As promised, here is the Comics Podcast Panel from Wizard World Chicago 2008. The panel was moderated by Eisner Award winning writer Sean McKeever, and included myself, Brian Salazar of Around Comics, Vince Bonavoglia of 11 O’Clock Comics, Scott Cederlund of Wednesday’s Haul, John Siuntres of Wordballoon, Stevie D. of Comic Book Queers, Steven Schuler of Alter Ego, and Sean Whelan of Raging Bullets. If you weren’t able to attend the convention or the panel, here’s your chance to hear what eight of comics Podcasting’s finest have to say about the medium. Besides the people from above I want to thank Chris Neseman (Around Comics) for putting the whole deal together.
I also had a chance to meet (some for the first time) some really cool people; Professionals: Mike Norton, Dave Wachter, Skottie Young, Greg Rucka, Pat Loika; and friends of the show: Mark Ross (Cluck Trent) and Matt Kramer (Darth Kramer). I was only there for a few hours on Friday, so I would have liked to have met many more people, perhaps next year. I’ll be going over more of my experiences including the incredible deals that I got. for this week’s podcast due out Wednesday.

This week on the show I give a full rundown of the DC Comics January/1Q 2009 Collected Editions. I blogged about this a few days ago and I have yet to come up with a source for the list so take it with a grain (or chunk) of salt.
Also on the show I do a little eBay Sold Searching and you won’t believe just what are hot commodities and the final sold prices for the books.
Have an email question regarding what to do with damaged books that are bought at conventions; news on a brand new cool Prince Valiant retrospective; and is anyone buying the Marvel Illustrated books?
All this including the New Releases of the Week, what’s coming up on the next TwoMorrows Tune-In Podcast and a Kick-Ass (#1-2) giveaway - find out how to enter on the show.

CCL on Comic Book Page: Mayo Report: April 2008 Collected Edition Sale Estimates [62:46m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadCollected Edition Blog browsing on a Friday afternoon
After an unexpected vacation (of sorts) I’m back.
Here’s what all went down: I was planning on posting a usual “Collected Edition Blog browsing on a…” well, Sunday night, but we were rocked with thunderstorms, but not just any thunderstorms. Something called a Derecho, which has tornado like symptoms and was and basically be described as a wall of wind (80-100mph). It was 5:00pm when it hit. Patrick and I were inside a CVS drugstore picking up some water and chewing gum for his baseball game. As we walked in the sky was getting dark and I wasn’t sure if we were going to get the 6:00 game in – we knew that we would get wet and the game may be even delayed or called off. As we approached the cash register the lights in the building started to flicker and then BOOM! Thunder, lightning, torrential rain and the lights went black. Not knowing just how bad it was, we jumped in the car and drove a short distance to the ball field were the other coaches and players were. Along the way we saw several trees and power lines already down and flooding was starting to occur. The game was, of course, canceled and we started back for home. When we got there, the power was out all over the area and sirens from fire tucks, police and ambulances were blaring. By now the rain had let up and Patty and Erin were in the front porch accessing the damage, which wasn’t too much on my property considering what some of, my neighbors went through. Uprooted trees, smashed cars and damage to their homes. The whole ordeal was over in 20 minutes – that’s how quickly it came and went. You can see some pics on my Flickr page.
Now the real crappy part is that I have a residential generator and it was fried during the storm. When the storm hit, Patty says that our lights flickered and then the generator kicked on. About 5 minutes later a lighting hit tress and a few transformers and blown all around our subdivision and thus creating some sort of sonic boom and knocking the generator totally useless. I tried to work on it Monday and Tuesday calling people and getting parts, but it turned out to be no good. I think something is wrong with the ignition switch – at least that’s what Home Depot tells me. I’ve called my State Farm agent to make a claim on it.
We got power back on Wednesday night and everything seems to be back to normal. I really didn’t miss the TV or Internet much while I was down. I did have my Moto Q, so I was able to get e-mail and keep informed here and there. I would have liked to of done a podcast for Thursday, but nothing was truly prepared. And I had more clean up to do anyway. I’ll back on track for next week’s podcast. It will be my Incredible Hulk show. Should be a good one!
I was able to update the New Release List and all the Checklists just now. I see that I missed a lot in the news department while I was away so let’s get to it:
- Amazon is listing Secret Wars Omnibus (October) and Secret Wars II Omnibus (December). OK, I I can handle but II sucked big time!!!
- Fantagraphics publisher Gary Groth told us at Book Expo America that the company has acquired (or in one case, re-acquired) the rights to reprint two classic adventure strips with long and illustrious histories: Prince Valiant and Wash Tubbs & Captain Easy. Prince Valiant will be presented in an oversized color hardcover format, with two years per book, beginning in 2009. If you didn’t get these the first time around get them now! And I hope this paves the way to republish the old Tarzan Sundays and NBM did a while back.
- Star Wars.com has a slew of news: Obi-Wan and Luke get new books; you can build the The Ultimate Indiana Jones Bookshelf; and you can see the cover art to some of your favorite Star Wars novels - the Japanese editions! Part 1 Part 2 and Part 3
- What to learn how to write comics? Here’s the online course for you: Comic Book and Graphic Novel Writing. 4 weeks, June 16 - July 14 Chats Mondays, 9-10 pm ET $350.

- Marvel by way of their Masterworks site has announced that Fantastic Four Volume 11 (Variant Vol. 103) will be out September 17 and collect Fantastic Four #105-116 and Atlas Era Heroes Vol. 3 - Featuring Sub-Mariner and Human Torch (Variant Vol. 104) will be out September 24 and collect Sub-Mariner #33-42.

CCL Podcast #174 - Al Capp’s Complete Shmoo Archives
Collected Comics Library Podcast #174
44,768Kb; 37m 59s
http://www.collectedcomicslibrary.com/
I mentioned on last weeks show (#173) that sometime in the upcoming weeks I would be reviewing Al Capp’s Complete Shmoo: The Comic Books (Dark Horse Archives). That idea got the better of me and I decided, why wait? So I’m presenting it for you today. Let me start by saying that this book is truly exceptional. Readers of this blog and podcast know the value of a well packaged collected edition. This book sets a new standard as far as backups and extra features go. It is a solid lock for a place on the CCL Top 10 Books of the Year. Come listen and hear about all the goodness the Shmoos will bring you.
Secondly, I touch on two other great hardcovers that I received from DCBS on Monday: The Starman Omnibus and Jack Kirby’s OMAC. I was curious to know just exactly what is collected in these books and what sorts of extras are included. I share that information with you today, as well.
Not much in the way of news this week, but I did manage to find an interview Newsarama did with Dark Horse regarding their Archive program and the results from David Stepp’s DC Archive Survey are available. All this and the New Releases of the Week.
