Graphic Novel of the Year

Ultimates Vol 2 - Mark Millar & Brian Hitch (Oversized Hardcover)

This shows the difference about being a show that doesent cover monthly comics. We loved this graphic novel to death but we might be alone in our 2007 pick. For one, if people did enjoy this as it was coming out they arent thinking about it in late 2007 at all. Secondly, many people dropped off this series back in 2006 due to lateness issues. As people who like our Marvel work in the oversized hardcovers we are able to look at the whole run as one big beautiful story and (mostly) ignore the lateness. When this 13 issue run is taken as a whole in this beautiful oversized format it is without a doubt the crowing achievement of Mark Millars career so far, and a resounding validation for the creation of the Ultimate Universe.


PS check out the awesome 2007 mash up outro by our very own DJ Strap-On!

Talksplosion Episode 11 "In which we finally fully become a dubstep podcast"

powered by ODEO

Samuel SOW: Wu Tang Clan - Unpredictable
Jeremiah SOW: Scorn - The Palomar

Sam likes the new Wu Tang but doesnt say that very clearly.

Jeremiah cant tell if JK Broadrick is ripping of Mick Harris for the title of proto-dubstep master or what.
Sam didnt love the Scorn song though, on re-listening, its not that bad.
Sam gets defensive about JK Broadrick.

Sam tries to convince Jeremiah on Burial once and for all. "Totally get all ideas of dancefloor out of your head" and then I play the most dancey song on the album. IRONIC conversation at its best. (Its a really bad argument honestly but Burial is good stuff and while I was annoying here the album still in my head should appeal to Jeremiah. )

COMICS

Sam and Jeremiah agree that X-Factor is one of the best classic X-Men style comic books in ages. if you like Noir, mutants stuff, and Peter David pick it up

Talksplosion Episode 10 "Special Edition: Ultimate Ramblefest"

powered by ODEO

So this is the second of our Ramblefest episodes this one is about the past and future of our favorite mainstream superhero universe Marvels Ultimate Universe. People who want to read some superheros without the crap while being written very well, you should listen in.

Next week I think we are back on track with regular episodes.

Episode 9 "Son of Whoops"

powered by ODEO

Jeremiahs SOW: Cex - Bolton Hill
Samuel SOW: Sightings - A Rest

This episode also had some major tech issues. No comics this week just the picks.

The Cex EP Exotical Privates is really good btw (and I'm not just saying that!)

we really need better outro's

Episode 8 "Special Edition: Definitive Ramblefest"

powered by ODEO

So this is a first of what I am calling our Ramblefest episodes.

When we decide to talk in length about a topic and wrap up all our opinions in one huge ramble. Its kind of a mess.

Losta good music on this one, but if you dont care about underground hip hop maybe you should wait for episode 9.
