I think we're going to put up Kirby next week, and I'm currently nearing the end of writing/researching the History of Image, which will take at least 2 eps and maybe 3. Tasker and I are also in the down times recording our character-by-character look at the unsung and misunderstood members of the Avengers. Dunno when those will go up - probably when cons come back and time becomes a pressure again. dw

Hey all! Every year I run the panel track for a convention called Metatopia. This year, since we've gone virtual, we're not restricted to guests we can actually get to shlep out to New Jersey, and so I have managed to arrange for several of my (and Hero's) dearest friends to turn up: Steve, Jason, Bruce Harlick, Rod Currie, Storn Cook, Brad McDevitt, Melissa Gay, along with literally hundreds of other tabletop luminaries doing panels, roundtables and seminars on various topics. And best of all, it's free! So what are you waiting for? Register now and put the dang thing on your calendar! https:

Just in time for Hallowe'en, it's a spoopy new Explain This, Comics Guys!!

Join us for, "The Children of It!!" https://explainthis.podbean.com/

Excelsior, True Believers! Explain This, Comics Guys!! returns with the best comics podcast since old Bill Shakespeare hung up his headphones! Join us for part one of the History of Marvel Comics!!! https://explainthis.podbean.com/ Very kind, Spence! We've talked about doing a game one someday once we feel like Explain This is on solid ground, but as you say it's pretty time-consuming to do all the research, scripting and recording and we're not making much on it yet. Thank the current pandemic for us having the spare time at all to try this out! dw

Look! Over at Explain This!! It's two nerds, it's a podcast, it's Supergirl!! https://explainthis.podbean.com/

Definitely on the list - we already have a Kirby one recorded but not yet released, and Ditko will get one soon. I'm recording parts 3 and 4 of Marvel's history tomorrow, so the whole bullpen era will get a bit of time in 3 (it took 2 full eps just to get to Fantastic Four #1!) dw

Thanks Spence! dw
