Comic Book Pitt #40 - Retconned!

comicbookpitt — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:10:54 +0000

One day in October when we were recording episode #40, the Scarlet Witch appeared in the Comic Book Pitt and simply whispered “No more podcasts.”

We floated between realities until we were finally retconned back into existence in our own universe. For us it was mere minutes, but apparently we were gone for 24 days.

That original 40th episode is still floating out there…somewhere…

The cover scans for this episode can be found on the CBP Flickr site.

The music in this episode is by Ike & Tina Turner.

Comic Book Pitt Special #8 - Ricky’s Comics

comicbookpitt — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:02:08 +0000

So the Duke and I recorded this kick-ass review episode last week spotlighting a bunch of new comics like Haunt, Spider Woman, Planetary, etc. We even had this great conversation about The Walking Dead, the conclusion to the ‘Fear The Hunters’ storyline and whether I was going to continue collecting the series.

Shortly after we recorded that episode, I accidentally recorded another episode, this special episode, right over it.

For the story behind “Ricky’s Comics”, you’ll have to listen, but if you want to see some of what was in said collection, click here.

(Oh, in case you’re wondering, I’m done with The Walking Dead.)
