Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill episodes
- Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 119 - Star Wars #1 (1977)
Beep beep tweet, folks! In this episode, Nerf herders Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) look at some events that occurred some time in the past, in a remote corner of the universe, as depicted in Marvel Comics' Star Wars #1 by Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin, published in 1977! After some biographical information about these legendary creators, and a little background information on how the deal was struck, they go through every page of the inaugural issue, butchering the voices as politely as possible. After a break, these rebel traitors return to wrap up their histories of Mr. Thomas and Mr. Chaykin, and wrap it all up by talking about how the comic book fared at Marvel going into the 1980s–including an aside about a giant green bunny? The episode is more fun than a barrel full of light sabers, you don't want to miss it!

How do you measure,
Measure Young Animal?
In delays?
In t-shirts?
In f-words?
In cups of milk?
In pages, in singles, in trades and omnibi?
In One-Thousand Seven-Hundred Ninety-Two Minutes.
How do you measure a pop-up imprint?

1 hr 45 min - Cosmic Treadmill Special: Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 17
Greetings (for the second to last time), you Dangerous Humans! That's right, this is the penultimate installment on of our Young Animal Gatherum series of episodes. Doncha just love saying the word "penultimate"? Seems like the sort of word people use incorrectly all the time... like "prolific".
Am I rambling? Well, yes... because really, there isn't much to say here about the books we're reviewing this week. They are all *penultimate* issues, and the seams of truncation have become rather visible as our creative teams stomp on the brakes to get their stories wrapped up.
