Download Here!In which the crew experience buisness-as-usual, as the month of guest stars winds down with a return to form with the week that never was - or perhaps, never should have been! Listen as the Off-Panel Podcast dissects the latest offering from DCnU, give mini-reviews of everything under the sun and rant about aloof continuity, managing to offer up no suggestions of how to fix it, make inappropriately placed movie plugs, discuss superhero voice actors, and chat up a brief word on Avengers vs. X-Men and DC's latest "Earth" series. One of us may or may not break our backs trying to record the episode.Featured in this week's episode: Reviews of Marvel, the (only) DC book this week, a Vertigo book that routinely earns half of the crew's praise, and an all-ages book that's too darn adorable to not read, followed by "The Avengers" trailer reactions, a revisionary's discussion of Ultimate Marvel, a surprising pre-order spike for an oft-criticized book, and the less-than-serious answering of some fan questions.Links of the Week:Daly Show Episode 7: "The Daly Superheroes"No More Heroes ComicComixtribe Store.

In which the crew welcome a third guest co-host as they try and decide whether it's truly okay to be gay - in comics, at least. They also play the gender mishmash game by answering the question of which characters could benefit from a sex change and why, tackling both sensitive subjects with a combination of brains and other appendages. For the first time in the history of OPP, the show is forced to go ahead without it's resident loveable Scotsman John Lees... or is it?Featured in this week's episode: Standard reviews of the week's DCnU titles, a Marvel title about a team led by an affectionate uncle, some titles that barely anyone has consistently read, and talk of a fan's publicized backlash against a supposed agenda in comics - that are quickly proven false by the writer placed under the scrutiny.

Also – shock of […]
Episode 6 DownloadIn which the crew finds themselves lost without their glorious(ly egotistical) leader for the week, still trying to make up for the loss with a cavalcade of reviews and the triumphant return of the group's token female. This results in discussion about an easy-fix retcon involving comfort food, the crime of removing a mustache, going all fangirly over The Dark Knight Rises, and unfortunately mourning the loss of another two iconic members of the industry. This episode will be lots of fun for the cannibals in your life.Featured in this week's episode: Reviews of Dark Horse, the group's latest DCnU picks, and two Marvel books - fronting topics of the new "rise" of Bat-mania, Image's new initiative, and favorite Captain America stories in the shadow of his creator's passing.

As the saying goes you don't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been. We explore the past and future changes at DC Comics. Pasko wrote the history for the 2007 DC Vault, and researched more material for last year's 75th anniversary Tashen book. You'll hear about Marty's 1970's DC retroactive Superman story, but also learn about deacdes of chnages and innovations to many of DC's top stars. From the stress filled stomach aches suffered by Wonder Woman editors when they got salacious stories from her creator William Moulton Martsers. Pasko and Cary Bates were given the task of coaching Mario Puzzo in Superman lore while Puzzo prepared to write the 1978 first screenplay draft for the Richard Donner film. You'll learn how editor Julie Schwartz revamped Batman in 1966, to catch the eye of television producer William Dozier and led to him craeting the ABC Batman TV show.Then Vaneta Rogers Of Newsarama is back to talk about the coming changes in the DCNU. Rogers has interviewed nearly all of the craetors involved in the relaunch,and between us we try to put the pieces together to figure out what may be in store for readers this September.

In this first part of a two part series, I, along with special guests Donovan Morgan Grant and Josh Bertone, discuss the news surrounding the DCnU! We talk about our initial reactions, the good, bad, and ugly in the Batman solicits, and the news that Babs is once again Batgirl.
As soon as the news broke last week regarding the DC Comics relaunch, Mr. Oddfellow and I wanted to get together and talk about it. Much has happened since last Tuesday's announcement, but we do talk about our reactions to the news, what we think of the initial 11 titles announced, plus the additional Green Lantern titles that had been announced at the time of recording, and some other stuff along the way as well.
