After the releases of Captain America 700 and Action Comics 1000, we are talking about some of our favourite milestone issues. Actually, it's pretty much just Dave talking about them because I don't really have any.
INFINITY WAR IS THIS WEEK, GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi guys. I'm trying to get rid of a bunch of my comics because, frankly, I am never going to read them again and they are sitting in stacked boxes that I never open. It's ridiculous. This is an ongoing project (and it's been harder than I thought it would be) but I think by the end I should have a pretty tight collection.
So we're talking about that this week.
Enjoy! We'll be back with another episode next week that is more of us treading water until Infinity War is released!
Some recent comic book events have rekindled the very boring wildfire that is comic book speculation. Remember all those people who got rich off the two dozen copies of that Death of Superman comic that they ripped from the hands of children and sealed in plastic for twenty years? You know them; they live in that mansion on the hill. With the yacht.
I'm just kidding. They died, and their siblings had to lug box after dusty box to their local comic shop, where the long-suffering shop owner had to explain that the entire collection was worth, maybe, $200 (or $300 in store credit). And the siblings were like "Fine. Whatever. I just never want to see these damn things again."
Anyway, people are once again thinking that buying mass quantities of comics that, y'know, EVERYONE is buying is going to be an excellent investment. I mean, we're not learning anything else from history, so, sure. Why not?
This Week in Winter Soldier returns this week, because Steve TALKS WORDS TO BUCKY in the newest Infinity War TV spot. LOOK AT THEM!!!!
Oh my god. That WIG! Bucky out here looking like Pearl Jam Unplugged.
They could just cut his hair! He could look like THIS:
Imagine if Steve rolled back into Wakanda and Bucky casually strolled up to him with a cozy sweater and a sharp new haircut and just a hint of sun in his complexion.
Anyway.
Thanks for listening!
Last week we talked about great comics that have never been collected, and this week we are talking about great comics that are currently out of print. So you KNOW I'm gonna be bringing up Jason Aaron's Ghost Rider run.
Here are the details about the re-release of Mike Mignola and Roy Thomas's Dracula adaptation.
Thanks for listening!
Ohmygod I am so sorry I forgot to write this blog post. I kept realizing I hadn't written it yet all week, but always at a time that I couldn't do anything about it. And then I would forget again.
So here is this week's (last week's?) episode. We talk about some of our favourite comics that have never been collected. Also, Hillary joins us for the final time (well, hopefully not final time, but for now) to talk about the season finale of The X-Files. She also has written a Queer Eye nomination letter for Walter Skinner, and it's pretty great.
Here is a link to the web comic Daisy Owl. As far as I can tell, the creator, Ben Driscoll, designs games now.
The second installment of Daisy Owl stands as one of my favourite single comic strips ever:
And if you like adorable romance, you should definitely check out Miss Abbott and the Doctor.
Sorry again for the delay.
