We open this episode with a salute to Berks County, Pa.'s late, lamented local treasure, artist Dan Adkins. We close it with webcomic artist Jamie Noguchi (Yellow Peril), who joins us to discuss his Kickstarter campaign, and an interview with Mr. Adkins from the CGS Archives. Somewhere in between, we address the official green-lighting of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series; the upcoming DCU/Masters of the Universe crossover; and the latest 'New 52' DC titles to suffer cancellation. (1:37:56)

The DC/MotU crossover came out of nowhere, seems like this is a push to get the He-Man book more visibility. Giffen has done decent job of writing MotU so far and I'm sure he'll do fine with this. Dexter Soy was the first artist on the the Carol Danvers Captain Marvel book at Marvel and I like his work. Didn't expect the crossover, I don't know why it's happening, but will be on my pull list.
@Murd, thank you for the Monty Python reference there, made my day. Kudos to all the folks putting forth help to keep the Crisis Tapes alive.
Good luck to Jamie Noguchi on the kickstarter.
Mr. Adkins, thank you for your contibution to the comics industry, rest in peace.
You produce new episodes quickly, there isn't much foolishness, and what silliness that does make it in is warranted. You can tell you guys know your stuff and the episodes are well-produced with good sound quality. It's obvious that you guys have a lot of fun and it doesn't come across that you're prideful or nervous in front of the microphones.
Personally, I enjoy the 'Spotlight On..." episodes and thought the Spider-Man episodes were very fun. I was wondering when the next Spotlight On The X-Men and Spotlight On the Avengers were coming? The last ones focused on the Silver Age in episodes 1339 & 1340 from back in February.
The Spotlight on The Avengers in the Bronze Age Part One was released back at the end of March. Part two has already been recorded along with the X-Men in the Bronze Age. They will be released at
the end of May/early June when we take some time off from recording due to Memorial Day and traveling to the Denver Comic Con and Heroes Con.
Might I suggest for your consideration the following for future "Spotlight On..." episodes: Hulk, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Thor, Daredevil, Silver Surfer (or all of the Marvel Cosmic i.e. Killraven, Warlock, Guardians of the Galaxy, et al), and maybe some DC heroes like Superman, Batman, Flash, and others.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you continue to review material that you guys are passionate about and enjoy reading, otherwise it wouldn't be so much fun for us to listen to. Thanks and keep it up guys.
I will catch those others online sometime. It's just become a habit to listen on my phone while cutting the grass or in the car or setting a sleep timer as I am going to bed.
I don't want to hijack this thread talking about old episodes or future episodes. I still need to listen to #1370, so in the meantime, thanks again for the great podcasts @Pants!
and to confirm : no delays when using the PC
I'm also really looking forward to more of the Spotlight episodes. I cringe at what you'll say about X-Men in the '90s (c'mon, it ain't THAT bad!) but can't wait to hear it!
