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.

Episode 29: Wah Wahwah Wah

This week’s recordings were both supremely disappointing and hilarious. Yes, recordings… plural. Due to technical difficulties during our regular Wednesday night recording, which were entirely my fault, this is what our tracks looked like. The upper track is mine. The lower track… yes, that flat line, is Vince’s. Unfortunately, due to some Skype shenanigans, Vince’s portion of the conversation was not recorded. We decided to re-record on Thursday, which in hindsight was not that bad, seeing as DC decided to drop another bomb on us after we’d recorded on Wednesday. PS. I hope you enjoy our Peanuts inspired outtakes… the editing time required for those was quite lengthy… though in my opinion well worth it.

Episode 028: You Go Girl

This week, we tackled the new FF series, with everything that’s happened from issue 1 to the brand new 4. We’ve been enjoying it quite a bit, and the new interactions between Spider-Man and the remaining Fantastic Four members are proving to be a perfect blend of humor and action. We also discussed the Ultimate Death of Spider-Man as well as the Ultimate Avengers tie-in; both fun reads, though the length of this event is starting to cause it to lose steam… not to mention the knowledge of a replacement Spider-Man already planned. We also ranted about Alpha Flight, each for our own reasons. Vince hates that a brand new series requires a point one issue (and I agree). I just didn’t enjoy the issue at all. I also ranted about the way it has been handled in the past and what appears to be on the horizon for it now. For the record, when I said there isn’t a Canadian writer on it, I meant the current incarnation, not the original series… though truth be told, I didn’t know John Byrne had lived in Canada for a stint. A point of correction for Vince, Byrne was born in England and moved to Canada when he was 8. Does that make him any less Canadian? Naw…. I just like pointing out when Vince doesn’t have all of his facts right.

Episode 027: Janet Lee Interview

We’re very happy to have a fantastic interview with the Eisner-nominated artist behind ‘Return of the Dapper Men’ from Archaia; Janet Lee. Janet is currently working on ‘Jane Austen’s Emma’ by Marvel. Janet’s unique style has won her critical acclaim, and it was fantastic talking to her about the process she goes through to create each page. Prior to working on Dapper Men, Janet’s artwork sold in galleries (she also sells pieces online). I loved hearing her talk about the leap from being a gallery artist to a comic book artist. Janet shares some behind the scenes working on ‘Return of the Dapper Men’, as well as other interesting projects. I love talking to artists who are passionate about what they do, but what’s more, have a free spirit when it comes to experimenting and simply having fun. Janet was a joy to interview.
