April 28, 2016 Episode 289: Eisner Talk
With Mike on assignment this
week, Greg taps Multiversity Comics editor & frequent RFT guest
Brian Salvatore to sit in on this week's episode, taking a look at
the recent Eisner Award 2016 nominations. But while most of the
internet chatter has been about the nominees, Greg & Brian aim
this discussion at a slightly wider angle: do the 2016 Eisner
categories really reflect where comics find themselves in 2016?
Starting with a peek behind the proverbial curtain for
Multiversity's own "Year in Review" criteria & goals, the talk
goes wider to the North American comics awards landscape: Eisners,
Harveys, and Ignatz. Find out which company had a stranglehold on
the "Best Editor" Eisner for its entire run, what awards were given
during the 1970s, why we don't give out Kirby Awards, and how to
solve a problem like contradictory categories. All that, plus a
proposal for the Kim Thompson Award and more on today's
episode!

April 21, 2016 Strange Trailers, Young Animals and Street Angels
Another free-form discussion this week, but one kicked off by talk of the recently released Doctor Strange “teaser” trailer. How spot-on is Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme? Does Strange’s tenuous ties to superheroics make him less or more attractive as a property outside comics, given his difficulty in keeping an ongoing series? What about his “Strange Tales” co-stars Cloak & Dagger? With their possible movie from page to screen, what parts of their dynamic still work outside their early 80’s crime sensationalist origins? Lest you think this episode is all Marvel, the lads throw some consideration to DC’s announcement of Gerard Way’s ‘Young Animal’ imprint. And then Mike tells all about the bounty of Jim Rugg mini comics and special variants picked up. That last bit might sound like boring radio to the uninitiated, were it not for the fact that Jim Rugg is physically incapable of putting out ANYTHING that doesn't merit some discussion. All that, plus Greg gets quizzed on DC imprints throughout the ages, the name “Mr. Jyp” is used in context for the first time in who knows HOW many years, and the secret connection between Maya Lopez and Hank Hall is revealed!
