Here's my remaining reads to reach 30 for this month: 25. 52 #49 26. The New Avengers #29 27. The Avengers(v.3) #57 28. The Avengers(v.3) #67 29. The Avengers(v.3) #68 30. 52 #50 ...And I went through with reducing my pull list by dropping 3 Marvels: New Avengers, X-Factor, and Captain America. These are just a few of the comics I have quit over the last few months-- partially due to financial reasons and partially due to disgust over Civil War. I really hated to quit X-Factor; that was more of an economic cut. I will tell you some good Marvel reading, however: I picked up Essential Amazing Spider-man vol.1. I have read many of the stories within this book, but there are still plenty of great stories I haven't read. Ditko does some fine work, of course, but I was really digging the short Spidey story that Jack Kirby draws at the end of one of the issues.

Episode 50!!! Join the fun as I feature audio comments and reviews by my wife, Jessica; Dan; JJ; Pat; and Bruce from KomicsKast. I talk about my brief time (and comic-buying) in North Carolina. I do a big back issue review of Superman Family #167, Bruce tackles a Marvel Boy story from the Marvel Masterworks: Atlas Era Heroes, and Pat talks about Robin #156. Fun is had by all. Huzzah. This episode contains a few words that are generally not considered polite in all company. You see, some folks are afraid of words. Silly humans...

Superboy #180. As any listener of the show knows, I have a weakness for the old Superman/Superboy comics. This is another one of the first 100 or so comics I owned (and still do, of course). It was bought at a yard sale with a handful of others. This comic is a thrilling 48 pages (no small amount when you're a kid), with two fun Superboy tales and a Legion of Super-heroes reprint (probably the first Legion story I ever read, featuring the origin of Bouncing Boy). Definitely sunshine-n-smiles memories over this one...

I'm sure you've all heard by now that Arnold Drake, of Doom Patrol fame, and Marshall Rogers, noted for Batman and many more, have died. Quite a few comics creators have passed away in the last 6 months. Each time I hear of another, I tend to feel more sadness about them than a thousand Anna Nicoles.
