Episode 108 - I can use my finger to push it down

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:49:36 -0500

Oh, please, don't kill us. Please, please don't kill us. You know I love you baby. I wouldn't leave ya. It wasn't my fault.

No I didn't! Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.

Actually, I was at my in-laws and they didn't have internet access, so I wasn't able to upload the episode. Here's the run down:

Transformers Animated & Universe toys
Emails from Jeff & Ray

Booster Gold 1,000,000

Episode 106 - In Which We Speak Very Little About Comics

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:13:01 -0500

Bit of a delay getting this episode published; would you believe a hard drive crash? No? How about a driver conflict? How about six fishing boats and a dinghy?

Anyway, Ray joins us this week via Skype to discuss Omar's wedding, Secret Invasion & all of its crossovers, Doctor Who - The Stolen Earth, the Incredible Hulk movie, Wall-E and Pixar films, Transformers Spotlight Cyclonus and Batman: Gotham Knight and RIP.

Episode 105 - We Gotta Hurry

Episode 105 - We Gotta Hurry

Episode 104 - Long Distance Relationship

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:59:56 -0500

It's no secret that we've had trouble actually getting the group together for the podcast. After two or three aborted attempts at meeting this week, we decided to do the whole thing with spit and duct tape - that's right, we did a whole podcast via Skype. But the good news is that we got Jeff to join us for this one!

It starts with a bit of an e-mail shuffle, then Jeff announces a contest. From there, we start into our rants, hitting Manhunter 31, Trinity 1 & 2, the last 2 episodes of Doctor Who, Justice Society of America 16, Secret Invasion 3...

AND THEN SKYPE CRAPS OUT AND WE HAVE TO RECONNECT

...and then we continue on to Avengers-Invaders 2, some toy talk about Iron Man, Transformers Animated, DC Infinite Heroes, Invincible Iron Man 2, Wolverine, Cable 4, Young X-Men 4, and we cap it off with Buffy 15.

Episode 104 - Long Distance Relationship

Episode 103 - Grant Morrison and Web-Pits

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:13:29 -0500

What would make you think there might not be a podcast this week? Shame on you.

Since we've finally been able to coordinate enough to get a few of us together in the same place at the same time, we were able to talk about Final Crisis 1 and Batman 677 (which led into a 'discussion' about Grant Morrison's storytelling), Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men, Uncanny X-Men 498, 1985 1, All-Star Superman 11, X-Force 4, and of course, Indiana Jones and the Unnecessarily Long Film Title. Enjoy.

Episode 102 - Better Late...

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Mon, 26 May 2008 08:31:06 -0500

Episode 102 - Better Late...

Episode 101 - A Perfect Movie

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Wed, 07 May 2008 14:19:06 -0500

It's a post-100 world, folks. We're older and wiser now. It just doesn't show.

We start our episode with a recap of the Cincinnati Botcon and a little talk about the 25th Anniversary Transformers line they previewed at the show. Then we run through some wonderful e-mails and we talk about a few comics from the last two weeks, including Free Comic Book Day X-Men, Blue Beetle 26, Mighty Avengers 12 & New Avengers 40, DC Universe 0 and Green Lantern 30. Then we wrap up the episode with a discussion of the best comic book movie ever filmed, IRON MAN.

Episode 99 - What He Plants on the Ladies

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:39:57 -0500

Titans 1
Serenity - Better Days 2
Booster Gold 8
Justice Society of America 24
Wolverine 64
Green Lantern Corps 23

Also, two quick notes. Yes, this episode is intentionally without the opening music and episode title, because I thought the way we recorded it was funnier. And we've decided to integrate the clip show we spoke of before into episode 100. We didn't forget.

Episode 99 - What He Plants on the Ladies

Episode 97 - Screw You, Kentucky Guy

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:22:18 -0500

The Ray/Jeff battle royale continues, and Chris makes a wise suggestion about spinning it off into its own podcast. Beyond that, I've once again left the show notes at home, so I'll update this post later. Writing them on paper seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Episode 97 - Screw You, Kentucky Guy

Episode 96 - Silly Ring, Activate!

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 09:31:59 -0500

In this episode, we open an Iron Man movie figure, read e-mails from Sanna and Ray, and discuss Justice League of America 19, Captain America 36, Iron Fist 13, Countdown 6, Amazing Spider-Man 554, Iron Man 27 (which leads into the discussion about the Mandarin's rings), Death of the New Gods 7, Robin 172, Checkmate 24 and FX 1. We close with a bit of movie discussion, regarding the upcoming Hulk and Iron Man films, Justice League: The New Frontier and the upcoming Batman animated film, and the finally upcoming Evangelion movies.

~~So the sheet on which I wrote the show notes is at home, and I'm at work, but I want to go ahead and get the episode up, so I'll update this post later with the notes.~~ I can tell you that 1) the audio on this one is much better and 2) we spend a lot of time talking about the Mandarin's rings.

