MyComicShop Link!

In one of our previous episodes, we mentioned using the MyComicShop.com link to help support our site. Well, when a co-worker purchased something using that link to support us – we never got any notification. After several attempts to reach out to MyComicShop.com – both technical and customer support – and getting no reply and two weeks have gone by – we’ve removed the link. We have replaced it with a Paypal link that will go to our account to support the website. I am not saying don’t use MyComicShop.com (despite the very poor – well, complete lack of customer service and technical support) – because they still have great deals on their site.

Special thanks to ElfQuest.com for making Episode #3 Special!

As you undoubtedly know (because you can’t wait to listen to our podcasts!), we discussed Indie comics in Issue #3 of our podcast. One of the titles mentioned was ElfQuest, both how it impacted me in my youth, how I met one of my dearest friends, and how the amazingly talented Wendy Pini is drawing “ElfQuest: Final Quest” – what seems to be the final chapter to the ElfQuest Universe.

Our podcasts are completely unscripted – so there’s always a large chunk of editing to do. Still, with that said, we managed to talk about ElfQuest for 7 to 10 minutes – even with edits. The folks at ElfQuest did us an amazing honor by taking that segment of our podcast and making it available to listen to – ON THEIR SITE! (And it even links back to our own site!) This is an amazing honor!

You can go here to give it a listen!

Comic Relief Podcast – Issue #3 – Indie (Not Jones) Comics.

Are you looking for these issues? (Or any comics?) – Consider using our Affiliate Link to help keep the site ad free: Shop Here.

You’ve waited, for what feels like centuries. And now, at long last, it is finally here. What is “it” you ask? Well, obviously if you’re on this website – you know that “it” must be the next issue of Comic Relief Podcast! That’s right, just under the gun of the (delayed) Sunday deadline – Comic Relief Podcast #3 is finally completed! (Okay, sure if you’re not on the West Coast, it’s already Monday – and if you’re in Australia, you’re like three weeks into the future – but still!)

This Issue covers the assortment of Independent comics that have been released. While there are literally, hundreds and hundreds of indie titles that have entered the comic book world – some meeting with amazing success, some crashing and burning just after their first issue – Tawmis and Maico cover an assortment of indie titles that have caught their interest in some way. Some of what is covered includes the success of Image Comics, The Walking Dead (Maybe You’ve Heard Of It?), Saga, Chew, Wanted, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Comics, ElfQuest, ElfLord, The Adventurers, as well as The Tick. And finally, Maico conducts and interview with Jacob, of Wendigo Comics about what to expect if you launch your own Indie Comic Book Company.

You can share comments on facebook or tweet to us! (We tend to be far more responsive on Facebook, however! It lends itself to a more social/discussion type setting!)

PLEASE NOTE! We’re going to try something new! Came up with an idea, that I don’t think has been used before! We’re opening up a “Letter’s Page” – a way to get YOUR voice on the Comic Relief Podcast!

Here’s how it works – you record your own voice, giving your opinion, thoughts, etc – about the episode(s) you’ve heard! Then, like the letter’s pages of comics – we will put them at the end of the podcast (once we have collected a few of them!) You can send them to us!

Naturally, we reserve the right to edit, censor and modify what you send us (to make sure it’s clean, clear out noise, shorten whatever you may send, etc).

NOTE: When/IF you send us something – please be sure there is NO music or anything playing in the background that may be owned / copyrighted by someone else. We will NOT be able to use those pieces!

Heads Up – Comic Book Edition – Amiee Guess, Maico Gives Clues.

So to spread the word of Comic Relief Podcast, we also opened our own Youtube Channel. We will be posting our own videos on there; as well as probably posting the podcast on there (additionally) with a static image – that way we can hopefully reach out to more people. Along with those podcasts, we’re going to post silly videos like this.

The game is Ellen’s Heads Up!, and the deck we’re using is the “Super Hero” deck. There’s more videos to come soon.

So subscribe to our channel there!
