Tons and tons of comedians performing shorter sets of fanboy-themed material.
Since December, 2007 ”Comics and Comics” has been entertaining crowds at Meltdown Comics and Collectibles in Hollywood with the nerdiest, geekiest stand-up comedy imaginable. While not the first or the only stand-up show performed in a comic book shop, “Comics and Comics” is unique in that the material presented within the show covers topics of interest to people who would be patronizing such a store to begin with: comic books, movies, videogames, role-playing, action figures, etc. The show was created by stand-up veteran Tom Franck who can claim the ultimate nerd comedian status as an appearance in Green Lantern 143 labeled him as the top comedian in the DC universe. The comedians on the show are not only some of the funniest working today, but also have the geek street cred to enable them to remain on theme throughout their sets.

Meltcast 43: Mark Sable, False Start’s Meredith Wallace, Zines, Kickstart Comics, The Boys, Casanova and some Namor love
We’re down two men as Caleb is a prisoner of the legal system, while the Hammer is in aerial transit. However, we’re picked up by returning fave Mark Sable (writer: Two-Face: Year One, Grounded, Unthinkable, Hazed), and False Start ‘zine proprietress Meredith Wallace (http://www.false-start.com/). Meredith talks about how the web introduced her to DIY/Feminist ‘zine culture, how she started False Start after college, and some of her recent favorites, like INVINCIBLE SUMMER, ALABAMA GIRL #9, & LOVE LETTERS TO MONSTERS #3. Mark enlightens us on his new ventures with Kickstart Comics (and Kickstart’s unique distribution model), which begin with his new comic RIFT RAIDERS w/artist Julian Totino Tedesco (out in comic shops mid-October, pre-order today!).
The show then delves to the deep as Chris tells tales of the Avenging Son thanks to The Sub-Mariner’s new series debut- NAMOR: THE FIRST MUTANT - we discuss King Namor’s history, past series, and the first bromance of the Marvel U with Mr. Macenzie and Doc Doom. We rise from the depths to tackle STUMPTOWN #4, THE BOYS, BATTLEFIELDS, as well as Matt Fraction’s CASANOVA.
Music: Thrice – Open Water / Norma Jean – Leaderless and Self-Enlisted
