Screwed Up Comics

Hey hey SUComics gang - tonight I am set up with my gear in the living room with the OG Blade movie from 1998. This is *OBVIOUSLY* the greatest comic book-based movie ever, therefore, debating this is futile.

After talking about how incredible the opening scene was on my IG and Twitter (@ComicChives), I couldn't resist firing this film back up for what has to be a 100th+ play.

I will be watching the movie, pausing, and recording little segments. This could be a disaster, it could rule - let's find out together, shall we? In the end I thought to myself, "today is a good day, keep that vibe up." And so I wanted to make an episode that felt like a hangout. Hope y'all enjoy.

Make sure to give the show a 5-star review!

This episode gets into the vast amount of stories in the Marvel universe, and how much of it I felt compelled to cover before the major milestone of Hickman's Secret Wars. I believe the necessary amount of continuity is in the eye of the beholder, and that is a major point of focus.

If you enjoy the show, drop a 5 star review why! Enjoy the show!

Episode #4 of Screwed Up Comics goes into the business side of the comics hobby. In this part in particular, I discuss how creators taking promotion and marketing of their work into their own hands directly translates to more success for their upcoming release. Several examples are gone through, in terms of creators and promotional methods.

Episode #3 starts with some quick details on the upcoming giveaway before diving into the episode's topic! 

In this episode, I discuss the good and bad of reimagining existing characters as a means for inclusivity and diversity, as well as when these initiatives are applied to a new character(s). 

I plan on doing a series of episodes on speculating, and this is the first episode of that.

Lately speculation surrounding comic books has been at highs only seen during the 90's. With several new avenues to sell comics than back in the original bubble, book values have soared to highs that the market can't correct.

I talk about the things that are enabling comic speculation and how it is ultimately a downside for the hobby, as well as discuss when/what I enjoy about speculating and when I choose to do it - so it's not an episode made up of entirely trashing the resale market!

Episodes are still improving, and editing is difficult for a newcomer - bear with me and I promise things will sound better and better

Hey hey - Thanks for joining the show. The intro episode definitely sounds like the first episode of someone doing a podcast. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy my riffing and continue to come back as the show improves. 

First episode is mostly about what I hope the show to be, what I don't want it to be, and my journey as a comic fan.
