Whilst Iz is away, sunning herself on exotic beaches, lazing by the pool and testing the elasticity of her trousers at the buffet, Stace enlists the help of fellow comic nerd and podcaster, Eric Martin, for this rather long and tangent-filled episode. Eric, also known as The Question on thecomicforums.com, is one half of both the DC Noise and Comics Playground podcasts.

As Stace sets the record for the number of times one person can say 'anyway' in one podcast (and there were more, now to be found only on the cutting room floor!), Eric divulges the very first comic he bought with his own money, why that one in particular caught his eye, and which comic storyline he'd erase from continuity if he could, along with a few of his favourite things.

Amongst the Reviews this episode are the Wonder Woman animated movie, North 40, Wednesday Comics, Master of Horror, Bear, Green Lantern Corps and more! Eric sets Stacey off on yet another love-filled ramble on Blackest Night, the Peeve section disintigrates into digressions galore and both Eric and Stace admit to shedding a tear over a comic.

All this, plus two jolly spiffing music nuggets, a lotta DC love and reasons why Stace would make a terrible superhero.

Reviews this episode include some sort-of-old comics in the forms of Infinite Crisis and Villains United, as well as some new stuff including The Unwritten, Red Robin and Gotham City Sirens.

The Disney-Marvel take-over is discussed (you may not have heard about it, it's not big news :P), as well other very important news stories such as the X-Men motion comic trailer, a Del Toro Deadman film in the works, and Stacey's impending 24th birthday! A-woo-hoo!

So sit back, make yourself a nice hot cuppa, and enjoy Stacebob's return in this extra-long, extra-awesome episode!

Comic Book Outsiders Episode 56

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:23:00 -0700

In this bumper episode Steve and Scott start with some news, mostly about James Cameron's and Felicia Day's respective Avatars. Then they embark on a discussion about censorship. How has it been done in comics in the past? Is it always a bad thing, or are there times when some level of censorship is appropriate? Let us know your thoughts. Finally they discuss a Hidden Gem. The miniseries V from 1983, created by Kenneth Johnson, it's an epic story following the human resistance in the aftermath of an alien invasion. Some of the audio quality isn't great in this episode, but by episode 57 Scott will be back in England so things should be cleared up.

Everything Comes Back to 2000 AD â Episode 9

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 05:45:00 -0700

After a few weeks away it's another desperate catch up episode so the guys temporarily abandon the old stuff and instead focus on progs 1646-49.

We get you up to speed ready for 1650's jump on issue while also taking time to point out just how goddamn pretty Leigh Gallagher really is.

As usual, expect language not suitable for the kiddies and spoilers throughout. Also expect noisy Mexican builders and cat torture.

Comic Racks - Episode 42

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:49:00 -0700

The Stand-In-Stacey-sode

After a weekâs delay, and with young Stacey now trekking around the UK in search of top entertainment, Iz finds a deputy-Stacey in the shape of SFX blogger and co-host of 'Small Press Big Mouth' podcast, Stacey Whittle.

It might be a different co-host but it's the usual amount of tangents, comic-book ramblings, and the odd bit of appreciation for pretty boys.

In the already out-of-date News, we cover last minute Sherlock Holmes casting, a new Steve Niles film adaptation, and a very spiffy competition to be a zombie in upcoming Insomnia graphic novel Damaged Goods.

Iz and deputy-Stace have an incredibly geeky chat about what they love and don't love in comics, films and tv - with tangents and rants about Superman the Movie, drunken encounters with Simon Pegg, and Keira Knightley.

Normal service will be resumed soon with the usual suspects.

Scott is still overseas in Canada (slowly inching his way onto the set of Caprica, so watch for him in the background when it airs!) whilst Steve is back home protecting old Blighty from pirates.

In this episode there is the return of a couple of old favourites, but before that we kick off with some News and Reviews. Afterwards we get back to basics with Challenge Scott, where Steve pitches three new comics to Scott and tries to get him interested in at least one of them to go and pick it up.

After that it's the return of a Guilty Pleasure, where once again one of us steps into the confessional and asks the listeners and their co-host for understanding and forgiveness. This time it's Scott's turn to try and convince Steve about a film that he likes but perhaps, shouldn't. We'll be discussing Slaughterhouse 5 in Episode 60, so if you've read it already, send us your comments via email, or post them on the forum and we'll try to include them in the show.

8In this special edition, the guys forgo the regular reviews and rubbish and instead have a mammoth 90 minute chat with 2000AD artist PJ Holden.

Its probably best to think of it like you are in the pub, there's three guys talking comics on the table next to you, and one of them happens to work for 2000AD... it'll help.

As usual expect language not suitable for the kiddies from the start (we had some technical problems connecting).

