Robots From Tomorrow!

With new comics distribution still cattywampus and no new Previews catalog at time of recording, the lads decide to do some off-the-cuff podding.

Mike starts things off soliciting binding advice for his ideal Maxx collection. With so many options (Image run or IDW run? Mix & match? Multiple issue #1's? Separate book for spinoffs?), Greg has his work cut out for him. Not to be outdone, Greg asks for advice on his new Wacom tablet and taps a rich vein of insight on not only the device itself, but printing in general. Do you know what the K in CMYK stands for? Maybe you do, maybe you don't!

Listen to today's episode for not only all the above, but the hosts' thoughts on Marvel's Dawn of X titles, the absurdity of calling 1986 a Modern Age of anything, and much more!

Welcome to the All-New, All-Different Pull List Episodes!

With Diamond halting new comics distribution for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mike & Greg decided, rather than drop these episodes all-together, to just change up the format. So for this four hundred twenty-third installment of the Pull List series, the lads chose:

1) A previous year's Pull List choice.2) Something else pulled from their own collections.

There may not be new comics to choose from this week, but hopefully these new Pull List episodes give just as much food for thought in choosing what goes into your quarantine reading queue.

Stay safe and enjoy your funny books!

Anthologies are a great way to introduce new work, new creators, even new ideas to a readership. For part two of this survey anthology discussion, the lads go to America's attic with The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics by Blackbeard & Williams and then out on the mean streets with Paul Gravett's The Mammoth Book of Best Crime Comics. Come for the lowdown on these two wonderful comics primers; stay for tales of Blackbeard's comics treasures!

Anthologies are a great way to introduce new work, new creators, even new ideas to a readership. Mike and Greg spend the first half of this two-part book discussion looking at two anthologies whose mission statements are exactly that: Bell & Sinclair's Pictures and Words and the long-running Best American Comics series (2013 and 2019, to be precise). The lads breakdown why these works are excellent additions to any comic fan's bookshelf!
