For John, what did you think overall of the Jonny Quest series? Did it stick the ending for you? Will you consider picking up the Space Ghost/Jonny Quest series? I enjoyed the Jonny Quest storyline and I do think Joe Casey has a good handle on who the characters ( how they speak and interact) but just wish the stories were set in that 1964 timeframe that I enjoy so much from the cartoon series.

For James, did you read/finish the Conan Battle of the Black Stone miniseries and did the story and ending work for you? Are you through with the “Black Stone” story arc and ready to move on to a new story line like I am?

Are either of you going to be getting the new Hanna-Barbera Herculoids series from Dynamite?

A few questions:

1-I was talking about Batman’s softer fatherly side in Batman and Robin with my brother recently - you prefer your Batman dour and hrrmmm-ey or you like the kinder gentler Bruce? What your favorite era/characterization of Bruce/Batman?

2-How do you feel about anthologies? You tend to read or skip? Any favorites? I like them sometimes but seems The longer they are the Less I connect with the majority of stories

3-between Beneath the trees, animal Pound, Usagi and animal castle-I’m loving anthropomorphic comics these days - you enjoy animal comics too or tend to pass on them?

4-between DCs flatline and Marvels Jackpot - we’ve got some interesting new characters recently - who are some of your favorite new comic character creations in recent years?

I’m a little bit late on this, but wanted to ask what you thought of the weekly Phantoms story arc by Mark Waid in Action Comics #1070-1081. Did you enjoy it? Do you think that they used the Phantom Zone story part well? And what about Mon-El’s part in the story. Do you think his characterization was consistent with the character’s history and was he used well in the story in your opinion?

James posted on the Slack that a Monthly Comics Spotlight episode was being recorded soon. Hopefully my questions make it in time.

1. How would you summarize your comic book reading experience for Q1 of 2025? Did you notice any discernible patterns?

2. With the success of properties such as Transformers, Thundercats, GI Joe, and Gatchaman, which televisions series (live action or animated series) should be brought back as a comics series? And which publisher should oversee the property?

3. With Free Comic Book Day quickly approaching, have looked at the list of books being offered this year? If so, which ones are high on your list to read?
