This week you get twice the episodes for the same price! In Part 2, Sam “The Hammer” Humphries returns, giving us a worldwide exclusive on his Free Comic Book Day (Saturday, May 1st!) FRAGGLE ROCK story, how to meet Red Fraggle herself in person and his contribution to the upcoming CBGB anthology from BOOM! Town. Also, as always, we discuss recent books of note, including S.H.I.E.L.D by Jonathan Hickman and Dustin Weaver, Jason Aaron and company’s GHOST RIDER run, a return to BLACKEST NIGHT #8 and, for the faithful…The Untold Origin of The Meltcast!

 

 

We’re breaking into a new age as we bring aboard comics maestro Sam “The Hammer” Humphries in part 1 of a 2 part series! Sam is the former “architect” of Myspace Comics and is currently writing comics. He joins us for the entirety of the show as we discuss VICE MAGAZINE COMICS, FUNRAMA, X-MEN #522, THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD, CHOKER, SCALPED, SWEET TOOTH, HUNTER’S FORTUNE, AMERICAN VAMPIRE, X-MEN: SECOND COMING, FANTASTIC FOUR #577, THE SWORD, and BLACKEST NIGHT.

And–to cap it all off,–Sam breaks down what this Saturday’s release of the Apple iPad could mean for comic fandom everywhere!

 
 

“Its mano-e-mano as Chris and Caleb enter the ring to discuss and debate the work of Mark Miller in part 1 of our high-flying, ground-pounding, steel cage match of death throwdown! We also begin the show highlighting Isobella Jade’s A MODEL LIFE from Soft Skull Press, take a look at Greg Rucka’s new book STUMPTOWN from Oni Press, and examine last week’s DARK REIGN: THE LIST – WOLVERINE.”

 

 

“The opening shots for Meltcast are fired as Caleb and Chris open the inaugural episode by discussing the BLACKEST NIGHT event from DC and the SPIDER-WOMAN motion and print comics by Bendis & Maleev from Marvel. Buckle up, the start of the ride has begun!”
