After nearly 8 months away we are pleased to announce the return to your earholes of Eat Sleep Comics. New and not improved (unless you count Dan’s luxurious hair).

To kick off this new run we are starting with a “very special” issue recorded at Double Midnight Comics on Saturday, May 5; Free Comic Book Day!

In amongst the chaos of costumed characters and interviews Dan and Carlton do try to get in a regular show.

First up is all kinds of talk about Free Comic Book Day, including what it is and what was available.

Next up is Dan asking the question if, with The Avengers, Dark Knight Rises and Amazing Spider-Man, this isn’t the greatest summer in the history of comic book movies.

After that there’s a bit of talk about DCnU and how it’s been going for the last few months and they move on to talking about augmented reality coming to comics spurred by Dan’s new cellular telephone.

As if that wasn’t enough there are also interviews with Ben and Josh of Ben and Josh’s Near Mint Comic Show fame, Brett Parker who is one of the owners of Double Midnight Comics and interview and get interviewed by another podcast, Sci-Fi Saturday Night.

Enjoy and thanks for hanging in there.

Footnotes:

Carlton – Mouse Guard Hardcover

The Strange Ink Picture Show #35

Hey everyone, guess what we did with our Saturday night? We recorded a brand new episode! Jealous?

Anyways, for our first new episode in a few months we thought we’d start off with something easy, to get us back on track. The Avengers opens in less than a week so Dan and Greg discuss the fact that it has opened in many places around the world before opening in the US, which is a bit weird. They also talk about the box office records it is breaking overseas, the positive reaction to the Hulk in the film and a hearty congratulations to Joss Whedon for pulling it all off.

Nextly, they talk about Fox’s newly announced Animation Domination HD programming block and the first show announced, Axe Cop. It’s about a cop… with an axe. Though the story behind the comic it’s based on is very unique.

Last up they talk about the internet uproar over the showing last week at CinemaCon of 10 minutes of footage from Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit”. At issue is that instead of shooting the film at 24 frames per second (as movies are normally shot) it was shot at 48 frames per second making everything move far more smoothly (sounds better, right?). The reaction has not been positive.

 

Thing of the Week:

The Strange Ink Picture Show #34

On the show this week Dan and Greg start off by running down a few of the pilots that will be shooting soon for the upcoming TV season and talking about casting and stories (helloooo Beauty & the Beast) and the general lack of Superhero shows (excluding the Green Arrow show, which is a real thing). There’s also a bit of talk about the American Sherlock Holmes update which, I’m sure, won’t be at all like the British Sherlock Holmes update.

Next we move on to a story that kind of blowed out over the past few weeks involving Gary Friedrich and his lawsuit involving Marvel Comics and specifically the court ruling that caused a bit of panic among the comic convention crowds and artists alike.

Lastly we talk about the premiere the previous Sunday of the “reality” series “Comic Book Men” on AMC. Dan didn’t like it (and he has his reasons) and Greg did like it (and he has his reasons).

Thing of the Week:

Dan – Rustic Overtones – New Way Out

Greg – Ready Player One

On the show this week (our second in a row but, again, don’t get too used to it) Dan once again joins Greg and we start off with the big (old) news of the week: The Oscar nominations are out! Between the two, we’ve seen about 4% of these films which makes us completely qualified to discuss and criticize.

We talk about the plot of The Artist, the Cloons of The Descendants and the horror that is Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

Next we move onto talk of the potential Office spin-off starring the Dwight Schrute character and leads to talk of other spin-offs like Joey, Frasier, Laverne & Shirley and Joanie Loves Chachi.

Lastly, Dan is looking to become a cord cutter and brings to the table a list of viewing requirements which actually make it impossible for him (or I for that matter) to cut the cord. Thanks Major League Baseball!

Thing of the Week:

Dan – Transformers Prime Season 2

Greg – Misfits on Hulu
