KomicsKast

Just me talking about the future of MY podcasting, as well as stuff I'm reading and watching.

Just me babbling about a comic I remember fondly from my childhood - Superman Annual #3, inspired by something I heard on one of my favorite podcasts, Avenger's Inspirations. Mike's Amazing World Webpage: http://www.dcindexes.com/ Avenger's Inspirations Podcast: http://cmro.travis-starnes.com/podcast_main.php Jon Wilson's Golden Age Superman Podcast: http://goldenagesuperman.libsyn.com/ (You'd think I could remember Jon's last name, since it is the same as my Grandparents!)

A new KomicsKast: Marvel Month by Month has been posted on the new KK feed at KomicsKast.com This one features comics cover dated August 1962 - and in particular Amazing Fantasy 15 and Journey Into Mystery 83. Derek Coward teamed up with me on the AF, and Lyle Tucker and Van Reid joined in on the JIM segment, to discuss those issues. I also ramble on about the comics I recieved in my latest DCBS shipment, as well as those that I was expecting but did not receive (not DCBS's fault though).

Please listen to this show for big news concerning KomicsKast!

I think that the title of the episode sums it all up, but here's the rundown: New KomicsKast coming soon )I hope!) Digital Firsts? Don't you believe it! Why I'm dropping my subscription to Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine My thoughts on the recent movie, Parker. 

In this episode I talk about a wonderful original art page that I got from a comic that is based on the wonderful podcast radio show: The Red Panda - http://www.decoderringtheatre.com/ Visited a local con and managed to come away with only one book... but in the process forgot to buy something that I wanted to pick up there! There's a set of Crusader Rabbit cartoons out on DVD that has over 10 hours of the character I remember from my childhood. The Sixth Gun comics were going for really high prices.

Dutchy Digest #7 was completed JUST in time. We attended two shows - CGS Super Show and the S.P.A.C.E. show.  Ric and I talked about S.P.A.C.E. on The Book Cave What I did on Free Comic Book Day

Comixology's gives away 700 free titles AND CRASHES! But Comixology also had a BIG WIN (in my eyes) with it's Comixology Submit American Comic Book Chronicles 1960 - 1964: http://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1083&zenid=fimjpjrop1rbn6ku6849osjvv6 And while I spent the weekend trying to draw a big chunk of Dutchy Digest #7 (Dutchydigest.com) I watched several episodes of Fringe, and can't recommend it highly enough. I also watched Total Recall (the new one)

I apologize in advance! I'm all over the place on this one! (Or maybe that's a good thing?)

I just wanted to mention a couple of my own favorite podcasts, as well as a new one. I've actually been catching up on some comics and this week I read All New X-Men 1 - 5 and the 2nd Volume of Daredevil. I'm also reading a neat Steampunk novel by a favorite artist.

This time I talk about a couple comics I read: Superior Spider-Man and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Ghoul Goblin #1. Then I rave about a new digital collection of Dick Briefer's Frankenstein that is not only wonderful, but wonderfully priced! Links that'll help: http://comicbookattic.blogspot.com/ http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dick+briefer

I had a chance to read Spider-Man 700 and related issues and I express some thoughts on the issues, and the controversy. Plus I discuss my resolutions for the new year.

I've been pretty lucky over the last couple weeks to receive four "first offered" movies; Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Expendables 2, Dark Shadows, and Men in Black 3. Am I really lucky, or is there some other reason that I've managed to get the four DVD's the first week they were offered?

I guess the title says it all! Or at least most of it... I do mention Fringe as well as two of my favorite podcasts: http://thedailyrios.com/ http://www.scifidig.com/ I'll be back in a couple says with some thoughts on (and experiences with) computers.

I had a chance to watch the animated Dark Knight Returns feature that came out recently. Herein are my thoughts, as wishy-washy as they might be!

The owner of the comic shop that I've been going to for 26 years, Nick Yutko, has passed away. Just some reminiscing...  R.I.P. Nick Yutko 1961 - 2012

The last couple weeks have been a blur. I talk about that and founder around desperately for some comics stuff to talk about.

Sorry I've been delinquent with my episodes - explanation herein. I also talk about a comic I bought and read this week - The Saint - From Moonstone. See you in a week.

Just a short one this time, but I just had to gush about this wonderful volume!

This time I talk about: The second season of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on (one of) the Disney Channels My investigation into publishing a comic via Amazon's Kindle Store Stephen Hines comic, by the way, is Clyde the Trucker) And my total infatuation with the StarShip Sofa podcast!

