ABC Podcast Episode #122, plus visual aids

This episode of Evie & Aaron and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Weekend is brought to you by compromised immune systems and the inability to STOP THE RUN. We give much respect to two future-tech-idea-driven comics at different ends of their runs (The Infinite Vacation and Vision Machine) pay tribute to the always exceptional Secret Six, and Aaron has a bit of trouble with the proximity of the "O" and "P" keys on the keyboard. Speaking of which, Heroes for Hire keeps rolling, Daredevil and Superman start to get back on track (despite a shit beginning and some ridiculous proportions for Lois) and we bid a fond farewell to Thor: The Mighty Avenger without having ever learned the identity of the mysterious "Mister K."

ABC Podcast, Episode #53 and visual aids

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by Internet Hornswagglers, crafty peddlers of Wildean wit and lucid dreams for all. Dark X-Men: The Beginning #1 makes a solid showing, General Zod shows some heart, and Warren Ellis proves that he will never run out of thoroughly effed-up ideas with the last panel of No Hero #6. We make ABC history with the first episode in which Evie's Book of the Week is Aaron's Crap of the Week. Or maybe it's happened before, we can't remember.

ABC Podcast, Episode #35 and visual aids

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by Learning to Be Silent, a zen koan that we will never learn in a million years. We say goodbye to birds of the Prey and Robin varieties, get our Coraline on, and can't help giving a laugh-out-loud award to Jeff Parker's sort of mean joke in Mysterius the Unfathomable. Big wins to Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Factor, which we do not spoil, you're welcome Peter David.

Ok, one tiny comics thing

WTF?
This is some kind of "Election Fools Day" thing right? That's not change we can believe in.

This is gimmicky, but sometimes a few haikus, help me to wake up

Final Crisis 3
Feels like that one time in math
When you were real high

Echo is lucky
Who doesn't want a brassiere
That smites enemies

Mary Jane Watson
Eats EZ Cheez for dinner
And loves Spidey Kong

That Patsy Walker
Hangs with Inuit witches
And can drive standard

Robin, Boy Wonder
Is a better detective
Than Grant Morrison

While Cable escapes
Cyclops has an angsty fest
And gets some boobies
