MUSIC: Chinese Handcuffs by
The New Year

A few days late. I was in Chicago the past few days. But I did shop a cool little shop in Wilmette called The Comix Gallery. Check it out if you are in town.
Cool stuff in the way of new releases this week including the Golden Age
All-Winners Masterworks.
Collected Amazing Spider-Man from Newsarama.

Happy New Year!

Happy Festivus everyone! Today I go over the now resolved issue of the Golden Age Hawkman Archives and a few notables from Marvel that are coming out in March. I also want to let you know that all the PDF’s on the Release Schedule page have been updated. Please feel free to download updated copies for yourself.
Have a safe and enjoyable Holiday!
I hope to podcast again next Wednesday.

Yes, I’m a little late this week, but I have good reason. This show I sort of broke format and I’m all over the place. Including the intro by T-Rent

The Detroit Podcasters meeting was this week and we had a fantastic turnout from: Les, from Zaldor’s World, Matt from Digital Detroit Radio, Derek from Comic Book Noise, Buddy from The Buddy Culver Show, Dennis from WebAxe, Mikel OD from Most People are DJ’s,
Jasper from The Plan 9 Rock Show, Mama Acid from Bad Gals Radio, and Ron from MediaRica.

Also, there is a new Comics Crossover Podcast, that I invite you to check out, even though I’m not involved.

I have some cool Showcase Presents news:

I received confirmation from the editors at DC Comics and they have told me that come March, two new Showcase Presents books: Showcase Presents Superman Family collecting Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #1-22 and the Lois Lane solo story from Showcase #9 and Showcase Presents Teen Titans collecting The Brave and The Bold #54 and #60, Showcase #59, and Teen Titans #1-18. Funny thing is, I’ve know about the books since September, but I direct orders not to say anything until the confirmation.

I tease the Dark Horse Archives for an upcoming show and I review the DVD Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker.
