September 26, 2008 under Podcasts

It is an experimental episode recorded during my lunch break from my desk!

Baltimore Comic Con is upon us.  No time to record a podcast this weekend, so I decided to invite you into my office for lunch to talk about Solar, Man of the Atom, Steve Dillon sketches, more fun with the latest version of Collectorz.com’s Comic Collector, and finally my Recent Reads!

Recent Reads:

  • Y the Last Man TPB #9 & 10
  • Patsy Walker Hellcat #2
  • Astonishing X-Men #26
  • Superman #679
  • Skaar, Son of Hulk #2

  • Final Crisis: Revelations #1
  • Kick Ass #1
  • American Dream #1 & 2
  • Galaxy Quest #1
  • And brief mentions of M.I.M.E.S, Tyrannosaurus Beth, and Titanium Rain #1

The sound levels are a bit wonky in this episode, so apologies for that… but it was weird recording at work with people walking by my office!  No time for sound checks!

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
