Graphic Content Podcast

Here it is, our EXTRA-SIZED SPECIAL EPISODE withall the thrills, chills, and hillarious technical malfunctions that you have come to expect with the Graphic Content Podcast! Jim is joined by returning guests Damon Alums, Rachael Cathcart and her daughter Hannah (the youngest contributor yet to the show!) to talk about what they liked, what they thought could be better, and then rate it on a scale of 1-5 Infinity Stones! We hope you join us for all the highs, lows, and deep-deep-deep cuts of what was a super-fun episode for us to record! You can find the Graphic Content Podcast on the following socials: Twitter @graphicpodcast Instagram @Graphic_Content_Podcast facebook.com/graphicpodcast

On this episode of the Graphic Content Podcast, Jim reviews "Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows" #1 & #2 by Jeff Lemire and Max Fiumara from Dark Horse Comics. So how does this series work spinning off of the first two volumes of the cult hit "Black Hammer" series Lemire did with artist Dean Ormston? How much inspiration did the creators take from James Robinson's "Starman" series from the 1990's? And can Jim sound coherent-enough to give an actual review of a comic after 1am? All this and more can be found in this episode of the GRAPHIC CONTENT PODCAST!

In this episode for our "SEASON THREE MARATHON WEEK" (as I'm starting to call it) Jim tries to make-up for accidently deleting half of his Krypton TV Pilot review w/ Manny Gomez by reviewing "ISOLA #1" from Image Comics. Spoiler: it's about the happiest accident he's had in quite some time. Find out why in this episode!

"So where's that episode of the Krypton pilot you promised?" you might be asking. Well... uh... there was a tiny little accident that made it unlistenable for which I am truly sorry. You'd think that someone who's been podcasting on & off for the better part of 4 years would know how to save his files properly before editing, wouldn't you? If you'd like to hear the sordid tale, listen to this short mea culpa, and then afterwards I'll put-forth the plan going-forward for the rest of this week.  Thanks for being a listener of the show, and know that I am really looking foward to bringing a lot more comics-related content to you in Season Three of the Graphic Content Podcast! Love, Jimmers Twitter @jimmmers Instagram @jimmmmmers Facebook simply @JimMason

Here it is, our first "Capsule Review" of a comic now available. Today Jim reviews Infidel #1 from Image Comics written by Pornsak Pinchetshote with art by Aaron Campbell and Jose Villarubia with letters and design by Jeff Powell. So what did he think of it: should you BUY IT NOW, WAIT FOR THE TRADE, or LEAVE IT ON THE RACK? Find out as Jim tries a genre he's not normally a fan of... Horror Comics!

On this special "Zero Issue" of Graphic Content Jim lays out what's been going-on with the short hiatus the show has been on, our new upload schedule, as well as what kind of "Graphic Content" is going to be discussed on the show in the future. He also teases his recent trip to SoCal, or should it be "SchmoeCal" as he and the Mrs. attended the first ever LIVE MOVIE TRIVIA SCHMOEDOWN event! That in and of itself will be an episode which will drop later this week, so stay tuned for that! In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach-out to us on social media to connect with the show to tell us what's got you occupied from a pop culture perspective.

THE GRAPHIC CONTENT PODCAST IS BACK WITH ITS FIRST SHOW FOR 2018! (Sorry for the ALL CAPS, I was somewhat excited) And we thought what better way to kick the year in pop culture off was with our review of the newest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Black Panther! While Adam was away on assignment, Jim was joined by returning guest Manny Gomez of One-Eyed Art as well as Jim's former partner-in-podcasting, rising voiceover talent Damon Alums marks his debut in the high-tech Graphic Content Studio! We hope you join us for this spoiler-filled conversation between three old friends about what is arguably one of the most anticipated movies of the decade!

Jim and Adam reunite for their last podcast of 2017, and they brought some friends into the hi-tech Graphic Content Studio to help them review what is arguably the biggest blockbuster movie of the year -- Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi! Returning guests Johnathan Wright, Rachael Catchcart, and firstt-timer Gary Catchcart (Rachel's hubby) dive deep into the film exploring many of the scenes they loved, liked, and thought, "eh... that really could've been better."

...aaaaaand we're back! This week being an ever-so slightly-edited recording of the Facebook Live video where our listeners were treated (?) to what Jim & Adam look like IRL. No, it wasn't *THAT* bad, at least we didn't think so. Anyhoo, now you can listen-in to the show where Jim talked about the hunt for comics he waxed nostalgic about a few episodes as well as his surprise that he and Adam both liked Zack Snyder's film "Man of Steel". Plus, you won't be distracted by how Jim misspelled the word "Graphic" as he did on the whiteboard during the podcast. We hope you like the show.

