Is this the new Captain America? That was the rumour earlier today. What do you think?
We don’t actually talk about Krasinski as Cap because the episode was recorded a week ago, b ut I couldn’t think of a good image to go with the new episode.
We recorded this last week, but last week was also midterms, so the podcast got pushed back. Sorry, folks, priorities.
Anyways, it’s that time of the month again, so Matt and John dive into the March previews. John proves he only looks at the pretty pictures and Matt is planning on cutting back on Marvel post-siege. Do you have any upcoming changes to your pull list? Let us know.
Also, at the end of the show we have a new contest, tell us your comic spaz stories and win a TPB (in print) of your choice. entries should be sent to feedback@comicsradar.com

Great Show As Usual!
So – first topic – Astonishing X-men: Xenogenesis cover http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/content/74042comic_storystory_full-5742565..jpg I would say not the best cover in the catalog but (especially Emma) but honestly – not the end of the world as far as I’m concerned. Don’t miss the X’s – Don’t mind the overt use of negative space on the cover. Emma is pretty bad….
Thor and the Warriors Four! First off – I’m a power pack fan from 10 years ago – so any title that brings and better yet features these brat packers – I’m all in favour. The cover of issue two with Beta Ray Bill running for his life… Classic! http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel/i/content/71420comic_storystory_full-5823244..jpg
I’m definitely enjoying Marvels look to the past with Titles like Marvels Project and Torch. Another I’m looking to get my grubby paws on is The Twelve: Spearhead one shot. If I can find it – I’ll let ya know what I think.
I’ve been wondering what Matt’s aversion to X-men Legacy is. I’m also a Mutie lover and have been enjoying the Legacy title. Wondered if there was a root to his radical.
I’ve recently picked up Runaways at Mur Lafferty’s suggestion (See CR 009 http://comicsradar.com/archives/24/comics-radar-009-w-guest-segment-by-mur-lafferty-of-geek-fu-action-grip/ ) and am presently undecided on the series. It has potential.
At Johns suggestion picked up Chew (Image comics) Wow – very much enjoying this title. Was lucky enough to get all but #1 off the rack at my local comics store. Also enjoying Haunt (Image), though I can’t help to think he’s kind of a spoogy spider-man – but the story is very enjoyable and the art is excellent.
I also wanted to give a little feed back about another episode of CR that I very much enjoyed. John was solo, no doubt due to Matt being sick (I’m worrying about you Matt – you live in Florida and you’ve had a four month cough!) and John did an episode on the history of the Comics Code Authority and it’s relevance to the Banned Book Week. Very Good, Short (Less than 20 mins) Highly recommend a listen too. (Even you Matt!) http://comicsradar.com/archives/620/comics-radar-057-not-approved-by-the-comics-code-authority/
Books I’m looking forward too: The X-men Second Coming Arch – Dead@17 Witch Queen – Enjoying the current Captain America arch – Giving Fantastic Four a whirl starting about 570 – but so far – the juries out. New Mutants have probably been my favorite title as of late. Oh, almost forgot Stephen Kings The Stand – If you are a fan of the books or TV Mini series – excellent comic for you.
Thanks for the show boys! Keep it up and Matt, get well soon!
Matt’s always had the cough, Jon just edits it out (I think).
Runaways is the shit. So’s New Mutants.
Also, this podcast needs a female guest one day
I edit out what is really distracting, but try to leave the shows as whole as possible despite hating how long they run.
Thanks for the comments we’ll cover Matt’s Xmen legacy aversion next show we record. I’ve been reading the trades (love working in a library). So we’ll try to talk about it.
I would love a female guest on the show. Somebody *ahem* was going to blog on the site about the girl’s view of comics, but never wrote anything. She is always welcome to come in for a show, but fair warning, I usually record the show sans pants.
I tried Dead@17 when they were at DDP and it just didn’t grab me. I like the concept though.
Runaways, I loved up until the third series, it made me drop it with the plastic surgery/rock music/zombie story.
And big thanks for the comments on the Comics Code Authority episode. I like getting that info out there, but I don’t want to be too lecturing or preachy, so I generally avoid it.
