This week marks a special week in the world of comic books and podcasting, along with several other shows, the CCL is covering Diamond Distribution and the Direct Market. All of the participating podcasts are focusing on this one very important and often understood (or misrepresented) company and system. For my part, I went on location to Detroit Comics and sat down with owner Brian Kelly to talk about what it takes to open a new comic book store including the good and bad and his relationship with Diamond. I want to thank Brian for being so candid in his assessment. I found it to be insightful, straight forward and honest. To find a listing of all the other shows and their exact take, please visit our unofficial host, Comics Related.
Also in this week’s installment, I give a quick rundown of some books scheduled to be coming out in August and throughout the 4th Quarter and even some DC Comics Collected Editions for 2009 which includes a Deluxe Hardcover of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing.
Lastly, I want to congratulate Jeffery Grill of Miami, FL who won the Annihilation Conquest Book 1 giveaway contest. My oversight is his advantage. All this and the New Releases of the Week.

The Motor City Con has come and gone and today on the show I go over what I saw, what I bought and who I met. With all that in mind, I have a brand new giveaway of Annihilation Conquest Book 1 HC; details on how to enter are in the show.
Also, today I go over some major Marvel shipping changes and new solicitations from both DC and Marvel. I also have an e-mail from Joe, Forbidden Planet International, introduce you to two new collected edition themed podcasts and give a tease as to what you can expect on the next TwoMorrows Tune-In, all this and the New Releases of the Week.

Alleged comic-book killer found guilty
Michael George has been found guilty. It has now sunk in that I used to shop at his store as a kid. It sure is a weird feeling. I guess I’ll ponder it for the night and blog more on Tuesday morning.
The Release Schedule has been fully updated with what is coming out this Wednesday and the latest DC and Dark Horse solicitations.
Comic Book Blog browsing on a Tuesday evening
I’m off to the all important monthly Detroit Podcasters Network meet-up tonight. Where we’ll ponder the question,”What beers do you have on tap”? In all seriousness, the gatherings are a lot of fun and very much laid back. If you are anywhere near Detroit on the final Tuesday of any month come on by and hang out. Just check our official website to see where we’ll be. Good times and better company. On with today’s links:
- The guys at the Collected Editions blog get serious. DC Hardcovers are the topic at hand and they are fed up. And be sure to bookmark their site, new reviews are being posted all the time.
- Go Read: John Mayo, Comic Book Resources and Comic Book Page Podcast, on Sales Estimates For December, 2007 Books
- If you think that DC and Marvel are the only ones making giant collected editions get ready for the Manga version. Kevin Melrose, Blog@Newsarama, delves into the upcoming segment.
- Go Vote: Tom Brevoort and The Golden Loebs! Sounds like a Holiday Inn band. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
- Sometimes things just go right and it makes you smile. Bob Greenberger reports that the new Chuck Dixon and Rick Burchett web comic Heroes Happen Here has launched. I’m not into web comics at all, but I’ll be reading this one everyday.
- Review: Michael May, Blog@Newsarama, on Astronaut Dad, Volume 1. I really have to pick up this book.

Today’s show is all news all the time. San Diego news, of course, because this past week, that’s all there is. And lots of good news, too. Sure there is the usual “huh”? like the Complete Youngblood, but some cool tidbits like the old Marvel run of Indiana Jones. All the links can be found in the (July 26th) post below.
This past Monday was also the Detroit Podcasts Monthly Meet-Up. We had it in Ferndale and while there, I strolled down to a new comic store - Detroit Comics. I think it’ll be my LCS. I also go over the Podcast Awards and I have a new Question of the Month. Lastly I go over a very light Release Schedule.