Episode 96 - Silly Ring, Activate!

Episode 95 - I Think They're Going Back to Mongul

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 17:11:20 -0500

I'm back, with Omar, Chris and Melanie - it's like a Beatles reunion. We play some voicemail, and read a few e-mails, which launches us into some recommendations for classical heroics in comics (we suggest Gravity, Y The Last Man, Kingdom Come, Green Lantern Rebirth, the Dark Phoenix Saga, Batman Year One and Year Two, and Sailor Moon), a further discussion of digital comic downloads, some Transformers talk, and we ring the bell on Ray vs. Jeff, Round 2.

Then we move onto comics discussion, starting with The Last Defenders 1 and hitting on Logan 1, Wolverine 63, Serenity - Better Days 1, Green Lantern Corps 22, X-Factor 29, Walking Dead 47, Booster Gold 7, BPRD 1946 3, Abe Sapien 2, Secret Invasion Saga and Doctor Who 1.

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 08:46:39 -0500

From there we start into comics, reviewing Hulk 2, Ultimates 3, Amazing Spider-Man 551, Cable & Deadpool 50, Transformers Spotlight - Arcee and Justice League of America 18. Then we talk briefly about the rumor that DC Comics is cracking down on late art, and about the toy news (or lack thereof) from the New York Toyfair. Then it's back to comics, with Mighty Avengers 9, Death of the New Gods 6, Countdown 10, Robin 171, Umbrella Academy 6 and Runaways 29 rounding out the discussion.

Episode 92 - No, We're Watching the Watcher

Episode 91 - Kernel Panic

heroes@aboutheroes.com (About Heroes) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 10:53:10 -0500

32 minutes into the podcast we were recording last night, my computer freaked out and threw a kernel panic. Once I'd rebooted, I was able to find the file, but it was hopelessly garbled, so we couldn't use it. So we recorded another 50:00 worth of show, talking about Uncanny X-Men 495, X-Factor 28, X-Force 01, Wolverine 62, New Avengers 38, Booster Gold 00, Countdown 11, JSA 12, The Goon 21, Fantastic Four 554, BPRD 1946 2, Abe Sapien - The Drowning 1, Walking Dead 46, Spawn 175, Green Arrow - Black Canary 5 and Salvation Run 5.

For those who aren't particularly fond of their aural sanity, I went ahead and attached the ruined (but still somewhat comprehensible) audio after the main podcast. For you sane folks out there, stop listening after 'stay geeky.'

Episode 91 - Kernel Panic

It was a slow week, so we've got a bit of a shorter episode. We talk a little bit more about One More Day, and then on to things we actually enjoyed: Detective Comics 840, Countdown 17, Messiah Complex and Uncanny X-Men 494, Teen Titans - Year One 1, The End League 1, Umbrella Academy and Lobster Johnson.

The new year brings us the conclusion of One More Day, and we get everyone in to talk about it! We also read some e-mail and talk about the Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul, Batman 672, Justice League of America 16, Messiah Complex, Teen Titans 54, Immortal Iron Fist, and the new Transformers Animated series.

Also, I'm trying out a new naming scheme with this episode, so those of you with tiny-screened players won't have to guess which episode you're about to listen to. We'll see how iTunes deals with it.

In our Christmas morning episode (in which I think we completely forgot to talk about our favorite Christmas specials, our planned topic), we follow up on last week's episode by discussing some of the best books from that week, including Nightwing 139, Salvation Run 2, Green Arrow - Black Canary 3, New Avengers 37, X-Factor 26, Booster Gold 5, and X-Men: Die by the Sword 5. I also get my rant on about DC Direct action figures, and everyone else, all of whom have already seen I Am Legend, discuss it. And finally, I've added a little bonus for the Doctor Who fans out there. Merry Christmas!

Because of the holidays and resulting difficulties in getting schedules synced and books read, we've got a shorter podcast this week, in which we talk about four books: Detective Comics 838, New X-Men 44, Invincible 46 and The Walking Dead 44. Oh, wait, there was one other reason for the shorter podcast this week - Omar finally got an XBox 360 and Halo 3, so we spent a bit of time playing, and we devote the second half of this podcast to our first impressions of the game.

And here's a quick request: if you're so inclined, visit the About Heroes page on iTunes and leave us a review! The two reviews there are both extremely old and extremely short, and it'd be great to replace those with some new (and positive, we hope) reviews.

About Heroes Episode 8

We do a lot in episode 8. Which Flash was it in IC 5? Crisis on Infinite Cybertons. Why don't they translate sound effects in some manga? What's the state of the comics industry? How do comics relate to comic book movies? Are comics still "taboo"?

NOTE: There are some skipping issues at the beginning of the file. As far as I can tell, they are restricted to the first minute or so of the episode, after which any incoherencies are our fault, not the hardware's.
