We Talk Comics

Paul O’Connor AKA The Longbox Graveyard hits the air once again with a show that manages to both get you up to date on everything happening in his blog (http://longboxgraveyard.com/) as well as share some opinions on the latest Christopher Nolan Batman epic, plus a few other films as well and what they tend to become to those emotionally involved in them.

As usual with an LBG Podcast all is not what it seems as there’s so much more below the surface of this episode than 1st appears, and in many ways this may end up being the most RAW and deeply personal podcast Longbox Graveyard has given us yet, as well as being a lot of fun to hear.

So, what does We Talk Comics have in common with obscure mid 80’s Marvel text adventures for the Commodore 64 also published as comic book tie ins? Not a hell of a lot really. But it’s a great title for a show featuring each of the 4 hosts Brett, Keith, Chris & Mo bringing a bunch of questions to fire at each other in rapid fashion looking for quick informative or hilarious answers.

All this plus The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K (sponsored by COMICOSITY), the Famous WTC WeViews of Indestructible Hulk # 1, Captain America # 1, from Image Clone # 1 and Comeback # 1, plus an obscure little book causing a bit of a stir called Amazing Spider-Man # 698.

Plus a quick word on Fantastic Four # 1 from last week, and a live on air drawing for the WTC Secret Santa Storyline exchange, so if your here for the 1st time or the 58th welcome, and be sure to also visit The Comic Podcast Network

(Warning Explicit Content – This Podcast contains a New Yorker)  Hot Damn folks! It’s that time again as your We Talk Podcasts host Mo once again comes together with The King Of The Night Train aka The King Of The Con aka The Most Dangerous Man In Comics… Joe M’Fing Mulvey, creator of Scam (http://whatsthescam.net/ or @JoeMulv ) from the hottest independent publisher on the planet ComixTribe (http://www.comixtribe.com/ ).

So much goes on in this show as Joe starts it off by telling Mo about his experiences during and after Superstorm Sandy. Then they parlay that into a massive and fascinating talk of the American Election. Great stuff here as Joe’s a real political junkie. Finally we finish with some serious comic talk as Joe confronts Mo’s We Talk Comics co-host Chris Beck who’s been some what critical of Joe’s book Scam. Some great debate and points made by both side’s here and an awful lot of fun and laughs too, so listening to this episode is mandatory, as is letting others know about it through the social media share buttons, and thanks to everyone out there.

Joe Mulvey along with fellow ComixTribe members Tyler James, John Lees, Cesar Feliciano at The New York Comic Con
