Well – I was pleasantly surprised Sunday night, after a day out with friends and catching up on the last three weeks of Pacific (which is amazing), to come home and find not only a NEW FULL episode of CR to download, but DIYE! I had a geekgasm so strong that my leg is still twitching and the dog still won’t come out from under the bed.
So much to say – Great episode. Matt still hates Marvel and loves DC. But I listen to you boys for more than an ego stroking of my reading choices and in that vein, it was a fantastic episode.
CR 64 High point for me. The Max I Pad. Comic gold I say.
Weighing in on the IPad comic push pull relationship conversation… I agree full heartedly that a part of the comic collecting hobby is just that… COLLECTING! it’s even in the freaking name. I think people that grew up collecting paper will continue to do so, and maybe… maybe the next generation of readers will move away from the paper format. I think the comic stores are safe at least for the next 20 years. And to join in the chant about what Marvel does wrong… screwing the number schemes and nixing titles only to bring them back so you have this total uncongruent numbering scheme in many of the long standing books. Bad for collecting, I say… but I guess that’s a small price to pay for the books they put out. (on a side – seriously, they changed the Punisher title to FrankenWTF? WTF?)
As too Johns chin fetish – I totally sympathize. I went on a blind date with a women with no chin once…. normal neck, normal head, no freaking chin… Needless to say I wasn’t chasing that tail. Don’t underestimate the importance of chins!
As a side note : Uncanny X-men 522… the return of kitty – did anyone else totally love that little side story in the end of that issue? I thought it was a freaking ad for another new series (that Marvel loves to embed in my favorite books) and was pleasantly surprised by the stand alone mini story that tied into the event in the book proper. Two thumbs up.
Side Note 2 : Need a sound of a Iron Lung – Can’t help you – but how about a hospital ventilator? http://www.sounddogs.com/results.asp?Type=1&CategoryID=1037&SubcategoryID=42
(My favorite is HOSPITAL,VENTILATOR,RUNNING,1 – but have fun and pick your own!)
Side Note 3: Either of you pick up McFarlanes new title Haunt? If so, what do you think of it. I’m not a huge fan of his stories but he’s a hell of an artist and I’m actually enjoying this book. Kind of a Punisher meets Spiderman with a twist of lime.
Okay – back to the episode – All I can say about the contest is – I actually called a few of my geek friends from back in the day and asked if they had a story – and they didn’t… nor did I… because the parameters of the contest were a tad narrow – Now had it been – a story about someone freaking out in general or whilst I was working – I have a crap load of stories – some of which I may just share in the near future – but because it was in a comic store setting, having never worked in one – my experience is a tad limited. But I did ask around.
The hot chick rant – I had never heard of her – and did a google search while listening and… she’s damn attractive. I’m of the vein that if a woman wants to show off… and has something worth showing… God Bless Her… Can I get you a drink, how about two.
Again – Great episode – you two work very well together to make a humorous and very entertaining show (I normally listen to new episodes at least twice – once for enjoyment and once to remind me of what I want to drone on about on your bloggy blog) Keep up the great work and be nice to Marvel… .. .
Still waiting to hear about Matt’s Legacy aversion.
