Allred made Stilt-man cool looking
Allred’s art on Daredevil is such a godsend, he has such a different and rock n roll style that’s so entertaining. Quite frankly, anyone who doesn’t have fun seeing his art should have their taste questioned in…well…everything!
“Quite frankly” made me think Frank Quietly.
That’s where he got his pen-name! His actual name is Vincent Deighan if I remember correctly.
Completely agree, Allred is fantastic. Unfortunately his Marvel Now! book is with Fraction.
I love how Ron pronounces “RAWR- SHACK”
The first radio shows were invented to hold the audience’s interest in between the advertisements. So when you think about it, you’re actually paying for the ads when you buy the monthlies.
Great podcast!Looking forward every Sunday for each show.However I’m missing the video comic book reviews!When are we gonna see those again?
If I had to guess, I say after NYCC in October. Assuming the guys are attending and doing interviews at the convention
I randomly found a copy of Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter at my secondary LCS. I would never have given the book a second glance had it not been for the BOTM selection.
Now, I am going to hand write a letter of apology to Darwyn Cooke. I finished the book so fast. I bought the next two hardcovers on Amazon.
Also, my LCS had gotten in extra copies of Saga #1, so I broke down and got that as well (I was gonna wait for trades). I bought the remaining five issues the next day.
iFanboy (community included), you’ve done your job well. (but man, I wish I had heard about “Parker” sooner.)
What was the controversy over Butcher Baker? Was the issue a sudden finale or something?
The Artiest and writer can’t seem to get along.
##Artist###
On the ads in comics thing that’s another awesome things about digital comics. I haven’t read an ad since I I made the switch to all digital and the occasional trade.
Great show guys. I often gripe about the ads in comics, but then I remember that it was an ad that first got me to check out iFanboy, so they’re not all bad.
Uncanny X-Force has been extra amazing for the last three issues. Ron???? Conor maybe??
