Previews Spotlight #028 (Feb->Apr): Fri Feb 5th: 5pm pac

[BobBretall]

The new Previews should hit the stands on Wed Jan 27th, this means we'll do the Previews call on Friday Feb 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 thejohnmayo message him to get joined into the call.

Submissions for the Previews Spotlight #028 show should be in by the end of Friday Feb 5th

Of course you can start sending in submissions as soon as you have them done. Sending them in early is appreciated as it give us more time to organized the clips and plan out the episode.

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.

We would also appreciate it if you put the page number followed by the full name of the item in the filename. 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.

I will start slow with one submission this month and choose:


Avengers: The Origin


Audacity is downloaded and I am ready to try. I wanted to go with the theme: one Marvel, one DC and one other, but I thought I might work towards that if I can actually get off my butt and submit my first one.

At first glance I'd like to do in the DC section:

DOC SAVAGE: THE MAN OF BRONZE TP
NEIL YOUNG’S GREENDALE HC

May have more after my copy of Previews arrives.

If anybody else would like, feel free to take.

[yensid4disney]

Star Wars Omnibus: Long time ago vol 1
Marvel Premiere: Infinity Gauntlet

We've got that Doc Savage trade on our list to talk about, Jonah. You can do it if nothing else strikes your fancy, but if more stuff fills in, give that one a miss. Thanks.

My bad. All yours. Just wanted to make sure it was covered for the novelty of Marvel Stories being packaged into a DC Trade.

[Lord Shaper]

Ok I've got my list ready:

Super Friends #26
DV8: Gods and Monsters #1
Do Anything Volume One
Dawn Trading Cards
Legend The Enchanted
Darth Reven Mini Bust

EXACTLY the reason we picked it!

[dbm]

Wow, good stuff listed so far. This is going to be an expensive month for me or is that ?

Anyway

I'm going to cover:

Wilson HC
Sword of my Mouth GN
Bodyworld HC

maybe another, I'll post if so.

Is anyone doing Red Tide? I'm curious about that one.

Also, Bob and John, when you cover Elephantmen, let me know why I should pick up the hardcovers over the softcovers. After reading several issues I've decided to pick the rest up in one form or the other.

HC vs. SC is mostly a matter of preference. While more expensive, the HCs are more durable. If you're just looking to read something, the SC is the way to go. If you want something enduring on your bookshelf that will last, I'd say go for the HC.

I'll try to remember to discuss this when we talk about this on the show.

I'm still trying to chase down a few of the issues before I read the series. I think I need issues 2, 16 and 23 but I'd have to check my notes at home on which issue I need.

Thanks, I just wasn't sure if there were content or size differences as well. The sc vs. hc for this series don't seem to be in sync.
