Comments
You guys sound like you smoked a carton apeice, drank whiskey all night, and DJ'd 3 parties. It was awkwardly sexy;)
Posted by vadamowens on 07/26/09 at 02:02 PMWow, I give you guys props. You sound like wary soldiers about to imbark in one last, likely suicidal, battle befor the war is over. Yet you give us moments of your fleeting time to us, who failed to go to war. For this I salute you... and laugh slightly at your grizzled voices.

Nice episode.
Posted by chlop on 07/26/09 at 03:18 PMwow. no Legion of 3 Worlds. I guess you guys really didn't care for it.
Posted by ghettojourno on 07/26/09 at 03:39 PMI don't think they've read any other Legion Books. Ever.
Posted by CalebTheTimeTraveler on 07/26/09 at 04:48 PMI know Conor liked the Superman and the Legion of Superheroes arc on Action Comics. At least one issue was POW.
Legion rules. Can't wait for Adventure Comics!
Posted by PaulMontgomery on 07/26/09 at 04:58 PMBig ups to Caleb on show notes.
Posted by Tork on 07/26/09 at 05:02 PMWe don't want Bale to runin his voice?
Posted by yamiangie on 07/26/09 at 05:09 PMI'm a big fan of LEGION OF 3 WORLDS. But you can't talk about every book in the show.
Posted by conor on 07/26/09 at 05:13 PMFlipping the pages near the microphone: the new fingernails on chalkboard.
Posted by Jim on 07/26/09 at 05:16 PMI thought it was interesting to hear them looing at the comics while one of them talks
Posted by yamiangie on 07/26/09 at 05:18 PMNice works, guys. Thanks for getting this podcast done. I just assumed that Paul would have had to do it alone or something. Didn't think you'd all find the time to record this yesterday.
I didn't mind so much the nearly constant flipping of comics pages near the beginning of the podcast. It added versimilitude.
Oh, and Jimski (at least, I'm pretty sure it was Jimski) calling out Conor and Ron for ignoring Josh's JACK OF FABLES discussion was great.
Thanks for busting your butts this week! I'm looking forward to seeing the video shows that come out of all this.
Posted by JeffR on 07/26/09 at 05:21 PMVery good show, guys. Ron wins the award of "Founding ifanboy Member Who Sounds The Least Like Death." I loved the "Green isn't primary" interjection. Also, did someone mention that Stryfe made an appearance in Captain Britain? This episode had a sense of urgency mixed with humor, which made it even better. One last question for anybody reading Guardians of the Galaxy: when the early 90's Guardians of the Galaxy showed up in this weeks issue, was Hollywood (an alternate future Wonderman) with them?
Posted by WonderManFan on 07/26/09 at 05:41 PMWho kept turning pages in the beginning!? That was kind of annoying when I'm listening to it with headphones.
Great podcast though!
Posted by BenBugenig on 07/26/09 at 05:51 PMNo guest spot for Paul? i guess he didn't make it to SD in time?
Posted by mikegraham6 on 07/26/09 at 06:24 PM@BenBugenig- yep, the headphones magnify the page-flipping to excruciating levels.
Posted by Jim on 07/26/09 at 06:29 PMThis is awesome. Thank you for being troopers after a rough night (hope fun) and doing the show for us.
Posted by AmirCat on 07/26/09 at 06:59 PMha ha. fables
Posted by edward on 07/26/09 at 07:00 PM@CalebTheTimeTraveler
Thanks!
Posted by AmirCat on 07/26/09 at 07:01 PMDamn... I was looking forward to a Paul-only show
Posted by eagle6002 on 07/26/09 at 07:02 PM@Josh - I totally agree with you on Jack of Fables. This was a return to the very fun stories of the early issues. I couldn't tell Willingham and Sturges weren't writing it.
Posted by stuclach on 07/26/09 at 07:27 PMY'know, I'ma huge fan of Peter Milligan (it's where I get my screen name) and I have to say I'm not liking his HB run. His John is too scummy for me. Or more accurately He's too scummy in the wrong sort of way.
Posted by changingshades on 07/26/09 at 07:56 PMGreat show guys. You sound like you're hurting inside.
Posted by g0ofgnewt on 07/26/09 at 08:24 PMAll that partying will catch up eventually.
I'm only on the 2nd minute of this and you all sound like your gonna die. I can't wait to go to SDCC one day...
Posted by TheNextChampion on 07/26/09 at 08:38 PMSorry for the double post, but I got a great idea!
You guys should go to director Todd Phillips and pitch yourselves to be the lead actors for 'Hangover 2: San Diego Comic-Con'
Posted by TheNextChampion on 07/26/09 at 08:47 PMThe extent of Atom Eve's powers, and the reason she can't modify people, is explained in the Invincible Presents: Atom Eve 2 issue mini that came out some time ago. More than likely Kirkman will touch on those points in the next issue.
