Our Main Discussion is Preacher, with weeklies being GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1 and What We’ve Been Reading.
In a shocking twist, everything you thought you knew about this podcast has changed. Instead of recording on a friday, we did it on a wednesday. Instead of me being hungover as I write up the show notes, I am instead, mildly drunk. And instead of reviewing a classic comic that we all love unconditionally, we review Garth Ennis’ “Preacher” with art from Steve Dillon.
Oh we all agree that the story and characterization are very very good, but we get into a bit of discussion regarding the central themes and style of the series, specifically around the way Ennis writes (um, graphically), and how that affects the overall tone of the story.
We also take some time to delve into our favorite characters, where we were mentally when we read the series, and of course our favorite moments.
From there we talk weeklies, this time going with a group pick of “GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY”, a spinoff of the annihilation conquest miniseries. What was originally intended to be a panel by panel read through of one of the best comics we’ve all read in recent memory somehow devolves into an elaborate wager regarding who is going to betray the team, and which members of the team will most likely be killed in the process.
All of which means I’m probably going to be swindled into reviewing something involving my fictional nemesis Jason Todd.
From there we decide to give a quick rundown of the books we’ve been reading that we like (far too many to list here friends).
We’ll be returning to our regular format and schedule after wizard world philly, where charles and I will be making our exceptional presences known.

Welcome to the first, and depending on amount of effort I put into it possibly last, edition of Graphic Detail Backmatter.
Depending on just how bored you are or just how enthralled by our antics you are, you may have found yourself wondering exactly what goes into the making of an episode of Graphic Detail. Well, this is your chance to find out!

The Detailers Discuss 52, DC Universe 0, House of Mystery #1, Mighty Avengers #13, and X-Factor: The Quick and The Dead
Remember a time before event burnout? When crossovers didn’t have to have banners or skrull chins or Jason Fucking Todd in them?
No?
I don’t blame you it’s been awhile.
Which is why this time out we’re discussing the weekly bowl of awesome soup cooked up by DC’s all star writing team of Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid: 52.
(also a boatload of artists. Literally a boatload. The name of the boat was the S.S.Howthehellarewedoingthisonaweeklyschedule.)
Randal and I read the series when it was coming out in real time, and Charles has read it in trade, we discussed the difference of the weekly serial in the two formats, then went on to talk about our favorite (Animal man, The Question and Montoya, Ralph Dibny) and least favorite arcs (Steel, The Crime Bible, Steel, Steel, and Steel)
before wrapping it up with favorite moments and some good old fashioned COUNTDOWN BITCHING!
Then we kick it to the biweeklies with the suavest segue ever seen on a podcast ever as we discuss DC UNIVERSE #0: Ignoring just about everything other than the return of Barry Allen and what it could mean for the Flashes versus what we want to happen for the Flashes.
We’re obsessed.
HOUSE OF MYSTERY #1: Charles’ pick for the week, an anthology type book put out by vertigo with the main story written by Matthew Sturges and the middle story by none other than Bill Willingham. Charles liked it, I was happy to see an old school EC style horror book on the rack, but want to know more about the story framing the anthology, and Negative Nancy Randal already condemns it as boring and under-developed.
After the first issue.
THE MIGHTY AVENGERS #13: Fury is back and is doing what Fury does (namely, sticking a large amount of asses in a sack, and then kicking the shit out of the sack, a sack of asses).
The new arc seems to show the behind the scenes activities of our favorite Colonel as he assembles a super secret spy team to combat the skrull invasion. But will Bendis…Bendis this up?
X-FACTOR: THE QUICK AND THE DEAD: Quicksilver gets his powers back after moaning in a cell with two frat guys (apparently), and we begin to discuss whether or not he deserves it and if he is really a hero or just a white haired douche, when Randal’s phone dies. Leaving Charles and a drunken Stin to close out the podcast.

PHILLY! In a couple of weeks where Charles and I will be enjoying convention goodness
HUNGOVER! What I am right now, so I’m out kids.
