Happy Holidays, Everyone

Well, the title says pretty much everything, doesn't it?

Thanks to everyone who's made V for Vertigo something of a success--by which I mean we have some listeners on a regular basis--since August. We do this mostly for ourselves, but it's cool that people want to listen to us ramble and argue about stuff. We're going to try to come up with some new segments and such for the show, so stay tuned in 2009. If you can get other people to listen, too, that's even better.

And just a reminder that there will be no new episode this weekend, but episode 11--in which we review Sandman vol. 1 and War Stories vol. 1, and probably talk about what we got (and didn't get) for Christmas, among God-knows what else--will be out sometime in the first week of January.

In the meantime, send us some emails, or post some questions on the forum, or leave us a voicemail. It can be about anything. No, really...ANYTHING.

So, merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and so forth. Hope the holidays are good to all of you.

Episode 10: Pop Culture

In this episode, Rebecca's as sick as a dog. The boys go on without her and talk about books, movies, television shows, and everything else.

They eventually talk about a couple of comics: Preacher: Dixie Fried (Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon) and It's a Bird...(Steven T. Seagle, Teddy Kristiansen).

Episode 9: The Unicorn Cometh

We talk about Black Friday and the craziness of what goes down during it, especially this year. And which would be better to have: a unicorn or Lou Ferrigno?

We also discuss Fables, vol. 2: Animal Farm (by Bill Willingham & Mark Buckingham) and Bigg Time (by Ty Templeton).

Northlanders Rocks

I bought Northlanders vol. 1: Sven the Returned a couple days ago, mostly because I had some Borders Bucks to spend and a 30% coupon ($2 trade!). I'd heard a lot of hype about it, kinda like with Scalped, so I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but it's by Brian Wood (DMZ, Demo) so I figured I'd give it a shot. I love it. We're reviewing it on the show soon, so I'm not going to say much more than that, but you should definitely pick it up. It's only $10 for 8 issues, and you can get it for around $6 through In-Stock Trades. Northlanders for best new series of 2008!
