The DC Bloodlines Podcast: Anima attacks the New Titans

Look for us on iTunes, ShoutEngine or directly download an art-tagged MP3 from the Internet Archive

Sigh. It's time to deal with Courtney Mason, the heroine of The New Titans Annual #9 and her own sixteen issue series, Anima (we cover the first two issues.) Created by novelists Elizabeth Hand & Paul Witcover, Anima was one of the highest profile and powerful New Bloods, but also one of the most painful to actually read. Hope the riot grrrl soundtrack helps us get through this one. You can follow along with our reading of the annual at Scans Daily.

2015 Oberon Amazing Houston Comic Con Jam Sketch Detail by Johnny J. Segura III

Oberon was created by Jack Kirby in 1971 as a circus performer who becomes the sidekick of Mr. Miracle. He's likely better known for tagging along with Scott Free when he joined Justice League International, and becoming such a beloved supporting member that he stayed on even after Miracle moved on. Oberon is one of my favorite characters from JLI, and I loved how he played off Max Lord, J'Onn J'Onzz, & Bea da Costa. I'd love to see him hang out with those characters again! Despite a lack of space and a lot of surrounding characters crowding him further, Oberon looks swell here!

The DC Bloodlines Podcast: Argus and Flash

Look for us on iTunes, ShoutEngine or directly download an art-tagged MP3 from the Internet Archive

The (finally bi-weekly as originally intended) podcast (not really) dedicated to DC's New Bloods returns (for a second "season" of indefinite length after a one-off in Spring 2015 & four episodes in April)! We're (actually only one person involved) back with a show that was 100% completed on May ‎15th but left on the shelf for nearly five months because Frank got distracted by the next shiny object (specifically, four Martian Manhunter podcasts for a JLA: Year One crossover rather belatedly advertised within.) But hey, it's funner and longer than usual with lots of goofy voices and bad acting processed through lame filters!

Our subject is Nick Kovak, one of the most "successful" (highly relative usage here) of the New Bloods as the stealth vigilante with vision powers, Argus! As an advantageous byproduct of his mostly appearing in Flash comics written by his co-creator Mark Waid during the arguable heyday of Wally West's run, we'll get to touch on some actual well liked comics for a change! This episode covers The Flash Annual #6, spotlight segments from Bloodbath Special #2, & Flash #86 (with notes related to #92-100, the introduction of Impulse and the "Terminal Velocity" arc.) Oh, and a brief nod to the world's most famous French-Canadian, in honor of Bass & Siskoid. You can follow along with our reading of the annual at Scans Daily.
