It’s that time again Comic Impact readers- You know, when you take off your pants and listen to our amazing podcasts! Huh? What’s that you say? You don’t actually remove your pants while listening to our podcasts? You keep them fastened securely around your ankles, preventing extensive leg movement? Oh. Well jeez, color me burgundy! How were we supposed to know the specifics of your listening habits? We’re out here in internet land! This was your chance for a no pants romance, but whatever…
Well,...

We’re back with this week’s POW podcast where Simon, Sheldon, and Andy spill the beans on the comics worth discussing from the week of July 29th!

The dynamic trio also delve into The Stuff of Legend #1, Justice League of America #35, Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #3, Detective Comics #855, Ultimatum #5, Fantastic Four #569, and of course the POW- The New...

We’re back Comic Impact listeners with another POW (Pick of the Week) podcast as Andy, Sheldon, and Simon talk about the best (and worst) comics from the week of July 22! Sorry for the lateness of this one, but with Sheldon and Simon visiting San Diego last week for Comic Con, it had to push things back a bit in the POW department.
Anyway, Andy has the pick this week and he went with the incredibly gory and bad ass X-Force #17! The guys also discuss Invincible #64, GI Joe #7, Amazing Spider-Man #600, Captain Britain and...

Posted by Andy Liegl, on July 18th, 2009
Fallen Angel: Reborn #1 published by I.D.W. came out in comic shops on Wednesdy and I have a special e-mail interview for you with series writer Peter David! The comic is an awesome noir story about the Fallen Angel, an outcast from Heaven, who has come to the city of Bete Noir to help those in need by delivering justice to the beings who deserve it. Think The Preacher meets X-Factor blended with Christian mythology and you’ve got Fallen Angel. Plus, Peter even takes the time to talk a little bit about what’s coming up...
Posted by Simon Daoudi, on July 14th, 2009
So this week ‘Blackest Night‘ finally kicks off as everyone has been anxiously awaiting it’s debut! Yet some of my favorite comics are also coming out, such as Dead@17, Air, and the end of Joe Kelly’s American Son story in Amazing Spider-Man. Plus, an all new Doctor Who as an ongoing monthly series by Tony Lee, and I know Andy is looking forward to Fallen Angel: Reborn #1 and Poe #1 (yes, it’s about the horror author). Who really cares what Andy likes though,as it’s my turn for the POW...

Posted by Simon Daoudi, on July 7th, 2009
So it is a new week and Sheldon has the POW (Pick of the Week)! Will he pick Batman #688 since Batman #687 was Andy’s pick a month ago?… or will he pick something like Dark X-Men: Beginning #1? Who knows, but we do know that it won’t be anything off beat (like Andy’s pick last week) since Sheldon doesn’t venture into the more indie books. Plus, why am I going to be reading President Evil? It sounds like something Andy would cover for Wacky Comic Wednesday.

Hey there Comic Impact readers and listeners! A little less than two weeks ago Simon and I interviewed Steve Mannion the artist/writer/creator of The Bomb and Fearless Dawn from Asylum Press. Well, yesterday afternoon we called up the leading scribe at Asylum who is also the founder of the publishing company/Top Dog over there- Frank Forte!
Join us as we talk about graffiti art, the MLB, classic Horror films, Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, what it takes to make it as a comic book publisher in today’s economy, comic book art, and...

It’s a new month and an all new Pull List!
Andy has the POW (Pick of the Week) for this first week in July- will he pick Captain America: Reborn #1 to make Sheldon happy, or will he go with Deadpool Merc With a Mouth #1 to tantalize Simon?
Honestly, he probably won’t pick either as some kick ass indie books are due this week, like Terry Moore’s Echo, The Sword, and an all new Vertigo series called Greek Street! Who knows what he will pick, but you can check out the Comic Impact pull list by looking below:

Posted by Simon Daoudi, on June 27th, 2009
I have the pick this time around as the new Bat-books continue to impress, which is kind of crazy considering Marvel blew their load this week by publishing every comic book known to man.
We also cover Avengers/Invaders #12, Green Lantern #42, Astonishing X-Men #30, X-Force #16, Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men Utopia #1, Dark Avengers #6, New Avengers #54, Killapalooza #2, Daredevil #119, Amazing Spider-Man #598, Gotham City Sirens #1, Thor #602, and of course the Pick of the Week- Detective Comics #854 Make sure to check out...

Hey there Comic Impact readers and listeners! If you read the most recent Trade Tuesday article you know I covered The Bomb, published by Asylum Press and written and drawn by creator Steve Mannion. Well, I had promised an interview with both Steve and Frank Forte (the head guy over at Asylum) around the first week of July, but Steve was able to fit us into his schedule and do a solo interview with Simon and I!
Download this podcast as we talk to Steve about The Bomb, his new mini series Fearless Dawn, Canadian television, cigarettes,...
Posted by Andy Liegl, on June 23rd, 2009
I wanted to check out something a little more on the indie side, so I went with The Bomb published by Asylum Press. Originally released in August 2008, Steve Mannion is the writer and artist of the trade and holy shit does his talent shine!
The Bomb is a series of T & A black and white short stories of the superhero/horror genre that are crude, hilarious, and sexy all at the same time. It’s also jam packed with pin-ups, which is appropriate considering the trade’s main story line takes place in the late 1930’s/early...

So it is Monday and you know what time it is!

Here at Comic Impact we like to show what the staff is reading and discuss the newest shipment of comic books by posting the Comic Impact Pull List! This time Andy has the POW ( Pick of the week) and it looks like it’s going to be a busy week for him.
Will he give the honors to his DC favorite Tim Drake in Red Robin #1? or maybe it’ll be Uncanny X-Men #511 if his Phoenix hypothesis turns out to be true … or maybe something totally different. We don’t know because it’s only Monday and comics haven’t...

Well kids if you are doing the math and keeping score then you know that June 1st is the six month mark since we started Comic Impact! It’s fitting too because while myself (Sheldon), Simon, and Andy are all local to L.A., we managed to get Butmac out to the West Coast for this monumental day to take part in some photos, a few beers, and comics!
Here are a couple pictures of Andy guzzling his second Bloody Mary with myself smiling gorgeously in the background, and Butmac giving the gun to his friend -D-. We had a brief...

Mmmmmm. Cupcakes are a delicious anytime snack. Especially when they’re blonde, about 5′11,” and read comics. Well, this Pick of the Week was decided by Comic Impact’s very own delicious Cupcake man - Sheldon!

In 1970 DC charged comic book writer Denny O’Neil with revamping the super hero, Green Lantern. In 2004 the DC top brass appointed the same task to comics scribe Geoff Johns. The order was easier said than done: make Green Lantern interesting again. Not only was Johns assigned the task of reviving the shattered Green Lantern Corps., but he also was told to (literally) breathe new life into the man who destroyed the Corps: Hal Jordan, the greatest of the Green Lanterns.
Enter Green Lantern: Rebirth.
Rebirth is a six issue story...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace first appeared in theatres 10 years ago this week!
