ABC Podcast, Episode #114 plus visual aids

This Halloween episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by the combined forces of Lord Byron, John Stamos and the undead. Major awards this week go to the adorable Ultimate Spider-Man, the super duper adorable Hellboy/Beasts of Burden one-shot, the fierce and surprising Amazing Spiderman, and Tom Fowler's portrayal of Chris and Euge in Deadpool Team-Up. We talk about "Red," the movie that has about as much to do with the comic it was based on as this one does, and alert you that at least one of us will be out of town for the next two weeks, but we'll have at least one special thing with which to hold you over in the mean time.

Pants totally on fire

Clearly we were big fat liars about that whole "special bonus podcast episode #5a about Hellboy and Gotham Knight" that we were supposedly going to put out right after Episode #5. Don't ask why it's not out, just accept it like the weather. Now that Dark Knight comes out tomorrow (which we'll see on Saturday, as you and Facebook and the National Security Council now know), we may have to do a movie smorgasbord instead.

Also, I realize I have yet to complain here about the fact that we're not going to San Diego next week. We just didn't get our act together, can't take the time off right now, blah blah. Aaron and I went as press in 2006 (being a journalist household has a few privileges that slightly make up for being broke), but I am in a much better place to appropriately appreciate the convention now. I have a coworker with a four-day pass, and I nearly tripped him in the hallway when I passed him just now, on purpose.

Hold yer horsies

Just a note that Episode #5 of the podcast will be delayed a day or so, because comics came out a day late and we were the opposite of overachievers this weekend. But to make it up to you, we're also going to produce Episode #5a, a special show on Hellboy II and Batman: Gotham Knight. Which means things might be delayed even more, but whatever.

Win and Awesome

We just got back from seeing Hellboy II, which was spectacular and which we'll be talking more about here and on the podcast, but I just needed to share that while we were waiting to go into the theater, I played the claw game and got both of these in one grab:
