A rotating, (or maybe not-schedules are all kinds of buggered up) panel hangs around the back of Curt’s Comics in Branford, CT, (or the Rev’s apartment) and bullshits on comics. They include:
Long time listener and this is my first e-mail to you guys. I needed some input on a few issues and I had no other people who I could get an insiders opinion from.
Okay here goes. What in the GAY HELL are with all the plastic magic rings in the DC universe? I had the pleasure of attending that big con in SD that I have herd the Tech Jedi mention. When I went to Comic Con international there was one Green Lantern and a few fan boys had green plastic rings. This past weekend I went to a local con near where I live and there are blue, black, pink, orange, powder blue, vermillion and plaid lanterns. One fan geek had 8 fingers covered in plastic rings…. What gives??? Did someone clone the Green Lantern? There is apparently a rat’s nest o’ lanterns.
Speaking of the San Diego Comic Con….. People there were skinnier…. All the CPT Piccard’s in the Pacific North West are FAT…… oh and apparently Grunge is still in here or the fan boys are all “Green” here b/c they must be trying to save h2o by not SHOWERING.
Can you please give me the scoop on Dark Reign? From the posters I saw it looks like the Bad Guys finally win. ??
I went to the Marvel panel here and it seems like the Marvel writers are mostly from the Left Coast and a lot of them live in Portland.
A cubby guy in an Air Force hat mentioned some political strife in an issue of CPT America. The panel moderator mentioned having to apologize for something can you spread more light on that? Although the mod reminded people that comics aren’t real… apparently that was a shock to some of the comic book geeks in attendance.
Who is Thunderstrike? Who are the Runaways? Does Joan Jett have her own comic?
I am in my 30’s and consider myself a REGULAR GUY. I am into the pop culture and comics arenas but I don’t think I am a FANBOY. This is why I am asking you guys for help. I tried to ask some of the militants running around the con but they looked at me like I was stupid for not knowing and rambled on more than Sheldon.
What Are We?
We are a Podcast aimed at looking at Comics and Comics related themes slightly differently. Whereas most people, whom we courteously link to on the left, do a wholllle lot of gushing and promotion, and are often right in doing so, we're more about opinions on just how...well, less than totally optimal some books can be. NOT to say we won't gush, but the fact is, as passionate as we are about comics, you're probably going to find some arguments and some serious potty mouth. We do NOT recommend this site or it's accompanying podcast to anyone under 18.
We're also a spoiler Podcast.
You already know what that means. Don't make us collectively slap you.
We're on Podcast Alley, iTunes, FeedBurner, The Comic Forums, and ComicSpace and Facebook
