Comicmaniacs Live Podcast Show is on come listen chat and call in to talk about whatever’s on your mind geekwise

Music will be played as well. So come and enjoy the show! http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/111580

Attention Comicmaniacs

 

Instead of one podcast for Comicmaniacs, there will be two. One will be a tapped podcast that I will upload to Talkshoe and the other podcast will be the live show that I will do every other Saturday at 10pm eastern time.

The tapped podcast will be a weekly one where  I’ll discuss  The Comicmaniac Five, Classic Comic Review, Comicmaniac of the week, Hot Topic, Special Feature, Character Spotlight and Webpicks. I’ll upload this one to Talkshoe so you can listen to it. Here’s the link: http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/112547

The live show is where I’ll conduct live interviews and the listeners will be able to call in and ask the guests questions. It will also be where we can talk about anything geeky related unscripted. Here’s the link to the live show:

To dial into the Call…
1. Dial:(724) 444-7444
2. Enter the Call ID:111580

I think this will be much better to build a listener base and also things will run much smoother. I’m new to all of this and I’m working to make the show a better one.

So I hope that you’ll tune in to both and that you chat and call in to the live show.

Thanks

Tali

Classic Comic Review #2

Comic: Catwoman

Issue #0

Title of the story: “Cat Shadows”

Publisher: DC Comics

Story: Doug Moench

Pencils: Jim Balent

Inks: Bob Smith

Letters: Bob Pinaha

Color: Buzz Setzer

Assistant Editor: Jordan B. Gorfinkel

Editor:  Dennis O’Neal

Summary of the story:

I’m not going to give it away, but it tells the story of how Selena Kyle became Catwoman. It shows us how she grew up and the motivation behind why she steals. I always wondered what was her motivation. Was it the danger and the adventure? I guess that's also part of it but to see exactly what is very interesting.

I liked the story the art was good. I love the cover that’s my favorite Catwoman costume (because it’s purple). This is one of the few DC comics that I have read and own.

Web Pick and Hot Topic
