A ton of fun for us all.

Also to see LBG on a video podcast you can check out his visit with The Book Guys Blog here http://bookguys.ca/blog/episode-072-habemus-douche-1, and make sure to stay tuned for a huge announcement at the end of the show

Well, this episode begins on a mighty fine note as Brett, Chris, Keith dig into The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K sponsored by Comicosity (http://www.comicosity.com/) and begin to talk this week's main subject, the maverick's of comics when screech!!!! Mo shows up fashionably late and the show goes off the rails. First he forces them to go back for more news, reads a twitter thread he was involved with that's not quite pg, takes over the mavericks topic from Chris and ends the show telling a crazy dream he had. His exscuse is he got a concussion Sunday, and is still suffering some effects (he actually did). Crazy but funny train wreck radio here. Also some of the guys infamous review section WeViews featuring Colonize, Ultron 1 AU, GI Joe Cobra 1, Kiss Solo 1, and Theremin. Brett ends it off with an interview with Shane Turgeon from the Edmonton Expo, and they talk about the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo coming up shortly. Some great stuff here folks.

Hey guys it's Mo here and I want to say I have new appreciation for the absent Brett's editing skills this week as left to me this show is up a little later than usual. It also features my heavy breathing, co-host Chris's microphone feedback, and Keith talking much quieter than the rest of us. Sigh... Brett is a miracle worker. Still, this is a really fun show with The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K (sponsored by http://www.comicosity.com/) and WeViews including Thanos Rising #1, Harbinger Wars #1, Batwing #19, Polarity #1, and Knuckleheads #1... Whew We also have another edition of Chris's Comic Book Attractions this time featuring the fine little animated film Avengers Next: Heroes of Tomorrow. Plus this show's main topic is me and the guys try to figure out the 5 main things a comic needs to be to be a successful jump on point, so listen up because the fun never stops on We Talk Comics!!!

It's the Easter Holidays and you're going to need something to do so why not sit down with your pals at We Talk Comics for a bit?

The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K (sponsored by http://www.comicosity.com/) has featured stories on DC giving us a new Batwing, Neil Gaiman bringing Angela to Marvel comics, what's happening with Quantum & Woody over at Valiant, and the official word on the licensing of the 1960's Batman TV series.

Then the boys throw down as Mo hosts The WTC Comic Book Trivia Contest seeing Brett, Chris and Keith compete for bragging rights on geek knowledge. Listen along and see if you all know the answers while cheering on your favorite.

And in this week's review section, the world favorite WeViews, the guys take a look at Guardians Of The Galaxy #1 from Brian Michael Bendis & Steve McNiven over at Marvel, Mark Waid's take on The Green Hornet #1 from publisher Dynamite as well as the new original (very original) series from Jonathan Hickman & Nick Dragotta East of West #1 through Image Comics.

It has finally happened as the usual gang of idiots on We Talk Comics (No Copyright Infringement intended) is back together with Brett, Chris, Keith and Mo starting of by introducing themselves doing some of the worst Ozzy Osbourne imitations ever before heading to The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K (sponsored by Comicosity http://www.comicosity.com/). Then the topic of Same Day Digital Comics and digital in general is dissected before The WeViews section cover's DC's latest release Constatine #1, Five Ghosts from Image, IDW presenting Judge Dredd: Year One #1 and Brian K. Vaughan's digital project Private Eyes #1. So thank you for your support and remember our friends at The Comics Podcast Network (http://www.comicspodcasts.com/), and keep in mind, Now We're Playing With Power (No Copyright Infringement intended... again)

It's another episode of The Longbox Graveyard folks and this time baby wants to ride, a rocket ride that is right into the cosmos as one of the foremost experts in Marvel Comic's outer space epics, our very own good old LBG, gives you the skinny on the adventures to be found in the stars. Nuff Said!

It's the Comicosity Cross-Over Event as Brett and Keith are joined by Jessica Boyd (Host of The Hangout, @charmingred on Twitter) to talk favourite #1 comics. What makes a good debut issue and what are the most memorable they have read? What is the biggest challenge with the Marvel NOW and DC #1s?

Chris is on assignment and we answer the question "where is Mo anyway?" in this mini-event tie-in to Jessica and Keith's new column on Comicosity "He Said/She Said" and Jessica's video podcast MomsReadComics: The Hangout.

The News with CubReporterK is sponsored by Comicosity and this week we get into Marvel's well-meaning but Comixology-crashing giveaway, DC's June solicits, February sales numbers, and the non-New52 appearance of a certain Boosterific hero close to Keith's heart.

In this week's WeViews Brett, Keith and Jessica put the debut issue framework to the test as they look at Nate Cosby's Buddy Cops one-shot (Dark Horse), Sledge-Hammer 44 #1 (Dark Horse) and Wolverine #1 (Marvel NOW).

