The dead are rising…but it is your fairly sick and unhealthy hosts, OR, is it the terrifying arrival of the Black Lanterns?!? Well, actually, a little of both. The podcasting event JLMay is back, and this time the subject is the epic crossover event from 2009, Blackest Night! In a weird coincidence, neither Mike nor Paul (moreso Paul, when this was recorded) were feeling particularly healthy as they discussed the Doom Patrol tie-in issues to this event. But enough about those 2 sickos! If you’d like to hear more about the DC Universe taking on these undead Lanterns, make sure to visit The Podcast of Oa and tune in to episode 138 for background info on the event - and then visit these fine podcasts for the rest of the story!

Yes... we're only four episodes in... it's another bwah-ha-ha book, but there's a special reason for that.  And really, that's not the meat and potatoes of this episode anyway.  This time out, Chris (@acecomics) is joined by another Chris... Chris Bailey (@Charlton_Hero) of the SuperHero Satellite who shares the origins of the Mighty Super-Blog Team-Up! After Chris (the usual one) discusses his first offering to #SuperBlogTeamUp, Chris (the other one) shares his comic book "secret origin"!  From his early days, reading coverless comics that missed the trash can... to his introduction to the internet comics community.  Then... the main event, from the germ of an idea of a blogging crossover, to what became the Super-Blog Team-Up! All that... plus, a special announcement!  It's a great time... check it out!

ITG is back with another participatory episode in this year's #BestEventEver blog/podcast team-up!  For the past 3 years, a loose confederation of comics bloggers & podcasters has gotten together to jam on one of DC Comics' annual x-over events - and this year, we've decided to dig deep into 1995's Underworld Unleashed!The UU story, which shined a light on the villains of the DCU, ran through a 3 issue core mini series & over 40 tie-ins throughout the DC line.  On this episode, I'll be recapping issue #2 of Underworld Unleashed, in which Neron momentarily turns his gaze away from the villains, and instead focuses on DC's greatest heroes!Download this episode HERE!And please be sure to check out further Underworld Unleashed coverage at these fine sites:Relatively Geeky Podcast Network  Resurrections: An Adam Warlock/Thanos Podcast  The RetroistChrisIsOnInfiniteEarthsCosmic TreadmillThe Pop Culture PalaceRolled Spine's Diana Prince: Wonder Woman PodcastThe Idol-Head of DiaboluJustice's First DawnComic Reviews by WaltJustice Trek: The Podcast Scroll down to see a few images from these issues below, and check out previous episodes of I'm the Gun on iTunes & Google Play!Thanks for listening!Music used in this episode: (Every Day Is) Halloween by Ministry; Hell by Squirrel Nut Zippers Leave it to the Joker to sell his soul for a box of cigars . . .

I'm thrilled to once again participate in what's become a fun annual tradition, the #BestEventEver blog/podcast team-up!  For the past 3 years, a loose confederation of comics bloggers & podcasters has gotten together to jam on one of DC Comics' annual x-over events - and this year, we've decided to dig deep into 1995's Underworld Unleashed!The villains of the DCU got a chance to shine during this event, and some pretty interesting match-ups came about between the villains & some unfamiliar opponents throughout the DC line.  Case in point, on of the 2 stories I'll be recapping & commenting on: retired Golden Age hero, Ted Knight (formerly Starman) takes on infrequent Batman foe, Dr. Phosphorus in Starman #13.  And in one of the stories in the 12th issue of the anthology, Showcase '95, Starman-cast member, The Shade, is confronted by the primary antagonist of Underworld Unleashed, Neron!If you're interested in taking the plunge with us, I encourage you to:Download this episode HERE!And please be sure to check out further Underworld Unleashed coverage at these fine sites:Relatively Geeky Podcast Network  Resurrections: An Adam Warlock/Thanos Podcast  The RetroistChrisIsOnInfiniteEarthsCosmic TreadmillThe Pop Culture PalaceRolled Spine's Diana Prince: Wonder Woman PodcastThe Idol-Head of DiaboluJustice's First DawnComic Reviews by WaltJustice Trek: The Podcast Scroll down to see a few images from these issues below, and check out previous episodes of I'm the Gun on iTunes & Google Play!

