Comic Geek Speak Podcast - The Best Comic Book Podcast

This month, DC 'occupies' Off the Racks with not one, but two selections, The Movement #1 and The Green Team: Teen Trillionaires #1, flanked by Battlestar Galactica #1 from Dynamite Entertainment. (1:08:14)

Superman is back on the big screen in a big way, and having borne witness to the super-spectacle, a group of Geeks (including lost son of CGS Kevin Moyer!) share their impressions of 'Man of Steel.' Listen as we train our heat vision on the cast of characters, the new costume, the narrative structure, the somber tone, the already infamous Superman/Zod climactic clash, and a host of other topics relating to the blockbuster film. (1:20:18)

Pants moderated the Spotlight on Gerry Conway panel at the recent Denver Comic Con which we present for you here. Mr. Conway discusses how he started working in comics at DC, moving over to Marvel and working on Spider-Man, his brief tenure as Editor in Chief at Marvel, going back to DC Comics and more. (51:03)

The repercussions of what Wolverine did at the end of Age of Ultron issue 6 are dealt with in the next three issues of the series. We go over issues 7 to 9 of Age of Ultron and discuss what it all means as the story heads towards its conclusion. (48:19)

Pants traveled down to Charlotte, NC for Heroes Con this past weekend and did several interviews. Listen to talks with Vivek Tiwary writer of the upcoming Dark Horse book 'The Fifth Beatle', Buzz, Eric Nolen-Weathington from TwoMorrows Publishing, Jeremy Whitley from Action Lab Entertainment and more. (1:30:23)

Sunday afternoon at Denver Comic Con 2013, Katie Cook, Andy Price, Tony Fleecs, and Thom Zahler gathered in a packed auditorium, full of boisterous buckin' Bronies, to engage in a panel discussion of their work on IDW's line of 'My Little Pony' comics, with our very own Murd ridin' herd as moderator! How'd that turn out, you ask? Listen for yourself--it's magic! (50:34)

Jamie got to moderate a panel at the Denver Comic Con on one of his favorite writers - Denny O'Neil. If you've seen a comic in the last 40 years you should recognize his name! (46:54)

It's Previews time again! We go through the June catalog for items shipping to stores beginning in August. (56:09)

Welcome to the Bronze Age, X-Men - hope you survive the experience! Join us, and CGS lecturer-in-residence Chris Eberle, as we pay homage to one of the most successful comebacks in comics history, recounting the X-Men's rise ('Like a Phoenix...!') from reprint limbo to the heady heights of the Claremont/Byrne/Austin run! With a special in-studio appearance by a genuine, first-printing copy of Giant-Size X-Men #1! (2:09:18)

Adam, Jamie D., and Pants headed out west for the second annual Denver Comicon this past weekend. Listen as we recap the Rocky Mountain highs and lows of our con experience, including the panels we moderated, the geek-rock concert we attended and other Denver nuggets including a chat with the Sixth Doctor - Colin Baker. (1:04:34)

Concluding our two-part focus on the Avengers in the 1970s. From the Serpent Crown to the Korvac Saga, from the resurrection of Wonder Man to the mysterious parentage of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, from the induction of the Beast to. . . whatever the hell was going on in Avengers #200, we hit all the major beats of Marvel's flagship super-team title in the latter half of the Decade of Decadence. Wild Pig's Chris Eberle helps us bring home the Bronze in this episode. (1:22:02)

As we take some time off from recording due to the Memorial Day holiday and convention travel, we present another collection of unaired clips from the podcast. There's behind the scenes silliness, pre-interview chatter, discussion on the 'Highlander' movies, 'The Office' finale, and more. (1:12:38)

Shelton Drum, founding father of Charlotte, NC's Heroes Convention, sits down with us for a laid-back chat about his lengthy experience as a comics collector and retailer; the current back-issue market; and the outlook for this year's double-sized Heroes Con! (55:26)

The season finales of 'Arrow' and 'Doctor Who' aired last week so we decided to discuss them as well as the seasons as a whole. Spoilers Sweetie! (59:04)

In this episode the Geeks open some mail, comment on James Robinson's exit from 'Earth 2' and DC, and discuss in some spoilery detail 'Star Trek: Into Darkness' and the direct-to-DVD 'Superman: Unbound'. Also, a brief elegy for a departed CGS Forum member. (1:12:33)

In two weeks, Jamie, Murd, and Pants will ascend to 'Podcast Peak' at the 2nd Annual Denver Comic Con. But first, our merry mountaineers (and Shane) establish base camp with convention organizers and impresarios Bruce MacIntosh, and 'Charlito' LaGreca, as they map out the mother lode of panels, guests, events, and other goodies they've got in store for those bold enough to make the climb! Even if you're not planning to attend Denver Con, give this episode a listen and learn how altitudinously awesome an ambitiously planned comic convention can be! (1:20:17)

Time once again for Previews. We go through the May catalog for items shipping beginning in July. (1:19:59)

We open this episode with a salute to Berks County, Pa.'s late, lamented local treasure, artist Dan Adkins. We close it with webcomic artist Jamie Noguchi (Yellow Peril), who joins us to discuss his Kickstarter campaign, and an interview with Mr. Adkins from the CGS Archives. Somewhere in between, we address the official green-lighting of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series; the upcoming DCU/Masters of the Universe crossover; and the latest 'New 52' DC titles to suffer cancellation. (1:37:56)

For this month's spoiler-heavy spotlight discussion of recent comics, our selections are the first issue of DC's digital-first Batman: Li'l Gotham; Thanos Rising #1 from Marvel; and Jupiter's Legacy #1 from Mark Millar and Image. (And, lurking amid the reviews, a startling revelation about Shane's taste in movies!) (1:15:39)

Free Comic Book Day is here; happiness and cheer! The Geeks compare the piles of goodies they amassed over the weekend, while Jamie reminds us all of 'what FCBD is all about, Charlie Brown,' from a retailer's perspective. Also, a few words about the new 'Teen Titans Go!' cartoon and Doctor Who (more than a few words really), and a distress signal from Murd, as the fate of a spin-off podcast hangs in the balance!
