    "Cool it, Man!  You Had Your Chance!"

    This week Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) get ready to hail to the Chief when they chat about the unprecedented (pun!) 1972 Presidential election wherein a young man named from Steadfast, U.S.A. Prez Rickard finds himself winning the highest seat in the land!  In addition to the comic itself, our registered voters cast their ballot for the DC-cratic ticket of Joe Simon and Jerry Grandenetti.

    Weird Comics Historians, Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@acecomics) sift through the reject pile and discuss Alan Moore's 1987 DC Comics pitch, Twilight of the Superheroes.  Join them as they break down Mr. Moore's take on a possible future for the DC Universe.  If you can imagine it, they're going to be discussing the year... 2000!

    They will set the stage for the world of Twilight (it's like you're there!), discuss the entire story and also share Alan Moore's demandments for the perfect comics crossover event!  If you listen closely, you might even learn how to defeat Captain Marvel!

    It's a great time as always, so give it a listen... and they swear, this is not an episode about John Constantine!

  • Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 55 - Trouble #5 (2004)

    This week, our comics enthusiasts Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) have one last summer fling with the five-part series by Mark Millar and Terry and Rachel Dodson Trouble, which came out on Marvel's Epic imprint in 2003-2004. They'll recap every single issue of this controversial series, paying special vocal attention to issue #5. After a break, Reggie and Chris come to a shocking realization about Trouble, and then talk about the climate at Marvel and detail two fellows that were as innovative as they were crass. Plus: how to make $20.000 at Marvel Comics! It's a scintillating look at teenage sexual exploration that Chris and Reggie largely sidestep to avoid feeling like dirty old men!

  • Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 5 - Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight (1994)

    We got... two tickets to Oa(dice), pack your rings we leave tonight!

    Substitute Lanterns Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@acecomics) take you on a tour of one man's perceived failure when they (briefly) share the tragic tale of Emerald Twilight.  In the wake of Coast City's destruction, Hal Jordan ain't quite feeling himself... after an abuse of power gets the attention of the Guardians of the Universe, they decide it might be time to have a chat with the protector of Sector 2814... a decision that they will likely regret... should they live so long.

    In addition to covering the issues, our historians discuss the controversy both before... and after the story went to print.  What was Gerard Jones' original plan for the leadup to Green Lantern (vol.3) #50?  What does the A in H.E.A.T. stand for?  Are there any potential back-doors out of crossing Jordan...'s rubicon?  What the heck is a Malvolio?  Did the fellas use a lot of this information in their Green Lantern (vol.3) #51 episode???  Listen and find out!

    (Note: At around five minutes in, Chris posits that the Guardians may have been influenced by "The Signalmen"... which isn't even a thing!  He meant to say "Lensman"... and we aren't sure what that is either!)
