  • Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 39 - Green Lantern #51 (1994)
    This week, Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) stay chill while recounting the origin story of Kyle Rayner in Green Lantern vol. 3 #51 by Ron Marz and Daryll Banks! After some creator biographies and some catch up with the character and the story leading up to this momentous issue, they detail the entire comic book, including Kyle's ultra-hip lingo. After a break, C & R get to the real juicy stuff: how Peter Gabriel influenced the creation of Kyle Rayner, and a little salacious murder...most refrigerated! Not to be missed!

  • Weird Comics History, Episode 18: The Strange Story of the Sentry
    This week, Chris (@AceComics) takes Reggie (@reggiereggie) back to Marvel Comics' 21st Century renaissance to look at a "lost" character: the Sentry! A Superman-esque caped hero designed by Golden Age stalwart Artie Rosen in 1961, but unpublished and quietly shelved. After Rosen's passing, character designs were discovered, and it was up to Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee to bring the Sentry--Marvel's first superhero--into the light of day! They examine the Marvel Knights miniseries and discuss future adaptations of the character. Then, Chris and Reggie discuss some sales figures and whether or not the series was successful. Plus: a special secret surprise! Enjoy!
