Meltcast 43: Mark Sable, False Start’s Meredith Wallace, Zines, Kickstart Comics, The Boys, Casanova and some Namor love

admin
No Comments »

We’re down two men as Caleb is a prisoner of the legal system, while the Hammer is in aerial transit. However, we’re picked up by returning fave Mark Sable (writer: Two-Face: Year One, Grounded, Unthinkable, Hazed), and False Start ‘zine proprietress Meredith Wallace (http://www.false-start.com/). Meredith talks about how the web introduced her to DIY/Feminist ‘zine culture, how she started False Start after college, and some of her recent favorites, like INVINCIBLE SUMMER, ALABAMA GIRL #9, & LOVE LETTERS TO MONSTERS #3. Mark enlightens us on his new ventures with Kickstart Comics (and Kickstart’s unique distribution model), which begin with his new comic RIFT RAIDERS w/artist Julian Totino Tedesco (out in comic shops mid-October, pre-order today!).

The show then delves to the deep as Chris tells tales of the Avenging Son thanks to The Sub-Mariner’s new series debut- NAMOR: THE FIRST MUTANT - we discuss King Namor’s history, past series, and the first bromance of the Marvel U with Mr. Macenzie and Doc Doom. We rise from the depths to tackle STUMPTOWN #4, THE BOYS, BATTLEFIELDS, as well as Matt Fraction’s CASANOVA.

LA TIMES: Digital comics: Nemesis or sidekick to comic book culture?

Digital comics: Nemesis or sidekick to comic book culture?

Some say the animation and sound effects threaten the aesthetic foundation and could wipe out comic shops. Others say the medium is bringing badly needed new readers and innovation.

Meltdown ComicsChris Rosa manages Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. New readers who become interested in digital comic books might eventually want to collect paper issues, but “the jury is still out on that one,” Rosa said.

It’s a book! It’s a cartoon! It’s … digital comics!

Technology, which has already upended the music, television and movie businesses, is now gripping the comic book world. Publishers are unleashing a torrent of digital comic books across smart phones, tablet devices, game consoles and digital book readers, portending major changes in how comics are made and marketed.

admin
5 Comments »

This weeks’ episode has more roster changes than a year of Avengers titles! First, while Caleb is away, the podcasters three contrast the opening of the Daredevil event SHADOWLAND, with Grant Morrison’s latest chapter of his ongoing Bat-saga in BATMAN & ROBIN #13. Other books discussed include DETECTIVE COMICS #866, Meltcast fave Paul Cornell’s ACTION COMICS #890, TURF #2, SCALPED #39, BATMAN: ODYSSEY, THE ATOM SPECIAL, THE BOYS, X-WOMEN, and the Marvel comics premiere of CASANOVA.

In the second segment Sam steps out and Nicole Campos (LA WEEKLY)  returns to help us interview Eisner Award winner Hope Larson (GRAY HORSES, CHIGGERS).  We touch on Hope’s Survey of Female Comics readers, working with book publishers versus within the comics industry, and her newest book, Mercury.

Our hands were not idle this week; the devil must be disappointed.

Meltcast 035: Wonder Woman, Captain America, Iron Man, J Michael Staczynski and The Rosa Rage is Uncaged

The Rosa Rage is uncaged on this edition as we dive full bore into the Wonder Woman revamp by Straczynski and Kramer. Then comes RED LIGHT PROPERTIES, THE ABOMINABLE CHARLES CHRISTOPHER, CAPTAIN AMERICA #606, IRON MAN #27, BRIGHTEST DAY, DC LEGACIES, GHOSTOPOLIS, DEATH OF DRACULA and WEREWOLVES OF MONTEPELLIER.

In the last segment we discuss this year’s Eisner nominations, and can’t help but cap everything off by further debating the work of J. Michael Staczynski. No one was harmed in the making of this episode, and everybody still likes each other (I think).

Meltcast 034: Josh Fialkov, Tony Fleecs, DC Digital, Hastings, Criminal, Jam!, Return of Bruce Wayne

admin
No Comments »

This week we cram over 10hrs of traditional Meltcast content into a tight 90 minutes! For an appetizer we briefly touch what we’ve been reading: CRIMINAL: THE SINNERS, JAM!: TALES FROM THE WORLD OF ROLLER DERBY, DAREDEVIL #507, SPIDER-MAN: SHED, and pirate action galore with THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE #3.

Then, as DC launches their opening salvo into the war of digital supremacy, we discuss their five-pronged digital attack, outflanking Marvel on day-and-date distribution, digital royalties, something called the retailer affiliate program, and the ascendancy of comiXology as the new Diamond. On the flip side, we dissect the news of the first national comics chain as entertainment retailer Hastings makes a bold move into selling comics. Is this the re-invigoration of brick and mortar? A new king of the Direct Market? Or just another comic book dilettante on the block?

As if all that weren’t enough, we saved the best for last: our final segment is the long-anticipated arrival of Mr. Joshua Hale Fialkov, writer of ELK’S RUN, CYBLADE, THE CLEANERS and the now-on-shelves TUMOR! He brings us a treat in the form of creator Tony Fleecs and we delve into the joys of procreation, Fraggle porn (huh?), comics’ Library Binding subculture, the history of LA and much, much more.

How did we fit it all in, you ask? It was either Dr. Doom’s time platform or a timer on Chris’s iPhone. We’ll let you decide.

admin
1 Comment »

Worlds collide and universes are shattered as we make it official! Sam “the Hammer” Humphries is welcomed as the newest permanent member for the Meltcast (and the internet couldn’t be happier).

To celebrate, we bring aboard a double shot of guests for your listening pleasure! First off, we welcome Michael Holmes (adapter), Ryan Johnson (musical director), and Marz Richards (the devil) of the Sacred Fools Theater Company (sacredfools.org) to discuss their current show: FORBIDDEN ZONE: LIVE IN THE 6TH DIMENSION, a stage adaptation of Richard and Danny Elfman’s 1982 video cult classic. They also keep us posted on the status of SERIAL KILLERS, MAGNUM OPUS (literal performances of the worst screenplay ever found) and the upcoming and first-ever Hollywood Fringe Festival.

In the second segment we lose our collective shit and welcome a unified Meltcast favorite as Joshua Dysart, writer of UNKNOWN SOLDIER from Vertigo Comics joins the discussion! We talk the recent heartbreaking news of the series’ upcoming cancellation, his plans for ending the story, and upcoming projects like the final completion of  BUDDHA (Liquid Comics) and the upcoming NEIL YOUNG’S GREENDALE (Vertigo) with Cliff Chiang on art duties.

Many bothans died and even more tears were shed to bring you this information.
