Great Review of Penny Arcade Vol. 5, I’m a huge fan of the web comic, and absolutely loved the game they put out.

While it is a rather traditional RPG, it has a Lovecraft/steampunk-esque Penny Arcade twist to it, and the dialogue is hilarious. Love the posts keep it up man!

Episode 068: The Calm Before The Storm

by The Watchtower Podcast at 04:01 AM on August 06, 2008 04:01

With the San Diego Comic Con firmly in our rear-view mirrors, the world of Comics has entered into a bit of a post-con lull. We here at The Watchtower however, are just ramping up!

This week we dig deep and come up with some movie news and rumors, as well as ask some hard questions about comic book Annuals. Are they a crucial part of telling a larger story? Or just another excuse for publishers to offer lackluster content and reprints? Be sure to weigh in with your view!

All this, and an extended version of The Forecast, during which you have the chance to win some of my stuff! Also, will the Cosmic Egg show up when Donnie Does Trinity? Only one way to find out, dear hearts!!

I’m glad that dude mentioned that you got your podcast name from the JLA. I don’t read it so I hadn’t made the connection, and was wondering when the propaganda would begin. Whew. Anyway Hi. I wanted to comment on the Annuals/one-shots discussion. By and large I agree, but I wanted to point out a few other things. First off, I’ve dug both of the New Avengers annuals, but they’ve been the only ones I’ve been compelled to buy for years. There have been a lot of one-shots lately that have been completely unnecessary, but one I really enjoyed was the X-Factor Quicksilver book a few weeks back. I think that story worked well out of the regular book as the rest of the characters have other things going on, but I was waiting for the triumphant redemption of Quicksilver and I think that the one-shot maybe will set that up. One more thing, about annuals. I re-read the Lifeform storyline that ran thru Punisher, Hulk, Daredevil and Silver Surfer annuals in like 89 or 90 and I think that that sort of thing makes for the perfect annual. Days of Future Present came out around the same time in FF, X-Fac, X-Men and New Mutants(?) Really good stuff. Annuals as events. Anyway, sorry for the long comment. Just set up a profile today. Really dig the site and the Podcast!