Here's a head-scratcher. The Justice maxi-series by Jim Krueger, Alex Ross, Doug Braithwaite, Todd Klein, and Joey Cavalieri did not feature Booster Gold or Captain Atom. So why are we reviewing issue nine? Because this podcasting community is freaking awesome! The JLMay event organizers found a back-door way to include Jay and Roy.This crossover began with Fire & Water #193, then continued into Super Mates #70, The Idol-Head of Diabolu #30, Views from the Longbox #263, Pulp 2 Pixel, The LanternCast, and Shazamcast before landing here at Silver & Gold Podcast. We do our best with this comic before passing the torch on to Power of Fishnets, Waiting for Doom, and Justice's First Dawn. Fingers crossed that we'll be back for JLMay 2018!

A brief overview of the Sleuth from Outer Space's history shapes a variety of interviews with comic creators and show business talents covering six decades of J'Onn J'Onzz, the Manhunter from Mars' career as an alternative to mainstream super-heroes, who nonetheless stands as a founding member of the world's greatest group of champions, the Justice League of America. Abridges three episodes of The Idol-Head of Diabolu Podcast, 15, 20 & 27, focusing on the talents who have loved and supported the Alien Atlas since 1955 as they appeared in exclusive interviews and others culled from across the internet.We enjoy dialogue on the red planet, so here are our non-telepathic contact options:Tweet host Diabolu Frank directly, or probe @rolledspine as a group.Email DiaboluIf the main Idol-Head of Diabolu blog isn't your thing, try the umbrella Rolled Spine Podcasts.

Comics Bulletin & Alex Ross on the Cusp of J'onn J'onzz's 61st Anniversary On October 8, 2014, the website Comics Bulletin published a discussion between Bryan Stroud and the famous painter of Marvels and Kingdom Come in the article Alex Ross Talks About the Martian Manhunter on the Cusp of J'onn J'onzz's 60th Anniversary. Nearly two years later, with the Alien Atlas' next birthday imminent and with the help of an online text-to-audio program, Diabolu Frank joins their conversation...

Podcast- Adjudicating J'Onn J'Onzz (ComicsVerse v Martian Manhunter) The website Comicsverse, "your source for in-depth comics analysis" very very briefly ran a series of podcasts (exactly two to date, the last one in January) under the banner "Best Underrated Characters in Comics." Mind, this is out of 80 shows in total, and there've been 19 since, so perhaps they just abandoned the premise. I tend to think that's for the best, since I find the title misleads one into thinking they're going to select a character they find deserving of attention they haven't received and tell you why they're boss. Unfortunately, in the episodes shining a white hot interrogation lamp on two heroes I'm very fond of, the shows instead felt like inquisitions to determine whether they are in fact underrated, or just poo (with the moderator's thumb on the scale weighing toward poo in both cases.) One was Doctor Strange, and you should know by the subject of this blog who the other was... Join me for a special feature length episode with Diabolu Frank for the defense in the case of ComicsVerseS the Manhunter from Mars, but you should lead with the prosecution's case before you allow me to retort! Superman, Batman, Aquaman, and the rest of the Justice League will be called into question and occasionally treated as hostile witnesses as part of The Trial of the Incredible Hulk Sleuth from Outer Space!

Podcast- JLA: Day Zero (1994) The Manhunter from Mars offers a final supplemental postscript to JLMay-- The JLA: Year One Podcast Crossover Event! Think of it as JuneLA, or maybe a JLMepilogue. In the third edition of JLA: Day One, Diabolu Frank discusses the controversial Zero Hour retcon of Triumph as a founding member of the Justice League, alongside the Post-Crisis Five and Superman, in Justice League America #92 (September, 1994)! Just keep telling yourself it never happened, because it never did, right from the beginning! In fact, that was kind of the whole point! Bookending that topic are excerpts from Chase #6 (July, 1998) and Martian Manhunter #17 (April, 2000) covering the retroactive continuity predecessors to the JLA, the Justice Experience and their mysterious member Bronze Wraith...

Podcast- JLMay (1998) JLMay-- The JLA: Year One Podcast Crossover Event finally reaches our humble blog full force! Since everyone else partnered up to cover their chapters of the maxi-series, Diabolu Frank opted to call in his super buddies at Rolled Spine Podcasts for a sort of hybrid show!

