Komicskast

Just me babbling about a comic I remember fondly from my childhood - Superman Annual #3, inspired by something I heard on one of my favorite podcasts, Avenger's Inspirations. Mike's Amazing World Webpage: http://www.dcindexes.com/ Avenger's Inspirations Podcast: http://cmro.travis-starnes.com/podcast_main.php Jon Wilson's Golden Age Superman Podcast: http://goldenagesuperman.libsyn.com/ (You'd think I could remember Jon's last name, since it is the same as my Grandparents!)

A new KomicsKast: Marvel Month by Month has been posted on the new KK feed at KomicsKast.com This one features comics cover dated August 1962 - and in particular Amazing Fantasy 15 and Journey Into Mystery 83. Derek Coward teamed up with me on the AF, and Lyle Tucker and Van Reid joined in on the JIM segment, to discuss those issues. I also ramble on about the comics I recieved in my latest DCBS shipment, as well as those that I was expecting but did not receive (not DCBS's fault though).

Please listen to this show for big news concerning KomicsKast!

I think that the title of the episode sums it all up, but here's the rundown: New KomicsKast coming soon )I hope!) Digital Firsts? Don't you believe it! Why I'm dropping my subscription to Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine My thoughts on the recent movie, Parker. 

In this episode I talk about a wonderful original art page that I got from a comic that is based on the wonderful podcast radio show: The Red Panda - http://www.decoderringtheatre.com/ Visited a local con and managed to come away with only one book... but in the process forgot to buy something that I wanted to pick up there! There's a set of Crusader Rabbit cartoons out on DVD that has over 10 hours of the character I remember from my childhood. The Sixth Gun comics were going for really high prices.

Dutchy Digest #7 was completed JUST in time. We attended two shows - CGS Super Show and the S.P.A.C.E. show.  Ric and I talked about S.P.A.C.E. on The Book Cave What I did on Free Comic Book Day

Comixology's gives away 700 free titles AND CRASHES! But Comixology also had a BIG WIN (in my eyes) with it's Comixology Submit American Comic Book Chronicles 1960 - 1964: http://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1083&zenid=fimjpjrop1rbn6ku6849osjvv6 And while I spent the weekend trying to draw a big chunk of Dutchy Digest #7 (Dutchydigest.com) I watched several episodes of Fringe, and can't recommend it highly enough. I also watched Total Recall (the new one)

I apologize in advance! I'm all over the place on this one! (Or maybe that's a good thing?)

And lastly I talk about movies of interest that I've seen lately and what I thought of them.

I just wanted to mention a couple of my own favorite podcasts, as well as a new one. I've actually been catching up on some comics and this week I read All New X-Men 1 - 5 and the 2nd Volume of Daredevil. I'm also reading a neat Steampunk novel by a favorite artist.

This time I talk about a couple comics I read: Superior Spider-Man and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Ghoul Goblin #1. Then I rave about a new digital collection of Dick Briefer's Frankenstein that is not only wonderful, but wonderfully priced! Links that'll help: http://comicbookattic.blogspot.com/ http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dick+briefer

I had a chance to read Spider-Man 700 and related issues and I express some thoughts on the issues, and the controversy. Plus I discuss my resolutions for the new year.

I've been pretty lucky over the last couple weeks to receive four "first offered" movies; Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Expendables 2, Dark Shadows, and Men in Black 3. Am I really lucky, or is there some other reason that I've managed to get the four DVD's the first week they were offered?

I guess the title says it all! Or at least most of it... I do mention Fringe as well as two of my favorite podcasts: http://thedailyrios.com/ http://www.scifidig.com/ I'll be back in a couple says with some thoughts on (and experiences with) computers.

I had a chance to watch the animated Dark Knight Returns feature that came out recently. Herein are my thoughts, as wishy-washy as they might be!

The owner of the comic shop that I've been going to for 26 years, Nick Yutko, has passed away. Just some reminiscing...  R.I.P. Nick Yutko 1961 - 2012

The last couple weeks have been a blur. I talk about that and founder around desperately for some comics stuff to talk about.

Sorry I've been delinquent with my episodes - explanation herein. I also talk about a comic I bought and read this week - The Saint - From Moonstone. See you in a week.

Just a short one this time, but I just had to gush about this wonderful volume!
