Oooh, good! I really like Merino's work.

@skeets - That is some damn fine art. Thanks for the link.
I have really enjoyed both G.I. Joe Origins and Cobra. I am not sure which is the better series (I think I prefer Cobra). Unfortunatly, my shop didn't get G.I. Joe Origins #3 this week. IDW needs to get its shit together. They have some very solid work being done, but that doesn't matter if I can't physically buy the book.

Yeah, I haven't seen much of his, but his issue of Superman a few months back was really cool.
Posted by skeets on 05/03/09 at 07:29 PM
Ah rats, for a split second I thought that the video show was an all omnibus/absolute show.

@Gabe - wasn't the mini enough?

Guys the Post Office does pick ups, you don't need to go down there all the time
Posted by Heroville on 05/03/09 at 08:58 PM
@Heroville: Our mailings our quite complex.
Posted by conor on 05/03/09 at 09:03 PM
I'm really glad to hear Josh thanking all of the members. This summer when I'm able to scrape the cash together, I'll be joining at the highest level (That's my goal at least.) I love all the content on this site and definitely wanna lend a hand.
Posted by Anson17 on 05/03/09 at 09:47 PM
Nova #24.....was good....I mean there was nothing wrong with it. But I didnt see the excitement of this issue like you guys did. If this was issue #14 then yes, cause the past issues have been great. But since like issue #21 this has been a slow moving comic.

Great podcast as usual guys. Got my member pack last week. Came with an issue of Madman! with Darwyn Cooke art, so that was AWESOME (definitely going to have to pick up the book in trade now).
Posted by jerichobp on 05/03/09 at 10:09 PM
Thanks for the podcast, guys!

In my infinite wisdom, I jumped on to JSA with this issue. Way to go me!
Posted by Megnolia on 05/03/09 at 11:06 PM
You can at least use this issue to figure out if it's something you like, and if so, go and get some of the past issues, I guess. Silver lining?
Posted by josh on 05/03/09 at 11:10 PM
@josh True. i liked the characterization of this issue and picked up some past issues at the back issue bins at FCBD, so I'm gonna try it out.
Posted by Megnolia on 05/03/09 at 11:27 PM
so did anyone read Saviour 28? Josh, i think you might dig it. it's about a captain america type superhero that realise violence is futile after Sept. 11. Good stuff.
And Great episode. keep up the good work
Posted by edward on 05/04/09 at 01:05 AM
Glad you dug it, gentlemen. Next one will be coming soon.

@edward Did the second issue of Saviour 28 come out? I really liked the first one but I wasn't aware that there had been a new one.
@Mart I don't think she's revered, she's just appreciated for her contributions as a member of the team. Though if I recall she was one of the first, if not the first, members of the 'new' generation in JSA so I can see treating her as a little extra special.

I received my membership package a few days ago. It was excellent. I got Madman Atomic Comics #10, and I was completely lost throughout the entire thing. I now want to read all of it.
Speaking of old Avengers stories, I was talking to a coworker about FCBD. I was hoping I could convince him to go. Instead, he brought a stack of early '90s comics he had in his basement that he wanted to get rid of. What does this have to do with the Avengers? In the stack was West Coast Avengers #102, the last issue. It was beautiful.

I would like to congratulate Mike Romo on a job well done!!
Josh and Conor...you guys did ok.
Posted by drakedangerz on 05/04/09 at 02:29 PM
@OhCaroline: MY store just got the first issue. so it's been out for a while? hmmm
Posted by edward on 05/04/09 at 03:56 PM
@edward I know I saw it a while ago, probably more than a month. Maybe they reissued or reordered #1? Anyway, it's an interesting first issue. I heard JM DeMatteis talk about it on Word Baloon, and it basically incorporates some storylines he wanted to use in Captain America but wasn't allowed.
Posted by ohcaroline on 05/04/09 at 04:04 PM
I just listened to the podcast, and at the beginning I thought, "Is Josh doing an Ira Glass impression or am I imagining things?"
Indeed.
Nice show, as always.
Posted by ohcaroline on 05/04/09 at 08:16 PM
I would love to see how long I could do Ira Glass in a given show.
Posted by josh on 05/04/09 at 08:33 PM
@Ohcaroline: i heard that podcast. JM DeMatteis really did a fantastic job of selling the book. It's a brillant concept. Josh! Come On, it's right up your alley, brother.
Posted by edward on 05/05/09 at 01:34 AM
Shit, I don't even feel like listening this week. I don't think you guys got one title listed that I read...

this is the sound of a sad voilin, robbydzwonar

Re Ennis' Tankies :-
'Ooop the spooot' = 'Up the spout' i.e. there's a shell ready to fire in the breech of the gun barrel
Also artist Carlos Ezquerra is best known on this side of the pond for co-creating Judge Dredd rather than his work with Garth :)
Posted by Marbles on 05/05/09 at 06:57 AM
@Josh,
Would love to hear it. I've been obessed with "This American Life" lately, so when the POW Podcast came on I thought I might have selected the wrong thing on my iPod.
Posted by Nate on 05/05/09 at 12:53 PM
@Marbles - Once again our 2000 AD ignorance is laid bare.
But I did know what "ooop the spooooot" was. And it was awesome.
Posted by josh on 05/05/09 at 01:08 PM
OOOH if Nova 24 came out does this mean that the next giant sized hardcover may not be far behind? *Gimme hands*
Posted by jmstump on 05/06/09 at 09:19 PM
Whua? When did I turn into superchuck? That was my review of LOTW, right? I'm not gone crazy? Oh well, nobody's human.
Great podcast, as always. The best part is that since I got my box from DCBS, I was able to listen to it withou skipping around.