Podcast- JLA: Day Minus-One (1977) The Manhunter from Mars offers a supplement to JLMay-- The JLA: Year One Podcast Crossover Event! In the second edition of JLA: Day One Diabolu Frank discusses his (and apparently Comics Should Be Good's Brian Cronin's) favorite origin story for the team from Justice League of America #144 (July, 1977)! Another very important tale of the Sleuth from Outer Space, "The Origin of the Justice League - Minus One!" offers a prequel to the better known Silver Age story that firmly grounds the team (but especially J'onn J'onzz) in the paranoid 1950s McCarthy era America! This setting and the influence of the Steve Englehart/Dick Dillon story have permeated the Alien Atlas' modern interpretation, arguably having more impact on how the character is perceived by fans today than any comic that preceded it!

In the first edition of JLA: Day One (1961) Diabolu Frank discusses one of the single most important tales of the Sleuth from Outer Space, "The Unmasking of J'Onn J'Onzz," the solo story that made it possible for the Alien Atlas to join the JLA! We also look at the first version of the team's origin from Justice League of America #9 (February, 1962) with extensive critical commentary on the early years of the team and key revisions such as 1988's Secret Origins #32!

Podcast: 60 Years of Martian Manhunter - 1957 After nearly a year, you'd be forgiven for thinking we were covering our retrospective of John Jones' publication history in real time. Blame our coverage of the current but increasingly finite ongoing Martian Manhunter maxi-series? 1957 offers a lot of repeats with slight variations on John Jones stories, but also the debuts of pretty probationary policewoman Diane Meade and TOR, Robot Criminal from Mars! Also, we look at the Sleuth from Outer Space's international publication history, which started quite early in Mexico and Australia, the latter proving the Martian Detective his first ever cover appearance (a phenomena well known to Aquaman, who turned up on lots of foreign editions in original illustrations before fronting a book in his native country.) Also, ads for our friend podcasts, Pulp 2 Pixel's Secret Sagas of the Multiverse and Count Drunkula's The Power of Fishnets. Please stick around to rank the Detective Comics stories from 1955-1957...

Podcast: Martian Manhunter's 60th Anniversary Special Part Two (1993-2016) New York Times Program Synopsis: A special which pays tribute to The Manhunter from Mars, the least popular co-founder of the Justice League of America and one of the greatest hanger-on associates to pop culture heroes of all time. The special interweaves memorable moments from J'onn J'onzz's television series, cartoons and comics highlighting his super powers, secret identity, acts of heroism, and personal life. Also included are comically inept text-to-audio vignettes featuring unrecorded guest stars discussing the best super-hero ever of Middletown, U.S.A. 00:01:38 Prelude: My Name is J'Onn J'Onzz 00:06:50 Reevaluating the Martian Manhunter with Grant Morrison 00:09:54 Justice League Task Force with Peter David 00:16:41 JLA with Grant Morrison, Howard Porter & Kevin Smith 00:30:20 Martian Manhunter solo series with John Ostrander 00:36:28 Elseworlds with Howard Chaykin, Darwyn Cooke & Mark Waid 00:47:47 Martian Marvel Media with Carlo Barberi, J.

Podcast: John Jones in Smallville, Part 1 Beginning this episode: an irregular series of shows covering appearances by the Sleuth from Outer Space on the WB/CW's long-lived Superboy Clark Kent developing into Superman TV show Smallville. This initial installment looks briefly at the show's formative development, then summarizes John Jones' cameo debut in the sixth season episode "Static," followed by the launch of the Martian-less not quite a "Justice" League, and finally the full debut of the Manhunter as portrayed by Phil Morris in "Labyrinth." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/diabolu-frank/message

Podcast: Martian Manhunter's 60th Anniversary Special Part One (1955-1993) New York Times Program Synopsis: A special which pays tribute to The Manhunter from Mars, the least popular co-founder of the Justice League of America and one of the greatest hanger-on associates to pop culture heroes of all time. The special interweaves memorable moments from J'onn J'onzz's television series, cartoons and comics highlighting his super powers, secret identity, acts of heroism, and personal life. Also included are comically inept text-to-audio vignettes featuring unrecorded guest stars discussing the best super-hero ever of Middletown, U.S.A.

Podcast: Sleuth from Outer Space Semicentennial This week we discuss the only major acknowledgement of Martian Manhunter's 50th anniversary to see print, the 2005 SDCC convention program book, including a reading of the Mark Lucas article "Fear and Loathing on Mars: The Long and Strange Trip of J'onn J'onzz, Manhunter from Mars."

Before that though, we look at the sales numbers available on this series to date, and compare them to Cyborg #1, which is also discussed in some detail.

