Weird Twits
It's weird when a chain of unrelated tweets on Twitter seems to be related, for example:
Person 1: How to make sure your Thai food is as spicy as it's supposed to be. http://ow.ly/YJwf
Person 2: and...boom goes the dynamite.
Person 1: My head is pounding for some reason.
Person 3: Looks like we're goin' to Qboba tonight!
Person 2: Feast of fools
Person 4: I frown on restaurants that don't take reservations. It's an insult to the dining public.
And none of these were replies, or even related to one another. Hah! Funny (to me at least)

More on Podcasts
Back to Podcasts, if you're not into comics (gasp) but are into music, I'd recommend my favorite Rock podcast, the Rock Dungeon. Hosted by Heath and Michael, the show covers music news, music reviews, and indepth coverage of select bands and band histories. Earlier episodes were actually dedicated to specific bands (one per show), but more recently the guys have been covering more ground each episode. Take a look at the earlier shows to see if there's a band they cover that you are into - the shows are really good. I highly recommend the Dio episode.
What I like most about the show is the humour and personalities of the hosts. They are regular guys, one bringing the humour, one bringing the knowledge (not that the others are lacking in each area, rather, each brings specific talents to the table). So this comes highly recommended. If you like rock, or metal, give it a try.
The bands covered tend to range from harder to more hair band stuff. Typically they play a couple bands I like, and a couple I don't, but that's actually a pretty good ratio for me. Plus I've discovered some new bands (like Rainbow) I now love, so even if the hosts sucked, it would still be worth it. Actually, that's not true, I've heard some other podcasts that I've stopped listening to 5 minutes in because the hosts were awful, good music or no.
But the Rock Dungeon does not suck, quite the opposite. It is the real deal, give it a try!

Feb 2009 Previews Comic Picks
Here are my picks for Feb 2009; the comics I am planning on pre-ordering from the Preview catalog for comics shipping in April.
ACE-FACE MOD WITH METAL ARMS GN – I love Mike Dawson’s stuff, like his auto-bio Freddie and Me, so I have no doubt this will rock.
BAYOU TP VOL 01 – I’m not much for online comics, except for the ability to check things out before buying them in hard copy form, so that, predictably, is what I did with this one. I read the first chapter, and wow, it was good. I love the art.
CARS ROOKIE #2 (OF 4) – For my daughter
CEREBUS ARCHIVE #1 – Super excited for this one; Back history of Cerebus. Kind of like After Cerebus, but with more early art and archival content.
ELEPHANTMEN #18 – Resolicited, this is a must get – Marian Churchland art in this 3 parter. She even colored the whole thing herself with markers. Looks awesome.
HARKER #2 – I’m giving this one a shot; hopefully is doesn’t get cut by Diamond half way through…
HOTWIRE #3 (OF 5) – From the creator of Sharkman!
IGNITION CITY #1 (OF 5) – New Ellis story. I usually get the #1’s of these to check them out.
IRREDEEMABLE #1 – Super hero turns villain by Mark Waid, worth checking out.
LITERALS #1 – Dunno about this one, a 9 part Fables\Literals\Jack crossover – hopefully they’ll put them all in trade.
NANA TP VOL 16 – Still my favorite manga.
NIGHT SCHOOL GN VOL 01 – Yay! From the creator of Dramacon! About a school for “vampires, demons, and weirns, a special breed of witches”. Dramacon was awesome, so I can’t wait for this. It was originally serialized in Yen-Plus magazine, and got great reviews. I’ll get all of Svetlana Chmakova stuff, she’s one of the creators I’ll automatically collect everything she does.
OZ WONDERLAND CHRONICLES JACK & CAT TALES #1 – Re-offered. I’ve only read the special they did, but I loved it, so I’m picking up any of these series.
RESURRECTION TP VOL 01 – I read the first issue and enjoyed it. The story takes place in a world after the alien invaders leave and humanity has to clean up the pieces and rebuilt. Plus, it’s only 6 bucks!!!
SI AFTERMATH BETA RAY BILL GREEN OF EDEN #1 – Dude, Beta Ray Bill and Dan Brereton art? Hah! Just inject it into my eyes please.
SUPER HUMAN RESOURCES #3 (OF 4) – Continuing the series about an office of Super Heroes.
WARLORD #1 – Written, but not drawn by Mike Grell.
WOLVERINE WEAPON X #1 – Jason Aaron Wolverine. Sounds good to me.

