Now that there is an update on subscriptions I am getting ready to record Episode 3. Meanwhile I am getting ready to update newly recorded episodes of This Old Comic Addict... probably have to update it like this... sigh... stay tuned.

FYI : Live Update (answers about DC Comics)

Usually I script these out and cut and paste them up, but today I am writing it up live. Check out my fYI post on http://www.thisoldcomicaddict.blogspot.com for the first half of this so I don't have to repeat the info I did there here).

So far no progress has been made on my mail showing up according to the USPS site... but I should be doing both OMGComics and This Old Comic Addict by this weekend... yeah, definitely by then I should be doing both.

Finally got an answer on how long it takes to get my first issues from DC Comics for That New 52 Smell. Six weeks. It should be six weeks, and I am halfway through that so the unpacking episode (first) should be in April. That means once the next subscription(s) are made they will be unpacked for the first time... in May. Incredibly slow, yes, but at least it gives the cast (and listeners) something to look forward to.

So I want to thank the source of the information... Comic Book Resources from their forum board.
Not DC Comics. A comic book forum.
Subsequently I think I will be doing abit of that on the cast. The biggest info and breaking news... from invisible third person fans from forum boards on the internet.

DC Comics. Motto 2013 Edition... Go (bleep) off.
Thanks DC Comics.

Maybe I went too fast in giving DC Comics a cast. Maybe I should have done a MARVEL cast...

MARVEL Comics Motto 2013 Edition. Go (bleep) off.
Yeah... that looks better. Sigh.

Well.... at least we'll get news... eventually.

So updates shortly on the unpacking episodes and a new That New 52 Smell Episode... mostly to announce the next step in subscriptions and the next title locked in for reviews (starting in May) and more Spectre. Stay tuned for updates.

That New 52 Smell Week 1

That New 52 Smell
Episode 0.1 - Origins

Putting thought to life, and coming up with this notion, started with the announcement of the coming end of The New 52 Adventures of Superman.

To me it was logical. DC already had scheduled titles on my pull list, and I was inquiring with them about press releases and such so why not expand it to a podcast?

Admittedly the show started its life as a Superman family centered title... but when I checked the subscriptions list I couldn't find Superboy... huh?

If I was left to my own devices I would quickly fall out of picking up what I need to review. This way I am locked in for a full year of episodes, and just have to renew yearly, making changes to the review format once a year as needed. That and this was made possible through a huge trade I am presently doing.

So let's recap. This series was originally thought up when the announcement came that The New 52 Adventures of Superman was winding down to completion.

So with only 4 episodes of New 52 left? Where are we in terms of progress... let's see...

- Starting off with first two titles, Supergirl and Superman, which speaks of the cast's origin as a New 52 Superman inspired cast.

- Presently soliciting votes for the other four starting slots of the cast. Cast your vote at http://www.thisoldcomicaddict.blogspot.com and http://www.rkyvrevue.blogspot.com

- Plans are to add 3 of the bigger page count title along the way. Action Comics and Justice League (two more nods to New 52 Superman) along with Justice League of America, totaling titles covered to nine.

- Titles being voted on? Aquaman, Batgirl, Catwoman, Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Teen Titans and Wonder Woman.

- Originally I was not going to put Batman or Green Lantern titles up for consideration, but then voting would not had been picking a top four as much as dropping the fifth title.

- Deadline for voting is March 22nd.

That is about that for now. The process of preparing the cast has just begun. Next time I speak of the 800 pound Gorrilla Grodd in the cast, preparing the technical aspect of a news section of the cast... when DC Comics wont give me the time of day.

That is coming next week. So stay tuned, and see you then.

Addendum - Cast Format
One thing I am working on is the exact content of the cast itself. At this early production stage I have the following...

- Opening
- DC News Brief
Whatever news I came across that is fit to print, so to speak.
- Rumor mill
i.e. what the WB is not doing lately.
- Mailbag
Going to open an email just for work.
- Reviews
What came in the mail for review

But that is just the beginning! Stay tuned as I work on this and prepare Episode Zero!
