The Comics on Comics crew was in San Diego for this year’s Comic-Con International and it was an… interesting show to say the least. We met a lot great people down there, from fans and professionals to our podcasting peers. And we want to thank everyone for making the convention such a terrific experience!
If this is your first visit to CoC, here’s a quick primer: Comics on Comics is a live show recorded in Los Angeles, where we bring stand-up comedians and comic book creators together for a round-table discussion of the latest comic book news. The show is then posted here on our website and on iTunes. Previous guests have included Geoff Johns, Wendy Pini, Brian Lynch and David Gerrold. Our next episode will be taped later this month, with date, location and guests to be announced soon…
In between our live shows, we conduct interviews with comic book creators at conventions, signings and live events. Todd McFarlane, Jeff Smith, Brad Meltzer and Joe Hill are just a few of the creators we’ve profiled since the launch of CoC. And we have several new interviews coming up soon, including one with Jeph Loeb which will go up later today.
Before I sign off, I just want to give a shout out the guys at Comic Geek Speak! Juan and I are among the guests for the first episode of their Comic-Con coverage. Basically, a large group of comic podcasters went out to dinner at a place called the Tilted Kilt where portions of our conversations were recorded and edited together for the show. It’s a little disjointed, but it was a lot of fun. Check it out!
In our astonishing fifth episode, legendary sci-fi writer David Gerrold (Star Trek, Land of the Lost, Sliders) joins artist Tone Rodriguez (Violent Messiahs, Undead Task Force), filmmaker Chris Brandt (Independents: A Documentary Guide to the Independent Spirit) and comedian Asterios Kokkinos (National Lampoon, Cracked Magazine) for a new round of comics and comedy!
In this episode, taped at The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach, Comics on Comics host Robbie Peron leads the star-packed panel in a discussion of the merits of Hellboy II, the controversial Memin Pinguin, the Ghostbusters manga from Tokyopop, the DC/Wildstorm X-Files comic, DC’s upcoming film strategy and David Gerrold’s many, many projects …

Every month, dozens of books are released, sometimes with five different covers. What's in a cover? Well, comics are one of the few mediums where we can literally judge a book by its cover. Sure, the art on the inside may not be by the same artist, and often times probably not even close to the same quality. But, what is it that attracts us to a book we've never noticed before? Exactly – the cover. This month's Honorable Mention: Adam Hughes' Catwoman #81.
