Comic Culture

This show is actually from a few weeks back and I had this nagging feeling we posted it but I just checked the shows back into the spring and we should be good to go. Because we recorded a few weeks back at moments we may sound a bit behind the times but I really like the core premise of the show which is about knowing when not to walk away from something, when to just shut up and pony up.

Please let us know what you thought of the show.

Have you ever walked away not buying something and it bugged you on the ride home and it even bugs you to this day?

We noticed the batteries died while doing Amazing Spider-Man #129 so you'll get two takes on the same book (if anything, it does show that we don't rehash dialogue, nothing but improve from my pal Chris and I).

Please let us know what you thought of the show in the comments field below and please let's keep it civil.

Did we get it right? Did you have more sells? More buys?

This week comic book artist Casey Parsons drops by to chat about comics and what it's like pursuing the goal of becoming a comic book artist.

Humble beginnings; I drew all the time and loved comics, here when I was 16 yrs old I was making and printing and selling my own comic, "Q". It was drawn comic-sized, and all about trying to draw like the image and marvel guys with a pretty shallow action story.

After getting the comic shop Comic 1 Books in Stoney Creek, I got back into comics, first doing this sample "Alien Sky" for FanExpo in 2014, story by David Scacchi. He ended up redoing the story and drawing his own book later. Not long after was the time doing Blood Moon with Marty Birthelmer. 

And some recent works; the local GTA group passion project Cauldron magazine and some variant covers I've done. I've done work for DC, Image, Aftershock, Sourcepoint Press and most recent for Scout comics. 

This week Chris and Walt talk about the art of hunting for comics, in the old days it was ads in the papers, these days it's online. But today, just like back then, getting out and about is still a tried and true comic hunting strategy.

Please let us know what you thought of the show, leave a comment in the comments field below, and please keep it civil.

What's a successful comic hunting strategy for you?

This week Chris and Walt talk about the futility of collecting titles through the ages.

We'd love to hear what you thought of the show, please let us know in the comments field below and please keep it civil.

Do you collect the whole title? Through all the eras?

This week the boys try something offbeat and go off on a bit of a tangent, Walt tries to figure out just who his co-host is. Walt asks Chris a few telling questions, let's see what Chris is all about.

Please let us know what you thought of the showdown in the comments field and please keep it civil.

Did your answers compare to Chris'?

This week Chris tries to stump Walt on some comic book related tunes. Let's see how Walt does.

Please excuse the sound at times, Chris had the speaker a bit too close to the mic.

Please let us know what you thought of the show in the comments below.

Also, how did you do on the test?
