Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill episodes

  • 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!)

  • Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 54 - Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Five! (1986) FINAL ISSUE

    Whew! Cosmic Treadmillers Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) pull into the last station on their tour of the 1985-86 landmark DC Comics 12-issue event, Crisis on Infinite Earths! After some recap, they dive into the longest, most detailed, and heavily "voiced" read of Crisis on Infinite Earths #12. Following a musical interlude, our weary duo look at the effects of this event and what they think are the positive- and anti-matters of this series--including their recollections of reading it for the first time!

    This concludes our 50th episode celebration. And look! We're already four episodes closer to a hundred.

  • Real Comics History, Episode 2 - The Year in Comics 1992

    There's an old saying that Pop-Culture is never as good as when you were 12 years old.  We're going to put that to the test today with this reupload of Real Comics History!  Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@acecomics) discuss the year 1992, when Chris was a lad of only 12.

    Topics of conversation include the Death of Superman, the world's lamest Paul Revere, Image Comics, Rob Lee-Field (maaaaaan), speculation, trading cards, Wizard Magazine, and much much more.  It's a fun chat, and we hope you enjoy!

    Enjoying "Real Comics History"?  We'd love to here YOUR stories from 1992 (and any year!)  We mention a reddit at the end of the episode... but pretend we didn't!  Instead, you can get a hold of us at [email protected] or via twitter @reggiereggie & @acecomics

  • Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 14 - Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #1 (1972)

    In preparation of the King of Comics, Jack Kirby's 100th Birthday Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@acecomics) have decided to reupload their (relatively short) chat about Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #1 from 1972.  Listen in wonderment as they dodge an anthropomorphic menagerie of critters and take that left-turn at Planet of the Apes!

  • Real Comics History, Episode 1 - The Year in Comics 1985

    Hello! Due to events beyond their control, Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) had to pre-empt their planned episode of Cosmic Treadmill. In lieu of it, they present a segment recorded for the weirdsciencedccomics.com podcast several months ago: a look at the year 1985 as it relates to comic books--and themselves! They naturally discuss the debut of Crisis on Infinite Earths, but they also talk about some of their favorite issues from that year--including one that can be thanked or blamed for getting Reggie into superhero comics! It's a different kind of episode that is hoped will entertain while we regroup for the next installment of Cosmic Treadmill. Thanks for your support!
