Free Comic Book Podcast Fallout

What? You only got ten free comics from your LCS?  You’re just upset you didn’t get All Star Superman even though you already bought it.

Face it, podcasts only care about what they read and laughing at their own jokes for three hours, which is why I identify with them so well.

Here are a few so far that remotely covered the most important day for comics this year.

More after the jump…

Interview with Phil Jimenez

Jamison Sacks chased Phil Jimenez down an alley, mugged him, stole his kidney and left him for dead.  But not until after he squeezed some answers from interviews this NYCC favorite.

Interview: The Phil Jimenez Perspective:

So after the long weekend that was New York ComiCon ‘08, I managed to harangue artist Phil Jimenez, noted for his work on Wonder Woman and Infinite Crisis and one of the current artists on Amazing Spider-Man, into a sit down chat. After showing me some of his favorite spots in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, we sat down in a quiet spot in the Chelsea market and talked about his views on ComicCons, his current work, and his teaching.’ Every question jumped into a few more and we ended up with a great look on the industry from one man inside it.’ We ended up talking for a while and in the end, the simple questions evolved into some great outlooks, so I decided to only trim the fat and was still left with a lengthy interview!

Marvel’s weak week

This week’s Free Comic Book Day generally equals strong sales for retailers.  Their efforts to reach out to the public by way of coinciding comic writers and artists signings brings in larger numbers than usual.  The only other time local comic shops get that kind of retail love is during the holiday season.

However, both Ultimates 3 and Astonishing X-Men are late… again.  Initially, there were delayed for whatever reason and rescheduled to hit shelves today.  That would have meant Marvel’s two biggest selling titles available to a larger than average audience.  Perhaps they wanted the Secret Invasion #1 second printing to get a fair shake, but let’s face it; the Bendis blockbuster doesn’t stack up to the other two titles in terms of readership.

Not to mention the fact that Iron Man hits theaters this Friday.  Where is Iron Man #1?  People are going to see the movie and want to go to their local comic shops and pick up related items like comic books and action figures.

BTW, DC Universe Zero is out on time for fifty cents.
