Hey Gang!
Have a title-specific installment of Comix Tawk to share this week... which was meant to be the first episode of a multi-part series wherein we discussed the lives and times of the Teen Titans.
Rather than referring to this as a "Part One", we will just look at it as our look at "The Early Years" of that team we enjoy so much.
Any memories of the Titans? New? Teen? Team? Lemme know, I always love chatting about 'em!

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 36: Batman #458 (1991)
Friday Jul 24, 2020
Friday Jul 24, 2020
Hi Everybody!
Chris is on Infinite Earths returns after an extended hiatus to discuss a very interesting issue of Batman... featuring a strange fellow who would linger in the background for years to come.
This episode includes an extended introduction with a lot of housekeeping, Q&A, and introspection... which, if that ain't your thing and you'd still like to hear me drone on about Batman and Harold, feel free to hop to around the 45-46 minute mark of the show.
The inspiration to discuss this issue in particular has to do with "schoolyard myths" and local urban legends... a topic I enjoy quite a bit. Join me to learn all about the Diaperman of Oakdale... and the most dread Sayville Skate Rats!
I'd love to hear and discuss some of your local legends! If you've got any, please reach out!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 22 - Strikeforce: Morituri #22 (10/88)
Monday Jul 20, 2020
Monday Jul 20, 2020
Welcome Back, Recruits!
This time out, and after a little time away... we kick off "Season Three" of Morituri Mondays! We open with a bit of an explanation/apology for the lack of new episodes over the past couple of months... and then hop right on into our Morituri Action! We got us a little ditty, 'bout Jack and Diane... err, Janet and Dan... two 'Merican kids growin' up in the Horde Land.
All the usual nonsense you've come to expect from Morituri Mondays is included as well, including a very off-putting, unfunny, and frustrating Pro-File of Terry Kavanagh... and more Speedball than you can shake a stick at, unless of course we were doing a Speedball-centric Podcast!
We hope you'll join us for the fun... and thank you for sticking with us during these odd times!

Cosmic Treadmill Presents... Comix Tawk, Episode 10: "Comic Scenes We Love!"
Sunday Jul 19, 2020
Sunday Jul 19, 2020
In this, honestly, rather novel episode of Comix Tawk... Reggie and I focus on the positive!
Rather than dwell on the machinations of an industry that a) we don't really understand, and b) has sorta-kinda passed us by; we take a trip down memory lane to discuss some of our very favorite scenes in all of comics history... or, at least the handful that came to mind in the hour-and-change we gave ourselves for this episode!
I'd love to hear some of your favorite scenes in all of comics! Let's turn each other on to awesome scenes and stories that we might've missed out on!

Questerdays: An EPIC ElfQuest Podcast, Episode 1 - ElfQuest #1 (8/85)
Thursday Jul 16, 2020
Thursday Jul 16, 2020
Shade and Sweet Water, Friends!
Today, rather than going BACK TO THE PAST... we're going to be taking a peek into the future. This is a pilot episode for the feature that will eventually replace Morituri Mondays on the podcasting schedule when we run out of issues of that series to talk about.
QUESTERDAYS will feature the Chris's (@Charlton_Hero & @AceComics) going through the Marvel-EPIC run of Cutter and Company's ORIGINAL QUEST. This is a series that means a lot to both of us, and we're very much looking forward to sharing this with you!
Follow along with us! Check out the entire Original Quest for free at http://www.elfquest.com/read/digitalEQ.html

For this week's (sorta-kinda dated) installment of Comix Tawk... Reggie and I take a look at a 10-Point Plan outlined by Brian Hibbs at the 2019 ComicsPRO Meeting, which he felt would keep the industry healthy (or perhaps even make it even healthier/actually healthy!). So, please spend an hour listening to a couple of guys with zero experience in comics retail, discuss a fella who's been "in the trenches" for decades!
The 10-Points we discuss here include:
Stop Mixing SKU’s
Sales Charts with a “penetration index” – # of accounts purchasing specific SKU’s
Abandon “meets or exceeds” thinking
Tie variant SKU’s to native base sales (1 variant per 20k sales)
Tie variants to percentage of publisher’s line (25%)
Shipping information in a box-by-box format, and review discounts and shipping
FOC locked no later than noon Fridays, including all aft and information otherwise 100% returnable
Every comic should be listed in PREVIEWS, not available only at FOC.
Data Summit to determine where and when to assign “Series Codes”
First three issues of every new series to be fully returnable from all publishers (including one-shots and mini-series)

Cosmic Treadmill Presents... Comix Tawk, Episode 8: Reboots
Sunday Jul 05, 2020
Sunday Jul 05, 2020
This time out, we went through the history of comic book reboots and relaunches... and the resulting law of diminishing returns. It's a frustratingly fun chat... have your cork-boards and red yarn at the ready and see if you can help US keep things straight!
