The Secret of the Wednesday’s Haul

This episode was supposed to be a continuation of Duck Month with a thorough look at Marvel’s Essential Howard The Duck but, just as I was really getting into reading it, the book dissolved in my hands.  So instead, I take a side track from Duck Month (don’t worry, it’ll continue with the next show) [...]

They say every dog has his day but thanks to Don Rosa, we get to see that every duck has his life.
More specifically, Scrooge McDuck gets a life as his story is told in The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, an excellent biography of a fictional character. In this episode, Scott takes a [...]

I just figured out this morning that there’s something wrong with the podcast feed and how it pushes content into iTunes. I figured out what the problem is and applied a bandaid solution to the newest episode that I uploaded last night but I don’t know exactly what the root cause of the problem [...]

It’s a mish-mash episode as I review the first issue of Alex Ross, Jim Kreuger and Steve Sadowski’s Avengers/Invaders (all I’ll say here is that this book is in desperate need of an inker,) talk about about the robbery/shooting of David Pirkola and what kind of a great shop Apparition comics is in Kentwood, MI [...]

With Greg Rucka’s last issue of Checkmate hitting the stands, it’s time to discuss when does a creator fail? With him leaving Checkmate and the announcement of the departure of the Brubaker/Fraction team from Iron Fist, I’ve decided to drop those titles. But if I drop them and don’t feel the loss of [...]

We always hope our children will enjoy the things that we do even if we wish better for them. I never planned to raise up my son as a geek but that’s the way it happened. Instead of Big Bird or Barney, he prefers DC: The New Frontier, Jeff Smith’s Bone and Hayao [...]

It’s experimenting time around Wednesday’s Haul. For the next couple of weeks, look for 5 minute reviews— complete reviews of new comics in, you guessed it, five minutes. To kick off this grand experiment, I look at the fun Hulk #2. Now I know that this isn’t great [...]

It’s not even a couple of hours after I posted that the podcast was going offline to be retooled a bit that I start coming up with ideas for podcasts. What’s wrong with me?

With all the talk lately of breaks and podcast burnout, I had debated not posting this but…
Wednesday’s Haul: The Podcast is taking a break and has been taking one for almost a month now. There are a number of reasons for this but the main one is that I just haven’t felt like [...]

While it’s still January, it doesn’t seem too late to talk about the Haul’s favorite books of 2007. Some of the books I talk about this week include Criminal #10, Apollo’s Song, Ghost Stories, The Homeless Channel, Madman and Hellboy. And that’s just a small sample.

I think since early 2001 Joe Quesada has been looking for a way to break the internet in half. He somehow thought he had it with House of M but that maybe only broke off a corner of the internet and didn’t have the cataclysmic results that he wanted it to have. But [...]

Batman #219 by Neal Adams
Merry Christmas!!! In keeping with the season this podcast, I look at/re-enact the Christmas story from Batman #219, where Batman and the GCPD caroling brings good will and peace to men to Gotham City. Not a hoax, not an imaginary story– Batman sings “Jingle Bells!” and not the “Batman [...]

This week, I contributed another review to Indie Comic Book Noise covering Richard Starking, Moritat and Ladronn’s Elephantmen: War Toys, a fantastic science fiction comic book. Elephantmen has been one of my favorite books of this year that I don’t think I’ve been able to adequately talk about or review. It’s actually a [...]

A couple of weeks ago on his podcast, my buddy Ty asked if it was time to retire characters like Superman, Batman and to let a new generation of heroes become popular. Of course, I couldn’t let a question like that go unanswered. Should Superman be retired? No! Why not? [...]

It’s been a couple of weeks since my own podcast (tonight I’ll hopefully record) but to get back into the groove of things, I contributed a review of Viper Comics’ The Underworld Railroad to Indie Comic Book Noise, found at comicbooknoise.com. I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this book. [...]