Listen in, and please spread the word and check out our friends at The Comics Podcast Network, and send any feedback to comics@wetalkpodcasts.com

It's the 69th episode of We Talk Comics, and because we're so mature our hosts Brett (our valuable show editor), Chris (of Comic Book Attractions Fame) and Keith, AKA Cub Reporter K (anchor of The Weekly News as sponsored by http://www.comicosity.com/) go a little more adult in discussing some mature content, and beyond mature in this episode. As a result, the content of this show is MORE EXPLICIT than the average We Talk Comics. Also, WeViews of new books Age of Ultron #1, Helheim #1, Lost Vegas #1 and Sex #1 from Image. So give a listen, and please spread the word and check out our friends at The Comics Podcast Network (www.comicspodcasts.com/), and send any feedback to comics@wetalkpodcasts.com

Ready to hear WeViews of Guardians Of The Galaxy .1, or the new Image book 5 Weapons? How about getting up to date in the comic world through The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K? (And it's sponsor http://www.comicosity.com/ of course) Or maybe just sit back and hear Brett, Chris, Keith and Mo as they do something they've amazingly never done before, just give you their monthly pull lists, why they're reading these books, why you should read them too, and what's been happening in them. Just good, old fashioned, straight up comic talk here folks, and you can find more of that with our pals at The Comics Podcast Network (www.comicspodcasts.com/), and drop us feedback at comics@wetalkpodcasts.com

It's We Talk Comics episode 67, The Sickcast! Why? Because Mo has Pneumonia, Brett has a cold, Chris has food poisoning, and Keith has The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K (Of course sponsored by our friends at http://www.comicosity.com/).

Still everyone is here for the news, Chris's Comic Book Attraction segment looking at the 1997 TV Pilot film for Justice League of America, plus tons of WeViews including Justice League of America #1 and it's complimentary book Vibe #1, the new Matt Wagner project Shadow Year #1, and Marvel's releases of Nova #1 and Alpha: Big Time #1.

Plus something very special, as after looking at the new book by Clive Barker published by Boom Studios, Hellraiser: Dark Watch #1, we are ecstatic to present an interview we thought lost from nearly 2 years ago with the man synonymous with with one of the most iconic horror figures in film history, the man who played Pinhead in 8 films, the legendary Doug Bradley!

We are so happy to have found this interview in time for the release of the latest Hellraiser series and we're sure you'll enjoy Brett's talk with the gracious and cerebral Mr. Bradley about his experiences playing Pinhead, psychology behind the character, and ownership and pride in the role.

Hey kids. It's the 66th episode of We Talk Comics, except this one is sub-titled we don't talk comics, but don't worry, we still do... sort of. We do have The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K (sponsored by Comicosity http://www.comicosity.com/) covering the most important news stories of the past week including predictions on what books will get the axe in DC's latest round of cancellations, plus we have our usual WeViews section on Secret Avengers #1, Katana #1, and Uncanny X-Men #1. But what is the story behind this month's ominous title? It's just that we wanted to talk some other geek stuff with less of a comic theme like movies, TV, cartoons & more, so download and listen to a show a little different, but also the same, and after visit our friends at The Comics Podcast Network (http://www.comicspodcasts.com/) too.

Get ready all to hop on board the cool train as Paul O'Connor AKA The Longbox Graveyard grabs hold of you this month to bring you into his wild and crazy world including the latest updates on his life and blog (http://longboxgraveyard.com/) plus a great story for you to hear.

After teasing it in last month's podcast Mo over at We Talk Podcasts berated LBG a little for not sharing the story he mentioned of meeting with Steven Spielberg, so here it is now. Plus, here the pitch LBG made to the man in charge of Marvel Comics Bill Jemas.

And of course the related links for listeners of the show include...

Our second annual Independents Special is a full-length interview with Image Comics writer Kurtis J Wiebe. Kurtis had a busy year with the on-going series PETER PANZERFAUST as well as the mini-series DEBRIS and GRIM LEAPER. We talk to Kurtis about the ups and downs of creator owned in the current marketplace and the bold promise that he and his co-creator Tyler Jenkins have made that PETER PANZERFAUST will continue "no matter what."

We open the show with a full version of the classic song "Eve of Destruction" by the 1st group to ever record and release it 60's hit makers The Turtles.

This is something showing the strength of the unique form of a podcast for Longbox Graveyard with a father who wishes to share his love for comics with his son and an observant young man who has more to teach all of us than you might imagine

We Talk Comics returns with a fantastic interview sponsored by Comicosity (http://www.comicosity.com/) with former Editor In Chief of Malibu Comics Chris Ulm as well as Co-Founder/Publisher of Malibu Dave Olbrich.

