Comic Geek Speak Podcast - The Best Comic Book Podcast

What were the best books of the year? Wizard released their list, and we begin thinking about ours. Also some Off the Racks and more Black Friday stories.

It came out of nowhere in the early 70s, and it made a lasting impression on many people. Loyal listener Stewart MacWilliam (a.k.a. Wet Rats) joins us to discuss the series that made him a comic collector, Manhunter by Archie Goodwin and Walter Simonson. Also stopping in to give his thoughts on the series is the penciller himself, the great Walter Simonson.

It's Christmas shopping season baby, and every geek wants lots of geeky stuff under their tree. So hand this episode off to your non-geek gift buyers, and we'll help them get you the best gifts possible.

Can you name all of the Legion worlds in alphabetical order? Neither can we, but we brought a second Peter into the room to help us with our Legion of Superheroes Spotlight episode. Be prepared for loads of Legion lore as two Peters are always better than one.

Special in-studio guest on today's episode. Artist Freddie Williams II joins us along with fan-favorite Chuck Satterlee. No interviews, just comic talk with the guys.

As we begin our bold march towards episode 300, we take a moment to reflect on the events surrounding episode 200. Beware the Rios puppet!

The first half of Marvel's big cosmic event is over and done with. The guys examine the first three issues and talk about what's happened and where it's going.

It's finally here, the big 200! If you couldn't make it down for the big celebration, hopefully listening in will help you feel like you were a part of things.

Another month, more trade numbers. Chris and John, take it away!

It's Previews time again, and of course that means it's also time for a look at the numbers with the Mayo Report. And we know it's your favorite episode, so we made a doozy, clocking it at almost two hours.

52 is half over. Find out what's going on. Lots of discussion. Nuff said.

The next con coming down the pike is Mid Ohio Con. We check in with Roger Price, the organizer for the event. Then we launch into some good discussions, including some more talk about waiting for the trade, and a whole bunch of tv talk. Just what are the geeks watching?

There's always something that was first. Find out how Lone Wolf & Cub, Japan's premiere comic, layed the foundation for so much American comic goodness. Join us as we explore the first two volumes of this ground-breaking series.

Ape Entertainment just keeps putting out great books. Greg Waller is the man responsible for Magnitude, Ape's new superhero offering. He checks in and gives us the scoop. We also talk to animation master Tad Stones again and review the new Hellboy animated film.

It's been a while since we checked in with Uncle Sal so we decided to call him up. Let the good times roll! We also spoke with Randy Gentile about his new webcomic Randall.

The world of fandom is so much better today than it ever has been before. TwoMorrows publishing is largely responsible for that. We spoke with John Morrow and Chris Irving from TwoMorrows. They gave us the scoop on many of the upcoming TwoMorrows products. Also, we have possibly the best Stump the Rios ever!

Inkers don't get any love. Well, we are doing our best to disprove that theory. On today's show we welcome inker Drew Geraci. He's currently working on DC's 52 and he's quite happy. Plus he has a few convention stories to share as well.

The Hulk isn't as one-dimensional as you might think. In this episode we do a spotlight on Marvel's Incredible Hulk. From his dim-witted beginnings to his multiple personalities, we discuss it all.

We check in with the creative team on Black Coat, and then it's on to animation. We take a look at the upcoming Hellboy animated feature and then discuss our favorite animated movies.

Chuck's back in the studio for more crazy fun. We bring back the Dialing up Chuck segment as we cold call some of Chuck's contacts in the industry. Look out for more crazy convention stories.
