I just don't like, its just a sloppy relaunch, it cast 25 years of comics in an odd light of "did this happen when they say it happened?" Some people's stories happen, other people's stories didn't. It trying to serve two masters, and it just doesn't hold up any kind of scrutiny. Maybe if this issue was better I wouldn't let stuff like that bother me.

Dude I completely agree with you. I really freaking hate how they're condensing all of this history, mainly Batman and Green Lantern, to only ten years. And then they're forced to cut parts out of the history that involve other heroes and characters. It's really freaking stupid. But we have to deal with it, and hopefully some light will be shed on the finer points, and hopefully we'll learn to cope and even accept this new reality, and maybe even enjoy it!

Scott Snyder was on the most recent War Rocket Ajax, and it was a fascinating interview. Chris Sims is a more intelligent, eloquent podcaster than either Sara Lima or Tony.

here it is again so it's not lost to the purge:

1. House to Astonish - http://www.housetoastonish.com/
best comics criticism by far. the hosts are scottish and have a great sense of humour. at the end of each episode, they pick an obscure character from the marvel handbook and discuss him/her/it for 10-15 minutes. i love their reviews, but that part is the best part of their show. shame it only comes out every fortnight.

2. The Splash Page - http://splashpage.podomatic.com/
rip =(. these dudes talked for hours and chad nevitt is a really smart guy.

3. Awesomed By Comics - http://awesomedbycomics.blogspot.com/
great format. they hand out weekly awards for covers, heroes, villains, panels, worst happening, best book, and other miscellanea. and there's a girl! girls usually have great taste in comics -- except for the girls on three chicks review comics. they're terrible.

4. War Rocket Ajax - http://warrocketajax.com/
Mentioned earlier. Chris Sims is a fun guy -- he's a man child, essentially. too many capes for my liking, but sims and co. talk about other nerdy things in an entertaining way, and they cap it off with an interview, usually.

5. Wednesday Warriors - http://fightforcomics.com/
4 fun dudes talkin' comics, and giving away signed comics. they do specials every now and then that are a blast: captain america movie review, event readthroughs (with effects!), and other shenanigans

6. Word Balloon - http://wordballoon.com/
I really hate John Siuntres; he's just a terrible interviewer. Go back and listen to his Azzarello interview, it's painful. Unfortunately, he interviews everyone, so I still tune in from time to time.


Are there any podcasts that you guys enjoy? I'm always on the lookout for new podcasts.

This will never, ever happen.

They're more likely to release guides on free comic book day or something.

I always gotta give the shoutout to ifanboy for comics podcasting greatness: ifanboy.com

And in general, I love the smodcast.com podcasts, some which are coincidentally recorded in comic stores, Tell 'Em Steve-Dave and Bagged & Boarded.

And folks if you stroll into a comic store today, get your Justice League with a side of Invincible and Savage Dragon.

It depends. I listen at work, on the way to work, on the way to school, at home during downtime. I listen to music on my iPod all the time, so I just fit them in when I can.

Fialkov is a good writer, Krul isn't. Lemaire is a great storyteller, but it doesn't follow that he has great taste.
