It has become customary to celebrate “milestones” in both comics and in comics podcasting, so in this episode we try to mix things up and celebrate Episode 100 by inviting a co-host on for the show.  Due to technical difficulties and personality issues regarding semantics we have some mixed results in that regard but hopefully it will still lead to some pleasant listening! 

And never fear - ENTER THE DRAWERBOX returns with a look at Acclaim Comics’ reboot of the Solar character.

And lots of books are talked about in RECENT READS & RANDOM THOUGHTS but I lost my notes and forgot what they were.  So it’s a surprise! 

Thanks to John Mayo and comicbookpage.com as always for hosting the podcast.  Also special thanks to  Alexander B. (Teenage Wasteland Podcast) Scott Gardner (Two True Freaks Podcast) Dave Williams (Waiting for the Trade Podcast) and Jason Wood (11 o’Clock Comics Podcast) for their contributions to this episode.

The main topic of the episode is whether or not the format in which you read a comic effects your enjoyment of the material.  Do you prefer singles, trades, Absolutes, or digital comics?  How did the creators believe the work would be consumed?  More questions than answers in this one.  Listen and then give your two cents on the talkback thread at thecomicforums.com.

Next, some more TV Talk…. Doctor Who, Quantum Leap,  Hulk Versus, and more.
