David's Boring Blog

Garin and I rocked the house this weekend. We recorded 4 Episodes. Every week we do a review of what we read the week before. That was a fun recording this week since it was a single book each. Weekly we also record a previews episode of the comic books that will be released the following Wednesday. Some weeks we are lucky enough to score an interview. Sometimes we want to dive into a particular story line, character, or theme. Lately we have been doing Top 10 lists. I talk quite a bit about how that came to be in my David's Top 10 Favorite Comic Book Characters post. We have also been deep diving DC comic book continuity and pulling threads on really important moments.  When you record a great episode you feel the magic in the air. There is a certain energy that just flows out of our back and forth that screams good content. I don't think we ever phone our it in. Garin and I are both too into the subject matter for that. We are fanboys at heart. Some shows are better than othe

Garin and I have been having a lot of fun recording more and more creative episodes of the podcast. I suggested that we start a conversation around what our favorite characters were. The resulting 40 minute debate can be found here . Give it a listen.  Thinking about the list was quite an exercise. I ruled out using independent characters even though that wasn't one of the rules. Garin didn't put any villains on his list. That also was not in the rules. What we ended up with was quite interesting. We didn't have nearly the overlap I thought we would.  Everything I do in life has some sort of internal logic or methodology. If I cannot define a why for something I will rarely do it. Why do I record a comic book podcast? It is a lot of fun. It gives me something to do with a good friend. It gives me an excuse to continue reading comic books. See. Logic! Spock would be pleased.  So, What has me thinking about my favorite comics? Minimalism is the answer. I have thought more an

Ablaze Mirka Andolfo's UnSacred #5 AWA Year One #1 I haven't really followed the solicitation on this one, but I love zombie stories. I also really like Benjamin Percy. His X-Force and Wolverine runs have been phenomenal.  DC DCeased Unkillables #3 Two Zombie books in one week? Oh yes, I think I will.  Image  Deadly Class #44 This is the first week since March 27 that we are getting new comics. I am glad that the offerings are light. I am excited to see what next week will bring. 

DC Justice League #44

DC The Flash #753 Green Lantern: Season 2 #3 Joker/ Harley Quinn Criminal Sanity #4 This is a pretty interesting return to having new comics. DC has stepped outside of Diamond Comics Distribution and shipped comics to be sold Tuesday May 5th. Since my LCS is holding one line on release date (good decision) books were available Wednesday. I hope we don't end up in a chaotic period where comics are dropping on different days for different companies. The rumor mill says we are about 2 weeks away from Diamond shipping new release comics. It was nice to have a few new books to tide me over and give me a break from reading Multiversity for this week's podcast recording.
