Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

You, who are about to listen... We Salute You!

Welcome friends to the first title-centric series here at the Chris and Reggie Channel as Chris (@acecomics) and... Chris (@Charlton_Hero) take you on a guided tour of Marvel's Earth-1287, a world with an alien invasion situation, and unfortunately for them, a world without super-heroes... that is, until Dr. Kimmo Tuolema devised the Morituri Process.  A process, under which superpowers could be granted to certain "lucky" folks... but at rather a high-cost.  The individual getting those powers is doomed to burn-out and perish within the next 12 months.

In this premiere episode, we meet our initial batch of would-be/might soon-be superheroes, with a particular focus on a young comic book fan, Harold Everson.  And, that is "comic book", singular... the poor fella's only ever read the one.  Also included, plenty of chatter that is both off-topic and potentially relevant... well, one of those is true for sure!

We also ask the tough questions that need answering... what was Bad Ronald's deal, anyway?  Why are Smarties called Rockets in Canada?  Did Gumby and Pokey ever make it to Gum-Dinger Land?  Why didn't Lazer Tag come with batteries?  Hopefully we'll be able to figure out at least one, and that one will be... One to Grow On.

We hope you enjoy!

Greetings, comic strip enthusiasts! In this episode, Worthiteers Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) peer into the salacious world of Santa Royale when they read a run of Mary Worth comic strips from 2006  by Karen Moy and Joe Giella! After picking apart the history of Mary Worth, and detailing this strip's trappings, they read every daily strip from July 2 to October 17, 2006, in which a new person moves into the neighborhood–and Mary Worth's life! Then, our newsies talk about other times comic strips tackled subjects taken from the headlines of the day, and even reveal a current storyline in Funky Winkerbean, which has yet to be resolved (as of this recording!) It's a real nail-biter, you don't want to miss it!

It's "Tales from the Undergrad" when Chris (@acecomics) shares some stories regarding a couple of the cornerstones of his earlier studies... social media addiction and forensic psychology (with a focus on missing children), the latter of which parlays into a discussion about the sorta-kinda obscure Lois Lane mini-series from 1986... a pre-Crisis story in a post-Crisis world (or something)!

It's a sobering and sad tale, wonderfully crafted by Mindy Newell and Gray Morrow... the comic that is.  The rest of the show is still a babbling idiot... and you can listen to him babble on about his love/hate relationship with the "media of social" for the better part of an hour!

Hello, patient listeners! In this episode, newborn babes Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) look at the most recent of DC Comics' many universe reboots when they read DC Universe: Rebirth #1 from 2016! After some biographical information about writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank, our inter-dimensional travelers look at what makes up a parallel universe, and then detail how DC acquired such a convoluted multiverse in the first place! After reading the issue, Reggie and Chris discuss what got them psyched about DC Universe Rebirth #1 and whether or not DC delivered on that enthusiasm. This episode is far less messy than an actual birth, you don't wanna miss it!

BREAK: DC Rebirth promo spot that ran on its All Access channel

Heyyy Gang!

In today's very special episode, Chris shares a very special issue sorta-kinda featuring the New Teen Titans.  Also, your host shares the story of a long-lingering addiction he once battled with... and no, we're not talking about comics!  That addiction he still can't kick!

Greetings, Cosmic Treadmilleers! In this episode. Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) give the full details about why there hasn't been a new episode of Cosmic Treadmill in a while, and when we can expect a new episode! It's a lot of talk and almost none of it is about comics, you might want to miss it!

It's Labor Day in America... and while a lotta folks might think of barbecues and getting the day off from work, your host's (@acecomics) mind goes immediately to the man who hosted the annual MDA Telethon every year, Jerry Lewis!  Year after year, the sight of Jerry Lewis' face would signify to many children that Summer vacation was over... and it was now time to go back to school.  We'll discuss a little bit of that here today.

Also, we'll touch on the part of the comics hobby I (for whatever reason) always equate with Summer vacation: the trading cards!  I'll teach you all where in the box those sneaky distributors always put the holograms!*

*If you don't get a hologram, that only means the retailer mixed up the packs.  The Cosmic Treadmill assumes no liability for misspent monies.

Who ever said there can only be one?  For today, we are ALL immortal.  Join your host, Chris (@acecomics) for stories of how hypochondria, an overactive imagination, and a tiny directionly-challenged bird made him recently question his own mortality... as well as an exercise in comparing and contrasting two takes on the weird DC Comics character, Resurrection Man!

Where else but during Super-Blog Team-Up: Immortal will you hear anyone talk about both versions of Resurrection Man?

All that, and details for my top secret Cheerios Diet... which, admittedly isn't too hard to crack the code on.  Remember, before starting any diet or exercise program to confer with an idiot who babbles into your ears for an hour and change on Wednesdays.

This week, in a weirdly Marvel-centric outing... Chris (@acecomics) takes you back to the Spring of 2010, during a time when two comic book teams took over much of his reading: the Brightest Day-era JLI... and a book he finally found at a most apropos time, Strikeforce: Morituri.  Join him as he makes many poor comparisons between agreeing to undergo the "Morituri Process" and accepting a temp job!
