Episode 094: Yet Another New 52 Wave

With the scrapping of Justice League International, Captain Atom, Resurrection Man and Voodoo, DC was left with four open slots to maintain their “52” quota. What’d they decide to go with? A has-been character that I doubt anyone really cares about, a team of rejects from cancelled series, a girlie fantasy and one very interesting character created by fresh writing blood. Yes, we were harsh during this episode, but only because it was deserved.

This week, Vince and I discuss (over crackers) some new things coming to digital comics. There are some cool projects on the horizon, and we’re excited to see them grow. We also tackle Skullkickers issues 14-15, which give us the origin of “the gun”! Fantastic stuff. Enjoy.

Episode 078: Exalted

Episode 078: Exalted

This week, Vince and I have the pleasure of discussing an absolutely fantastic story arc which ran in Astonishing X-Men recently, penned by Greg Pak. “Exalted” is a great story involving alternate dimensions, complete with a kid Kurt and his adorable Spider-Man lunchpail. Seriously… I want to adopt that kid. We both really enjoyed this story, though did have choicer words for some of what we’ve been reading; I’m looking at you Avenging Spider-Man, The Walking Dead and the Astonishing X-Men which followed Pak’s run. Enjoy the show.

Episode 74: Jim Zub Interview

Episode 74: Jim Zub Interview

This week, Vince and I were very happy to welcome Jim Zubkavich to the show. Jim’s the writer behind Skullkickers and Makeshift Miracle and just an all around fantastic guy; I’d expect no less from a fellow Canadian. Vince and I both love Skullkickers, and were dying to sit ’round and chat with Jim about this quirky series. Jim didn’t disappoint. This was a fantastic interview and I’m certain you’ll all enjoy it. If you’d like to read more about him, I asked him to e-mail me his site details, and here’s what I got from him: My Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/JimZub My blog: http://www.zubkavich.com My deviantART page: http://zubby.deviantart.com/ SKULLKICKERS http://www.skullkickers.com/ and specifically our Treasure Trove ordering page here: http://www.skullkickers.com/2012/01/skullkickers-treasure-trove-arrives-in-april/ and issues we’re serializing online: http://skullkickers.keenspot.com/ Our Tavern Tales Contest (running until the end of the month): http://www.skullkickers.com/contest/ MAKESHIFT MIRACLE http://www.makeshiftmiracle.com and our book pre-order page: http://makeshiftmiracle.keenspot.com/TheBook.html He wasn’t lying when he said he’s easy to find online; he’s pretty much everywhere.
