As familiar as Spider-Man’s theme song…
“In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.

Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.

Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.

Wonder Woman,
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned upon you.
And the magic that you do.”

Classic late 70s cheeze…that was then; this is now. Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka, Liam Sharp & Nicola Scott.

From the Geek Hard website: “This week, Andrew and Sammy take a look back on the career of another great comic creator that left this world far too soon: Steve Dillon.

Steve passed away on October 22nd of this year due to complications from a ruptured appendix. A fantastic artist that was able to convey personal emotions and cinematic sensibilities in his work, Dillon got his first big break in comics drawing the Hulk Weekly Magazine for Marvel UK. He would eventually make his way across the Atlantic and work for DC, Marvel and more. He is best remembered for his for his collaborations with writer Garth Ennis on Hellblazer, Preacher and Punisher. He has become synonymous with Frank Castle as his take on The Punisher has become iconic in the eyes of the fans.”

Fresh New Episode! I so wish we had more time with this topic as I view myself as a fan and a creator so I understood both POVs. In comics why are the champs champs and why do some superheroes end up with participation awards?

Why do characters like Spider-Man and Batman earn readers’ respect, draw the biggest creators while other less fortunate superheroes toil, constant origin revisions.

Yo…#BackIssueBloodbath!

Today’s Hidden Gem requires the clapper.

One of the primary storylines from the past week is how the mainstream media sucks (truthfully media never recovered going online…the news wasn’t gonna slow down long enough for them to figure out an online business strategy. Anybody who has madcap dashed through a busy airport to catch their departing flight understands that stress.)

In Red Letter Nights my book of poetry I dedicated a Wally West poem to Mark Waid. There’s a Fun Flash Fact.

Mark Waid is of course a giant in the comics industry so it’s only fair we tackle his work in a 30 minute podcast!

Let’s Do This, Yo…

On November 7, 2016 we lost Leonard Cohen.

The world is poorer when we lose poets (Unfathomably we lost Bowie and Cohen in one year; I feel defenseless). Rufus Wainwright is synonymous with Hallelujah (so many fantastic covers really but Rufus gives Hallelujah pathos, Leonard gives it weight because dude had weight, poets…yo). Yet rather than the traditional cover…this is Rufus’ Hallelujah with 1,500 singers. Woah. Choir! Choir! Choir! is a venerable Toronto institution. If you’re ever in town join em; that’s the way it works: show up and sing…lend your voice to the choir.
