Not quite 6, not yet 7

There won’t be a new episode this week. I was sick Monday and Tuesday…and since we shoot on Monday night…well, that means no episode this week.

But to have something new, I have put up a review for Incredible Hulk #93 that was cut from last week’s episode for time.

I’m better now, so next week expect a great new episode featuring footage and interviews from the Mid-Jersey Comicon.

Thanks for watching!

Hang in there…

Well, I thought I could get this one out a little earlier…of course things don’t always go according to plan. The show was ready last night, but isn’t going up until a little later this afternoon.

So as Nick says in this (upcoming) episode…good things come to those who wait.

Some big news. The website is going live next week. To launch, we’ll have an exlcusive column from our good friend Alex. And as the weeks go by, we’ll be adding new content and columns.
We are also officially launching our show next week. I’m sure you’re asking yourself how this is any different from what we are doing now. Well, it won’t be that different. The myspace page is up, the website will be up but most importantly, more people will know that we are here. Before we went “live”, we wanted a few shows in the can…we wanted to be sure that we had all the bugs worked out. Consider us out of our ‘beta’ phase. You should also see us listed very soon on iTunes.

We’ll be launching the first wave of our media blitz next week. With any luck, you’ll see our little show being mentioned online at all our favorite web news and blog sites.

So to all our intrepid viewers…thank you. It’s been your positive feedback that has given us the will to fight those gremlins and get the episodes out! ;-)

See you in a few hours,
Kevin