Podcast: The Top 10 Most Important Martian Manhunter Villains As part of the sixth seasonal Super Blog Team-Up's theme of top ten lists, Frank offers an audio synopsis of the series of essays The Ten Most Important Martian Manhunter Adversaries from 2010, which has held up pretty well these past four years since nothing much ever happens to the Alien Atlas, even during a line wide reboot. The "new kid" on this particular block debuted in 1998, and how many foes of the New 52 Manhunter can you name, anyway?

Podcast: Threessentials In a second(!) episode for April (clearly failing weekly offerings, that's a step up from monthly!) we catch up with correspondence given short shrift since the last mail heavy episode, #6: Strawmanhunter from Mars. Besides reading all the long form comments since mid-March, Frank elaborates at length. For instance, he reads a letter about applying the "Three Point Model," three short definitive statements about a character, to the Alien Atlas. Discussion includes the less than stellar Martian invasions of Earth, John Jones' sociopolitical leanings, and more randomness that hopefully augments folks' understanding of the character.

Podcast: 60 Years of Martian Manhunter - 1956 After a hiatus of four episodes and three months, we finally return to our year-by-year overview of the Sleuth from Outer Space's early adventures, 1956 being his first full year of publication with a dozen cases to cover. Co-creator and initial writer Joe Samachson is replaced first by Dick Wood before the arrival of the longest consistent scripter of the strip, Jack Miller. Joe Certa carries on with his own lengthy run on art, here mostly on Detective John Jones as a plainclothes policeman with extraordinary powers who only occasionally runs across challenges of a truly supernormal nature. 1956 Cover Dated Story Synopses #227: "The Man With 20 Lives" #228: "Escape To The Stars" #229: "The Phantom Bodyguard" #230: "The Sleuth Without A Clue" #231: "The Thief Who Had Super Powers!" #232: "The Dog With A Martian Master" #233: "The Ghost From Outer Space" #234: "The Martian Convict" #235: "The World's Greatest Magician" #236: "The Great Earth-Mars Mystery" #237: "The Sleuth Who Went to Jail" #238: "Earth Detective For A Day" We enjoy dialogue on the red planet, so here are our non-telepathic contact options: Tweet host Diabolu Frank directly, or probe @rolledspine as a group.

Podcast: The New 52 Martian Manhunter In light of DC Comics' official discontinuation of the "New 52" brand just as they finally announce the now-not-New 52 Martian Manhunter series we've been waiting for since 2011, Frank looks at the history of the Alien Atlas within the context of the current publishing continuity.

Podcast: Strawmanhunter from Mars This episode, we look at the solicitation copy for the 2015 Martian Manhunter (mini-?) series, as well as a fan rumor about Vile Menagerie favorite appearing on the upcoming CBS Supergirl show (we know better than to even hope without confirmation.) Then we answer your comments from previous shows at length, including which Marvel Comics heroes he most resembles (The Vision isn't even mentioned) and more on J'Onn J'Onzz's solo viability related to that Comics Alliance article discussed last month.

Podcast: Making Sense of the Martian Manhunter This episode, Frank responds to an article on Comics Alliance by Chris Sims where the columnist devotes more time to thinking about the pros and cons of the Manhunter from Mars than most folks would ever spare. Sims felt the Alien Atlas compared unfavorably and unavoidably to Superman and Batman in the Justice League, and that he works best filling their vacuum in instances where the World's Finest duo are unavailable. Frank mostly agrees, but explains that there are a lot more venues available for that service within the DC Universe than might have been previously considered, including adopting orphaned concepts from prior periods of those heroes' library. Remember kids, just because you only know a character from team books doesn't mean that's all there is to know...

Podcast: 60 Years of Martian Manhunter - 1955 Three episodes in, we finally cover the debut comics of J'Onn J'Onzz, the Manhunter from Mars. The Batman and Roy Raymond TV Detective stories from Detective Comics #225 are given brief nods before diving into a synopsis of "The Strange Experiment of Dr. Erdel" (01:46). A rather overwrought analysis of this first story of Detective John Jones (05:54) precedes coverage of the second "half" of the origin, the run-of-the-mill mostly standalone tale "The Case of the Magic Baseball" (18:46). Finally, "Martian Morphing Mail" (21:10) has already morphed away from the previous episode's audio, and is a bit livelier this round. Coming in at a stout 31:24, look for the show to lean back up again now that the heavy lifting of our subject's introduction is out of the way (and hopefully less painful voice "acting.")
