That is surprising but it was bound to happen sooner or later.Wood wrote: For the first time in a long time, if not ever, I didn't buy any of the books you discussed on an episode.
Understandable. I sort of figured it would be a kind of pointless one shot. I was very pleased that they actually used it to tell a Hawkman story "that matters" if you know what I mean.Wood wrote: The Hawkman thing just missed my radar. I figured it for some random one-shot and I generally don't buy those pre-order. I will pick this up before I leave for vacation in anticipation of having some extra stuff to dig.
The X-23 was really good. I second that recommendation.Wood wrote: I really didn't care for the original NYX, so I passed on this despite being a rabid mutant nut. NYX, the original, gave us X-23. I hated her at first, but she went from being someone I despised to one of my favorite new characters in the Kyle/Yost X-23 mini series. For those always looking for inexpensive $1 bin finds, the X-23 series is well worth it.
The IDW Star Trek books are off a lot of people's radar. Some of them are really good. Others are just okay. But,yeah, if you aren't into Star Trek, there is really no point in getting them.Wood wrote: And I've never been a big Trekkie, so those IDW books are way off my radar.
I look forward to hearing what you think of the Hawkman Special once you've read it.Wood wrote: Either way, good episode, and listening to it made me eager to try Hawkman on for size.
I'm really happy with the episodes we've done over the past year. Bob is an excellent cohost and we're having fun doing the show. And it seems that our listeners are enjoying the show too.Wood wrote: Also, CONGRATS on the 1-year anniversary. That's phenomenal and to think you've never missed a week. You guys are MACHINES.
But what I'm really pleased with is the fact that we've helped some people find some new titles that they like and that some of our listeners have returned the favor. I've got a number of titles on my list that weren't there a year ago.
