How many times can I say that I'm a sucker for people promoting their own stuff? The Kickstarter Hustle is real folks and I respect the Hell out of it.

That's why we have Jim Ousley back on the show to talk about his newest project The Atonement Bell.

The Atonement Bell as a project can be found on Twitter @AtonementBell and of course on The Atonement Bell's Kickerstarter page.  Jim Ousley can be found on Twitter @JimOusley and Instagram @radio_jimbo.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, who will be too afraid to read this one.

X-Men. It’s the reason I started this podcast. It’s the comic series that people ask me about the most for coming on the show. And they just never disappoint because there are about a billion different reasons why people have gotten into them and why they love them. So what’s wrong with another look?

If you ask Kevin Newburn, nothing at all. Which is great because that would have made for a really awkward episode if he didn’t think that these mutants were worth another look.

A big thanks to Agents of C.O.M.I.C.B.O.O.K. and Chrises on Infinite Earths for the promos today.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, blah blah blah nobody reads this part anyway. I dare you to prove me wrong.

Well it’s been a nice run of bonus episodes, way more than I ever intended to run back to back to…. well you get the idea. So to get back to the regular episodes I feel like it’s best to go with on of my first loves, our friendly neighborhood wall crawler Spider-Man.

Good thing today’s guest David Gallaher likes Spider-Man too because otherwise this could have gotten weird. Not that it didn’t anyway but at least it’s the kind of weird that we’ve gotten used to on this show.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, who might one day get around to watching the 90s Spider-Man cartoon.

Pets are better than people. Nobody should be shocked to hear that from me. I make it no secret that I love my cats more than basically any human who could ever exist. And that when I’ve lost pets in the past it’s just wrecked me.

So on that happy note listen to Steve Orlando and Steve Foxe come on the show to talk about Rainbow Bridge, the story of a boy’s last adventure with his dog. And if that doesn’t hit you right in the feels then

This Episode is brought to you in part by AfterShock Comics since they are publishing the book and everything.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, who needs to go pet something. But then again, who doesn’t?

Kickstarter is the bane of my existence because so many cool things are rolling through there. It’s a good problem to have I guess.

But Chris Mancini and Fernando Pinto, those two are enablers. Why do they have to be making such a cool sounding comic? Why do they have to be good people on top of that? Why do they make it so easy for me to give them my money?

This Episode is brought to you in part by White Cat Entertainment, both because they created this comic and because they’re just a cool company anyway.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, who probably likes kung fu movies because he’s human.

The world just can’t get enough zombies. They’re everywhere. So let’s throw in dating at the same time. Let’s be real here, I’m not sure which is scarier.

Good thing we have Steve Urena here to help sort this stuff out. Listen in as we talk about his newest Kickstarter comic Zombie Date Night, which as of the publishing of this episode is fully funded and has just under 2 weeks left in the campaign for you to get in on the fun.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, who is probably a zombie but I’m too lazy to go find out for sure.

It all comes back to Spider-Man doesn’t it? There’s a good reason for that, he is one of Marvel’s premier characters for a reason. We’re just going to have a Spider-Man game for every console aren’t we?

Tune in this week as Aaron Weiss from Weisscast joins the show to help break down why Spider-Man gets so much love in the gaming sphere.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, who will see No Way Home in a safe way.

The best thing about supporting a cool story on Kickstarter is getting to go along for the ride over the course of the story’s lifetime. And that’s what we’re doing here in the first time we’re taking a second look at a Kickstarter storyline.

Tommy Jauregui comes by the show again to talk about the second chapter of his Endless Moons story. And hopefully convinces some of you to back the Endless Moons Kickstarter campaign.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, who also loves Zelda because who doesn’t?

Don’t get me wrong, I love super hero comics. But they’ve been around forever, and with that longevity comes a tie to the past that just can’t be ignored. No matter what anyone does with Superman or Hulk there’s always going to be someone complaining that a bit of the past is being ignored. Even if that piece of the past is deeply rooted in values and ideas that we don’t hold as a society anymore.

Which is one reason why I’m so excited to get to talk to Adam Gorham, artist for The Blue Flame, Vault’s first venture into superhero comics. Listen in as we talk starting a superhero universe and how even I have someone who wants me to draw. Time will tell if that opinion holds up.

This Episode is brought to you in part by Vault Comics since they are publishing the book and everything.

Intro/Outro Music by Best Day, who probably isn’t a superhero. But if he was I don’t think he’d tell you.

Sometimes I just get confused when it comes to localization decisions. Why can't we get the manga license with our games? Did they think we wouldn't like a plane based shooter because it had a comic with it that we didn't recognize?

Good thing that I have Steampunk Link and Emmy Zero from SNEScapades here to help straighten things up. Listen in as we try to solve this and other mysterious aspects of this early SNES era gem.
