ABC Podcast, Episode #67 and visual aids

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by music, some of which is made by us or friends of ours and is good; some of which stole Evie away, and is bad. Very, very bad.

While Evie is AWOL, Aaron is aroused and impressed by Chrissie Zullo's hot babe cover of Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love #1, while being repulsed and insulted by David Finch's hot babe cover of Psylocke #1. Aaron also is incredibly enthralled with the intricate worlds quickly created by Mark Waid and Christos Gage in The Unknown: The Devil Made Flesh #2 and Absolution #3 respectively. Aaron was also shocked by the motivation reveal in The Mighty #10 and enjoyed the start of the Assault on New Olympus storyline, despite a last-page appearance by a certain 'snikt'-er who just has to get his greasy little sporks into every event, doesn't he.

Tell us what you think in the comments, or visit our show forum except don't do that yet because I haven't posted anything there.

ABC Podcast, Episode #66 and visual aids

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by something nonsensical and kind of awful. Incredible Hercules wraps up a heroic tale of yes, please, and Kieron Gillen declares sweet war on other new mainstream creators with a triumphant new Ares series for Marvel. We learn a lot about Batwoman's past, and Wonder Woman seems kind of screwed, but she'll probably figure it out. Also, KANG.

So, you'll see the show is there in the right sidebar. Sorry, I passed out on cold medicine (again) and couldn't do the whole kit 'n' kaboodle with the post here. Will do it tonight.

ABCP 65 Cont'd

Since Evie's not feeling so well and has a full day of crap ahead of her, I figured I'd help out and post the pretty pictures, since I know how to do that. If you make clickings, they get bigged.

Here's Evie's cover of the week, Ex Machina 46, written by Brian K Vaughan - cover by Tony Harris with spectacular colors by JD Mettler.



And here's my cover, the variant for Skrull Kill Krew #5 written by my friend Adam Felber, who needs to send me an e-mail next time he's back in New York. Cover by "Rocafort, Regler, and IF's Prianto." (who can also fight for your rights if you've been injured on the job or in an auto accident.)



Here's Evie's panel of the week, from Beasts of Burden #2 written by Evan Dorkin, art by Jill Thompson. And would it KILL you two to put in more cats?



Super bonus - here's more cats.



And my panel of the week, from The Stuff of Legend #2 (which you can get here if your shop didn't pick it up) written by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith, art by Charles Paul Wilson III.



And, as promised, here's Italian Spiderman.



Sheep pictures will follow. (get it? that's what sheep do.)

ABCP Episode #65

I am working late and getting sick, so I'm going to put off the visual aids until tomorrow night, but the new episode is up here or in the right sidebar. Kisses.

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by the Valley Shepherd Creamery, where we met some totally badass sheep who totally wanted to hang with us for more than our snacks. Speaking of domesticated animals, Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson's Beasts of Burden wins our hearts, as does Power Girl's cat, and her trip to IKEA. Chew holds onto its title as the Surprise Hit of the Summer well into October, and the new run on JLA, hopefully off a steep cliff, begins. Please be sure to download the War Rocket Ajax Halloween Special this week, where we are delightful, or at least shrill, special guests.

ABC Podcast, Episode #64 and visual aids

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by tea, zen and scalding all over your lap. Incredible Hercules shines in ball-kickin', nipple-twistin' onomatopoeic glory, and Mike Carey's awesome The Unwritten makes no sense in the best possible way. Deadpool and Spider-Man mini-story anthologies get points, and Batgirl starts to begrudgingly meet our requests, while also demonstrating DC's sore need for good teen-themed pencilers.

ABC Podcast, Episode #63 and visual aids

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by the latest entry in our rap battle beef war with War Rocket Ajax, and holy cats is it a heartbreaking, dream-making love-taker. Brother I mean Doctor Voodoo works his magic, and the long-awaited wrap-up to Planetary is universally (GET IT?) lauded. A lot of good-guys-turned-bad this week, and WTF is up with that thing that Batman did? That was highly irregular.
