Chris and Reggie's Cosmic Treadmill

Reggie's Comics Stories ep. 4 - Bob Wood: Crime Does Not Pay, Eventually

Hey folks! In this episode of Reggie's Comics Stories, I bring you the salacious and tragic tale of Bob Wood, against the backdrop of a New York City that was a lot less put-together than was shown in contemporary media of the time! Except perhaps in that true crime magazine co-created by Wood himself, Crime Does Not Pay. It's a tale of vice, sex, and crime––and that's only what's contained in the four-color pages! Enjoy!

Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 116 - Action Comics Weekly: Green Lantern Part Three (1988/89)

Welcome back, comics enthusiasts! In this episode, our weary weekly warriors Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) continue their look at the Green Lantern stories included in Action Comics Weekly, tackling issues #624 to #635 from 1988 and 1989! Consisting of one long story written by Christopher Priest and drawn by M.D. Bright, our calendar-efficient pair tackle every sweet second of Hal Jordan's dalliance with Captain Atom, and his meeting a three-hundred year-old ring-bearer named Malvolio! It's the only time this character ever appeared in comic books, so you won't want to miss it!

Cosmic Treadmill Special: Young Animal "Gatherum", Episode 15

"Don't know what you've got, til it's gone" - A Disney Princess (we think)
It was with this flurry of episodes that Chris (@acecomics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) learned that the Young Animal imprint was going to draw to a close just three months later.  It was bittersweet news, to say the very least... but somehow, we managed to keep our will to live.

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 4: Justice League America #52 (1991) PLUS: The Story of Super-Blog Team-Up!

Yes... we're only four episodes in... it's another bwah-ha-ha book, but there's a special reason for that.  And really, that's not the meat and potatoes of this episode anyway.  This time out, Chris (@acecomics) is joined by another Chris... Chris Bailey (@Charlton_Hero) of the SuperHero Satellite who shares the origins of the Mighty Super-Blog Team-Up!
After Chris (the usual one) discusses his first offering to #SuperBlogTeamUp, Chris (the other one) shares his comic book "secret origin"!  From his early days, reading coverless comics that missed the trash can... to his introduction to the internet comics community. 
Then... the main event, from the germ of an idea of a blogging crossover, to what became the Super-Blog Team-Up!
All that... plus, a special announcement!  It's a great time... check it out!
(The Super-Blog Team-Up content begins at timestamp 21:04)
