I’ve decided to take a swing at podcasting. There’s just one episode so far but I have already started to record content for the next one.

The first episode is a little under a half-hour long. Most of the comics I talk about are old, the cartoons are more recent but not exactly brand new.

Here’s a preview of what I discuss:

• All-Star Squadron Annual 1
• Ambush Bug Mini-Series
• Captain America & the Falcon v3: The Swine
• The Falcon Limited Series
• Tintin: The Black Island
• Adventure Time
• Batman Beyond
• Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends

Appreciation: Joe Kubert

Today and for the past 25 years, give or take, I've loved the expressive way Joe Kubert illustrates. I didn't always feel this way about his work. If I remember correctly it was the cover to All-Star Squadron #2 that changed my mind about Kubert's illustrations.

I was looking at it for the umpteenth time when I began to see things in the lines that he put down on the page that I hadn't seen before: motion and expression. After that I went back and re-examined all the other covers to All-Star Squadron that Kubert did. Some I liked more than others but the switch had been flipped. I got it. I understood why people liked his drawings so much or at least learned to appreciate them for own reasons.
