Oh right! Martin WAS on Dr. Strange the Oath.
I loved that mini. Good call.

Sometime when you three guys feel like taking a week off, I wouldn't mind an all Lennon-Vedder-Jones edition of ifanboy.
Posted by flapjaxx on 05/18/08 at 07:06 PM
That wouldn't be a week off at all...;-)
Posted by josh on 05/18/08 at 07:39 PM
I love this idea! Have fun, Josh!
Posted by conor on 05/18/08 at 07:57 PM
OF COURSE -he was on that Dr. Strange book - we loved that! Damn this guy rules

Marcos Martin also did a barbara gordon year one story with chuck dixon and (i think) Scott Beatty.
I believe he has also drew a WW II flashback issue for Brubaker's Captain America.

Oops. i missed Dummeer's comment, although i don't think he mentioned the cap issue.
Posted by MisterBlank on 05/18/08 at 10:21 PM
what about the walking dead ?
Posted by hunkiechan on 05/19/08 at 12:40 AM
@hunkiechan - What about it?
Posted by conor on 05/19/08 at 12:51 AM
Is any one else getting chipmunk sounding iFanboys?
Posted by Brandon2 on 05/19/08 at 07:04 AM
@hunkiechan - None of us read Walking Dead in issue form unfortuantely, so we don't end up talking about the issues when they come out. But there's always a discussion in the Comics section:

I don't read 'Amazing Spider-Man' but I'm obviously going to need to flip through this issue for the art, to see what all the fuss is.
I did get the 'Captain Britain' issue and I'm intrigued -- is this definitely an ongoing? (Captain Britain & MI-13 1: Secret Invasion as opposed to Secret Invasion Captain Britain & MI 13 # 1 -- way to clarify the hell out of that, Marvel). I'm a sucker for British spy stories, and this makes me want to go back and pick up the Pete Wisdom mini, though he's a character I never had any previous interest in.
Posted by ohcaroline on 05/19/08 at 08:34 AM
@Brandon2 No.
Posted by Tork on 05/19/08 at 09:46 AM
And by no, I mean yes.
Posted by Tork on 05/19/08 at 09:47 AM
Yes, this is an ongoing. When Marvel announced Cornell writing an ongoing for them, last year, the title was going to be another relaunch of Excalibur. But the powers that be wisely decided that they would leave that brand name alone for a while, and create a book around Cap and Cornell's MI:13. from the Wisdom limited series he did last year.
It seems to work.

Hey Brandon! I also am getting the Conor and the Chipmunks version of the show.
Posted by Unoob on 05/19/08 at 10:36 AM
I d/l'ed the show on a different computer than it was edited on, and it sounds fine. Are you guys listening through the flash player? Macs? PC's? What player? Did you try it on a different player?
Posted by josh on 05/19/08 at 11:04 AM
When I downloaded the show, it played fine. When using both IE and Firefox, using the embedded player, it gave me the Chipmunks show.
Posted by Unoob on 05/19/08 at 02:52 PM
Imbedded Flash player in IE. Chipmunks.

The Batgirl Year One mini was my favorite work by Marcos Martin
Posted by bpepple on 05/19/08 at 06:40 PM
So, um...Kevin Maguire...Maybe this is just me, but Batgirl and Catwoman's faces looked like overweight, last call bar floozies with a slight case of down syndrome (no offense to bar floozies). Expressive, sure. Attractive? Noooooooooo sir.
@HBD - I think it's just you.
Posted by conor on 05/19/08 at 10:04 PM
Just a small correction, but the D in BPRD is for *Defense* not *Development.* Anyway, keep up the good work guys. I'm looking forward to that Azaceta mini next week.
Posted by jsylvest on 05/19/08 at 10:30 PM
Question about Amazing Spider-man. I havent read Brand New Day since the 1st arc. If I pick up this latest issue will I get it or not?
Thanks.

@Josh - So this week we got Eddie Vedder, John Lennon and Steve Jones. When does the sketch show start? :)
Posted by Eyun on 05/20/08 at 06:46 PM
Conor - apparently you fulfilled a life-long dream of Cornell's: he mentions his joy at being Pick of the Week over at his blog. Link below:

It's towards the bottom of the post, but you can't miss it. Especially the whole "iFanboy is my favorite podcast" thing!
Posted by squeakjones on 05/21/08 at 02:10 PM
@jackwtweeq - I think so.
Posted by conor on 05/22/08 at 05:08 AM
Nice chipmunk Vedder Josh !
Helium ?
That made me think of the Local H song "eddie vedder"

It's nice to see Marcos getting the attention he deserves. Not sure what you think about Scott Beatty (I like his stuff), but Marcos Martin had a great run on Batgirl Year One, which I recommend.
Other works by Marcos:
BKV's Dr. Strange Blood Oath
Bob Harras' Breach (a Captain Atom redux)
He's also cooperated with Pulido on some issues of 'Robin: Year One', he did artwork for several 'Batman' series ('Birds of Prey', 'Joker's Last Laugh', etc.), some other work -- including covers for:
http://www.comicvine.com/marcos-martin/6602/
...and this was the closest thing to a website I could find for him:
http://www.guiadelcomic.com/autores/martin_marcos.htm
If I had to describe Marcos' style it'd be a cross between David Mazzuchelli and Steve Ditko. Both of which I adore.
