I've been pretty lucky over the last couple weeks to receive four "first offered" movies; Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Expendables 2, Dark Shadows, and Men in Black 3. Am I really lucky, or is there some other reason that I've managed to get the four DVD's the first week they were offered?

I guess the title says it all! Or at least most of it... I do mention Fringe as well as two of my favorite podcasts:

I'll be back in a couple says with some thoughts on (and experiences with) computers.

I had a chance to watch the animated Dark Knight Returns feature that came out recently. Herein are my thoughts, as wishy-washy as they might be!

The owner of the comic shop that I've been going to for 26 years, Nick Yutko, has passed away. Just some reminiscing... 

R.I.P. Nick Yutko 1961 - 2012

The last couple weeks have been a blur. I talk about that and founder around desperately for some comics stuff to talk about.

Sorry I've been delinquent with my episodes - explanation herein.

I also talk about a comic I bought and read this week - The Saint - From Moonstone.

See you in a week.

Just a short one this time, but I just had to gush about this wonderful volume!

This time I talk about:

The second season of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on (one of) the Disney Channels

My investigation into publishing a comic via Amazon's Kindle Store Stephen Hines comic, by the way, is Clyde the Trucker)

And my total infatuation with the StarShip Sofa podcast!

Don't know why I hadn't thought of it, but I finally respond to the Feedback left on the KK Facebook page.

Some thoughts on IDW's Popeye reprint series - Dell's Popeye #1 by Bud Sagendorf

I read two issues of Life With Archie featuring the gang as agents of R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E.

A few (for me anyway) highlights from the current Previews

My four day visit to Columbus Ohio and the PulpFest and some thoughts regarding same.

I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy the show for all the media stuff going on, but ended up getting some good bargains, so in the end, I guess I did enjoy it afterall! On this podcast I just talk about some of the stuff I got, and why I bought it. Some of you younger folks may not even have heard of some of it!

I need to go a more in depth show on those various Archie Genre stories!

The title pretty much says it all!

VERY short one this time. Spent the day wondering what I could talk about and realized that the only comic I've read all week was Captain Marvel. I don't normally like to do negative reviews, but it's all I got! But hey! The pups decided to wrassle in the background, so at least THAT might be exciting...

The Flash Gordon volume coming from IDW is 12 X 16" not 12 X 12 as I said last time... That sheds a whole new light on things and changes my opinion on the best choice.

I finished the Adaptoids story in Secret Avengers and REALLY liked it.

Got my copy of Van Reid's new book: Moss Farm, and have started to read (and enjoy) it. www.moosepath.com

Tony G. asks my opinion on IDW's Popeye series, and I oblige.

This time I babble about the planet (?) of Adaptoids in Secret Avengers (and beg for help in finding out more about them)

Tom Hank's new animated series, Electric City:http://electriccity.yahoo.com/ep1-en-truth-or-consequences.html

Peter Rio's new podcast - The Daily Rios: http://thedailyrios.com/

And answer a question that Peter asked me to talk about months ago! 

https://shop.idwpublishing.com/definitive-flash-gordon-and-jungle-jim-vol-1.html

(and by the way, the description at IDW says 12" X 16" - and that's a horse of a different color!

Van Reid's New Moosepath League adventure; Moss Farm, or the Mysterious Missives of the Moosepath League! has been released and is available at:

I talk about the Ultimates New Ultimates Collected edition, the (way too many) comics and books I got this week, and some things that intrigue me (or I think are of note) from the new Previews issue. All mixed in with lots of digression! 

Sorry I haven't posted in the last week, but it's explained herein. Also go a bit off topic to talk about the prose fiction of two friends whose books / stories I've really enjoyed!

Short show - my thoughts on the new DC DVD - Superman Vs. The Elite.

This time I go a bit off topic to talk about my thoughts and experience with various eBook readers. I haven't tried them all, so I can only tell you about the ones that I've tried, but I hope it's of help to those trying to decide if digital prose is for them or not.

Just some thoughts regarding DC's Earth 2 comic. I read the first two issues this week.

Some thoughts on Marvels Digital comics available from Comixology, and Comixology in general.

Some thoughts on the Ultimate Universe and the Death of Spider-Man and the reboot of the Universe since then.

Topics: When Magoo Flew - The Rise and Fall of Animation Studio UPA, Jolly Frollics DVD Collection, and The Mr. Magoo Theatrical Collection. Russ Cochran's Sunday Funnies, Stan Lynde's prose western novels, and a few comics that I'm reading.

A new Podcast I titled "On The Fly" for reasons I explain. This time I talk about the Mic Recorder App which allows me to Podcast from just about anywhere, and also Apple TV and Roku set top boxes. Feedback is appreciated!
