respect but can make tubes from thin air (that should help). Also Metallurgust, who can control a chevy hubcap (seriously) and Blow Out, a PhD student who explosively teleports. We also see the return of Nightmask and meet Sgt. Haldeman who has a truly horrifying power.

Season 4 Episode 10: DP7 #21 Death of the Clinic

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 04:01:04 GMT

Death of the Clinic??? Say it ain't so Gruenwald, we like the clinic!! In this issue a lot of the clinic paranormals are split up and have run ins with the army and state stroopers.

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 05:00:31 GMT