Stephen once again decides Richard is a p**sy on such important matters as the pros and cons of having little arms and children's shotgun related trauma are discussed. They also bid a farewell to Cradlegrave and after weeks of being as nice as they could, finally crack and give it some grief... so if you are a fan of that series you've been warned!

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:48:00 -0700

Welcome to a spangly new episode of Comic Racks; insanely rambling just for you since 2007!

In this episode, the ladies attempt to do a shorter episode using alarms which don't go off properly, get ignored, or aren't set at all, resulting in this 1 hour and 45 min extravaganza!

Join the Racks as they get over-excited by Deadpool related news items, other exciting new podcasts and comics galore. Spoilertastic reviews include Batman & Robin #1, Terminator Salvation, Eekamoo, Cancertown, Pwanda,Thugs #1, Fear Agent, Chew #1 and a shedload more besides.

In the Ask The Racks section, the girls struggle to cast actors in comic movies, Stacey desperately attempts to explain Deadpool's name (and probably failed miserably) and Iz explains why superhero comics make her run away in fear. Also discussed are boobtastic manga figures, the comics that made us nerds and what catchphrases the super-awesome Comic Racks figures would have if ever they were made.

Playing out this episode is the worlds most ridiculous, offensive, foul and downright hilarious song, Skeletor VS Beastman by Gnarkill. If you value your childhood, you should probably skip this song...

Enjoy!

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Wed, 06 May 2009 15:22:00 -0700

The one with a death-wish.

Despite a combination of both work and home technology farting in the face of the Racks, we (eventually) bring you a stupidly extra-long episode, packed with our usual confused ramblings about comic books, films, tv shows, books and pretty boys...mmmm, pretty boys :)

Although this episode was supposed to be just us re-living our over-excitement about seeing the Wolverine movie, we did the usual HUGE tangents and ended up with a ma-hoosive Reviews section too - covering a ton of brilliant brilliant stuff - a list of which will appear on our forum asap (mainly cuz I'm an idiot and lost my huge list) - MAJOR SPOILER warning for the Wolverine film.

Listen up at the beginning for flippin' brilliant News and listen up at the end for a Promo of Iz's fave new podcast The Sidekickcast.

Apologies for the echo - Iz's laptop is a git.

Comic Book Outsiders Episode 43

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:51:00 -0700

In this episode we start with some news and reviews and then begin the first part of our discussion about comic book companies. With over thirty comic companies it is sometimes very difficult to know where to start for new readers. There are no obvious labels about what genres of comics different publishers produce, so in an attempt to make it a bit easier for new readers, or those interested in a particular genre, we start with a guide to some of them. This episode we talk about Top Shelf Productions, Icon, Dark Horse, Vertigo and Red 5 comics. And of course during the episode I completely forgot to mention Rex Mundi or Star Wars comics when talking about Dark Horse comics.

We then get into a lengthy discussion about remakes. Are they a good thing or not? With the end of TV shows such as BattleStar Galactica, and news on the horizon of other remakes and reimagings, we look at what has come before and what is planned for the future. As always we appreciate your feedback and comments on this show and the topics we discuss.

Comic Racks - Episode 34

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:42:00 -0700

Shortest episode ever!! Through a combination of exhaustion and snot the Racks keep it brief-ish this episode - with another extended review session.

Along the way the girls argue over Gail Simone, and debate such crucial cultural issues such as dancing like a moron, snot-induced swearing...and horse cock.

Listen out for some shameless self-promotion and a charity appeal - Iz could be doing a run dressed as Wonder Woman if she reaches her target :D Good and bad news is covered - Stace is going to Bristol Con (yay!!), but Iz had to cancel Cymru Con (boo)..which leads the Racks onto plotting jumping on Geordies and Dan DiDio (but not at the same time).

A billion and three reviews are discussed and some cracking Rack Music is played - and Iz gets an extra-special voicemail at the start of the episode (swoon).

Comic Book Outsiders Episode 39

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 04:20:00 -0800

Bringing you some of the very best hidden gems from the world of independent comics, movies and TV.

This episode we start with some news and reviews about recent comic conventions and new projects from Oni.

Our Main Feature is a discussion about how to introduce a non-comics reader to comics. Getting into comics is not easy, as many people don't know where to start, and are not familiar with the medium and all that it has to offer. Scott and I have both put together a list of very different comics that might interest people who want to get into comics.

We cover a number of genres but the lists are just the tip of the iceberg. So if we've not mentioned a genre you are interested in and would like some recommendations, get in touch and we'll see what we can do.

Our Hidden Gem this episode is the TV series Burn Notice. We talk about our love of the show and its main characters, and the roots of show and how it owes a lot to some of our favourites from the 1980s and 1990s.