Join Jim as he is joined by returning guest Robert Lucchesi, and the newest member of the Graphic Content family William Hoffknecht! The talk about what's good about the show, what could've been better, and in the end suggest as a rating whether you should subscribe to CBS All Access now, right now! Or, should you just wait until it's eventual  release on Blu-Ray. We hope, in either case, that you join us in breaking down "Star Trek Discovery" here, on the Graphic Content Podcast...

In Episode 32 of the Graphic Content Podcast, Jim and Adam are joined by Sacramento-area Actor/Comedian TC MORGAN to talk about movies inspired by comics. Unfortunately for all three of us the ones we picked honestly our least favorite ones. But for you, dear listener, we hope you'll enjoy our takes on these as well as let them serve as warnings for what you choose to stream or watch on Blu-Ray!

In this short episode, Jim tries to reign-in his oftentimes rambling thoughts to give his opinions on Lucasfilm's firing of Colin Trevorrow from Star Wars Episode IX, as well as the subsequent hiring of Episode VII helmer JJ Abrams to take his place. It might not be the most popular decision right now, but where does ol' Jimmers stand on the subject? Listen to this short episode to find out!

On this episode of the Graphic Content Podcast Jim, Adam, and returning special guest Manny Gomez each talk about their favorite stories featuring the world's favorite Man of Tomorrow, Superman! How far back will the guys go into the back issue boxes for this issue? Can Jim avoid going-off on a 10-12 minute tangent? (Spoiler alert: he can't.

Now with all that news from this year's San Diego Comic Con out of the way, Jim and Adam can get back to reviewing some comics! As promised, the guys dive into March's DC Universe / Hanna-Barbera crossovers to see what was great, and maybe some of the stuff that wasn't so much. We also review the one DC / Looney Toons crossover that we didn't get to earlier, and that's Lobo/Road Runner. Trust us when we say you don't want to miss our review of this book (hint: the Main Man is back in style with this book!) Remember that you can hit us up on practically all of the socials.

In this special DOUBLE SIZED ISSUE... err... I mean episode, Adam and Jim unpack much of the Film and TV news that came out of San Diego Comic Con 2017. What sounded like winners, and what sounded like they could be better all reviewed in this episode. Will Adam really care or get excited about any of it? Tune in to find out! We also go over a few awards that we missed from our coverage of the Eisners in Episode 26 -- the Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing, the Russ Manning Award for Promising Newcomer in Comics. Also please note that time ran-out for Jim's editing of this podcast, because reasons of course.

In this episode of the Graphic Content Podcast, Jim and Adam talk about (almost) all of the nominees and winners of this year's Eisner Awards! We also shine a spotlight on the winners of the career achievement-recognizing Inkpot Awards as well! We were originally going to pair this with a lot of the news about Movies and TV from SDCC, but we thought better than to give you a 3+ hour long episode. That is something that we'll hold over for episode 27. In the meantime, if you'd like to connect with us to get in on the conversation on comics and the comic book industry, we'd love to hear from you!

Due to a series of unfortunate events that took place today, we're not able to post the new episode we promised reviewing the nominees and winners of this past weekend's Eisner Awards. While we retool this weekend, we're posting this look-back at "Volume 1" of this show back in 2014 as the guys review that week's comics. We hope you enjoy the look back, as we're looking forward to bringing you more of the content that has you listening to our show. We appreciate your patience, and WILL have new content to post by the end of this weekend! --Jim

We say it at the top of the show, but why not say it here too? We didn't think that there was agoing to be much in the way of comics news coming out of San Diego Comic Con/Comic Con International 2017. But boy were we wrong! In this KING SIZED 25TH EPISODE of Graphic Content, Jim and Adam break down all the news from DC, Marvel, and the Indie Press companies nipping at their heels. And for the most part, it all sounds pretty exciting! Remember we are all over the interwebs for your surfing pleasure. We're on Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagrama @graphiccontent.podcast, and our Official FB page canbe foundd on http://facebook.com/graphicpodccast.

Messinger (you know, Jim's co-host on the show) :-) And remember, after you finish your pile of comics, listen to Graphic Content!  

