Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

Old-Home Week continues as Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) briefly... ever so briefly, discuss how 50 cents could have either saved... or killed Batman's second sidekick!  They also reminisce about 1-900 numbers, so there's that.

As part of Weird Comics History's "Old Home Week" join Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@acecomics) as they discuss the British Invasion of DC Comics during the 1980's.  They discuss some of the heavy-hitters to venture across the pond to produce some incredible work for old DC.

They also both totally forget that Grant Morrison is Scottish.  Whoops!  Mea Culpa... or would that be Wea Culpa?

Join Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) for some Weird Comics Prehistory... that is to say, a very early (and relatively short) installment of Weird Comics History!  This time around they discuss that strange time in which Marvel came thiiiiiiiiiiis close to licensing DC's characters!

How can that be?  Well, hit that Play button and find out!

Behold, the first ever episode of Weird Comics History... from back when it was a 15 minute-ish segment on the Weird Science DC Comics Podcast.  Listen as Reggie (@reggiereggie) guides podcasting neophyte Chris (@AceComics) through his "first time out".

This inaugural auditory jem, we discuss the events leading up to... and falling out of the DC Explosion!

Marvel at the clunky stammering, behold Chris in all his mic-less glory!  Hey, at least it's just 15 minutes!

In this episode, Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) examine the little-known and once-used technique of "Gumping," that is to take a classic comic book (Amazing Spider-Man #47, for instance) and update it with new themes and characters like those that can be found in Deadpool #11 from 1997, written by Joe Kelly and drawn by Pete Woods! After some biographical information, it's on to the time-traveling, continuity-shattering events of the comic book to hand. Then, some wrap-up and a list of other comic book characters to break or obliterate the literary fourth wall. And finally: some listener mail! It's an episode jam-packed with silliness, so bring a happy attitude!

BREAK: Joe Kelly promo for Free Comic Book Day 2013

Join Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) as they travel back to 1980's New York City to discuss the 1986-1987 series Angel Love by Barbara Slate.  Luckily this is they discovered their passion and... ahem, talent... for voice acting!

During the summer of 1986 most DC Comics featured a most curious house-ad promising, among other things at least the passing mention of COCAINE?!!  What many comics enthusiasts may not know is this book actually DID came out later on that year!  Angel Love is a New York transplant coming from a quiet corner in Scranton, Pennsylvania hoping to strike it big as a cartoonist.  Along the way she will face drug-addicted boyfriends, a vapid (and more fun to read about) roommate, a bum who likes to sleep on her couch, and countless chatty cockroaches.  Is this what life in the big city’s all about?

Find out with us as we check out Angel Love.
