Road to Rebirth 03: Forever Evil Forever

This is it, folks! This is the wrapup of one of the greatest stories in the New 52 history! And Al and Jon are here to give you all of their thoughts on it.

First, though, they cover some of the tie-ins of the series, specifically those that involve Supers, namely Justice League Volume 5: Forever Heroes, Justice League of America Volume 2: Survivors of Evil, and Suicide Squad Volume 5: Walled In. After varying levels of coverage with those side stories, it’s time for the finale with Forever Evil 7.

In two weeks, we start to look at how a new Luthor gets involved with the Justice League, or should we now call it the Injustice League??!!

SDCC and Solicitations October 2016

It’s solicitations time again, and I’m here to share all my thought son the coming books, but we also just had San Diego Comic-Con, so I’m gonna talk about that as well. And joining me on this episode is a man who was able to talk to some of the creators at the con, ComicBook.com’s own Russell Burlingame!

If you would like to look at the solicit text and preview covers, you can find those at Newsarama. Also, Russ has put up several articles featuring interviews, links to which are as follows:

I hope you enjoy the listen! And look for new Rebirth and Road to Rebirth episodes later in the week!

ASMC “Lost” 038 – Amazing Spider-Man 50

It’s been a long road getting from there to here. It’s been a long time, but the time is finally here for “Spider-Man No More!” There is a bit of a story behind this “lost” episode. First of all, Stephen Lacey is back with us to talk Amazing Spider-Man 50, but Fall 2011 was before he became co-host of the the world-renowned Fantasticast, and we loved having him on to talk about the issue. Sadly, though, the recording malfunctioned, and we lost the first 40 minutes of the recording, which included the iconic trash can scene from the issue. We had to get together again a little bit later to rediscuss the first part of the issue, and then THAT recording was lost as well. So we got together AGAIN to rerediscuss that part. HOPEFULLY, my editing skills are masterful, so you’ll hardly even be able to tell that there is a recording break or that the first part of the episode was recorded a little bit after the rest. Hope you enjoy!

ASMC “Lost” 037 – Amazing Spider-Man 49

Hello, it’s me. I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to listen as we go over everything in a Spidey comic. They say that time’s supposed to heal ya, but I ain’t–

Waaaait a minute! This isn’t an Adele song! It’s a brand new episode of Amazing Spider-Man Classics, that’s what it is!

What?! You mean you unsubscribed??? What a fool! …er, I mean, that’s probably understandable cuz it’s been a while. But the show is on its way to making a comeback. Beginning with this here episode right here.

So here’s the lowdown. This is the first of three episodes from years and years ago that I am calling “lost” episodes. In it, Josh and Don help me take a look at the ins, the outs, and the drama of Amazing Spider-Man 49. Over the next few weeks, two more episodes will come your way with a special guest walking with us through issues 50-52. And then I’m gonna do an episode where I sit down and clean out the email bag.

And then the show will be back to new episodes. With some changes. But you’ll hear about that only if you listen, which you should definitely do!

And I hope you enjoy it 🙂
