Podcast Notes after the jump.
Notes :
[5:23]
Stay tune for the newest chapter in a series of reenactments of the History of Marvel Universe. All the Blue Moon scenes were shot on location in Bulgaria.
[9:30]
Chris is revealed to be in Chocolate City lobbying for FBB’s continued right to call itself the official podcast of the 2008 election. Here is our nod for VP.
[12:10]
This blog loves David Lapham, I mean Stray Bullets writer David Lapham, but this week he released another non-Stray Bullets book. On a scale of Tales of the Unexpected to City of Crime, where does it fit?
[25:10]
Echo looks balling, but is it ballin’? Moore is still a layout master, though.
[35:30]
An excerpt from the New Frontier Justice League promotion comic for some movie, read by Joseph Mastantouno. Jamaal and Pedro follow with the hate.
[47:30]
Pedro Tejeda does not support either of these gentlemen’s opinion of how awesome 100 Bullets may or not be.
[51:40]
Joss Whedon out fucking Geoff Johnsed Geoff Johns? This is what you get for liking Joss Whedon’s comics. It’s kind of hard to turn Geoff Johns into a verb. Geoff Johnsing?
[55:00]
Jamaal’s synopsis of X-Force - “STAB, Bastion Purple Diamond in the Back, STAB, Racist Robots, Clive Owen, STABBY, Indian Feather Stabby, STAB, Wolverine is the only HOPE for this team, STAB, Scott Cheney, Stab, Angsty Stabby, STABBY, Wolverine-you-can-jerk-off-to-Stabby, Stabby, The lack of blood on this cover is going to drive children to kill others.”
[64:20] FBB style-o-philes , order the New Yorker to get your monocle and top hat for the con and check out the Chabon audio while you’re there.
[70:50] Superhero Comics Rule #4080: Evil Superman is not allowed to wear a cape. This rule applies for Black Adam also.
[79:13] MY NAME IS MY NAME! Pedro Tejeda.
PS: We just realized we’ve been at this for over a year. Happy birthday to us.
Bastion is actually Nimrod, the superbadass sentinel from the future combined with Master Mold, the supercomputer who was going to kill the Twelve.
This is something I was aware of but didn’t want to say out loud because of how insane this entire concept is.
It also reduces your cool points if you know this. But the issue they both got pulled into the Siege Perilous was pretty rockin’.
I think it was Jamaal? in this podcast who made the comparison between X-23 and every character ever played by Summer Glau, and holy shit, that is so spot-on. It’s exactly that combination of hot nerd-bait and out-and-out creepiness.
