Just a correction, its Morning Glories #9. Anyway, can’t wait to listen!
Avengers 12.1 was really good, i agree. I enjoyed that one a great deal.
Jeff’s questions blew the DCU wide open!
Love Goodfellas
Awesome questions by Jeff. Josh doing voices. Ron cackling like a maniac. All that equals a great episode.
I feel like it’s been said that digital comics are still “new” for a while now.
In truth marvel has had digital comics for a decade now.
Yes there is more complexity to putting them out other than just a posting a file.
But
The technology is absolutely there- it’s so there –
The online purchase model is there- people have voted with there dollars on what they want to pay for digital content.
More than a few companies are there even – Archie comics seem to do it- people like Mike Norton and compay are putting out there work in multiple formats- and at an incredibly reasonable price model.
DarkHorse is doing something interesting- IDW etc and etc
Hickman has it right when he said the only real stumbling block to wide spread adoption of
the digital age is pubs being afraid to piss off brick and mortar stores.
Period.
“Venom #2 gives going and giving” ?
@edward That’s not what it says.
@josh oh, that must be my schizophrenia playing on
If I don’t win a prize pack soon I’m filing a formal complaint with Carol.
Fuck that Doomsday storyline. I want to read Superman fighting Nazis and hunting down biblical artifacts!
hmm this will be interesting podcast. You guys liked some stuff that i hated. I wonder what i missed? Hopefully its a light week so i can re-read things.
@edward Canberrans must have problems reading…oh wait
Is “Ruggburn” trademarked yet? Because that’s damn good.
I believe the situation with Secret Avengers is that Spencer is doing a mini-arc over the next few issues and then Ellis comes on for at least 6 issues starting with #16. He has said that if he can get those first done on time he will do 6 more. All of Ellis’ issues are said to be done in one stories.
@warmachine15 It was coined during Rugg’s apperance on the Ink Panthers podcast.
I agree with Conor, that intervention was needed in Flash, Barry’s been rubbish to his family and friends since he came back. Of course, Professor Zoom’s meddling can’t have helped his mood. Still, once Flashpoint is over I hope he’s more centred and cheery – otherwise, send him back to the Speed Force, fifthwith!
damn, i knew i should have listened to the whole podcast last night. thanks for answering my questions guys, can’t wait to finish the podcast once i get off work
I’m with Ron on his thoughts on this issue and all of the current run of Flash. I was new to the Flash when I jumped on at issue 1 last year, and it was fantastic. Then about issue 6 or so it just lost me because the book felt flat and a little forced. The delay kind of killed the momentum a little, but I think that’s mostly a moot point.
Where is this interview with garbrial hernandez?
@kevrum Here.
Thank you sir.
I agree with the Reign of Doomsday arc. It was confusing at every turn and not very thought it. Hoping with it now being in Action Comics that it’ll step up it’s game.
I think you guys have convinced me to pick up the Local HC. Thanks!
