Episode 042: Planet Hulk

This week, Vince and I tackle Planet Hulk. This story arc, in addition to World War Hulk which followed, were absolutely fantastic and should be on everyone’s reading list. We didn’t tackle too much of WWH, as it simply would have taken too long, however we did touch on it enough to give our thoughts on it, as well as some of the tie-ins.

Episode 040: Morgan Freakin’ Freeman

Excited fangirls can sigh contently, for Vince is indeed back this week, though sitting comfortably in the passenger seat. I told him he’d have to read Deus Ex: Human Revolution for this episode, and just as I’d figured, I got a thanks out of him for that. This week, we talk about that mini-series, as well as the 8 issue run of Batman Beyond which is not on hold until DC can figure out what to do with the series post-relaunch.

Episode 039: The Return of the Mighty Joe

This week, with Vince on holidays, Joe from our For The Lore podcast decides to step up to the plate and delivers a slammin’ home run. Ok, enough with the sports metaphors. We are, after all, a comic book podcast, and when it comes to such things, Mr. Perez is indeed well versed. He and I talk about Flashpoint to this, well, point. We discuss all of the tie-ins, and give our thoughts on those which we think were amazing, as well as the few that we thought were lacking.

Episode 038: We heart Remender

The problem with editing a ‘clean’ podcast, is that you not only have to listen for every swear, but that you also want to keep a close ear for any inappropriate discussions or comments as well. The problem with co-hosting and editing a ‘clean’ podcast, is that you know just how much work goes into cleaning up a podcast. A swear here or there is nothing the quack out, however comments are a little trickier to either edit out entirely (while still maintaining continuity) or splice in such a fashion as to make them seem clean. So what happens when you know all of the work that is involved and you start on a comparison that is likely to be raunchy? Well, you stop yourself and sound like you’ve just had an aneurysm. For the record; “like shots out of a strippers navel”. You’ll know where to insert that.

Episode 035: Vince on Location

This week’s episode of the Comic Book Informer podcast was an exercise in frustration and fun. Vince’s modem died right before recording, and being the ever dedicated podcaster that he is, he headed outside, in a coming storm, so that he could get the best possible reception so as to Skype into the broadcast from his phone. I lost him a couple of times, but we did manage to still get an absolutely fantastic episode, with lots of Spider-Man and Flashpoint chatter… as well as one of our favorite series; Chew. Enjoy.

Episode 032: Bring out yer dead!

This week is an exciting week. That’s right, this is the week that ol’ Peter Parker finally bites the bullet. No spoiler warning required, as they’ve been advertising this “Death of Spider-Man” for months. Both Vince and I read our issues today and had to talk about it. Know that we spoil quite a few things from the issue, but it’s quite obvious what this story was going to be about. Also discussed is the current Uncanny X-Men story-arc that just ended, as well as the upcoming reboot.

Episode 031: Hammer Time

After giving Flashpoint a lot of praise last week, we decided to tackle Marvel’s major story-line this week. Sadly, there was very little praise. In fact, there was a whole lotta disgust and disappointment. Also this week, we discuss the end of the Uncanny X-Men, as well as some more DC Relaunch news.

Episode 030: Thpoyler Alert

This week sees me in the big boy chair, and Vince in the crib as we discuss Flashpoint at great length. Both Vince and I have been seriously diggin’ this story-arc, and are able to easily see it as the perfect launching pad for DC’s relaunch. We also cover some Generation Hope and Age of X post-mortem.
