Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 70 - Christmas With the Superheroes #1 (1988)
Sunday Dec 24, 2017
Sunday Dec 24, 2017
Happy holidays and season's greetings, everyone! In this episode, our resident grinches Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) shake their bellies like bowls full of jelly and get infused with the Christmas spirit when they read DC Comics' Christmas With the Superheroes #1 from 1988! After what they'd hoped would be truncated biographies for every creator on every story in this anthology, our comic book elves read through the entire issue in their impeccable squawky style. If you miss this particular hit of eggnog, you'll be placed on the Naughty List!
From Chris and Reggie, everyone have a happy and safe holiday! Thanks to everyone for listening!

Real Comics History, Episode 6 - The Year in Comics 1954
Thursday Dec 21, 2017
Thursday Dec 21, 2017
1954... a year that changed comics forever! Join Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) as they give a quick and dirty reminiscence of their five-part Weird Comics History series on the Comics Code Authority (Episodes 1-5, available in the archives!)... and chat up a bunch of other (less-noteworthy) comics biz events of the year.
There's also some at-the-time relevant Young Animal news (at 22:35)... which you're free to ignore!

Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 69 - The Pro. (2002)
Sunday Dec 17, 2017
Sunday Dec 17, 2017
Step into our budoir, comics enthusiasts. In this sinfully sultry episode. Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) delve into the "bluer" side of funnybooks when they read Garth Ennis, Amanda Conner, and Jimmy Palmiotti's prestige format The Pro. published by Image Comics in 2002! After some squeaky clean creator bios, and a downright pleasant review of the conditions at Image Comics that made this comic book possible, our intrepid but tepid explorers spelunk the seedy and slightly sticky pages of The Pro., with some dialogue altered to preserve decency. After revealing some thoughts on the book, there's a list of times characters did the nasty in mainstream comic books. It's an episode that will put your partner in the mood...to leave the room!

Real Comics History, Episode 5 - The Year in Comics 1968
Thursday Dec 14, 2017
Thursday Dec 14, 2017
C'mon get happy everybody! For this week's "classic" re-upload, flower children Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@acecomics) discuss the year in comics... 1968! This isn't so much an "according to them" sorta show, considering that neither of the fellas had yet graced the planet with their presence... however, with the benefit of hindsight (and the internet) they break down all the big news in the comics biz.
What better way to prepare for this weekend's milestone 69th episode than discussing a year ending in 68? Well, there's probably many better ways, but this is all we got!

Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 68 - Spawn #1 (1992)
Sunday Dec 10, 2017
Sunday Dec 10, 2017
Hell...o, living comics enthusiasts! This week, our wicked hosts Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) look at the last of four launch titles when Image Comics opened for business in 1992: superstar artist Todd McFarlane's Spawn #1! After some author information, it's right into dissecting the issue, and the origin story for this rather...familiar character. Then, they talk about some of Todd's controversial public statements before closing out with a look at Todd the Toy Master, and a brief history of playtime! Plus: listener mail! You won't want to miss it!

Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 67 - New Defenders #126 (1983)
Saturday Dec 02, 2017
Saturday Dec 02, 2017
Greetings, comics enthusiasts! Our erstwhile heroes Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) dive into an unusal iteration of a unorthodox superhero team, when they read J.M DeMatteis and Alan Kupperberg's The New Defenders #126 from 1983! After the requisite author bios, they detail the history of the Defenders to 1983, then dissect the issue in their inimitable way. Then, more about the Defenders (including something about a Netflix show) and a list of radio, television and movie adaptations of comics that eventually informed the source material! It's going to be balls-to-the-wall, bickering action, so don't miss it!