And we're back... after a week off. All of us here at Graphic Content are thankful for your patience while we took a week off. Today on the show, Adam is back to join Jim in talking about the highs and lows of DC Comics' recently-completed crossover specials with the Looney Toons characters. The highs were most-definitely Eisner Award-worth, and the lows... well, let's just say it's Adam's turn to blow a gasket on this episode. We hope you like it. Remember, GCP is all over the interwebs: we're on Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, and our Official Facebook page can be found at http://facebook.com/graphicpodcast.

And next week's episode dropping on the 27th will feature DC's crossovers with their various Hanna-Barberra characters from late last year, because we just love themes. So until next time, badee-badee-badee that's all folks!

Jim is joined by special guest reviewer Chris Wiler in reviewing the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Spider-Man Homecoming! Listen to the guys unpack this co-produced feature between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, and if they thought they did ol' Web-Head any justice. Plus, just like if Adam was on this episode, they go off on plenty of tangents in their conversation we hope you find entertaining... (One thing Jim wanted to mention -- he doesn't think that Wonder Woman was the best superhero movie of the year, that was a slip of the tongue. Here's his official list for the record: Logan, Wonder Woman... and you can listen to the rest of the podcast to see if he liked Spider-Man Homecoming more or less than Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 :-) Remember, Graphic Content is all over the internet!

In Episode 22 of the Graphic Content Podcast, Jim and Adam give their opinions on what admittedly little is known about the new "Legacy" event from Marvel coming this fall. Okay, it's actually rampant speculation -- but at least we're following the trail of breadcrumbs the House of the Mouse has given us so far and compared it to what their editorial slant has looked like up until now. Here's a hint: we think Marvel has actually found their way into chasing DC for a change. Listen to the show to discover what has led us to these opinions, as well as us actually stating how wrong we hope we are... ...we also want to know what you want to think! Hit us up on email by addressing your question or comment to thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. And we're on all of the socials as well: Twitter @graphicpodcast, on Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, and our official FB page found on at http://facebook.com/graphicpodcast Now go read a comic! And when you're done with that, we hope you listen to Graphic Content.

In this episode of the Graphic Content Podcast, Jim talks to Adam about the weekend he spent at the inaugural ID10T Festival presented by Nerdist's Chris Hardwick, A12 Productions, and Live Nation! We try to figure out if it's supposed to be called "Eye-Dee-Ten-Tee Fest" or "Idiot Fest". (Honestly, I'm sure either one works just fine). We talk about what the experience was like at a "transmedia event" like this that featured some of the best in comics, comedy, and music. Seriously-amazing talent from all three sectors were featured that weekend too numerous to count, but you can check out the festival's website out at id10tfest.com for the roll call of all the artists featured there! So, after Adam and Jim blather on about the festival in general, the really good stuff starts: and that's the interviews Adam had with a variety of comic industry talent! First off is an interview with Mike Marts from Aftershock Comics, whom some long-time comics readers might know as a 20-year veteran of the "Big Two" comics publishers editing the Batman titles at DC before moving down the street to Marvel to take over the editorial reigns of the X-Men titles during the time Ed Brubaker was writing those books. Adam also talks with Matt Wilson (colorist on The Wicked + The Divine amongst a long list of other titles), Chris Burnham (an amazing penciller who's drawn mainstream comics like many Batman titles for DC & X-Men: Manifest Destiny for Marvel; to small press/creator-owned work like Nixon's Pals and Officer Downe). On Day 2 Adam spoke with Matt Horak (artist on Marvel's Punisher with Becky Cloonan), and wraps-up his ID10T coverage with a long-ish interview with one of my favorite creators in the comics business, the one and only Phil Hester! We hope you enjoy the show, and would welcome your feedback. You can send emails to thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com, and we're all over social media. You can find us on Twitter @graphicpodcast, on Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, and our official Facebook page found at http://facebook.com/graphicpodcast! We hope you check out our other shows too available on iTunes, Stitcher, and just about any podcatcher of choice!

Jim is flying Solo (get it, "Solo"... heh heh... heh) this week in a chat about the goings-on the Holonet HQ Facebook Group, as well as the little kerfuffle you might've heard about going-down at Pinewood Studios last week. You know, the one where Christopher Miller and Phil Lord were fired by the Powers That Be at Lucasfilm with only 3 weeks of principal photography left to shoot for the "Untitled Han Solo Spinoff Movie"? I try not to ramble too, too much about it, but there is a certain stream-of-consciousness to the podcast that I'm curious if you like or not. "Holonet HQ" is the official podcast of the Facebook group of Star Wars fans of the same name. The group is now live on Facebook, and we'd love for you to join us! (We do ask that you request to join the group so our Jedi Moderators can be assured you're not a Sith Lord in disguise or anything) If you're not on Facebook but would like to contact us about the content of this, or our previous episode, we'd still love to hear from you! We're part of the Graphic Contect Podcast Feed so we're on Twitter @graphicpodcast, or you can send us a long-form email to thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. So until next time, May the Force be With You... Always.

