Greeting, b-boys and b-girls! In this episode, culture vultures Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) explore the earliest days of hip-hop music and culture when they read Ed Piskor's Hip-Hop Family Tree #1, published by Fantagraphics in 2015! After talking about Ed Piskor's rising career, our music historians go through every page of this issue, lending their improbable voice talent to these actual persons. After a short break, they come back to talk a little bit about New York, to help situate the uninitiated listener and explain some of the reasons why hip-hop developed where and when it did. This episode is sure to have you doing windmills into a backspin, you don't want to miss it!
REGGIE'S NOTE: Apologies for the sound quality of my voice. I just moved into a new place and there's a lot of echo. Pretend it's a vocal effect.

Welcome to the fourth installment of the Sandman Universe Gatherum... where (in at least two of our titles) the decompression really starts to set in.

Good Day, Fellow Professors of Extra-Dimensional Studies! This time out, Chris (@acecomics) is joined by his good pal, Dave Schultz (@SellingOutShow) to discuss a very special issue of DC Comics Presents featuring a team-up (of sorts) between Superman and Swamp Thing!
From there, Dave shares his comics "Secret Origin" and gives Chris a guided tour of his Swamp Thing fandom! It's quite the education for your humble host!

Greeting, citizens of Central City! In this episode, comics enthusiasts Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) look at the hobby of comics collecting--as depicted in a comic book, when we read The Flash #268 by Cary Bates and Irv Novick, published in 1978! After the usual biographical information, our plodding speedsters go through every page of the issue and try to figure out what makes The Flash vol. 1 #26 just so darned special! After a little break, our bin-divers discuss the Golden Age issue in question, and then look at a history of cosplay and costuming. You don't want to miss this one, don't let it teleport away!

Good Morning, Somnolent Strangers... it's time for another compilation of Sandman Universe Discussions.
We are about at the half-way point of our initial "weekly blitz" of episodes. In around three weeks time, we'll be all caught up to DC/Vertigo... at which point, this program will likely become more of a monthly feature.
We hope you're all still enjoying these little sleepwalks into The Dreaming!

Hello folks! In this episode of Reggie's Comics Stories, Reggie (@reggiereggie) attempts to overcome a lingering sickness to bring you an interview with artist John Mejias, who is coming to a close on his graphic novel The Puerto Rican War--a work wherein all the panels are done in woodcut! Reggie muses about the line between fine art and comics, and then tries to talk up Mr. Mejias without gushing over how much he likes the work. And fails. But don't let that stop you from checking out this book when it comes out!
Be sure to visit John Mejias' Instagram! @john_vasquez_mejias

Hello, berserkers! In this episode, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) check out a more recent offering by Marvel Comics: Indestructible Hulk #12 by Mark Waid and Matteo Scalera! After the usual biographical information, they talk about what brought Bruce Banner and his verdant alter ego into the employ of S.H.I.E.L.D., and catch the listener up to the very moment that they read the issue in question. After that, our completionists tell the rest of the Indestructible Hulk's story--right up to its final issue! After a short discussion of Old Norse berserkers and the positions they played in the military, our pair read some listener mail! This episode packs a punch strong enough to wallop a dinosaur, you don't want to miss it!
Thanks to Alex Martin for the suggestion!

In this second "compilation" episode, the gang's all here as we welcome Lucifer and Books of Magic into the fold, and continue along with The Dreaming and House of Whispers (already in progress).
Will Lucifer's nebulous storytelling, and Books of Magic's decompressed to the Nth degree nature be enough to spoil the party? Listen in... and find out!
