Jamie you keep saying "the balls" to enact "permanent change", yet Murd and many others have pointed out this is a 3-6 month stunt at best. This is the illusion of change, same as it ever was.
The 1st 40 minutes appears to be a "looking forward to...." episode rather than a "Comic Talk"
Flint's V_Mail brings up a point that's been sticking in my craw for over a year. In previous incarnations, CGS would be all over any comic movie to hit the screens. Instead, we're met with apathy and real life excuses. I agree that a "geek cred" shouldn't be revoked if you are a citizen who's just ingesting pop culture at your leisure. But this is CGS. You were at one time the foremost podcast on comic book culture, but since a certain geek left, it's been the farm league. It really has. When's the last time there was a full studio? When's the last time more than three episodes were produced a week? Where's book of the month? Where's the top five lists? Where's the spinoffs promised in the summer of 2011? This is a comic book movie currently at 85% on rottentomatoes, and no one's interested? I'm saddened, I truly am. Radio, no matter how it's distributed is a habitual medium...
So if I were to say Sergio Argones has the poorly constructed doodles of a 4rth graders notebook, that's a healthy discussion on the medium of comics? My kingdom for Peter Rios...
