It was a sad week for comics. Not only did very little hit the stands for the first week of January 2011, but there was also very little in the way of quality in these books. But don’t despair, there were a couple of winners. Plus, we return to What If We Were Writing…? Join […]
Sure, we could talk about the big DC news of the new Peter Milligan-penned Red Lantern Corps comic, but a fourth Green Lantern ongoing? Still pondering how I feel about that. Nope, the big news (I think) is that the letters columns are returning to DC Comics. So (I’m guessing) those 2 pages that we […]
Our 77th weekly episode was recorded the morning of New Year’s Day with your four hosts slightly the worse for wear from the earlier evening’s celebrations. Still, no amount of alcohol and loose women can keep these podcasters from their sacred mission. Join Aron, Paul, Tim and Wayne as they kick off 2011 with massive […]
It’s that time of year, again. It is the time when we gather to reflect on the best the year has offered us and the worst with which it has afflicted us. Alabama Sunshine joins the regular crew of Aron, Paul, Tim and Wayne as we reflect, praise and even curse the comics of 2010. […]
At the beginning of 2010, everyone was a bit damn tired of event books. DC Comics’ Blackest Night stretched on for 9 months with a huge amount of tie-ins (73 comics in all), and Siege from Marvel was shorter, at only 4 months, but flooded the market with numerous tie-ins (about 40-some books total) during […]
Santa’s making his list, checking it twice and found three guys ain’t nice right here on this podcast. That’s right… Neither Paul, Tim nor Wayne can expect gifts under the tree. They’re mean, mean boys. But Santa won’t be leaving them sticks and coal. No, this year he’s giving a little Alabama Sunshine to the […]
This week’s question: What is your ideal Teen Titans team? Paul answers instantaneously, “My ideal Teen Titans team: Tim Drake as…wait for it…the new Nightwing. Primarily an aesthetic choice because of another member selection later. Hell, given the whole Batman, Inc. idea, I would even be okay with ol’ Bruce Wayne making Tim a young […]
I was a HUGE Peanuts fan as a kid. A whole shelf of Charlie Brown books adorned my wall. When I was twelve, I hiked up Pecos Baldy in New Mexico with my Boy Scout troupe. Late in the hike, I was struggling to keep up having fallen far to the rear of the party. […]
Studies show that 25% of all men are dicks. 4 out of 5 dentists agree, but that fifth guy (and a little of the fourth) is a dick. The reality is that if you’re hanging out with three other dudes and you can’t figure which of you is the dick? It’s most likely you. This […]
This may be our eighth Knights of Reignsborough episode, but it is our 7th – and final – sandbox session. This time around we discuss two house rules designed to support the style we’re wanting to foster and create the environment for authentic comic character development. We explore the core concept mechanic. You know what […]
