Altered Egos Comics Podcast

It is just Carey and Jonathan, talking about the books that made it in for New Comic Book Day 07/22/2015, and then look ahead to those titles expected for 07/29/2015. The Ramble On is a rambling mystery, even to the Altered Egos crew and they recorded it. Maybe it is about trade paperbacks? Well, Carey and Jonathan eventually get through it and give recommendations at the end.

Jonathan can't speak right from the get go, but with the help of Carey and Fred, he is able to muddle through the items that made it to the store for New Comic Book Day 07/15/2015, and then look ahead to 07/22/2015. The Altered Egos Podcast crew takes their Ramble On time to ramble through past podcasts, answering an email from William Watson, why Jonathan reads #1 issues, and the potential impacting significance of the new Archie book. They also take time to revisit Episode 31 (Have Mic, Will Ramble) before finally comparing the Eisner nominations and Carey and Jonathan's picks to the actual winners that were announced at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con.

Jonathan and Carey are joined this week again by friend of the show, Fred Justyna. Together, the trio look at the books that made it into the store for New Comic Book Day 07/08/2015, as well as those that are expected for 07/15/2015. Continuing from last week's discussion about the Confederate Flag and the Southern Bastards #10 variant cover, the Ramble On tries to talk about pop culture relevancy of comics books today. Specifically highlighting Strange Fruit #1 and Negative Space #1 from this week, the talk is about books that seem to be presently relevant versus those that are truly are on the crest of pop culture's wave.

Carey carries the podcast with Jonathan to cover the books that made it into the store for the first week of July and those that they are expecting the next New Comic Book Day, 07/08/2015. Before getting to the recommendations for the week, Jonathan fumbles through a Ramble On about the Confederate Battle Flag and his own feelings on it, and the SOUTHERN BASTARDS #10 charity variant.

In this week's episode of the Altered Egos Comics Podcast, we learn that comic creators are not the only ones that we attempt horrible name pronunciations with. Jonathan is joined by Fred Justyna (pronounced "Just Tina", and not "Just in ya" as we had been doing), and the two discuss the books that made it in for the last New Comic Book Day of June 2015 (06/24/2015) and those expected for the first New Comic Book Day of July 2015 (07/01/2015). Before getting to their recommendations for this week, the Ramble On continues with last week's theme, fanhood questioning.

Fred Justyna is back for another go with the Altered Egos Comics Podcast crew. We review the New Comic Book Day titles for 06/17/2015 (GO READ THORS #1 NOW!!!), and look ahead to what to expect for 06/24/2015. Before the usual chills, thrills, and spills of our recommendations, Fred and Jonathan begin the Ramble On about comic fandom, first asking the question, "When was the last time your comic fandom was questioned?".

A lot of voices on the Altered Egos Comics Podcast this week. The Ramble On is the second part of our epic Avengers: Age of Ultron spoiler-rific review with Jonathan, Carey, and William. It was so long it just seemed right to split it into two pieces. We are joined by fan of the show and customer to the store, Fred Justyna. We sandwich the Ramble On between a review of books that made it in for 06/10/2015 and those expected 06/17/2015, and our weekly recommendations.

The Altered Egos Comics Podcast is augmented by the return of William Watson, and together with Carey and Jonathan, they give you the low down on books that came in this week, 06/03/2015, and those to be on the look out for next New Comic Book Day, 06/10/2015. Before getting to their recommendations, the intrepid trio embark on the much-anticipated in-depth review of Agengers: Age of Ultron. In fact, they ramble so long on AAoU, that the ramble is broken into 2 parts. Be sure to tune in next week for the second half of their review.

Apologies for the tinny echo, not sure where that is coming from. We will get that worked on for the next one. UPDATE: Apologies again for the update, but I think the sound is a a whole heap cleaner now, and back to our normal level of audio mediocrity. The Altered Egos Comics Podcast this is week is Jonathan and Carey reviewing the books that came in this week, 05/27/2015, and those titles to look out for on the next New Comic Book Day, 06/03/2015. The duo does not give the promised spoiler-filled review of Avengers Age of Ultron, but instead answer a listener email, have a little revelation about in-store games that are played (Guess What Jonathan Is Taking Home This Week), and talk about continuity because of the potential impact of Convergence #8.

