FYI, looks like there's an error on the timestamps listed in the notes.  My copy of the Avengers The List one-shot didn't arrive with my comics this week, so I attempted to skip past that discussion on the podcast, but while the notes say that discussion starts at 16:38 and the Hellboy discussion is at 20:04, the Avengers book is actually discussed at 20:04 and Hellboy starts at 23:38--I s...

Finally my Namor/Little Mermaid slash fiction can become a reality.   I wonder if in any of the required filings information will come out about Marvel's plans re the future of digital comics.

Just watched it on the metro this morning, and I enjoyed it, but agree that the acting is the main holdup.  One particular exchange of dialog stood out to me, when Brand gives Jessica a gadget and says "It's a Skrull detector" and Jessica says "Seriously?" and Brand says "No.  Wouldn't that be nice though?"  I imagined that, on the written page I wou...

I read the first three issues of this as it was coming out, but ended up dropping it.  It felt too much like someone who was writing to educate people about Africa, and not so much someone who was writing to tell a good story.  Still a noble and worthwhile intention, but not what I was looking for.

Girl Bucky gets her first period?  Where's Phylicia Rashad when you need her?

Any word on when the Fear Agent Omnibus will be coming out?  I enjoyed the first trade, but when I heard Remender said an omnibus would come out soon collecting the whole series, I thought I'd wait for that.  But now I'm getting antsy...

I read Overlook as it came out, and while I agree that the first two issues set up an intriguing noir story, I was very let down by the conclusion of the series.  The payoff really didn't live up to the setup, or even flow logically from it.  Wolfman, on the other hand, I can fully support.

I too was disappointed with this announcement.  Even though I like the idea of seeing five new series created by Kirkman, I can't imagine that trying to create five new series at once is really going to be the best way to create quality stories.  And even if I do really enjoy one or more of these stories, there's a chance it could be canceled anyway.  I would've been much more e...

I have read Volume 1, but that's the only Starman I've read.  I'm planning to get to Volume 2 soon--will anything on this podcast spoil that for me?  Or is the discussion limited to the events of Volume 1?

Count me among the slightly disappointed.  I've enjoyed Brubaker's work, so I won't deny the possibility that he will pull this off in a way that works, but I just don't see why this needed to be done now.  It seemed obvious that Steve Rogers wasn't going to be gone forever, but I had hoped that, to give some meaning to his death, they'd at least give it a few more years.  Dead f...
