Show notes provided by Joe Peluso  Once again the Mint crew finds themselves in the "back of the store" chatting up all things pop-culture. Such "erudite" topics as a definitive Batman reading list and how many Superman villains can you name James, Chris, and Joe are discussed with the usual passion and expertise. Or is Joe just making stuff up with his inclusion of Terra-Man and Vartox being members of the Superman rogues gallery? And was the Toyman ever anything more than just a disgruntled Toys "R" Us employee?    But then, as was often the occasion back in the "brick-and-mortar days of Mint, a gauntlet is thrown down! The conversation changes as James introduces a new segment to the podcast: "Pop-Culture Confessions". What ensues is a classic string of hilarity, embarrassing admissions, and a couple of time-honored rants. And no, Kyrie Irving is not mentioned!   This latest entry of the "back of the store chat" comes so close to the real thing, you will believe you are once again standing amongst your friends at 664 Port Washington Blvd. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. "Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name".

Blessings and Riches, my friends... for today is a day like no other.  Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Vartox Week! Today Chris (@acecomics) shares the story of how a hairy-chested mustachioed alien stranger saved his blog from terminal burn-out!  It's a discussion about the frustrations associated with the creation of content, getting into one's own head, and attempts at side-stepping writer's block. All that and a Bronze-Age issue of Superman to boot! Celebrate Vartox Week responsibly... and remember, this is the one week a year where we're all Valerians! -- Original Discussion: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/2018/08/superman-281-1974.html -- Vartox Week Page: http://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/p/vartox-week.html -- Cosmic Treadmill, Episode #111 (Deep-Dive on Vartox) https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-2482v-9c3fd5 -- Cosmic Treadmill Classic: Weird Comics History, the Comics Code Authority https://www.chrisandreggie.com/2018/03/chris-and-reggie-box-set-volume-1.html -- HOT-TAKE: Letters Page from Superman #285 (March, 1975) Re: The First Appearance of Vartox! -- weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.com @cosmictmill @reggiereggie weirdsciencedccomics.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com

Greetings, Eternals! In this episode, Brutal Exterminators Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) examine one of the weirdest characters in DC Comics' pantheon: it's Vartox Week! A discussion of every appearance of Vartox, with special concentration on Superman #281 by Cary Bates and Curt Swan, and Power Girl vol. 2 #7 by Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, and Amanda Conner! Without skimping on the requisite creator bios, our swoon-proof mortals detail every issue in which Vartox appears, even if only for a panel. Plus, they detail the mysterious film origins of this character–both the origins and the film being mysterious! This episode is so chock full, you'll need a Hyper-Ear to listen to it! Be sure to check out Chris' written posts for "Vartox Week," which started this whole mess: https://www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com/p/vartox-week.html patreon.com/chrisandreggie weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com facebook.com/cosmictmillhistory @cosmictmill weirdcomicshistory.blogspot.com search "weirdcomicshistory" on YouTube BREAK: Trailer for Zardoz (1974) https://youtu.be/UrGOHzsttUo

[rating:3.5/5] MATTHEW AQUILA #1 Release date: 25 March $3.99 (US) / £2.99 (UK) The latest US-format comic book from 2000 AD! He was one of the rebellious gladiator-slaves crucified by the Romans for being part of Spartacus' uprising, and in his final moments he cried out to the gods for vengeance. Something heard him, and brought him back from the dead in exchange for his soul. He is Aquila, and he is now the unstoppable instrument of Ammit the Devourer who hungers for the souls of men - and Aquila will keep feeding her until the debt is paid! [rating:3/5] RODRIGO Atomas Atomas is a fascinating puzzle game, which you can learn in seconds but will entertain you for weeks. The perfect game for your spare time! Your little universe starts with hydrogen atoms only but with the help of the energy rich plus atoms you are able to fusion two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom, 2 helium atoms into one lithium atom and so on. Your primary goal is to create the valuable elements like Gold, Platinum and Silver. But watch out, if your universe is overfilled with to many atoms it will cause a big crunch and the game is over. One way to prevent this is to build up long symmetries in your atoms and start big chain reactions.

For the 67th episode, we move up a few months to Superman 281, where Superman first met Vartox, an older hero from another world who, while being an ally of the Man of Steel, would often end up having to go against our favorite hero. Plus, he was based on Sean Connery's appearance in the box office clunker Zardoz. Not only that, but J David Weter tells us all about "The Gun that Mastered Men" in another thrilling installment of Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes in the Bronze Age.
