Stephen and Griffin are joined by Lunch Over Graphic Novels co-host Adam (from Earth 2.net) to discuss award-winning graphic novelist Craig Thompson's body of work, including 1999's Good-bye, Chunky Rice, 2003's Blankets, 2004's Carnet de Voyage and 2011's Habibi!

Show Notes:

Special guest and Instant Depths host Adam OrdyJohn gets to flex his Acmecast muscules again and school everyone on the origins of Doctor Who via Prisoners of Time #1 from IDW! Then Jermaine and Jody join the Timelord-wonder to go over casting rumors from the Amazing Spider-man sequel and all the other Comics at the Table!

Show Notes:

Stephen celebrates the century and a quarter episode of Acmecast by making good on a promise from Acmecast #100, interviewing his parents, Janet & Richard Mayer, on their thoughts about Acme Comics, classic sci-fi and fantasy, superhero blockbusters, physist graphic novel biographies and MORE!

Editor's Note: - with the title, derived from the first page of All Star Superman, I meant in no way to liken myself to Superman or imply that I must have been adopted, I more wanted to compare the salt-of-the-earth, grounded perspective my parents have on comics to that the Kents gave to Clark when he landed on Earth.

Jermaine, Stephen and Jody meet up on Thursday afternoon to recounts the magical events of Wednesday, pay tribute to those that bring color into our lives, look into the future with an advance review of Uncanny X-Men #1, and go through all of the #1's at the Table!

Show Notes:

Jermaine, Stephen and Griffin check in from the road on the way back from the Charlotte Mini Con on Sunday to bring you a cramped and energetic serving of Comics at the Dashboard, complete with vehicular malfunction, censured commentary and MORE!

Show Notes:

Jermaine and Stephen take a break from the Acme hustle and bustle on a rainy Thursday afternoon to sit down and talk to next week's Uncanny X-Force #1 writer Sam Humphries about taking over from Jonathan Hickman on the Ultimates, developing comics for MySpace, and how much warmer it is in California!

Show Notes:

Stephen, Griffin and Riley commemorate the final issue of Sweet Tooth, #40 released this week, with a brief restrospective of Jeff Lemire's career thus far, both his creator-owned and licensed work! They also follow up on the Big Bang bamboozlement and hit a couple of Comics at the Table that may have slipped through the cracks on Friday's show!

Show Notes:

Jermaine, Jody, Michael and special guest Jay Howerton throw all sense of jurisprudence to the wind as they preside over the cases of Acme Comics v. the Big Bang Theory over whether or not females are a welcome and not at all unusual demographic of the comics community, Damian Wayne v. Kid Loki to decide the right bodyguard in times of strife, and Superior Spider-man v. the Haters on whether or not it makes any sense, I guess!

Show Notes:

Jermaine, Griffin and Jody follow Stephen on a Facebook induced trip down memory lane to look at just how much Acme, and comics in general, have changed since "MayerMayNot" was hired back in early 2007!

Show Notes: 

Jermaine, Stephen and Griffin sit down with 2012 Acme Comics Customer of the Year Tyler Anderson to discuss his comic book secret origins and favorite titles! Then it's on to Comics at the Table with Marvel NOW!, Image one-offs and Death of the Family!
