On the Next Major Spoilers Podcast Trade Paperback

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008--by Stephen Schleicher

judascontract.jpgI ended up having a lot of people drop by the house this past weekend (Fri-Sun) and completely forgot to post this yesterday.

On tonight’s Major Spoilers Podcast, the panel will dive into another of their Top 30 Trade Paperbacks - Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.

Written by Marv Wolfman
Art by George Pérez, Dick Giordano, Mike DeCarlo, and Romeo Tanghal
Cover by Pérez

They were Earth’s teenage defenders — unbeatable and unstoppable. Riding high, they took an eighth member — a young girl — into their ranks.

She was their downfall.

In the ’80s, THE NEW TEEN TITANS was DC’s most popular title and a huge sales success. The series reached a high point with the multi-part storyline now reprinted in this new edition featuring the epic that played on comics readers’ expectations and offered shocking revelations and surprising twists at every turn. Included are THE NEW TEEN TITANS (Volume One) #39 and 40, TALES OF THE TEEN TITANS #41-44 and ANNUAL #3.

THE JUDAS CONTRACT is by the fan-favorite team of writer Marv Wolfman (CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS) & penciller and cover artist George Pérez (Avengers, WONDER WOMAN), with inkers Dick Giordano, Mike DeCarlo and Romeo Tanghal.

From the retirement of Robin and Kid Flash, to the birth of Nightwing and the introduction of Jericho, to the ultimate betrayal of a Titan — “The Judas Contract” kept readers positively riveted during its initial run and still has fans talking today.

If you would like your comments included in the show, please get them in before 7:00 PM (CDT) tonight!

Review: Gumby #3

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008--by Matthew Peterson

Or - “He’s Back, Dammit!”

Gum2.jpg

I have a confession to make.  I am an internet nerd.  I remember BBSes, I played on the USENET years ago, and even had my own brush with Intarweb stardom.  Once upon a time, I was known on certain minor posting boards as “The Lizard King.”  My claim to mediocre fame was the creation of the “BMF List,” a list of fictional characters who were worthy of carrying Jules Winnfield’s famous wallet from Pulp Fiction, the one that said Bad Mother F&*#er.  One of the  earliest entries, indeed the one that I recall as inspiring it all, was a little clay dinosaur named Prickle, friend to Gumby the little clay boy.  I return now, to the fields of yore, to see if it’s really true that you can never go home again…
