Podcast 183 July 2012: What did you think?

[BD]

Sorry for the delay gang. The opening song is here and I saw it on George's Facebook page of all places. Very cool song.
What did you all think of the episode?

[Aziz]

This song SUCKS. Lyrics suck, her voice as a singer irks me in this song at least. SUCKS

Oh yeah, Mail Order Comics giving a 50% discount on Spider-Man is new, I expected the usual 38%, that's fantastic news

Hey JR, speaking of inconsistency between Conway's run and Lee's run, it's funny that my question for you in this months podcast covers something similar
Yeesh, mentioning price of comics reminded me how back in 1938 (don't worry folks, I didn't live then ) was 10c for 80 pages of stories, now one pays 40 times as much for 20 pages what people used to pay 74 years ago

Giant Size Superheroes starring Spider-Man....how did Morbius know about Man-Wolf? That was not explained

Did you guys really review Amazing Spider-Man # 685 and 686? Either I missed it or it wasn't there, there was Spider-History, recommendations involving walmarts bus, then some questions

After looking up John Byrne on Wikiquotes..... wow..... just...wow

Yep.

Anyways, some Neal Adams Spidey, if anyone wants to see that.




Don't know why Neal Adams style suddenly goes really cartoony when he draws Marvel characters.

Wait, so what's so weird about John Byrne's commissions? I don't think you guys have that "can't talk about that" filter on these here forums.

As for my dream commission: Frank Miller with Batman and Carrie Kelly as Robin comes to mind, since that was the first comic I ever bought.

I think it's less to do with Byrne's art, and more about the things he says.

Ah--I thought whoever said it was saying that Byrne does some freaky commissions.

I'd love to hear what happens with Mr. Bertone and the Wal-Mart situation...whether Wal-Mart corporate takes him seriously, whether he actually gets to see the bus, etc.

Wow. He's a pretty wacky angry guy. The pedophile thing makes no sense and the terrorism stuff goes to far. The homophobic and racist stuff is just wrong but a lot of his commentary on the comics industry I agree with. Not rebooting though.

BD,

Glad to hear you're liking Game of Thrones. Always cool to see people who hadn't orginally read the books discovering the show.

We have the filter here. The conclusions I have are libelious. It's based on one of his quotes and something reoccurring in his stories. Take from that what you will...