Join Jim, Adam, and new occupier of the guest seat Chris as the trio discuss the best, and absolute worst dads in comics. Recorded on Father's Day 2017 no less! I have to say that, and maybe I'm biased, but that this show really has one of the widest ranges of characters we've discussed since the beginning of the show, so we hope you like it. And if you did, or even if you didn't, we'd love to hear your thoughts about it. You can contact us via email: thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com, or on Twitter where you can find us @graphicpodcast. We also share all kinds of art and other kinds of fun stuff on Instagram where you can find us @graphiccontent.podcast. And finally, you can see all kinds of news and teases for upcoming episodes (including our new show about all things Star Wars called "Holonet HQ") on our official FB page which can be found at facebook.com/graphicpodcast. So like we say at the end of each episode: go read a comic! And after you're done, listen to Graphic Content...

It's with great pleasure that I announce the latest edition to the Graphic Content Podcast Feed, HOLONET HQ! On this show, Jim is joined by a group of friends to talk about (which you might have guessed from the name of the show) STAR WARS! In this episode, Jim and his friends Rachael, Johnathan, and Chris talk about how they discovered the stories from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, and all the way through to their impressions of the trailer for Episode VIII: The Last Jedi! Oh, Jim brings in a special guest from the SW Universe to help him keep this a PG-13 rated podcast. If you'd like to get in touch with us, we'd love to hear from you! You write us an email to our addy thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. Or if you'd like to keep it short and sweet, you can hit us up on Twitter @graphicpodcast. On the next episode, we will post our first actual play session of our campaign "Legacy of the Jedi" using the Fantasy Flight Games "Force and Destiny" RPG. So until next time, May the Force be With You... Always.

There's a lot of geeky things that Jim enjoys, and if you've ilstened to any of our feed's previous shows you know that he's a HUGE comic book geek. Seriously, he's huge -- like 6'7", big dude. Anyhoo, one of the other fun (& definitely geeky) hobbies he enjoys is sitting down for a good old fashioned role playing game, a.k.a. RPG. If you're unfamiliar of the term, perhaps you're more familiar with the granddaddy of all RPGa: Dungeons and Dragons! Essentially it's a game of "make believe" we played with kids with a set of rules facilitated by funny-looking dice that can range from very rules-light, to extremely rules-heavy which RPG-enthusiasts call "Crunch". Fate Accelerated is not one of those crunchy games. It's a system that provides a loose structure for the GM (Game Master, or as a sportsball enthusiast would call, "a referee") to pretty-much create a world based on the shared imagination of the GM & his players. In this inaugural episode of Actually Playing, Graphic Content's Jim Mason is joined by his friends Brian, Carter, Mike, and Isaac (the GM) as they're introduced to a world not much unlike their own. Except perhaps for the presence of the likes of hedge wizards, werewolves, and the undead in a game Isaac best-describes as "Horror Noir" roleplaying. We hope you like the show. Let us know what you think via email to our addy thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. We're also on many of the socials like on Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, or on our office FB page found at http://facebook.com/graphicpodcast . We look forward to the feedback! And now, on with the show...  

While we wait for our scientists in the GCP Laboratory to finish tweaking the "Top Secret Project", we thought you might be interested in the podcast that started it all. No, not v1.0 of Graphic Content, I'm talking about the podcast that spawned that show. Of course I'm talking about the famous MISSION COMMAND PODCAST! Wait... you never heard of it? Well that can't be true, I know at least 20 people who heard it. Really! Seriously, this was my very first foray into podcasting, and I had a blast doing it while we did with my friends Cody, Damon, and Mike. Like I said in the intro, for some insane reason we all thought that it'd be a great idea to get up super-early on Sunday mornings to reccord our thoughts on all things nerdy and awesome! In this episode, besides learning how to record people talking for listening on the internet, we discuss movie and TV casting, the comics we were reading, and Mike debuts a little diddy from Wizards of the Coast called the 5th edition D&D Starter Set that just came out (I wonder how that game is doing now, hmmm...) Anyhoo, we hope you enjoy the episode. If you would like to hear more from the Mission Command Archives, let us know via the contacts below. So until next time, go read some comics! And after you're done with those, listen to Graphic Content! Email: thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com Twitter: @graphicpodcast Instagram: @graphiccontent.podcast Facebook: http://facebook.com/graphicpodcast  

