No New Comics?
Marvel and DC have delayed new comics until the end of the month. How long can we go without new comics, and what's next for us after the quarantine?

No interruptions
Off the Rack, Elseworlds, and Back Issues are all on track for this week. Got an interview with Ron Marz lined up on Wednesday which will probably go out Friday. I did a live Twitter Q&A and a live Instagram Q&A last week, and they went so well I'm certain we'll do it again this week. Tiff is back to streaming on Twitch. We have this week, next week, and the following week's Back Issues cut and uploaded. No interruptions, only additions. Taking suggestions for topics and podcasts I sh...

Ugh
Hey gang,
Let's talk about the COVID video. First up, I want to talk about why we made it in the first place:
1. To spark some healthy discussion about the present state of the comic book industry
2. To jump on a topic that's happening right now, especially since we skipped that opportunity to do it live on Elseworlds to put out our chat with Flash writer Joshua Williamson. The episode was a blast to make, and had lower views than normal/expected, which was a kick in the bal...

The Patreon boxes went out today! Hope you dig 'em.
We killed the COVID-19 LCS video because too many people are incapable of having an honest coversation. Sorry, guys. I'll leave it unlisted so if you want, you can watch it. But I'm sick of defending ourselves or hearing justifications for piracy or total BS from people. Plus YouTube demonetized it, so if we're not even getting paid to put up with abuse, I'm taking it down.
Check back soon!

Six years
Six years ago today we launched Back Issues and changed my life. Today we're releasing this remastered cut of the first episode to see how far we've come (and how much weight I've gained) in that time! Enjoy, and here's to the next six! Thank you all so goddamn much.

Off the Rack temporary replacement?
With Diamond Distribution closing down until things cool off, that means next week's Off the Rack will be the last new comic book review episode for a bit. What would you like to see in its place while the industry catches back up? #comicpop

Switching episodes
So I've been sitting on that Silver Surfer Black episode for awhile. And now that we have another Batman episode in the hopper, I'm thinking it's time to switch them around-- Batman will come out April 1, and Silver Surfer will be on Wednesday. I know it's the 80th anniversary of Robin, but he can wait another week... If you have any thoughts, please don't be afraid to share!
2020-03-22 17:56:42 +0000 UTC View PostSome updates and a question!
New Jersey has officially shut down. A lot of non essential businesses are closed, which does NOT include us. As long as Ben and Ethan are healthy, we'll continue to meet up and shoot the shows as usual. Currently we have this week's episode, next week's episode, and the following week's episodes all shot, and 2/3rds edited and uploaded. And of course it takes far less coordination to keep doing Off the Rack and Elseworlds. Oh, and a huge Letters Page is coming. Just need to cut it down to si...

Just shot some stuff
The guys got a clean bill of health from the docs, so we met up and shot Letters Page and an extra Back Issues. This means we're covered next week, the following week, and the following week! Really wanted to do Batman Universe, but comic shops got the book a full week earlier than Amazon, so that had to go on the back burner. Ultimate Spider-Man made me think it's time to check whether we should keep going with these "series" episodes, like doing every volume of Ultimate Spider-Man ...

For March
Hey folks! So here's the deal-- we have this week's Back Issues edited, uploaded and ready to go. I'm editing next week's Back Issues, which is shot and mixed and will be ready before next week. And we have a third episode which is already shot, cut and on Patreon which will go out the following week (when Tiff and I had a vacation planned, which is of course not happening anymore). So that's three weeks' worth of Back Issues, not to mention our regularly scheduled Off the Rack and Elseworlds...

Just wrapped
Hey gang. We shot today's GBU and TWO episodes of Back Issues yesterday. That's right. I shot GBU and an Ultimate Spider-Man episode around 10 yesterday morning, went home and cut the Bloodshot special you've undoubtedly watched already, and then went back out with Tiff and Ben and shot another fun episode of Back Issues. Lots of work, lots of fun, and since the virus is spreading like wildfire we tried to get a bunch of stuff done asap in case anyone needed to voluntarily hide from the outsi...
