It is time for another Creator's Corner! This time with local Sacramento storytellers, David Andry and Christopher Alvarez. Even though we've knows these fellas for a while we got to chat with them about there background and influences. But more importantly we got to talk DEAD BLOOD, there new comic book (live on Kickstarter now)!!!
BACK DEAD BLOOD NOW!
Comics of the 90's; bold, bodacious, ground breaking, and most of all, FUN! Dead Blood is Christopher Alvarez and David Andry's (Resonant, End After End) wild take on this beloved genre of comics. Filled with big guns, wild characters, colors by Bruno Furlani (Troy and Crash) that blast off the page, and letters by Micah Myers (DC, Image, Dark Horse) this first issue introduces Cull, our beefy protagonist, along with Rip, the ghostly remnant of his vestigial twin brother. They fight against necromantic gangs who want to harvest the living to gain dark powers. Our first issue is 24 pages, 18 pages of our main story...
Dead Blood double page spread
... and a 6 page backup origin story featuring Rip and Cull playing everyone's new favorite sport, Allball! Art by Adam Cahoon (The Nasty) colors by Matt Harding (All the Devils are Here) and letters by Micah Myers (DC, Image, Dark Horse).

The boys are back with a impromptu Debrief, now with 27% more bullshit! In this episode give their thoughts (spoiler free) on the Mario Bros & D&D movies, wish Superman a happy birthday, ask Google's new AI what it thinks of them, and probably a few other things.

Welcome back, Geeksploronauts!!!
For their glorious return, the boys decided to go back to where it all began: Time Travel. What better way to do it than to join a kid and a wild eyed scientist on their journeys through the space time continuum. Buckle up. When this podcast hits 88mph, you’re gonna see some serious sh**!

Oh, hello there. It has been a while, but we're back baby!! It was a nice break but we are ready to get back in the game (albeit not quite as veraciously as before). We figured we would start with a good old fashion debrief the way we originally intended. So it is more of a chat with less rapid fire geek news topics. That said here are the topics:
Time stamps
Intro/plans for the future (00:00)
James Gunn's DCEU announcement (09:46)
Wizards of the Coast's January shit show (35:20)

We are briefly back to take a hiatus from our hiatus! A couple things happened in the Geekosphere that we just had to talk about. First we lost the absolute legend, Kevin Conroy. This hit both of us pretty hard. Second Weird: The Al Yanchovic Story came out. And don't worry, we'll warn you before we get into spoiler territory. So it is a bit of a bittersweet episode.

He there loyal Geeksploronauts! Jon and I were out of town last week and a bit jammed up this week. So today's episode is yet again not an episode, but we did want to put out a call to arms. Next week is going to be our 4 year podiversary! It is hard to believe that it has been that long, but calendars don't lie (except for the Mayan one about that whole world ending in 2012 thing)! We would love to hear from you! If you have a minute and have enjoyed the show please leave us a voicemail at (916) ORC-TURD! It can be about why you listen, what you enjoy about the show, or just about something rad you've done in the last 4 years.
Thank you to every last one of you for listening. We know there are a dizzying array of entertainment options out there, and the fact that we made the cut for anyone still boggles out minds.

Hey everyone, this week the boys were all jammed up stuffing comics into boxes to fulfill the Space Oddities #2 Kickstarter and they pretty much forgot to pick a topic. So they fell back on old reliable, comic books. In this episode Jon & Ben go over the current comics they have been enjoying, a few titles they are on the fence about, and just a couple disappointments. If your headed to your LCS and are interested in some spoiler free recommendations (only a couple of which are from the big two), then this is the episode for you! And if you don't give a shit about comics, then we won't fault you for skipping it.