The early 90's were one of the most controversial, innovative, volatile and exciting times in comic book history and these two gentlemen were there at the front line of it all with Malibu, whose importance in discovering new talent, innovating modern coloring techniques still helping to shape the way you read today, and publishing of The Ultraverse line cannot be overstated.

We have stories of starting a Black & White publisher in the 80's just after the TMNT boom died down, discovering and publishing new talent and books such as Men In Black, as well as early stories of Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld with his book Youngblood.

Find out about the early days of the founding of Image as Malibu was the Publisher of Record for that company as they started. Inside stories of how Malibu ended up working with them, and how that partnership dissolved.

Learn how the Ultraverse 1st formed and who was ALMOST one of the founding fathers. Stories of the inception and reception of that line, the Bravura line that came shortly after, and the game company they had known as Malibu Interactive.

You'll also get inside details you won't know on how Malibu was purchased by Marvel Comics and why as well as DC Comics surprise role in this, and the downfall of The Ultraverse line once that occurred in a way you likely haven't heard before.

All this plus stories of literary and comic book legends Larry Niven, Walt Simonson, Steve Gerber, Howard Chaykin and more, and Dave makes a request to end this show with the very appropriate AC/DC song Back In Black

We want to thank them for taking time with us, and you can follow Chis's current work at Appy Entertainment (www.appyentertainment.com/) and check out Dave's blog Funny Book Fanatic (http://funnybookfanatic.wordpress.com/) to get more inside stuff on Malibu as well as his other thoughts. And a very special shout out and thanks to our friend Paul O'Connor (http://longboxgraveyard.com/) for making all this possible.

And check out our friends at Comic Podcast Network (www.comicspodcasts.com/) of which we our happy to be affiliated

Time for a Quantum Leap as We Talk Comics goes back in the 1st of a multi part look at the sometimes awesome, sometimes terrible, but always interesting 90's in the world of comics.

After the Weekly News with Cub Reporter K sponsored by Comicosity (http://www.comicosity.com/) it's off to this week's big topic

We start at the beginning, talking Marvel's place as leader of the industry in the early part of the decade, DC's place in the market, the emergence of Image and Valiant and how Dark Horse lived up to it's name.

All this plus we spend a few minutes with veteran comic book creator Ken Steacy and a little music to end it all featuring late singer Joey Ramone to celebrate his birthday

So pour a big glass of whatever you fancy and sit back with your favorite comic crew

O-U-T

One of the coolest things ever is on this week as we give you almost a full hour of great audio with famous writer of stuff Peter David.

First after introductions is The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K, now proudly sponsored by Comicosity (http://www.comicosity.com/)

A loose format this week as no official WeViews but the Brett, Chris, Keith and Mo took the time to discuss quickly what they read with 3 huge books from IDW this week, John Byrne's Trio, Steve Niles & Bernie Wrightson's Frankenstein Alive, Alive & Night of A Thousand Wolves plus Vertigo's Mystery In Space and Marvel Zombies-Destroy

But the special treat this week is the time spent with Peter David. We all know he's a terrific writer but far more important than that (or than being a terrific artist, athlete, singer or whatever) is to be a terrific person, and Peter David was most certainly that to us. He both let Mo interview him for a few minutes and also allowed us to record the question and answer panel he did at the Calgary Expo where you not only hear stories about his work in comics but in video games and movies as well. His interactions he tell us about with Will Smith is truly classic. This is great for fans of not just comics but story telling in general, and we want to thank Peter David so much for his gracious ways.

So stream or listen, as Earthworm Jim would say, it's groovy

O-U-T

This is a very special episode of We Talk Comics as we present you with something most unique and very cool, a conversation with Appy Entertainment Brand Director Paul O’Connor.

Now don't worry we didn't forget to bring The Weekly News with Cub Reporter K or WeViews on Marvel's Thor #12.1, Image's debut issue of America's Got Powers #1 or their new book from Jonathan Hickman Secret #1, Dark Horse Comic's Alabaster: Wolves #1 and Rich Johnston's Iron Muslim #1 from Boom Studios but...

This is largely about the chat Keith and Chris had with Paul discussing everything from digital comics and the future around them, how the app marketplace works, how Marvel or DC could and should react, what this means for smaller publishers, and about a billion other interesting topics. This is a simply amazing conversation that fortunately we all get to listen in on.

In addition to the knowledge Paul brings from working with an IOS app developer Paul has had published comic book work as a freelancer by such companies as Malibu (Ex-Mutants: The Shattered Earth Chronicles, Rune, etc)and runs a fantastic website with his blog http://longboxgraveyard.com/ where you can read his work and get all the social media info you need to follow him for more.

We want to thank Paul very much for his time, and hope to talk again real soon. So listen in on this conversation with a fascinating and brilliant man. As Harland Williams would say, What A Treat!
