Mon, 25 June 2007  Titles we spoil this week: AMORY WARS, TANK GIRL, REPO, MARVEL
MYTHOS SPIDERMAN, X-MEN ENDAGERED SPECIES, GREEN ARROW, NEW X-MEN,
WORLD WAR HULK, PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL, NOVA, CAPTAIN AMERICA, FALLEN
SON: SPIDER-MAN, FLASH, SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN, NEW AVENGERS,
COUNTDOWN, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, SPIRIT, MOON KNIGHT, FRANKLIN RICHARDS:
BOY GENIUS, JUSTICE, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. This was supposed to be
our con wrap-up show, but none of us are finished with our con books!
We have too much catching to do, so instead we talk about our books,
ThuMberBolts, Rusty gets confused by comics almost as bad as me, as
much as we love the guy no way Cap is knocking out the Hulk, I have NO
FRIGGIN’ IDEA what the HELL is going on in the DC Universe, lapdances
from Hero Envy, what cons might we be attending in the future, and Dr.
Sexy’s genetic make-up.
The Spirit, directed by Frank Miller,
is just going to be a train wreck. We love Frank Miller, but we have
absolutely no confidence that Frank’s still got the skills to handle
this.
I know I’m the only person here that’s excited about season two of Who Wants to Be A Super Hero, but even I’m shuddering at how stupid some of these “heroes� appear to be. Having said that, I’ve got high hopes for my man Mindset. Kick their ass, Steve-Dave!
Stan Lee is the bomb, but he just needs to sit on a beach somewhere
and relax. The man’s being worked ridiculously right now, and these latest “projects� are going to smear an incredible legacy that he created. Kinda like Bill Clinton, only with (slightly less) cigar time.
How are rooms in Baltimore more expensive than New York City AND
Philadelphia? Also, what the hell is up with Con people ignoring email?
Jerks. Or maybe they’re slighting us on purpose - in which case, I
absolutely cannot fault them at all. If you’re attending Wizard World
Chicago, you really need to check out the guide that Comic Book Queers put together.
If you were turned on to the show from the Philly Con, first, sorry; second this is the first REAL episode
we’ve done since we’ve been back. Except we’re missing our engineer, so
don’t listen expecting decent quality or anything ridiculous like that.

Sun, 17 June 2007  A VERY brief update. We start out by making TERRIBLE jokes - sorry, but we were just too tired to make any sort of sense or be clever, we remembered to plug Leo and his awesome comic - young guy, but his comic is really great ( check it out), we befriend and over our sage advice to young artists (and their hot mom), did we mention we love the Hero Envy guys (especially their wives - mmmmmm, other people's wives....), Steve McNiven's line showed up today and rumbled with Arthur Suydam's line and blocked our entire aisle, and we actually met a fan and someone from the Comic Book Queers forums (did you get any sleep last night, howtaobrowncow?). All in all, it was a VERY long day, so we apologize for not going into better detail. We do have a lot more pictures to share with you, and once we all get back from the show, we'll get them up for your viewing pleasure.

Sat, 16 June 2007  The Monster Maker makes Dr. Sexy go INSANE (or at least interrupting
him while he tries to discuss it does) - although it's actually the "Mighty Men and Monster Maker," the fear of being asked by Archaic to talk about their book
(which proved to be a needless fear, as their book is awesome), being
tackled by Hero Envy (and I apologize for my stupid laugh the entire
time that tale's being retold, but honestly, it was THAT funny) and
having ribs broken, how did Brielle and the Horror do their artwork (because it's fantastic), Jonnie Allan from Stykman is possibly one of the coolest creators to be next to EVER, we absolutely love DJ Coffman,
Mike Cotton from Wizard will apparently come when random idiots scream
his name, the homeless people from NYC have moved into
Philly, and HappyJack TOTALLY got suckered in by the babes from PLB Comics.
I was going to wait until Monday to post this
(which is why you might notice the file name is a bit off of the actual
date), but I'm already exhausted from the Con, and it's entirely
possible come Monday I'll be dead, so why wait, right? And really, I
don't see the point in making you folks wait, considering the terrible
quality of the recording. But hey, for being recorded on a handheld
after a night of Irish-pubbing, it's not as bad as it COULD be...