Podcasts
Over the last 3 years, I've taken to listening to comic podcasts quite regularly. I have been listening to talk radio here in Chicago for many years, ever since moving here in '88 and first hearing Steve Dahl and Garry Meier, so making the jump to podcasts wasn't that far a leap.
The first comic podcast I started listening to regularly, and one I still listen to, is Comic Geek Speak. They are one of the bigger comic podcasts, and have what seems to be a sizable audience; large enough in fact to support an annual convention\gathering in PA. Being into independant comics, another I listen to one regularly is one specialized in that area - Indie Spinner Rack.
Earlier this year, I started listening to another show, which has rapidly become one of, if not my favorite podcast, Geek Brunch. It follows what I find to be a unique and interesting format... for *most* shows, the two hosts, Heath and Mike, have on a guest host. They each talk about the lastest things they have been reading, watching, and eating. So the conversation, in each area, is a combination of review, humor, and general discussion. Essentially, a discussion of all things geeky, or at least, all things geeky in the areas of comics, tv, movies, and food.
One of the things I like about the show is the attitudes of the hosts; both are into the fun of comics, and geeky things, and their love of the medium shines through in each episode.
Each show I've mentioned also has a great forum community at the Comic Forums. Typically, the guests on Geek Brunch come from their forum, which brings me to the main reason I'm writing this, I am happy to announce I recently made my podcast debut on episide 76 of the Geek Brunch podcast. So if you are interested in hearing me ramble about what I love, give it a shot. It was an interesting experience, and something I plan to do again. I only hope the listeners enjoy it as much as I... probably not, but that's ok too.

September 2008 Previews comic picks
Kind of a slow month, but some good stufF:
2008 Comic Geek Speak Listener Anthology – I’m a big CGS fan (comicgeekspeak podcast), so I suppose these greatly.
DARKNESS TP VOL 01 ACCURSED – I enjoyed the couple of issues of this that I read, plus this is super cheap! Easy pick.
GOBLIN CHRONICLES TP VOL 01 – I enjoyed this fun little series about a goblin kid charged with saving the world, along with 3 other kids of various species. Nice art.
GREATEST AMERICAN HERO #1 (OF 6) – Oh yeah.
HALO & SPROCKET TP VOL 02 NATURAL CREATURES – Loved the first trade, definitely check it out if you see it, read the first few pages and you’ll be hooked. This is about a robot and an angel living with a female human, and the different ways they view the world. Fun discussions between the 3.
HEADLOCKED TRYOUT #2 (OF 3) – Haven’t got #1 yet, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy this based on the original one-shot.
HULK #8 – Art Adams, woo!
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #27 SIGHTINGS – Milestone!
OZ WONDERLAND CHRONICLES JACK & CAT TALES #1 – I’m an Oz sucker, and loved the special, so I’m all in with this series.
SANDMAN DREAM HUNTERS #1 (OF 4) – I’m probably get the trade if this is any good, Sandman was my favorite series back when it was coming out.
SRG PRESENTS WOLVES OF ODIN ONE SHOT – Vikings vs. Werewolves, with awesome looking art.
FARSCAPE #1 – I was going to trade wait, but I love Farscape, so I’ll get it now.
GAUZE #1 – About a killer presuming a girl, this intrigues me enough to check it out.

