I have been inspired to try reading Conan the Barbarian as my adopted character for the year. I have seen the cheezy movies but never read any of the comic books so I thought Conan would make a good choice. Keep up the good work on the podcasts.

I’ve decided to follow your lead, and am myself adopting a character for 2009: the Legion of Super-Heroes. I have done my best to avoid them for nearly my entire 30 years of reading comics, so there is plenty for me to dive into. I have the first 2 Showcase LSH books in my To Be Read pile, with Vol 3 in the new Previews, IIRC. A buddy of mine has a long run at his house, so I may take a short box or two over and borrow quite liberally from him over this upcoming year. And as a bonus treat, I have last night’s ‘Smallville’ on my DVR to watch.

A great biography of Will Eisner is “A Spirited Life” by Bob Andelman, published by Dark Horse. I went to his panel at the 2006 MegaCon in Orlando and finally bought it the next year. It gives a good overview of Eisner’s varied career and full life.

Joseph,
Thx. I see it now. Looks like Diamond did a bit of a redesign, too.

Previews’ website does currently have the Shipping Updates in the left column. They may have only updated it after your recording.

Keep up the great work!