Good show, even with Jimski's Invincible hating :P
Posted by drakedangerz on 07/26/09 at 08:56 PM
@Drake: DUH!!! :)
Posted by TheNextChampion on 07/26/09 at 09:02 PMAH!
The illustrator of the 1900s Oz books was John R. Neill, not Kevin O'Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). Important difference.
Tired.
Posted by Jimski on 07/26/09 at 09:58 PMgood podcast =)
Posted by rayclark on 07/26/09 at 10:10 PMI got a sore throat just listening to the show. Get some hot water with lemon and honey, boys.
Posted by Garrett on 07/27/09 at 02:37 AMI disagree with Jimski's assertion that Invincible's headbutts wouldn't cause that kind of damage. The point where Mark's head is making contact appears to be the very top of his head, above the forehead, which is the hardest part of the skull (when I used to 'wrassle', it was where one was taught to aim chairshots since it has the least risk of causing one to sound like the average wrestler in real life conversation). He's headbutting Conquest's face, basically the softest spot of the head. I don't think there's a logic problem as far as the outcome of his repeatedly headbutting Conquest's face off.
Plus, what else is he supposed to do? Every appendage on him was turned to red paint.
Plus, and this is very often neglected, Viltrumite milk. It does a body good, which in turn does another body very, very bad.
Posted by Jimski on 07/27/09 at 09:02 AMHaven't gotten a chance to download the show yet, but I just wanted to mention my appreciation for this week's pick and Conor's review -- I wouldn't have picked up Spider-Man without such a glowing review but I did and it was excellent. A truly deserving landmark issue; Slott did a great job with all the supporting characters, and even the backups were universally terrific. Thanks!
Posted by ohcaroline on 07/27/09 at 10:03 AM@captbastrd
Repeated knees to the groin!! That's what he could have done. All kidding aside, it isn't too big a leap in comic book logic.
Thanks for the dilligence in getting the show out guys!
Posted by MisterJ on 07/27/09 at 10:08 AMDude, the iFanboys need to mix in a little agua at the Con.
Posted by JonCrites on 07/27/09 at 10:24 AM@MisterJ: Do you really want that? You thought headbutting was bloody....
*closes legs* I dont wanna think about it!!! >_<
Posted by TheNextChampion on 07/27/09 at 07:31 PM@Josh @Conor @Ron Great to see you at the party. See ya next year.
Posted by SilverAgeTom on 07/27/09 at 07:41 PM@CaptBastrd: You beat me to it. I was also going to point out the whole difference in strength from the upper forehead to the face. It's actually very effective at crushing bone. Particularly bridge of the nose and orbital sockets. They're strong but in comparison to the forehead they won't hold up.
Good Show!
Posted by Crucio on 07/27/09 at 11:39 PMI suggest next comic con you guys hire people to do all the talking for you and save your voices for the podcast!
Posted by cromulent on 07/28/09 at 05:53 AMWell done for taking time out from sleep to put together a fun podcast. Are you kipping now?
Posted by Mart on 07/28/09 at 08:50 AMThank you so much for putting together the POW show on top of all the other coverage of the con. You guys are awesome!
and I agree with @vadamowens, the scratchy, gravely voices are kinda hot. You should lose your voices every week :)
Posted by WonderAli on 07/28/09 at 12:09 PMAwesome, thanks guys!
Posted by kwisdumb on 07/28/09 at 08:09 PMGood intro tune, and fun dining blog the other day. Great to hear this blog as well. <3
Posted by spiderphilman on 07/28/09 at 08:35 PM@spiderphilman: It's a podcast, not a blog. :-)
Posted by conor on 07/28/09 at 08:55 PMGreat show guys. The Party at Tivoli was epic and it was great to meet all of you.
Posted by victorbarriga on 07/28/09 at 10:10 PMBest. Episode. EVAR!
Posted by jackietam on 07/29/09 at 11:12 AMAnyone annoyed at the lack of a video show this week... listen to how wrecked these guys sound. I almost prefer these kinda shows, it's like listening to people talking the morning a reeeeaally heavy party.
Great show. And Phonogram is awesome.
Posted by Eyun on 07/30/09 at 08:26 AMI can't say I was annoyed at their Anti Video this week.
It took me till today to realize that they should have a new video up, so I'm not that ticked that there isn't one. But If I went on last night and didn't see one, I might have been more somewhat annoyed, if at all.
Posted by CalebTheTimeTraveler on 07/30/09 at 09:01 AMYou know what I've realized after reading Invincible 64 during the podcast?... Invincible is beginning to read like Dragon Ball Z or at least this arc.
Posted by Mangaman on 08/01/09 at 02:23 AMI find it funny that they say spider-man had more weight than green lantern, since the last issue of spider-man I read felt pointless.
Posted by mikeandzod21 on 08/02/09 at 04:39 PMThat is funny!
Posted by Jimski on 08/02/09 at 10:17 PMCool they actually put up my Notes.
I feel important now!
Posted by CalebTheTimeTraveler on 08/28/09 at 03:03 PM


Wow, that wuz fast.