In this episode of our look back to the original version of the show we listen back to when Dave, Isaac, and Mike talked about the titles they read in August of 2014. Some of them were awesome (The Fade Out by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, as well as the Wicked + The Divine by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie), some made them scratch their heads (Multiversity #1 by Grant Morrison and Ivan Reis), and another seemed like it made them wish for their time back (Joshua Williamson's "The Devillers"). They also continue their "Comic Book Club" series with a look at the collection of Jeff Lemire's classic, "Essex County." While we love to look back at the original show, we also want to look forward. Have a request for a book or webcomic in need of a review? Or are you a creator interested in talking to us on the show about your work? We'd love to hear from you. You can drop us a line at thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com! We're also on pretty much all of the social media platforms out there: Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, and our official FB Page under "Graphic Content Podcast". So with all that out of the way might I suggest to go read a comic? And after that, listen to Graphic Content :-)

On this special episode of Graphic Content, Jim and Adam are joined by first-time guest in-studio Rachael Cathcart, as well as returning guest (& author of the Mecha vs. Kaiju Fate RPG books) Johnathan Wright! Why are four voices needed on this podcast? Why, to review the latest release from the DCEU Wonder Woman of course! Does the movie live up to the hype? Is the 96% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes a glitch in the system? Can Adam really compare his hair to Gal Gadot's? All this and much, much more can be found in this episode of the Graphic Content podcast! As always, you can follow us on just about all the social medias where you can "LIKE" our official Facebook page found at http://facebook.com/graphicpodcast. The show is also on Twitter @graphiccontent, & on Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast! You can also send us long-form missives via email addressed to thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com, we promise to read the email you send us on the next show! (Unless you're the prince of a foreign nation who wants to have me hold $10,000.00 for you, then that'd be a no. That gag's all played-out pal...) So remember, after you're done reading your comics, listen to Graphic Content!

The conversation just couldn't end with the guys talking *just* about Teen Titans: The Judas Contract Direct-to-Video feature from WB Animation, could it? In a word: nope. In this part of their chat, they talk about some of the various superhero animated shows they've watched, and callout their favorites over the years. There's some obvious choices on this list, but there's one you might not have heard of, so tune in to find out... As always, if you'd like to make contact with us at Graphic Content, you can hit us up on Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, or via email where our address is thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. We hope to hear from you soon!

Join Jim, Adam, and special guest Manny Gomez for our review of the recent Direct-to-Video release from WB Animation, "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract." What did the guys think of it? Could it possibly live up to the what is arguably one of the greatest comic book storylines of all time? Well, just sit back, relax, and let these three friends hash it out then rate it on a 1-5 scale, this time of Terra's floating rocks... :-) As always, if you'd like to make contact with us at Graphic Content, you can hit us up on Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, or via email where our address is thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. We hope to hear from you soon!

Come back in time with us to the summer of 2014 when v1.0 of the show starring Cody, Dave, Isaac, and Mike as they talked about the comics they were reading back then. Titles like Marvel's "Elektra" #1 by Haden Blackman and Michael del Mundo, DC/Vertigo's "Bodies" (#1 of 8) by various writer/artist teams, Rick Remender's and Greg Tocchini's "Low" #1 from Image, and "Outcast" #1 by Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta also from Image. Plus in the issue, Jim finally gets the chance to respond to the allegations that he actually paid good money to see the Jennifer Garner "Elektra" film in the theatre... ...okay, he did. But he says why he did that. And actually it makes it kinda worse. Nice work genius. Anyhoo, we hope you like this episode of Graphic Content Flashback, our new series where we look back on the original incarnation of the show from 2014, to see how the industry is still in many ways the same, and how it's completely different in some others. If you'd like to make contact with us at Graphic Content, you can hit us up on Twitter @graphicpodcast, Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, or via email where our address is thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. We hope to hear from you soon!

