Wednesday Warriors Episode #54: Favorite Graphic Novel Pottycast



In this episode those potty-mouthed Wednesday Warriors try (and fail) to keep it clean while talking about their favorite Graphic Novels or close-ended storylines. They also clear up any confusion between the definitions of "issue" vs. "episode." But first they've got some books to talk about!

Sean L. follows Daken to Rome in Dark Wolverine #87, pronunciations are debated.

Sean H. stumbles and moans into Walking Dead #73. Is it a good jumping on point? (spoiler: no). Also, what's this about a Walking Dead TV show?

If you think you're reading comics, you may be incorrect. Are you reading Hellblazer? If not, you are not reading comics. So sayeth Jonas.

Jonas also touches on the final issue of Forgetless, a series he and Bryton have been enjoying.

Bryton loves Westerns, but unfortunately wasn't thrilled with Pale Horse, despite it's unique concept. He was much more impressed and baffled and a little frightened by Meta 4. The world remains unimpressed with Bryton's Vincent Price impression.

John thinks the first issue of the new Black Cat series has a great cover! The end. Then John and the gang discuss the new New Avengers #1. Does it hold up to the rest of the Heroic Age titles?

Episode 50: Part 1 - Seige Read-Along, Issue One



Time to celebrate people. Part one of episode 50 is out now. After you hear it you will hopefully understand why we had a skip week last week. We wanted to have the entire Read-Along to Marvel's Siege, but we didn't realize how much work it would be. We figure everyone who reads comics is used to waiting a little longer for something great but we wanted this to be episode 50 and didn't want to make everyone wait for all four issues to be done before we posted it. So we have decided to release it an issue at a time.

However, we already have an episode in the can with a special guest from this very board. So we are going to release that as episode 51 tomorrow. And then we will release 50 part 2 - part 4 as soon as we have them done. That way we can still release episodes without having to make anyone wait.

We would love to hear your thoughts on our Siege read-along part 1. We have all worked really hard on it and thought it turned out much better than we were had hoped.

Time Machine: Demon in a Bottle


"Demon in a Bottle" is a nine-issue Iron Man story arc concerning alcoholism. The story arc was written by David Michelinie and Bob Layton with art by John Romita, Jr., Bob Layton, and Carmine Infantino and published by Marvel Comics.






The storyline ran in The Invincible Iron Man #120-128 (March-Nov. 1979), plotted by David Michelinie and Bob Layton, with script by Michelinie. John Romita, Jr. [[penciler|pencilled] the breakdown sketches, with Layton providing finished art. Issue #122 (May 1979) was both plotted and scripted by Michelinie, penciled by Carmine Infantino and inked by Layton

"Demon in a Bottle" was originally only the title of the final issue in the storyline. When the storyline was collected in trade paperback in 1984 and 1989, it was published under the title The Power of Iron Man. "Demon in a Bottle" later became the popular name for the storyline, and collected editions were then published under that title.

Stark's alcoholism was revisited in later storylines, and remains a defining element of the character. Jon Favreau, director of the 2008 Iron Man film, said: "Stark has issues with booze. That's part of who he is." Favreau said that elements of the story would be used in future Iron Man sequels: "I don't think we'll ever do the Leaving Las Vegas version, but it will be dealt with.

And In case that wasn't awesome enough for you we've posted the Iron Baby Motion Picture Preview just in case.