King City V2
So with the shakeup at Tokyopop, it looks like King City v2 might not get printed by them. If that does not happen, someone else better bring it out. v1 was my favorite book of 2007, and I can't wait to hold v2 (which, acc to Brandon, will be even bigger that planned.)
In the meantime, Brandon has put the first 12 pages online; yay!!!! But seriously, I need this thing in my hands!
Actually, I also need to buy another copy of v1 since my copy is worn from over reading :)
And one down note
One down note to the Tokyopop hardcovers -- because of issues between Ross Campbell and Tokyopop, Ross' series Abandoned won't be going any further, which means no V2 or 3, and no nice big oversized hardcover full of Ross' great art and story. :(

July 2008 Comic Previews Picks
Wow, this month is too amazing. I’m way over budget, but there isn’t much I can cut! 4 Hardcovers, ak!
ARCHER & ARMSTRONG FIRST IMPRESSIONS HC – This was my favorite Valiant series, I’ve been hoping this would be coming out soon. Gotta love BWS.
COMIC FOUNDRY MAGAZINE FALL 2008
CROGANS VENGEANCE GN – Chris Schweizer is a regular on the Indie Spinner Rack forum, and this looks great. Chris has a real fun style. Preview
DARK IVORY #4 (OF 4) – I’m digging this one a lot.
DRAMACON ULTIMATE ED HC – Ah! Another must get Tokyopop HC! What are they trying to do to me? Dramacon is a must get, even though I have the trades. It’s about a young girl in artists alley at an Anime convention, selling her mini-comic. It really captures what it’s like being at a con. It starts at her 1st year (and her 1st con experience), and each volume is a consecutive year. Comics, insider jokes, and of course romance; hence the title. I’m a sucker for manga romance, so that and geek culture and there’s no getting me back. Can’t wait.
GLAMOURPUSS #3
GREATEST HITS #1 (OF 6) – This looks awesome.
LAGOON HC – Lilli Carre! I loves Tales of Woodsman Pete, so this is a no brainer.
PUNK ROCK & TRAILER PARKS GN – By Derf. I loved his Dahlmer book, and I love punk rock, so there you go.
RASL #3 – Love this too.
ROBERTS #2 (OF 2) – Worth a shot I guess.
SECRET SIX #1
TEZUKAS BLACK JACK PX HC VOL 01 – Love me some Tezuka! Preview
TOKEN – JOELLE JONES!!!!!! Must get. Joelle’s art is all kinds of awesome. There’s a pre-grey toned preview on her blog
WASTELAND #20 – Another stand alone I think.
INDIE SPOTLIGHT THE MAXX AF – Heh. Ok, maybe I could cut this.
WOLVERINE FIRST CLASS #7 – Golden art? Ok!
OMEGA THE UNKNOWN PREM HC – Yay! Been hoping for a nice HC. Too bad it’s not oversized.
BONE HALLOWEEN MINI COMIC BUNDLE 2008 – I’m so excited to share the love this Halloween!
COWA! HALLOWEEN MINI COMIC BUNDLE 2008 – And one for the younger kiddies.

WOLVERINE FIRST CLASS #7 – Golden art? Ok!
OMEGA THE UNKNOWN PREM HC – Yay! Been hoping for a nice HC. Too bad it’s not oversized.
BONE HALLOWEEN MINI COMIC BUNDLE 2008 – I’m so excited to share the love this Halloween!
COWA! HALLOWEEN MINI COMIC BUNDLE 2008 – And one for the younger kiddies.

