Show notes

All's fair in love and Previews! We go through the August catalog for items shipping to stores starting in October. Then, we talk to our old friend Steve Bryant about the Athena Voltaire Compendium, coming soon from Dark Horse! (1:28:10)

1496 - Comic Talk: Guardians of the Galaxy Edition Aug 06, 2014

Show notes

We take some time to react to a few SDCC news items, including this year's Eisner winners and the upcoming Star Wars series (plural!) from Marvel. Then, we shoot for the stars, devoting the entire second half of this episode to our rapturous review of the magical, musical, mirthful space-odyssey that is the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movie! (1:24:49)

1495 - BOMC: Saga Volumes 1 and 2 Aug 04, 2014

Show notes

It's the story of Alana and Marko--lovers, fighters, new parents, deserters from both sides of a vast interstellar conflict as ancient as it is senseless--who defy all odds to seek a new life for themselves and for their new baby girl, somewhere among the stars. It's a tale of love and war, comedy and tragedy, sci-fi concepts and family values. It's SAGA, the smash-hit space opera/romantic comedy/action/adventure comic by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, and in this episode covering the first 12 issues of the ongoing series, it commands the Geeks' full attention! (1:14:44)

1494 - Listener Feedback Jul 29, 2014

Show notes

Demonstrating once again the truth of the old Riosian motto 'We Are Wordy B**ches!', we the Geeks take a mere handful of communiques from you the Listeners and spin them out into an hour-and-a-half of entertaining comics-connected commentary and conversation. It's what we do! (1:37:01)

1493 - Comic Talk Jul 24, 2014

Show notes

Matt's in the studio for this episode, so the topic inevitably veers toward movies, in particular the latest 'Batfleck' tidbits. Also, Chris provides a retailer's perspective on conventions; Peter describes his first exposure to the old 'limited animation' Marvel cartoons of the '60s; and Pants and Shane indulge in a two-man discussion of the latest Doctor Who comics series from Titan Comics. (1:25:13)

1492 - Off the Racks: Savage Hulk #1, Superman #32, and The City on the Edge of Forever #1 Jul 21, 2014

Show notes

Witness here one of the last legacies of late CGS producer Jamie D: an Off the Racks episode featuring reviews of Superman #32 from DC; Savage Hulk #1 from Marvel; and most Jamie-approved of all, the first issue of IDW's adaptation of Harlan Ellison's original script for the classic Star Trek episode, 'The City on the Edge of Forever.' (1:12:38)

1491 - Previews Jul 15, 2014

Show notes

Stars and Stripes and PREVIEWS Forever! We go through the July catalog for items shipping to stores starting in September. (1:43:24)

Show notes

Summertime, and the livin' is easy--and in the CGS Studio, we've got some comic talk to catch up on! Topics include the remarkable reading habits of Bryan's daughter Clara (hint: she's into superheroes), Pants' ongoing love affair with original art, early buzz concerning the upcoming San Diego convention, and other bits'n'bobs. (1:27:41)

1489 - Top 5 Comics Based on Licensed Properties Jul 03, 2014

Show notes

As Seen on TV! The Geeks wax nostalgic about their favorite comics licensed from other media: toys, video games, film/television, and beyond! An essential topic of conversation for all geeks (children of the '70s/'80s in particular), presented in the scintillatingly synergistic CGS style! (2:00:33)

1488 - Spotlight on The Fantastic Four in the Bronze Age Jul 01, 2014

Show notes

The Lee/Kirby stories of the Silver Age are a tough act to follow, but the Fantastic Four in the Bronze Age has a lot to offer the interested reader as well, as this episode endeavors to prove! Inside you'll find scripts by Thomas and Conway, pencils by Perez and Pollard and Buckler and Buscema, and covers by Kirby; Medusa and Luke Cage as substitute FFers; Earth (TWO of 'em!) under siege by Galactus; the emergence of Franklin Richards' powers; the menace of Overmind; the courtship of Crystal and Quicksilver; the return of the Impossible Man; the deposition of Dr. Doom; and other '70s sensations sampled from the second 100 issues of the World's Greatest Comic Magazine. Excelsior! (1:52:38)
