A Salute to Jamie D. May 05, 2014

Show notes

It's an installment of Comic Geek Speak we'd hoped never to record: the entire cast gathers, joined by friends and extended family members in the studio and by well-wishing listeners via voice-mail, to share fond memories of our departed brother and friend, Jamie D. (2:57:52)

1477 - BOMC: The Sandman: The Doll's House May 01, 2014

Show notes

A beautiful dream recurs, as our comics-conscious conventicle recongregates for the second in a series of Book-of-the-Month episodes devoted to Neil Gaiman's Sandman. In the second volume, 'The Doll's House,' interludes set in the past afford us precious glimpses into the past doings, dealings, and dalliances of Dream; while, in the present, Morpheus stalks a few of his wayward subjects and contends with a dangerous 'dream-vortex'... named Rose. Let the Geeks be your Gaiman-gushing guides on this tour through the tiny, fragile rooms of the human imagination! (1:52:10)

1476 - Off the Racks: Magnus: Robot Fighter #1, Moon Knight #1, and Silver Surfer #1 Apr 27, 2014

Show notes

Moon madness, macrocosmic misadventure, and mechanical men abound in our monthly sampler of recent-release reviews (with SPOILERS!). But first, a special announcement from an assembled throng of Geeks, concerning the health and welfare of one of our own.... (1:58:02)

1475 - Captain America: The Winter Soldier Movie Review Apr 17, 2014

Show notes

'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' is already being called one of the best superhero movies made to date--now hear what WE have to say about the Shield-Slinger's second cinematic sortie! (Hint: it's pretty complimentary.) But be warned, if you enter this battlefield, expect to come under heavy SPOILER-fire! (1:13:55)

1474 - Previews Apr 15, 2014

Show notes

In Spring, a young Geek's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of Previews! We go through the April catalog for items shipping to stores starting in June. (1:26:42)

1473 - BOMC: Avengers Forever (#1-6) Apr 10, 2014

Show notes

The Avengers' 50th Anniversary year may be over, but the fun continues as CGS follows through on its plans to discuss, in some detail, the Avengers Forever maxiseries, a sprawling, eras-spanning, action- and exposition-packed celebration of Avengers history! Download this 'Book of the Month' episode, covering the first half of the maxiseries, and learn why Avengers Forever is, in a peculiarly literal sense, one of the greatest Avengers stories of 'all time'! (2:37:30)

1472 - Spotlight on Daredevil in the Silver Age Apr 08, 2014

Show notes

Here Comes... a new series of CGS Spotlight episodes devoted to Daredevil, in honor of ol' Hornhead's 50th Anniversary! In our first installment, encapsulating Daredevil's first eight years in comics, we address DD's milestone first appearance, his visual development, his early rogues' gallery, his turbulent non-romance with Karen Page, his frequent interactions with (and conspicuous similarity to) Spider-Man, his long-lost twin brother(??), and everything else that defined Daredevil in the Silver Age. Presented by Murdock Scholar Chris Eberle, Prof. Emeritus of Daredevil Studies Kevin Moyer, and the rest of the CGS University faculty! (2:12:41)

1471 - Introducing! Red Tornado, Machine Man, and Scud the Disposable Assassin Apr 03, 2014

Show notes

Reintroducing the 'Introducing!' format, in which we shine the CGS spotlight on the first appearances of three characters, all sharing some common trait or feature, from three different publishers and decades. Taking 'Androids' as our theme, we investigate the inorganic origins of three synthetic superstars: the Silver Age Red Tornado; Jack Kirby's X-51, the Machine Man; and that small-press sensation of the '90s, Scud the Disposable Assassin! If you're in the mood for all-out android action (and origin analysis), these are the droids you're looking for! (1:38:17)

1470 - Questions From the Internet (and Stuff) Apr 01, 2014

Show notes

Returning to a time-honored but long-neglected CGS tradition, we the Geeks use questions and suggestions solicited from the listening audience to help us concoct our signature blend of Comic Talk. Along the way, we listen to a voice mail review of the new, Charles Soule-written She-Hulk series, and we sound off on 'Muppets Most Wanted' (with our very special guest star, SPOILERS! Yaaaaaaay!). (1:32:58)