This week on Graphic Content, Adam flies solo in the studio again this time interviewing Hannibal Tabu. If the name sounds familiar, then you've probably read his column "The Buy Pile" on CBR.com which has been published there since, oh, 2006. He's also a family man, graphic designer, journalist, poet just to quickly run-down his background for the uninitiated. And yet still finds the time to add comics creator to his resume with his work as a founding member of "The Operative Network" webcomics studio, or the upcoming "Irrational Numbers" coming soon from Wunderman Comics! We hope you enjoy Adam's interview as much as I did listening to it! As always, you can hit us up on all the socials: the show has an Official Facebook Page & we're on Twitter @graphicpodcast. We're also active on Instagram where you can find us @graphiccontent.podcast. As for me, you can find me on Facebook at Jim Mason, Twitter @jimmmers, and on Instagram @jimmmmmers. Adam is much smarter with his social media strategy than I am, where you can find him on just about any platform @AdamSMessinger. Also, if you'd like to drop us a longer-form question or comment about the show, or are a creator looking to get the word out about your project, please drop us an email at thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com, we'd love to hear from you! We hope you enjoy the show. Also check out these links below... http://wundermancomics.com/ http://operative.net/ http://hannibaltabu.com/ http://twitter.com/hannibaltabu  

Join Jim and Adam for the second half of their conversation about their favorite collected editions of comics. How can they possibly follow-up their picks from Part One? I mean, Jim choosing Darwyn Cooke's "DC: The New Frontier" Deluxe Edition, and Adam with Will Eisner's "A Contract With God"? Good thing this really isn't a competion, because it'd be a mess to judge. (And as David Letterman used to say, "remember kids, please, PLEASE, no wagering") Let us know what you think of the 2-part formatting of the show. Do you like your podcasts shorter? Or would you prefer the longer, uninterrupted version? We want to know! As always, you can get a hold of us on a variety of social media platforms. You can follow the show on Twitter @graphicpodcast, on Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast, and our Facebook page found at facebook.com/graphicpodcast. If you'd like to send us an email, or a creator looking to be featured on our show, then you can hit us up on thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. 

In this episode, Jim and Adam talk about the future of the show. I mean, what the hell are they going to do with two shows a week? We finally find out! Also, they begin their conversation about some of their favorite collected editions, which is continued in Part Two of this podcast, also released today! Let us know what you think of the 2-part formatting of the show. Do you like your podcasts shorter? Or would you prefer the longer, uninterrupted version? We want to know! As always, you can get a hold of us on a variety of social media platforms.

Episode 15 tells the "Secret Origin" of GCP! It's set in the year 2014 as the co-owners of the Launchpad Comics and Games (Mike, Cody, & Dave) with friend-of-the-store Isaac review the latest to come-out at the time. Books that are still critical successes like Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's "The Wicked + The Divine", and Joshua Williamson & Mike Henderson's "Nailbiter"; to new books from the "Big Two" (DC & Marvel to comics-newcomers) like "Grayson" and "Storm". This episode is a great window into the past to see how the show got it's start and, for those who knew him, to hear Dave's voice again. So after a little self-indulgence of me reminiscing about my late friend, sit back and let the internet send you back three years into the past to hear about what 4 friends gathered on a Tuesday night had to say about comics at the time...

Jim and Adam are joined this week by returning guest Johnathan Wright (author of the Mecha vs. Kaiju Role Playing Game) and Lodi, CA-area artist Manny Gomez as they breakdown how they liked Marvel Studio's latest blockbuster, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2! The movie was definitely entertaining, but did that starship's engine fire on all cylinders? Listen to what the guys say to find out! You can always find GRAPHIC CONTENT on social media:the Facebook page, Twitter @graphicpodcast, or on Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast. You can also send us an old-fashioned 20th century style-email to thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. Jim is on the socials too: Facebook under Jim Mason, Twitter @jimmmers, and Instagram @jimmmmmers. Adam's made it much easier to find him as he's pretty-much on all of the social media platforms @AdamSMessinger. So until next time, as Stan "The Man" Lee would say...   EXCELSIOR!

In this special, short episode of Meanwhile at Graphic Content, Jim talks about some sensitive subject matter. A friend of the show recently pointed out to Jim that he made a comment in Episode 10 (Iron Fist in Comics) around the 26-minute mark that was really flat-out wrong despite the intent behind it. The clip of that portion of that conversation can be found in this episode, as well as Jim's thoughts on being so thoughtless. His apology. We hope you stick with us, we have a lot of great stuff lined-up (in our opinion) in the near-future of the show. If you have comments that you'd like to send our way on this, or any other topic in the comics industry, please don't hesitate to do so. Short-form you can hit us up on Twitter @graphicpodcast, or long-form by way of our email address, thereal.graphiccontent@gmail.com. We're also on Instagram @graphiccontent.podcast... ...so. Until our next show drops, we hope you enjoy the comics that you're reading, and that you have a good night.