Comic Racks - Episode 31 - NYCC!!

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:57:00 -0800

WARNING: Not only is this episode long (and liable to explode your ears with awesome), but it also contains the worlds rudest, most hilarious, most inappropriate chat-up line EVER.

Welcome to a super-special, super-long, super-crazy episode of Comic Racks! Join Iz and Stace as they recount their tales from the past two weeks. But which is more exciting; Iz's trip to New York Comic Con or Stace's snowman buildery? You decide!

In this rant-filled episode, Stace goes completely mental over snow, CookieShake milkshakes and imported face coffee, while Iz tries to restore some sanity to proceedings with tales of forumite kindness and the Racks debut in a real book.

Of course, Iz's attempt to be sane fails miserably during the Peeve of the Week section, where both ladies express their utter disdain for the state of TV advertising today. Who you gonna call? Not 118 as that's only half the number...

As the ladies get their review on, hear what they think of Green Arrow & Black Canary #16, Scars, Faces of Evil: Prometheus One-Shot, Being Human and Wrestlemaniac, to name but a few (warning; there's a pretty huge spoiler for Final Crisis lodged in this section!)

Our main section sees Iz recounting her trip to the New York Comic Con, including tales of embarrassing herself in front of her favourite creators and (briefly) flashing her Racks t-shirt at Dan DiDio.

Enjoy!

Remember, if you want to be a part of the CBO Book Club, go out and pick up 'The Winter King' by Bernard Cornwell.

Comic Book Outsiders Episode 37

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 15:57:00 -0800

Bringing you some of the very best hidden gems from the world of independent comics, movies and TV.

In this episode we start with some news and reviews about the recenty New York Comic Con and some of the news that is more off the beaten path, comic news from smaller publishers, we talk new TV, and a new MMO.

Then it's time for a trip to Bizarro world, as we have Challenge Steve where Scott pitches two comics to me to see if he can sell them enough so that I'll pick up one or both. We start with a discussion about a previous recommendation from a Challenge Scott, Echo by Terry Moore, and Moon Lake, the first trade paperback which collects issues 1 through 5 of this new ongoing series.

We wrap up the episode with a discussion of Smuggling Spirits, a new horror/ noir graphic novel that we were sent recently. We talk in depth about the story and its concepts but we don't give away too many spoilers. Smuggling Spirits takes place in a nightmarish Prohibition-era America, where humans live in fear of blood-thirsty creatures called "darklings." A bootlegger and his young ward find themselves on the run when they stumble upon the key to destroying these deadly monstrosities. As the beasts close in to take back whatâs theirs, the two make their final stand in a blend of horror, drama, action, and suspense.

It's interview time again with Shawn Pryor of PKD Media joining the Racks from Kentucky, USA.
Shawn is the founder of PKD Media, creator of Mercury & the Murd, Exo-1 & the Rock Solid Steel-Bots, and many more works in progress - and is also a thoroughly nice and charming chap.
The Racks discover a kindred spirit in conversational tangents, and the interview is made up of more outakes than real content, but we do manage to have in-depth discussions on how to get into writing, self publishing, self promotion, what PKD Media are up to, what swines Diamond are, comic book film adaptations, Amy Winehouse needing a hug, and most important of all - favourite swear words and favourite type of buscuit.

Reviews include: Flight of the Conchords, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz #2, Prince Caspian, & Buffy #21.

SPOILERS for Buffy #21.

Q!PAW Presents... The Hat Decides.

Three idiots discuss topics suggested by the listeners.

It's unrehearsed, unedited, unimportant and utterly irrelevant.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far!!

Comic Racks Episode 29

mail@comicspodcasts.co.uk (UKCPG) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:42:00 -0800

In a bid to save your ears from bleeding mid-episode, the main topic (featuring quite poor sound quality clips of the Racks live from the Birmingham Hippodrome) has been shunted to the end of the episode. Listen at your own peril!

Anyhoo, this slightly shorter episode sees the girls attempt to keep their reviews to a minimum, touching on Superman Red Son, Ellis' Thunderbolts Vol 1, Proof, and Igor - of course the plan to keep it short(ish) totally goes to pot when Stace interrupts the recording to read and give an impromptu review of Secret Six #5. The Top and Tail segment sees a joint, non-comic related Top, and a Dr Who episode that did not impress Stacey :(

During the News segment, Stacey depresses everyone with talk of Diamond's new order limit, but Iz saves the day by pimping out The Uniques and a new podcast.

On top of this, Stace reveals exactly how to get her totally wasted, Iz speaks of fur muffs and they both get a little bit too excited over a certain John Barrowman and his appearance in the rather spiffy pantomime, Robin Hood. Swoon!!

Enjoy !
