About 15 years ago we had a 3 foot snow. It was the greatest week ever!

Have to admit that these days it's pretty rare here too. Our oldest daughter is almost ten and I think it was only her second white Christmas.
As i type this there's an actual blizzard going on outside! But don't get me wrong we're loving it too.

aye, the snowfall for the upper Midwest goes up and down but this winter I feel there hasn't been too much of a let-up. In fact, snowstorms are hitting us right now. I really don't mind the snow, its the ice and sleet that make me go crazy

I will buy the upcoming Bendis & JRJR Avengers book but in order to do that I will drop Powers vol. 3 with issue #6 to balance everything out. I look forward to a new Gary Frank,Dave Eaglesham or John Byrne comic from the big two (I am not buying an overpriced Star Trek comic). Also I watched Smallville: Absolute Justice on VHS over the weekend & yes I also have a DVD player in the other bedroom as I am not in the 70s w/o cable. Plus I use Netflix for eight months out of the year to catch up on my movie viewing.

the New Segment gets a thumbs-up from this geek. Loved it. As far as for the Smallville movie, I DVR'd it and gonna watch it Wednesday w/some fellow geeks. Gonna try and catch all the Easter Eggs (thank goodness for this forum, cuz there is no way I would get them all)

Another great Monday episode guys. Comic Talk has become a necessity to start my week.
Wish we'd get some snow down here. Last time it snowed in San Antonio, TX was January 1985.

Snow is bad. Let's take Manhattan and Long Island, detach them, and sail them down to the tropics.
Peter, 20th Century Boys is amazing, but it takes a long time to get a release on the suspense. World's biggest tease! It's by the Monster Guy. Also make sure to check out Pluto. Pluto is only 8 volumes, so it's much easier to actually finish it. Volume 7 just came out.
The Monday episode shtick is good. I am one of those who skip a lot of episodes I have no interest in, but I listen to every Monday show, so definitely fill us in on any stuff we missed.

Ditto on the appreciation for 20th Century Boys. I abandoned buying it, though, when I heard that there'll be over 20 volumes by the time it's done. I just don't have the patience or shelfspace for that! I'll get 'em from the library.
I'm more of a story guy, too, but there are a few artists who'll get me to check out something I would normally pass up: Darwyn Cooke, for one, who has led me to, among other things, the Witchblade Animated Special one-shot and an early aughts Marvel anthology in which he drew a Scott Lang Ant-Man story. Cliff Chiang is another, even though he hasn't done a whole lot, but I'll be picking up that Brave & the Bold he's drawing (starring Wonder Woman, Zatanna, and Batgirl) in a few months. And though he's dead now, I certainly followed Mike Wieringo all over the industry in his day.
And Murd, Batman did sort of team up with G.I. Robot in an issue of Brave and the Bold... the Batman: The Brave and the Bold tie-in comic, anyway. In issue #6, Batman teams up with Kid Eternity to fight General Immortus, and over the course of the story, the Kid calls upon the help of Vigilante (the cowboy one), Shining Knight, the Viking Prince, and good ol' J.A.K.E. the G.I. Robot. It's a very fun story, one of the best of the series so far.

Aha! I have that issue! I thought the character pairing sounded familiar.

wondering if deemer's seen or read bachalo's sinister spider man yet, it just got released in tpb form..The artwork by far is the highlight of this mini..The story starts out like it coulda been something in the realm of "dark comedy" but by the end you're kinda like.."i just read that?"..HOWEVER! the art is awesome..Bachalo makes Venom look pretty slick..

I figured that if you didn't already have it, you'd definitely need it.
On a related note, G.I. Robot is this week's Comic Twart subject!

YES!!
I love packs/sets
I bought the first part of 52 for 0.50 each
I bought the entire Trinity for 0.50 each
I bought the first part of Incredible Hercules, etc etc.
makes total sense for the retailer to sell it at cost or close to cost... why keep this in your inventory?!?!

Isn't it hard to run a comic book podcast if you guys are not up-to-date on all your reading??
This is why you need to convince the publishers to send you guys free issues, so you can at least afford to review and talk about everything!!!
If that's unrealistic, then maybe you guys can split up each section of the universe and cover each section...
but that would just take the magic out of everything... wouldn't it? =)
