Another week and another podcast... This week the main topic is Our Favourite Comic Book Artists (who are currently working). The list is surprisingly diverse and not much overlap is made, but it's safe to say that we all have pretty good taste in art, if we do say so ourselves (and we do...).

How to Fix Marvel Comics | Comic Book Podcast Issue #55 | Talking Comics

Wed, 14 Nov 2012 09:00:00 +0000

The gang are all back together and while Steve, Bob and Bobby are still recuperating from Hurricane Sandy, Stephanie is recuperating from finding a snake in her bedroom (she's had it with these motherf*cking snakes in her motherf*cking bedroom!). True story.

However, onto more relevant things, the Topic of the Week is based around a question. We all rag on the big companies putting out our favourite comics, but what would we do differently? For the sake of time and such, we've chosen one particular company to focus on and that's Marvel (who have, of course, just launched Marvel NOW).

But before we get to that discussion, first up is everyone's Books of the Week, which include: Batgirl Annual, Invincible, Steed and Mrs. Peel #2, X-Factor #246, Detective Comics #14, Marvel NOW's Deadpool #1, Legends of the Dark Knight and more!

No power, no heat, no gas, NO PROBLEM! The Talking Comics crew is back to give you the indepth analysis and hard hitting journalism we are known for....or we are going to talk about a lot of comic books and argue over whether or not Star wars is cool.

On this week's show we run through a lot of books including The Flash, the final issue of FF, Blackest Night, Captain America #19, and Ghost #1. In addition we talk variant covers for JLA, Jeff Lemire taking over Green Arrow, Bryan Singer directing X-Men: Days of Future Past and of course, Disney buying Lucasfilm.

The Mind's Eye: A Radio Play by Bob Reyer | Talking Comics

Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:47:26 +0000

Hurricane Sandy reared its ugly head this week and although all memebers of the Talking Comics crew are safe and sound, we are without power! So, in leiu of a new show we have decided to give you a little treat.

A few years ago Bob Reyer wrote a radio play, it was produced by Bobby Shortle and was released under the Fanboy Remix banner. The cast featured Mr. Reyer, Bobby Shortle, Steve Seigh and also Jacqui Turner and Brian Verderosa of Doctor Whocast. It's a macabre Lovecraftian tale that we felt was very fitting for Halloween.

We hope you enjoy the show and thank you for being patient as we get the train back on the tracks.

A History of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns | Comic Book Podcast Issue 50 | Talking Comics

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 07:00:00 +0000

It’s our 50th show… like WHOA! Can you believe it? We’re two shows away from a year of Talking Comics podcasts. We’re so incredibly honoured to be doing this and to have such an incredible fan base. You guys rock.

Putting our emotions away (until later in the show), this week’s topic is The Dark Knight Returns and what the comics world was like before and afterwards. Our resident guru, Bob Reyer gives us a little history lesson and tells what it was like to live through that era in comics.

As for this week’s Book of the Week, several things are discussed including: Catwoman, Batwoman, Y: The Last Man, Daytripper, Sword of Sorcery, Birds of Prey and a few others. I’m starting to think it’s more fun for you all to figure out who talked about what, so I’ll leave it at that.

DC New 52 Year in Review | Comic Book Podcast Issue #48 | Talking Comics

Wed, 12 Sep 2012 08:00:00 +0000

Just about a year ago, the DC New 52 sparked an idea in Bobby’s head. An idea that would later become Talking Comics and the Talking Comics podcast.
*sniff sniff*
Not that we’re trying to get all emotional on y’all. Or maybe we are.

Back on the ranch… this week’s show is dedicated to the DC New 52. Since, again, it started this adventure, it was fitting to bring things full circle with a recap of our year with DC’s little experiement.

Of course, in addition to the DC New 52 comics we talk about, we discuss some interesting news stuff, Stephanie regales us with stories of where she’s been for the past couple of weeks (hint: whatever she says is a lie… she’s REALLY working as the vigilante superhero known as Shenanigirl) and the gang tell us their Books of the Week. Some of those comics include Love and Capes, X-Factor, Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre, Phantom Stranger, Wonder Woman, Metal Men and Fantastic Four. I’ll let you figure out whose favourites were whose from that list.

But we also hit up the indie publishers and dish on books like Secret, Saga, Masks, Bedlam, Happy and the latest from a Luna Brother.

Of course we also tackle our books of the week as Bobby is bringing a Geoff Johns special with Justice League and Aquaman #12. Steve gives some love to Dan Slott's Arkham Asylum: Living Hell. Bob once again showers love on a Mark Waid book, but this time it's Steed and Mrs. Peel #0.
