Previews Spotlight #066 (Apr->Jun): Apr 5th, 5pm pacific

[BobBretall]

Previews should be coming out on Weds Mar 27th, which means our new earlier deadline for the Previews episode will be Saturday March 30th!! You'll be able to listen to that episode & discuss it on the the Previews call which will be on Friday Apr 5th at 5pm Pacific / 6pm Mountain / 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern.

As always, get on Skype around the start time (or join any time after, the call can run 4 hours of rousing comics chat) and look for BobBretall or theJohnMayo & message to get joined into the call.

Of course you can start sending in submissions as soon as you have them done, many solicits available NOW (links below). Sending them in early is appreciated as it give us more time to organize the clips and plan out the episode.

Discuss any of the new comics AND call dibs on reviewing any particular comic on this thread.

Remember: We encourage anyone to send in a short audio clip where they can talk about any book that's coming out in the upcoming Previews that they are really excited about. The email address to send the clips to is TheGuys@ComicBookPage.com. (Some people were only send them to either just John or just Bob and we both need to get them to prepare to recording the episode. By using TheGuys email address, the email goes to both Bob and John.)

PLEASE: Each featured item should be in a separate audio file.

If possible, please follow the naming convention of:
p###-[M###-]ItemName-YourName.mp3

p###-: the page number in Previews (ex: an item on page 80 would start with p080-
M###-: If the item is in the Marvel Previews, use the first even page number in Previews for Marvel with the page number in the Marvel Previews.
If the item is not in the Marvel Previews, skip the M###- part of the file naming convention.
ItemName: This is the name of the item, all we need is enough to determine which item on the page it is.
YourName: All we need here is enough to properly credit you before we play the clip in the episode.
Please do not include spaces in the filename. Not all of the tools we use to prep the clips for the episode handle spaces in filenames gracefully.

At the very least, please include the full name of the item in the filename so we can be sure it gets listed properly in the show notes. If you don't know the page number, that is fine. Just leave it off. But having the full name of the item the clip is for makes it much easier for us to organize the files and prepare for recording the episode.

Tips on how to record a clip can be found here.

Not my cup of tea, but I was very happy to see a little girl dragging her Mom into the comic shop this past Saturday so she could buy the latest My Little Pony comic. Anything to get kids in the habit of coming to the comic shop.
Applause to IDW!!!

Uh-oh ... X-O MANOWAR #13?

It would be X-O Manowar #14, not #13. Looks like Bob missed it when going through the information. As far as I know, he hasn't dropped the title.

[Perry]

It would be X-O Manowar #14, not #13.

I thought as much, but I was just going by the Valiant solicit from the link Bob has above ...



But yes, I am sure it was just left off his list by mistake.

[JohnMayo]

I was going by the consumer order form which listed #14. The March order form has #13. They may have gotten the issue number wrong in the information Bob linked to.

At first, it seemed like a repeat solicit, but the picture of the cover (8-bit version) has a #14 on it, so it was just a typo, I guess.

I'm still getting X-O.

Heading to Atlanta for a boys weekend and the Final Four. Our team (Indiana) was eliminated last night so it will be a little less fun than we hoped but should be a good time anyway.

Regarding the earlier recording of the Previews episode: Although I haven't submitted a clip in awhile the earlier recording time would probably preclude me from doing any in the future. I'm not interested in looking up solicits online and since I received the previews catalog only a few days before the deadline for clip submission, I probably wouldn't have the time to read previews and select some solicits for recording.

my 2 cents.