The Altered Egos Comics Podcast is back and talking about items that came into the store 05/20/2015, and those items that they all look forward to for 05/27/2015. Jonathan and Carey stumble through the Ramble On, trying to not only find their way, but find a superhero that isn't derivative of either Marvel or DC.

The Altered Egos Comics Podcast discuss books that came out 05/13/2015, and those items that they all look forward to for 05/20/2015. The night is made special as Josh is able to set for a spell and jaw about the funny books, Carey wishes his paternal parental unit a joyous natal anniversary, and Jonathan declares not only that trees are the new zombies, but his trepidation at the thought of our new arboreal overlords. The Ramble on features the belated debut of a potential regular feature, top in-store sales. With Josh in attendance, the group reviews again Free Comic Book Day, now with Josh's first hand experiences.

Having survived Free Comic Book Day, Jonathan and Carey talk about items that that came into the store 05/06/2015, what is expected for 05/13/2015. Before getting into their recommendations, the two Ramble On about May 2nd, 2015, known through out the realms as Free Comic Book Day and all the glory therein.

'twas the night before Free Comic Book Day, when all through the shoppe, Jonathan and Carey were pocasting about the week. The signage was hung around the store, in the hopes that customers would be well aware. April had ended, it was May at last, and the Avengers are in theatres, and we all had a blast. Jonathan and Carey start rambling almost immediately, talk about items that that came into the store 04/29/2015, what is expected for 05/06/2015, and then talk around Avengers Age of Ultron spoiler free. Look for the full, spoiler filled review at a later date. The title that Jonathan couldn't remember at the time was Mercenary Sea, and to find the the ear worm that Josh is crushing to at the moment, search for "Hawkeye Sings About His Super Powers" on YouTube.

Carey and Jonathan are together to cover the items that made it into the store 04/22/2015 and those that they are expecting 04/29/2015. The Ramble On meanders a little through the latest internet kerfuffle around All New X-Men, Iceman, and Brian Michael Bendis, ultimately getting lost and going nowhere. The pair then offer their opinion on the latest Eisner nominations before giving their reading recommendations

After many weeks away, Josh is back on the podcast and joins Jonathan and Carey to talk about books that made it to the store 04/15/2015 and what is expected 04/22/2015. To celebrate Carey's transition from volunteer to staff at Altered Egos Comics & Games, the ramble starts on his first week impressions. The trio briefly touch on some behind the scenes operation details, movie trailers and why Josh doesn't watch them, and finally, the recommendations.

It is Jonathan, Carey, and William (unprecedented 3 in a row for Will!) talking about items that came into the store 04/08/2015 and those that have a high quantum probability of appearing in the store on 04/15/2015. The group discusses how to order their stack for maximum reading enjoyment, the life lessons learned from being in a fight, and the nature of being under- or overwhelmed (but never just whelmed). And to celebrate the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the trio offer commentary on the first episode of the new Daredevil series, Into the Ring.

Jonathan, Carey, and William gather around the mic to talk those books that made it in on April Fools Day and those converging at reality on 04/08/2015. The three then continue on about continuity and its impact on storytelling before getting on to their recommendations.

Grand Master Watson and Jay Bizzle couldn't make the podcast, so William and Jonathan stand in as replacements for them. They highlight the books that made it into the store 03/25/2015 and those expected 04/01/2015. The Ramble starts with the concept of comic book as culture and then meanders off into the woods to never be seen again before reading recommendations are made.

North Florida Comic Con head man and Comic Dojo sensei Greg Hopkins joins Jonathan in the shop to talk about items that made it into the store 03/18/2015 and those that are due to be in the shop 03/25/2015. The Ramble sees the two covering some recent comic book news, like the potential death of Donatello, the death of Terry McGiniss (Batman Beyond), and the controversial Batgirl Joker Variant Cover.

William is back and together with Jonathan, the duo conversate on items in the store 03/11/2015 and coming to the store 03/18/2015. They then spin off into an epic Ramble covering video gaming of yore, Howard the Duck, the nature of film reboots and sequels, and why William stays with comic books.
