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.

As I wrote on Monday’s blog, I went to Chicago this past weekend and sat in with the guys from the Around Comics podcast. While I was there I picked up a few books. One shall remain nameless since I’ll be covering it for next week’s show and I don’t want to give anything away, the other two were Jeffery Brown’s Be A Man for only $3 and The Grendel Archives by Matt Wagner; which is what I feature for today’s show. Like I say in the podcast, there is so much to the history and mythology of the character(s) that I can’t do it justice. But I can go over, in detail, all the collected editions that have been published throughout the years and some upcoming books, too.
Also covered in the show is some podcasting news at this weekends Wonder-Con, shipping updates for upcoming books, TwoMorrows Publishing’s Press release on discounting their entire catalog and finally, The New Releases of the Week.

Tuesday afternoon, I was able to sit down and record the latest episode. I’m glad I was able to then, because I feel a whole lot worse now. I have a sore throat and my head is spinning a bit. I’m going to take it easy after I upload everything, and sit down and watch Roger Clemens at the The House Oversight & Govt. Reform Committee hearing on the use of performance enhancing substances by major league baseball players. It may make my head spin even more. Either way it’s better then shoveling snow.
For the Feature today, I go over EC Archives:Two Fisted Tales Volumes 1 and 2. Like many of you, I was confused as to what kind of stories are told in the pages of this comic. Today I sort it all out for you. Also on the show today, I talk about some late books and some revised shipping dates and a bit on Steve Gerber (Howard the Duck). Lastly, have a nice e-mail from Glenn and I go over The New Releases of the Week.
