Issue #123: Are Superhero Comics Killing the Industry? | Comic Book Podcast
Another week, another show, but this time we’re minus one podcaster as Steve steps out. This week’s topic comes from the speech that Image Comics publisher Eric Stephenson said at a ComicsPRO meeting upon accepting an award. We discuss what his comments imply, what they mean, our thoughts on them and the reactions from Dark Horse’s Mike Richardson and IDW’s Ted Adams.
In the first half of the show, we talk news in the world like the talks about Wonder Woman’s movie costume, Skottie Young’s Rocket Raccoon, Batman: Arkham Knight, Paul Levitz heading over to Boom Studios and Lena Dunham upcoming Archie mini-series.
And then, because we’re creatures of habit, we discuss our favourite books from the last week. Some of those books include: Royals: Masters of War, The Wake, Mighty Avengers, Lois Lane, Fantastic Four and more.
Annnnnnnnnnd… we say it on the show, but just in case you missed it, the Talking Comics crew on Twitter are:
Bobby: @bobbyshortle

Stephanie: @hellocookie
And Bob’s email is bobreyer@talkingcomicbooks.com

Enjoy!
