Welcome to part two of my conversation with Mr. Peter Rios . We spend the majority of the episode talking about New Teen Titans: Games (warning: spoilers) and our love of the New Teen Titans in general. Near the end, Peter talks about the fundraiser to send Julian Lytle to Morrisoncon , and then Peter discusses what’s coming next month from him. It’s not to be missed! Peter made my weekend by coho...

On the big show today is part one of a conversation I had with Peter Rios . If you don't know who Peter is, he is a founding member of the Comic Geek Speak podcast and overall comics aficionado.

After a couple of unsuccessful attempts to do this particular episode, here finally is the LBR podcast discussion, with a special guest, about The Avengers movie.

This episode I talk about four number 1 titles (ok, one is a number 0, but still) that I read recently: Hoax Hunters , Saga , Supercrooks , & Superbia . Then, I talk to a very special guest about our 2012 Emerald City Comicon experience. Thanks for listening!

Using Chris Roberson's public exit from DC as a springboard, we discuss the ethics of corporate contracts and what's fair to the creators (note: we are not lawyers). Then, at about the 59:30 mark, we discuss the four new Vertigo titles (Fairest, Saucer Country, Voodoo Child, & New Deadwardians). Thanks for listening!

I wanted to take a break from discussing DC titles (though, that's mostly what I collect, so why fight it? :)) so this episode I discuss with Travis the Image Comics series Halcyon (warning: we will discuss plot points and reveals). You'd think this would be a quick episode, but somehow Travis and I manage to talk for almost two hours about five issues! How did we ever get through 13 DC Comics iss...

Ok, normally, I would just post a list of stuff from the various publishers, but for this month's Previews , I did an audio version for the LBR podcast (58:03). I apologize in advance for the choppy/echo-y audio starting at about the 23 minute mark, though the bad spots come and go. I tried fixing the problem, but was not that successful, and I didn't want to rerecord more than half of the episode...

In anticipation of the new DC 52, Travis and I finish our discussion (1:34:55) about the end of the DCU as represented by Flashpoint #5, and transition into the DCnU with Justice League #1. Towards the end we discuss the price per page of our comics, and one of us gets pissed at Marvel (can you guess which one?). Also, we go totally fan boy with our discussion about Wonder Woman's new costume (pan...

Since it took me a little over two months to release a new episode, I now give you more comic talk goodness. Episode 7 was released a few days ago, and now Travis and I continue our conversation about some final DC titles. Specifically, we talk about the end to Birds of Prey , Justice League of America , Secret Six , Zatanna , and Batman . Being the talkative twosome that we are, we end up not jus...

After a bit of a break (apologies to my subscribers for that), we're back to talk about some (now old) news from Fan Expo and some of the final DC titles before the new 52 starts. Specifically this episode (1:00:20) we discuss Batman & Robin #26 and Batgirl #24. We spend so much time discussing Fan Expo news and those two titles that I decided to split up the conversation into multiple parts (whic...

For Episode 6 (1:26:55), Oddfellow and I talk about a great many things, despite the fact that we tried to talk about one thing in particular, but when you're having a great conversation sometimes you just go with the flow. :) Some things we discuss: The expanded Justice League line-up Event books More DC Relaunch reactions, especially regarding Justice League Dark and Deadman Retailer reaction to...

As soon as the news broke last week regarding the DC Comics relaunch , Mr. Oddfellow and I wanted to get together and talk about it.