Don't know why I hadn't thought of it, but I finally respond to the Feedback left on the KK Facebook page. Some thoughts on IDW's Popeye reprint series - Dell's Popeye #1 by Bud Sagendorf I read two issues of Life With Archie featuring the gang as agents of R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. A few (for me anyway) highlights from the current Previews

My four day visit to Columbus Ohio and the PulpFest and some thoughts regarding same.

I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy the show for all the media stuff going on, but ended up getting some good bargains, so in the end, I guess I did enjoy it afterall! On this podcast I just talk about some of the stuff I got, and why I bought it. Some of you younger folks may not even have heard of some of it! I need to go a more in depth show on those various Archie Genre stories!

The title pretty much says it all! http://www.allentowncomiccon.com/ http://www.pulpfest.com/

VERY short one this time. Spent the day wondering what I could talk about and realized that the only comic I've read all week was Captain Marvel. I don't normally like to do negative reviews, but it's all I got! But hey! The pups decided to wrassle in the background, so at least THAT might be exciting...

The Flash Gordon volume coming from IDW is 12 X 16" not 12 X 12 as I said last time... That sheds a whole new light on things and changes my opinion on the best choice. I finished the Adaptoids story in Secret Avengers and REALLY liked it. Got my copy of Van Reid's new book: Moss Farm, and have started to read (and enjoy) it. www.moosepath.com Tony G. asks my opinion on IDW's Popeye series, and I oblige.

This time I babble about the planet (?) of Adaptoids in Secret Avengers (and beg for help in finding out more about them) Tom Hank's new animated series, Electric City:http://electriccity.yahoo.com/ep1-en-truth-or-consequences.html Peter Rio's new podcast - The Daily Rios: http://thedailyrios.com/ And answer a question that Peter asked me to talk about months ago!  https://shop.idwpublishing.com/definitive-flash-gordon-and-jungle-jim-vol-1.html (and by the way, the description at IDW says 12" X 16" - and that's a horse of a different color! https://shop.idwpublishing.com/definitive-flash-gordon-and-jungle-jim-vol-1.html

Van Reid's New Moosepath League adventure; Moss Farm, or the Mysterious Missives of the Moosepath League! has been released and is available at: http://moosepath.com/

I talk about three small press creators and their various works. These are people whose work I really admire: Daniel Elisii - Heyday Comics - http://insectash.com/ Kenn Minter - The Experts and I'm Not From Here - http://notfromherecomic.blogspot.com/ M Young - Kindlin' Quarterly and Wild Child - http://kindlinquarterly.com and http://wildchildcomics.blogspot.com/ Even if you don't want to hear me babble, PLEASE go check out the sites above and the work of these three folks, I can't imagine that you'll regret it!

I talk about the Ultimates New Ultimates Collected edition, the (way too many) comics and books I got this week, and some things that intrigue me (or I think are of note) from the new Previews issue. All mixed in with lots of digression! 

Sorry I haven't posted in the last week, but it's explained herein. Also go a bit off topic to talk about the prose fiction of two friends whose books / stories I've really enjoyed! Notes: Lammers Burlington Iowa Historical Fiction Fans http://www.mbgpress.info/index.php?task=list_author& BurlingtonBytheBook http://www.amazon.com/Cocke-County-Born-Raised-ebook/dp/B008GN0KD0/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1341422614&sr=1-1&keywords=cocke+county Hope you enjoy!

Short show - my thoughts on the new DC DVD - Superman Vs. The Elite.

This time I go a bit off topic to talk about my thoughts and experience with various eBook readers. I haven't tried them all, so I can only tell you about the ones that I've tried, but I hope it's of help to those trying to decide if digital prose is for them or not.

Just some thoughts regarding DC's Earth 2 comic. I read the first two issues this week.

A new Podcast I titled "On The Fly" for reasons I explain. This time I talk about the Mic Recorder App which allows me to Podcast from just about anywhere, and also Apple TV and Roku set top boxes. Feedback is appreciated!

This last episode on the New DC 52 includes my thoughts on; Justice League Dark 1, Savage Hawkman 1, Superman 1, Teen Titans 1, Voodoo 1, and All Star Western 1. Plus I also "grade on the curve" and tell you my top eleven issues, the one's that I'll be signing on for at the funnybook shop.

This one was easier than normal because I liked them all! Some more than others, sure, but... well, listen and I'll explain...

I had hoped to post this review of Justice League 1 on Wednesday when it came out, but alas, life conspired against me! And then I forgot my password which cost me another day. Sigh... Anyway, here is the first of (hopefully) several podcasts this month wherein I attempt to review all of DC's new 52. Wish me luck!
