Sure we know it was coming, the signs were clear. Once the Terminator showed up and began dropping mad plot lines into the DC universe we knew it was all going to change. Then they kicked us in the balls with a “young” hero Retcon and dropped us back to 52 issues of #1s. They held that middle finger high to signify the change. It was like the Bat-symbol but far more phallic. Today’s show delves a little into the huge DC retcon being introduced at the end of Flashpoint. Unfortunately Pete was unable to record with us due to his new job. We’re happy for him and he’ll continue to contribute and have a place in Retcon. (Unless we retcon him out I assume.) We also talk about our event fatigue that the major comic companies keep piling on us, I’m looking at you DC, Marvel, and even you Topcow…. shame you. BAD COW BAD! At one point we reveal that Emma Frost got her mutant nickname from Wolverine after a very randy night, White Queen indeed. During the course we also discuss the X-men movie. Now, what’s missing? Independent comics, that’s what. Is it because we hate them? No, we ended up mostly ranting about things that we hate and it looks like we don’t hate our indie brothers this week.
I tell you this, if you’ve got an indie title, it’d behoove you to contact us. We’d love nothing more than to give you a short plug. But I leave that ball in your court, don’t be a lazy git.