July Previews Picks
Some good stuff this month; 3 oversized Hardcovers!
AIR #1 - New Vertigo series, gonna check it out since Vertigo rarely disappoints.
BOYS CLUB #1 – Not sure how to describe this one, but it looked interesting, and got some good reviews. Teenage monsters Andy, Brett, Landwolf, and Pepe are always 'drinkin', stinkin', and never thinkin'.' These four best friends spend their day-to-day lives together playing Nintendo, eating pizza, and having the occasional psychedelic metamorphosis.
GOLLY #1 – Phil Hester book with Satan working at a sideshow. I picked this the first time is was solicited… hope it comes out this time!
I LUV HALLOWEEN ULTIMATE TWISTED ED – Oversized (for a manga) HC of this very strange Keith Giffen, Ben Roman series. Now in color, which should be good, judging from Ben’s color are on Cryptics.
INVINCIBLE HC VOL 04 ULTIMATE COLL – Love these.
LOCAL HC – Was waiting for this collection. The HC is oversized, and has a bunch of extras, so I’ll get it in this format.
NANA TP VOL 12 – Yay!
ROBERTS #1 (OF 2) – Gonna try this one, since the preview in Previews looked good. The Boston Strangler and the Zodiac Killer are alive and well, living amongst the old and dying of The Shady Lane Retirement Center.
RUNAWAYS 3 #1 – Terry Moore and Humberto Ramos. Sold!
SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE SEASON 2 #1 – Terry Moore and t Craig Rousseau (The Perhapanauts). Sold!

March 2008 Comic Previews Picks
March 2008 Preview Picks. Nice selection this month, going to be hard to stay at my limit, shucks ;)
ANGEL REVELATIONS #1 (OF 5) – I’m a fan of Angel back from my X-Factor days, so this origin series definitely interests me.
BATMAN GOTHAM AFTER MIDNITE #1 – Will probably get this, Steve Niles and Kelley Jones art, which looks rad.
BODY COUNT SC – Trade of the Image TMNT series by Eastman and Biz; not sure, I’ve been meaning to check this out. Plus I think it’s oversized.
DEAN KOONTZS FRANKENSTEIN VOL 01 #1 (OF 5) PRODIGAL SON – I used to read Koontz books back in college, so I don’t think I can pass this up.
IN ODD WE TRUST GN – Ditto this. One of these is written by Koontz as well. Nice.
DEMO TP – Read one issue of this and liked it; was waiting for the collection.
HOUSE OF MYSTERY #1 – Love new Vertigo stuff.
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1 – Iron Man + Fraction, I’ll bite.
JOHNNY DYNAMITE TP – New print of Max Allen Collins and Terry Beatty trade; I guess this doesn’t have the red ink that the original series had.
JUDENHASS GN – New Dave Sim book on the holocaust. No brainer.
PROOF TP VOL 01 GOATSUCKER – I wasn’t blown away by the first issues, but I’m interested in seeing where this went. Pretty cheap, so why not. I think I was just put off bit by the first one, since I am a skeptic and don’t believe in this monsters stuff. But, I can suspend my disbelief when if comes to fiction, and since the “monsters are real?” stuff was in the back matter, that most likely won’t be in the trade I should enjoy this more. Hm, liking the trade because it does not have back matter, heh.
RUNNERS BIG SNOW JOB #1 (OF 6) – New Runners series, this time in color! Great! I really liked the first series, and color really suits this stuff, from what I’ve seen. Can’t wait.
SKYSCRAPERS O/T MIDWEST HC – Yes, wasn’t expecting this, and a nice HC even, great!
UMBRELLA ACADEMY APOCALYPSE SUITE TP -
This blew everyone away, so I have to get this.
USAGI YOJIMBO TP VOL 22 TOMOES STORY – I sporadically get the Usagi trades, but I’ll definitely pick this one up due to the inclusion of the Usagi Yojimbo Color Specials #1-3, which, as no one knows, contain Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy stories! I loved their special in the 80’s, and I’ve been meaning to pick up the color specials for this reason. One of the Usagi issues in this has been called the best Usagi story ever, so this should be a good package.
WOLVERINE AMAZING IMMORTAL MAN BLOODY TALES – Written by David Lapham, not sure on this yet. Still need to read his last Wolverine tale.
X-MEN ORIGIN COLOSSUS – Ah, Colossus, another favorite. Gimme!
ANGEL REVELATIONS #1 (OF 5) – I’m a fan of Angel back from my X-Factor days, so this origin series definitely interests me.
BATMAN GOTHAM AFTER MIDNITE #1 – Will probably get this, Steve Niles and Kelley Jones art, which looks rad.

