10 Things I Learned at C-Mart

So C-Mart, an overstock store twenty miles of Baltimore, has a lot of comics – a lot of comics. Something like 90,000 and they selling them all for a buck a piece. We’re talking early 70’s through early 90’s. I went by last Sunday and grabbed a stack. Now, these comics are chock full of useful tidbits and information. Here are just a few things I have learned.

1) There is no one colder about death than Karate Kid.


2) Except maybe Geo-Force


3) Big Barda: So Scampish


4) If the Marvel heroes would have been saved a lot of grief if they had just listened to Blue Beetle.


5) Not all pets are bad.


6) Booster Gold is one heck of a progressive thinker.


7) Should I ever become a villain, I know what not to name myself.


8) Speaking of villains, Halo’s are the dastardliest.


9) Sometimes Blackhawk asks a little too much of his men.


10) The best time to have a “man chat” about past relationships is when you’re half naked doing yoga.

PODCAST FUN

Hello out there in Internetland-


So I know I haven't posted a lot recently, you know the whole wedding thing. Also, there has been one other thing that has occupied my time, editing the Big Monkey Podcast. That's right, fifty-one minutes and eleven seconds of pure comic talk fun.

Click here to listen.

As soon as I can figure out how to set up an RSS feed it will be available on iTunes as well.

The contributers, other than my stammering self, as follows:

• Devon Sanders of Seven Hells
• Scipio Garling of The Absorbascon
• Jon Brooks of Jon Hex Lives
• Jon Carey of Face Down in the Gutters

It was total fun to do and we have another one scheduled to record this Thursday so expect an update sometime this weekend.

Any comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks for listening
