The Comics Are Go! Podcast saunters into the 21st century! Having mastered the art of the audio podcast, these three visionaries prepare to embark into a whole new territory! With new "bleeding edge technology" at their fingertips, a new dimension in podcasting is ready to be breached! GIRD YOUR LOINS for such innovations as Benci-Vision! Benci-Cam! The Benci Puppet! An assorted array of other, less-fabulously named podcast innovations!The history of simple tools! That's right, dear listener, this podcast may end up being in video! (To be clear, it's a dry run; Engineer Extraordinaire Matt suspects that Scott was simply bored before everyone arrived at the comic shop and decided to play with his toys. The fruit of Scott's labor may or may not become available for your viewing pleasure, as we still have to work out the kinks.) Frivolity aside, these paragons of professional podcasting turn their attention to their chosen medium: COMIC BOOKS! In the headlines this week: the return of a podcast-favorite (well, Ed loves this guy for some reason) lawyer; the value of the "Mile High" Comic Collection is believed to be mind-boggling in scope; Marvel expands on their "free digital with print" promotion on the upcoming "Amazing Spider-Man" series; and recent online studies concerning the gender makeup of comics fans! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHERE ED FITS IN!
