Episode 2: Blame Canada

We welcome Nate to the crew this second episode of the new podcast. After scheduling issues we attempt to stay awake into the wee hours of the night to get this one finished. There's a failed attempt at a decent Top 5 and we have a short discussion about the upcoming X-Men: First Class movie, which Wolverine will NOT be in. We also have a new voicemail number and I chose it just to spite my co-hosts and to show them who's boss. There's a little too much Spidey talk, and that will no longer be tolerated (let's all look at the new guy). Since I couldn't come up with a good name for the episode, I'll blame Nate and since he's Canadian, I blame Canada.

NEW Voicemail Number: (424) 704-3667 [DOOP]

Books Covered: Wolverine #5.1, Wolverine #1000, Daken #5, Wolverine: The Best There Is #3, X-Men #7

New Releases: February 23, 2011

Real quick, we got X-23 #6, X-Men #8 and Uncanny X-Men #533. There's also Astonishing X-Men #36, though I don't cover that (as of now). I'm half asleep, so hopefully I didn't post anything stupid.

What are you picking up this week?

What I've Been Up To

I know I have not posted a review in a while. Sorry about that, but I've been focusing on the podcast lately, trying to get some things worked out on the tech side of things. I'll probably just go back and put out short versions of missing reviews in a couple mass posts in the few days. I haven't decided yet, but I may end up staying a couple weeks behind on my comics, but I'll still keep posting, just a little late. I'll be that kid who laughs at the joke told two minutes ago. But that's pretty much it. No massive snowpocalypse or anything else to prevent me from picking anything up. Just been busy.

Fan-Made Wolverine Trailer (Wolverine vs. The Hand)

So I was on Jason Aaron's Blog and I came across this fan-made Wolverine movie trailer. I'll just post it and let you give your thoughts.

A Very Strange Wolverine Picture

This is from the Wolverine Gallery in the back of Wolverine #2 from December 1988. It's drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz.

All I can say is "Wtf?" There are so many oddities here, from the shoes, to the hat, to the freaking bandana on his arm. It's great. Click on the picture to see it in its full glory.

New Releases: February 16, 2011

This week we have three books coming out. Looking for a new series to pick up? Uncanny X-Force #5 and Wolverine #6 begin new story arcs and Wolverine & Jubilee is only on issue #2, so you can pick up the first one and jump on with no problem. For those of you not reading it right now, I would highly reccomend giving Uncanny X-Force a shot.
