Joe and Cory!! have not done a new

podcast where they just sit down and talk comics in a while, so now

that Joe picked up a NEW computer, it’s time to get caught up! Joe

talks about what he has been up to for the last three weeks. They

talk about comics news, what they have been doing and a LOT more,

such as:

* More information on the St. Cloud

Comic Con

* Why it’s OK for cosplayers not to

know who created the characters they are dressing as

* Finding cheap omnibuses.

* Nothing but pizza delivered in

Chaska MN on a Sunday night.

* What is happening with the DC 100

page books.

* Cory!! sees bad movies that aren’t

that bad?

All this, the usual shenanigans and

much, much more!

This week, Cory!!, Joe and the ever

elusive Butch go on a road trip to his comic shops in Southern MN.

Ride along as they talk about comics, TV, movies and all sorts of

other things, such as:

* They discuss the shops they will

be going to and what they are doing on the day they visit.

* Books they have been reading

lately.

* What’s going on with the X-Men.

* IT’S RAINING PRETTY HARD!

* What is your favorite comic?

* Conventions, shows and toy shops!

* Is there black ice on the roads in

July?

* Cory!!’s rules for appearing at a

convention.

* You can even hear the thunder as

they drive!

All of this, jokes that veer off the

road of good taste, extra shenanigans, and much, much more!

Last week, Joe dragged Cory!! to a convention, this week, he dragged him to downstate Minnesota, so this week, they have been hit by the Dreaded Deadline Doom! Normally there is a fill-in episode ready to go, but instead, this is a rebroadcast of another podcast Cory!! does.

The Fanstastic Fourcast had a single episode WAY back at the beginning of the year, but it’s about to fire up again with new episodes, so here is an introduction to the show!!

It’s a podcast 57 years in the making! It’s.. The Fantastic Fourcast!

Face front, True Believers, because hosts Cory Strode (yes, he’s on

another one) & Adam Vermillion (yeah, that pizza & comics guy)

are here to take you on a monthly journey that ranges from Central City

to the Negative Zone to Latveria (and maybe Counter Earth) and back.

Every 30 days the guys will talk about four issues of Marvel’s First Family! Cory’s a long time reader and font of knowledge. Adam… is not. At least not about the FF.The podcast is at http://fantasticfourcast.solitairerose.com/

Adam is over at http://www.fancypantsgangsters.com/show-category/floc/

Every month, comics companies contribute to the monthly catalog called Previews. And if you want to pre-order your comics, which you should be doing. So, Cory!! and Joe go through the catalog to point out the new stuff, hardcovers, trade paperbacks, and Omnibusessses they will be ordering. They also discuss:

* Halloween comic fest, is it a thing stores like and care about? * Joe doesn’t like the new layout in Marvel Previews. * Cory is buying a comic because, Christina Hendricks?

All of this, the usual shenanigans and much, much more!!

So much news this week that all we can

really do is talk about it all. Cory!! and Joe go over all of the

big comics news this week, including:

* The Walking Dead comics has ended

is a surprise to everyone.

* Has any other comic pulled this

sort of storyline before where a book is “surprised” cancelled

* Mad Magazine is ending.

* Cory!! and Joe discuss the reasons

why is it ending and their thought for the future fo the franchise

* What do the Wal Mart 10 for $10

bundles mean

* What is the future of the DC Wal

Mart books?

* Little Mermaid casting news

* A check in on the new Spider-Man

movie. Cory!! saw it, Joe didn’t. The slacker

* Sandman is coming to Netflix

All of this, the usual shenanigans and

much, much more!

They keep forgetting to talk about the

Avengers movie, so instead of giving a recap, they discuss the

after-effects on the Marvel Movie Universe! They also discuss:

* Cory!! starts promoting a nothing

appearance.

* Joe explains the “Joe Prize”

* Joe gets Cory!! to talk Jack Kirby

about 10 minutes into the show. Because that’s all you need.

* The origin of the Marvel Movies

and why the notoriously cheap head of Marvel greenlit that movie

studio.

* Who should be the Big Bad for the

next Phase of the Marvel Movies?

* How will the next Spider-Man movie

deal with the after effects of Avengers

* The issues with dealing of half of

all life returning after 5 years.

* The one movie Cory!! saw in the

the theater alone

All of this, the usual shenanigans and

much, much more!

All of this, the usual shenanigans and

much, much more!

There’s been a lot of news coming from

the world of comic books in the last few weeks, and rather than

having a normal theme, Cory!! and Joe talk about it, as well as a

bunch of other topics. It’s like hanging out at the comic shop on a

comfortable couch and talking comics.Without the customers.

story from Marathon Man

Jim Lee for a store signing

One of the things comics readers get

every month is a huge catalog of the comics they can ordfer, called

Previews. Every month, Cory!! and Joe go through it to point out what

is new and interesting. This is the episode where they do that for

this month!!! Because of that, it’s super-sized AND they talk about

other stuff, such as:

* What character did Marvel LOSE the

copyright for?

* Why Cory!! still buys comics by

Neal Adams

* How is the new Ghost Spider comic

gonna get things weird with Spider-Man

Monsters comic and how did Scott Lobdell get into comics foir the

same reason

cost of your comics

All of this, the usual shenanigans and

much, much more!!

You know how we had to use a fill-in last week? 

Now we get the low down scoop on WHY Joe wasn’t available to record last

week!  Was he on a secret mission for the government?  Was he involved

in crypto-terrorism?  Did he go out into the

world with a vest and pretend to be our own charming and delightful

Uncle Rat Bastard?

WE AREN’T GOING TO TELL YOU NOW!   Listen to the episode to find out, geez.