Mon, 11 June 2007 
Titles we spoil this week: COUNTDOWN 47,
DETECTIVE COMICS #833, JACK OF FABLES #11, JONAH HEX #20, MIDNIGHTER
#8, OUTSIDERS #48, WELCOME TO TRANQUILITY #7, INVINCIBLE #42, AVENGERS
INITIATIVE #3, DAREDEVIL BATTLIN JACK MURDOCK #1, DARK TOWER GUNSLINGER
BORN #5, IRREDEEMABLE ANT-MAN #9, LONERS #3, MARVEL ADVENTURES
SPIDER-MAN #28, MARVEL ZOMBIES ARMY OF DARKNESS #4, NEW WARRIORS #1,
PUNISHER #48, UNCANNY X-MEN #487, BLACK SUMMER #0, LONE RANGER #6,
RAISE THE DEAD #3. We also discuss the upcoming Philly Con, why Gail
Simone and Dan Slott should get married and adopt me, Kaigon needs to
stop bothering redesigning N3 and get back to doing his comic, I'm
going to sell 100 copies of HappyJack's comic (better get there
early!), pimping other 'casts at the con, and superfluous nipples.
I'd apologize for this being late, but I honestly think our
relationship has reached that level of comfort that allows us to be
frank with each other. Or Hawkeye. I didn't even really edit this one, so we'll be listening to all the screw-ups and wincing together. It'll be a bonding experience!
We're going to be at booth 2407. I have no idea where 2705 came
from. Sheesh. Stop by and get your greetings on! We're not going to be
wearing N3RD shirts, cuz I'm lazy. Also, cheap. If you want to figure
out where we're going to be in relation to the rest of the building,
you can see the floorplan here.
The Con dominates the horizon. It's actually why this episode was
late - well, peripherally. I had a ton of things to get done before
con, and this rated lower than some of them (things like putting
together bail money, writing down our emergency medical contacts, etc).
It's been a great deal of insanity, gearing up for this thing. I'm
looking forward to life calming down a bit.

Mon, 4 June 2007  Titles we spoil this week: HELLBOY DARKNESS CALLS #2, COUNTDOWN 48,
DEADMAN #10, JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #6, TEEN TITANS #47, RIDE DIE
VALKYRIE #1, DAREDEVIL #97, MAGICIAN APPRENTICE #7, NEW AVENGERS
ILLUMINATI #3, PUNISHER PRESENTS BARRACUDA MAX #4, SILENT WAR #5,
SILVER SURFER REQUIEM #1, SPIDER-MAN FAIRY TALES #1, BLACK COAT OR GIVE
ME DEATH #1, BOYS #7. We also discuss that guy that writes Manhunter
(yeah, I�m good with names), Roller Derby, the Olsen Thrust, the
upcoming Philly Con, why HappyJack can�t start a fight with Palmiotti
at the Philly Con, HappyJack sitting on his balls, tapping tailpipes,
and Dr. Sexy gets offended at my male rape offendedness.
I�m such an idiot: Manhunter�s written by Marc Andreyko. If you want to listen to the great interview with him, it�s over at Comic Book Queers (episode 33).
Lancaster�s Roller Derby Girls are right here, if you�re interested.
Good entertainment at a decent price, so if you�re in the area, come
check it out.
If you�re wondering about the Olsen Thrust, you really need to read this.
For those of you in the area (the King of Prussia area, that is),
stop in and see Dr. Sexy and his gang in the Daredevils of Comedy
improv comedy show at Kildare�s in King of Prussia.
We�ll try and drag HappyJack out with us, and I think we can drag Rusty
(and possibly even Ted) along for the hyucks. So if nothing else, it�ll
be a good warm-up for Philly (providing we don�t get arrested, that is).
