Thanks Derek, Sorry the file was so large

[comicbooknoise]

Next time, you may want to make it two shows. That way you can make it a bi weekly thing instead of a monthly thing.

Just a suggestion.

im always listening barb! & its great to hear you!! great show the both of you!! thank you for some more RMCBN awesomeness mike!!

[comicm]

thanks for listening Carlos. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Good episode. "1st Issue Special" sounds like a good title with a lot of unrealized potential. "War of Kings" looks like it's going to be a really fun book. I've dug all the prologue stuff that's come out so far.

I'm reading a good chunk of the books Vertigo is putting out, although there are a few I want to read that I'm not ("House of Mystery" and "Air," for example). Mike, what didn't you like about "Vinyl Underground?"

"Bomb Queen" is so very, very wrong, but I can't stop reading it. And feeling like I need to take a shower when I'm done.

BSG is the best show on TV. I've said it before and I'll say it again. As for "Heroes," I'd be really surprised if it came back next year.

Finally, Barb, it was great to hear you on a show, especially one where you're recording it on purpose and not because you happen to get picked up by accident while you're shouting at the TV.

[m-batz]

I enjoyed listening to your better half, Mike(besides random cursing at football). It's nice to know that there is one person in the Myers household who likes to read books without pictures. I read all the Stephen King books too Barb. I find it really cool that you have a wife who likes horror and Vertigo, Mike(lucky bastard) .I'm not a DC dude, but I enjoyed the War of Kings talk and the TV stuff. Sylar is probably my fav too, particularly this season. He is the "cure" . Granted, that cure causes death, but hey, no ones perfect. Can't believe the 2 of you have not yet saw the last 2 Potter movies. I would of pegged you for a big fan of the books, Barb.

I have started reading more War of Kings and am all caught up in Guardians of the Galaxy. I am really loving Marvel Space. I am now reading the older Annihilation Conquest stuff and it is fanastic.

For Vinyl Underground I really did not enjoy the story or the way it was written. There were some aspects I liked but overall it was very hard to get through it because I just was not interested in any of the characters or what they were doing.

Bomb Queen is really nasty and fun. Just when you think they can't get any worse you read on and sure enough you will find something.

We are loving BSG and Heroes. There is so much good TV on and on DVD right now.

Thanks for listening Luke.

I am a lucky bastard.

Sylar needs to kill the disease. He is our only hope from having all of these time jumpers mess up our future.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" is Marvel's best book right now, with "Nova" a very close second.

Thanks Luke! Glad I could try to improve my reputation as a loud foul-mouthed sports fanatic.

Hey Mike, thanks for the kind words. I love reading novels and that's why I like the trade format for reading comics. I do much better with big chunks of reading instead of being limited to just a few pages at a time.

I'm not sure why we fell behind in the Potter movies but I think Mike even bought them and we still didn't watch them. Who knows? To tell you the truth, I've never been into that genre of book. I like horror, mystery, Grisham, Crichton, crime dramas, and stuff like that. I would like to read The Dark Tower series from Stephen King, though. Have you read those books?

hey Barb. Yeah I read the Dark Tower books. They started out real well, but honestly, they totally lost my interest in the end. The last 2 or 3 books are downright boorrrring and really go off the rails at one point. I was really let down by those. If you want an awesome dark fantasy in that vein, I would totally recommend The Talisman by King/Straub(2 of my fav horror writers doing a collaboration) if you haven't already read it. . I also dig crime dramas. Have you read any Jeffrey Deaver? He writes these really fantastic crime novels/mysteries that always have super twists that you never see coming. They're really fast reads cause you can't put them down. He wrote The Bone Collector which was a movie with Denzel and Angelina Jolie. If you get any of his books, pick up the Lincoln Rhyme novels - that's the name of the detective that Denzel played in the movie. Another fav of mine is Nelson DeMille (probably my all time fav modern novelist)who also writes great books and a few crime novels with a detective named John Corey, but any of his books are really really good. The General's Daughter was one of his that a movie was based on. I'm sure you've seen his books at Barnes and Nobel...they're everywhere, like Grisham. I'm up to my eyeballs in fantasy right now, but I'm gonna take a break soon to read DeMille's new one. He's probably the only author that I'm willing to shell out for the hardback.

I never said that was a bad thing.

[Reddjakk]

Wow....Ladycop...uhmmm sounded like a PSA with pictures...I an see why it was never heard from again, almost sounded like an episode of Police Woman to me...you know the one with Angie Dickinson...but anyway thats just my opinion and with that and 4.65 you can get a Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha Venti....mmmmmmmmmmmm

The Inhumans you were so on track...it is freakin' fantastic...I had to fast forward through your War of Kings stuff because I have not read that yet (waiting for more issues so I can have a good long read with it)...but in my opinion the cosmic stuff in both Marvel and DC is their best stuff going right now.

And then...OMG yes it is...The Goddess that is Barb Myers on a podcast...I got so excited I had to pull over to calm down (my passengers were a little pissed even after I explained ...go figure) I am sorry Mike ...I love you but you two together... its like suddenly there is jelly with the peanutbutter...a whole new flavor sensation to wake up my earbuds

Anyway...all in all a great episode...

Thanks for listening Mike. I agree Barb is my better half. The LadyCop was a great story that we will never find out if she finds the killer. The PSA piece is pretty much just the VD portion of this book which is like three panels. The rest of the topics were not PSA.

Secret War Inhumans was fantastic and I must say that Kingbreaker is pretty darn good too. Did you read War of Kings Saga (free)? That was so great and comic company's should do this more often. I am going back and reading the Conquest stuff that I missed. Guardians of the Galaxy just keeps getting better and better.

[Reddjakk]

Yes I have the free issue...but I have not read it. It is in the pile with the rest of my War of Kings tie ins. I will probably wait till Kingbreaker 4 is released and then sit down and spend a Saturday in my Marvel Cosmic Universe...Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest are absolute stunners and if you have a deep Marvel background such as I do...the guest appearances and guest stars were mind blowing (well to me anyway)

Have you read R.E.B.E.L.S. 1 yet...I will probably read that this weekend

Dude you did not mention the cop holding what looks like a vibrator in Ladycop.

And she looks just like Angie Dickenson


And here is Ladycop

What was the year of Ladycop....Police Woman started in 1974 actually she was introduced in a 1973 episode of Police Story