Punisher sketch
While it's true I'm mostly and indie guy, I have a love for some super heros from my youth. One such love is for the Punisher, based on the Zeck covers, and the amazing Janson run.
So now, whenever I get a sketch, I typically like to get the Punisher.
Recently DCBS has been offering, or rather, artists have been offering, through DCBS, free sketchs with the purchase of some items. A while back, one such item was the new Horrorwood trade by BRANDON TERRELL & BRENT SCHOONOVER. I asked Brent for a Punisher, and got a doozy.
Thanks Brent, can't wait to read the trade (actually trades, since I haven't had a chance to read Astronaut Dad yet.)

Feb 2008 Comic Previews Picks
Time again for my comic pick from the Feb issue of Previews (and time again for a post apprarantly, since this is all I seem to be able to post these days).
Pretty good month, although deceptive. At first glance not a lot, but man it adds up quick!
Pick of the Month:
WATER BABY – Finally!!! This was supposed to come out last year, but kept getting delayed. What is this? It’s Ross Campbell’s new book, for Minx. New Ross Campbell is always a cause for celebration. See Wet Moon, and the awesome zombie tale, Abandoned.
Zee rest:
FABLES TP VOL 10 THE GOOD PRINCE – Need to catch up on reading these, but no doubt worth getting.
GLAMOURPUSS #1 – Dave Sims return to comics (besides Following Cerebus); I enjoy Following Cerebus, and am interested in seeing what this new book is about - hard to tell from the solicitations and website; could go many different ways, knowing Sim.
GNOME ONE SHOT – Preview at http://www.superrealgraphics.com; looks interesting, and is a cheap 1 shot. Free sketch thru DBCS!
GOBLIN CHRONICLES #3 (OF 3) – Completing the series
GREEN LANTERN TALES OF THE SINESTRO CORPS HC – Not sure on this one; might wait for the SC, or Absolute, or something.
GUNPLAY GN – Winner of Comic Book Challenge, preview was solicited last month; might wait until I read that. I think this was originally going to be a mini-series, interesting that they went straight for the trade. Actually, this is close to my preferred way of doing it – gimme a cheap preview, so I can check it out, then the trade. I’d rather the solicitation for the trade come out after the preview is released, but I understand the back to back releases for the stores.
INJURY COMICS #2 – Liked the first issue, from the pot story to Heracles, nice stuff.
NANA TP VOL 10 – Always happy to see another volume of this.
NOVA #12– The return of Warlock from New Mutants! I LOVE Warlock! Yay!
PUNISHER PREM HC CIRCLE OF BLOOD – This series first came out back when I was first starting to really get into comics. This was THE series to get, what with the awesome Zeck covers (which also became the Posters to get); I’m thrilled to be able to own this in a nice HC.
SAND CHRONICLES GN VOL 02 – Still need to read V1.
SUPERMAN WORLD OF KRYPTON TP – Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere. This collects the Byrne WOK mini-series, which I liked, and some WOK backup stories. Not sure about this one.
THOREAU AT WALDEN SC – John Porcellino book about Thoreau writing Walden, I think with all quotes from Walden. I like Thoreau, and I’ve been meaning to check out Porcellino, so I’ll probably get this.
X-O MANOWAR BIRTH HC – I’m pretty much guaranteed to get all of these Valiant HC’s, since I was a big fan. But where’s the Archer and Armstrong? Come on guys! Oh, and glad to hear the legal stuff regarding Valiant has been resolved.
Pretty good month, although deceptive. At first glance not a lot, but man it adds up quick!
