ABC Podcast, Episode #49 and visual aids

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by barely functioning automobiles, and a behind-the-scenes look at the work of one of the industry's biggest artists at the climax of his career. School's in session for a new hilarious cohort of X-Men First Class, and Beta Ray Bill space-gallops away with big prizes. Be sure to start getting psyched now for next week's 50th Episode/One-Year-Anniversary Spectacular. We don't know how spectacular it will be, but by calling it that a lot we hope to make it so.

ABC Podcast 2008 Year-End Special!!

Welcome to the Awesomed By Comics Year-End Spectacular Extravaganzamaskkahnzasm! In this very special two-part episode, Aaron and Evie give awards to the comics, characters creators and more that made 2008 in comics what it was, from the triumphs to the tripe. Lots of new categories, and some unexpected (and some very expected) winners. We even sing for you, for free. As a special bonus for those who believe hard enough, we'll throw in a dozen of Aaron's famous orange cranberry pecan Christmas cookies. Be sure to download both Parts A and B.

Nominees for 2008's Funniest Moment in Comics (because they lose a little something in the audio version):











(These next two panels don't sufficiently represent the nomination, which was the execution of Kang's attempted world domination via potato chip enterprise)
