Episode 74: Comics OCD and What Comics Are Worth

July 5, 2008 under Podcasts

I’m back in the saddle again after a lengthy hiatus from podcasting.  Tune in for a lot of rambling as to why, but also some talk about the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, the Justice League New Frontier DVD, the Incredible Hulk Movie, and a lot of other random stuff.  Somewhere in all of that I talk about some of the symptoms of my Comics OCD habits and how I’m trying to break them, and then mull over who decides why back issues cost what they do.

And in a segment now deemed “Not So Recent Reads” recorded about a month ago, I chime in on the following comics:

  • Daredevil: Blood of the Tarantula
  • Detective Comics #843
  • You’ve Got To Have a Gimmick Today
  • DMZ Vol. 4: Friendly Fire
  • Final Crisis #1
  • Ms. Marvel #27
  • Secret Invasion #2
  • Captain Britain and MI13 #1
  • Incredible Hercules #117
  • Mighty Avengers #13
  • New Avengers #41
  • Secret Invasion Fantastic Four #1
  • Might Avengers #14
  • Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men #1
  • Avengers/Invaders #1
  • Thor #9
