Show Notes
Josh takes us on a fairy tale journey back to the world of Alan Moore’s Top Ten with the mini-series Smax, written by Alan Moore with art by Zander Cannon. Warning: Discussing this book might cause World of WarCraft flashbacks.
Ron pays tribute to a truly legendary creator with X-Men Visionaries: Neal Adams. No modern day artist packs as much innovation into the pages of a comic book as Neal Adams did, and he was doing it 40 years ago!,
Conor rotates things 90 degrees with Batman: Nine Lives, the DC Elseworlds tale by Dean Motter and Michael Lark and told in the unusual 16×9 format. Can the iFanboys handle a sideways hardboiled murder mystery?

And that’s how you sell comics to this man.
I love the vault shows!
I concur — nice vault show. That Bats book looks tasty, dudes.
great episode, i think I may need to pick up Smax (through the ifanboy amazon store of course)
mmm… pulpy.
Ooh, that NINE LIVES was a great book. Thanks for reminding the world, guys. I need to bring back my one man campaign for more sideways titles. . .
Nine Lives looks great!! Guess I’ll have to make another purchase.
Oh, man, these all look fantastic — I’ve seen the Smax book at my library and always assumed it wasn’t by Moore; I’ll have to seek it out now — the premise sounds great.
I have all those X-men issues on the DVD-ROM, but the color’s not great, and seeing the close-up scans makes me really want to have the book to hold in my hands. Adams’ character/costume designs for Angel and Beast, particularly, are some of my favorites.
And I want the ‘Nine Lives’ book as soon as I can figure out where I have the shelf space for a sideways hardback —
I want to know what gave Ron comfort…
… Also, I got distracted imagining Conor as Deadman for Halloween.
Larry King?
Really? What? is it ’cause he talks alot?
Wasn’t Larry King the peri-credit Easter Egg in this one?
It’s a true story!
This is the second time I’ve heard mention of Top Ten. I’ll have to pick up a copy of book one the next time I’m at the comic book store.
I think it’s funny that the only self described writer in the Ifanboy trio mis-uses the term "literally".
I’m poor and I have you to blame for these purchases:
League of Ex. Gentlemen Vol. I; LOEG the Black Dossier; Marvels; Sin City Hard Goodbye. All of these are fantastic. Thankfully I had some of the others you recommended or I would be with out electricity. lol
Seriosuly thanks for the great advice.

I went to the book shop today and read smax. But I had to leave without reading the last issue! There are five in total and the four I read were very good. Loads of references to other fiction and deals with some touchy subjects in a real comical way. Awesome.
that batman story looks really good
