Jim and I have been wanting to bump the show back to Sunday Nights. It just works better for editing and the release schedule. We recorded 292 last night. I will edit and release it on Sunday which will be our release day for now. It gives us a chance to record during the week.
We have big announcements this week on Episode 300 and our new contest.
Hey Everyone,
This is my crazy time of the year with report cards. We will still have 4 January shows. This is my busiest week of the year with finalizing assessments and putting together report cards so thank you in advance for your patience. The next show will feature Batman #5, Batgirl #5, Green Arrow #5, and Frankenstein #5.

I was really thrilled to hear the announcements today of the next wave of New 52 titles.
Batman Inc. was no shock because of the recent one shot and news of Morrison’s new series wrapping up his take on Batman. I am really excited for this. Leviathan Strikes was VERY satisfying.
Earth 2 is a series that I have been drooling for. I am a huge JSA fan. I didn’t know exactly what direction they were going with this but this is totally going beyond my expectations. I love the multiple Earth concept. I am going to be curious to see if this is an established team on that planet or if we will see an origin of the team. I am fine either way. These characters are missed. You couldn’t as for a better creative team of James Robinson and Nicola Scott. BTW: Read the Shade mini if you haven’t checked it out.
World’s Finest was a surprise. When I heard the title, I naturally assumed Batman and Superman. This is a much better and fresh choice. I am not sure if this is going to be the Huntress from the current mini. I am not sure if she is from our Earth or Earth 2. I can’t wait to see beautiful artwork from George Perez and Kevin Maguire. Power Girl is a favorite character of mine since the 70’s. Paul Levitz is the perfect choice for this book. I am glad they are using this book to link the two worlds and hopefully it will bring some fans to both titles. Don’t miss this! I am excited for all of the announced books but Earth 2 and this title top my list.
Dial H: I am not familiar with China Mieville but am excited to get to know this writer through Dial H. I didn’t read the original series bur I did enjoy Hero by Will Pfeifer. I am anxious to see a new take on this concept as it sounds cool. I am glad DC is mixing solid classic characters with some of their lesser known properties. I like the variety. It makes my weekly pull list much more exciting.
G.I. Combat: I really have been enjoying Man of War. With that book being cancelled at issue 8, I am glad another war title is taking it’s place. The creative teams in this title look very solid. Plus it offers a new jumping on point for a potential audience.
The Ravagers: The thematic crossover between Superboy and Teen Titans is really growing on me. It took me some time because I was a fan of both previous versions. The timing is right to take a look at what happens to some of the other kids who have been captured along the way. It makes sense that not all of them would go the same route as the new Teen Titans.
Episode 290: We’re going Green and more!: Sean and Jim are almost done exploring every title in new 52 with the last few episodes. We continue this journey with Green Lantern New Guardians #5, Green Lantern #4, Resurrection Man #4, and Suicide Squad #4. Plus we have a quick chat about Green Lantern Corps #4.
Episode 289: Welcome to 2012 Batman Fans!: Sean and Jim kick the New Year off with continuing the look at the new 52 with Batman Incorporated : Leviathan Strikes and Batman and Robin #4!
Episode 288: Last Episode of 2011: Sean and Jim continue exploring the new 52 with The Ray #1, The Shade #3, Grifter #4 and Mister Terrific #4. Plus we have some great listener voicemails!
