If you figured out how to use Edelweiss, there's a new Dresden Files novella on there, Out Law. Comes out in May. I picked it up the other day. www.edelweiss.plus#sku=97983470... @spidey004.bsky.social

Thought you might be interested in this even though I thought it was bad. Apparently, Titan Comics made some comics based on Hammer films. I just finished The Mummy from Peter Milligan. There's a retrospective on the films as well. www.hoopladigital.com/comic/the-mu... @michaelmay.bsky.social

I just saw Jim Butcher is going on a book tour for the new Dresden Files book, Twelve Months. That means it should actually come out on 1/20 with no further delays. I've been jonesing for this one. @spidey004.bsky.social

I know most of you don't do Lego but a Lego Enterprise with this light kit in it is pretty compelling. Plus one of the minifigs is Riker with a trombone.

Nice episode this week guys. Happened to be wearing a Heatmiser / Coldmiser t-shirt while listening to it and just finished a Rudolph game on my PS5 last week. @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social

Saw this new Humble Bundle and thought you might be interested. It's a collection of cozy games for the computer. Even if they suck it was only $12 for 9 games. @michaelmay.bsky.social www.humblebundle.com/games/wholes...

Found this book that's coming out for you Sherlockers about an actor who used to play Sherlock uncovering a mystery. It's read now on Netgalley. I just picked it up. www.netgalley.com/catalog/book... @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social @paxholley.com

Went and saw Darene Love's Christmas show last night. She's still got a great voice at 84. FYI, David Letterman did not make it to the show.

I don't know what to do with myself. For once I'm caught up with the onslaught of Michael May and Pax Holley podcasts. Typically, December has a new Afterlunch from SBC almost every day. So today was with CFC and Santa Claus: The Movie from last year. @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com

@jesstures.bsky.social If you want to read Hellboy digitally, Dark Horse has put all of the comics on Humble Bundle the last 2 years over Christmas for around $40. It's an exceptional deal.

@jesstures.bsky.social Those Hellboy omnibuses are the way to go if you want to read them in order without having to figure anything out. There are 4 of them for the main story and then 2 that collect all of the short stories. That's all you really need for the complete Hellboy story.

You and I like the same stuff Pax. I've read the Orphan X novels. (Hurwitz has also written Moon Knight, Punisher and Foolkiller for Marvel if you're interested) and I just got Cobalt Blue from the library last week. @paxholley.com

Mike, The Kryptonian Age is only the first 6 issues of the story. DC split it up. The last issue of the 2nd half, A League for Justice, comes out in Dec. The first half was just OK, it feels long. @michaelmay.bsky.social

So I thought of a new episode idea while I was getting caught up with the Oct episodes. What about a Star Wars EU debate for Legends books versus the current, shittier books where absolutely nothing of consequence happens? @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social

Introduced my nephew to Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation Saturday night. It was great to see it return after a couple of decades away. I remember going to the midnight shows throughout the 90s when it would come to St. Louis or Champaign.

I just saw Scream is playing on 10/22 at AMC. Hopefully you have one nearby so you can take your daughter. @paxholley.com

Huh, A new Bride of Frankenstein film by Maggie Gyllenhaal with both her husband and brother in it plus Christian Bale as Frankenstein's monster. And it looks like they are some kind of Bonnie and Clyde in this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE-K... @michaelmay.bsky.social

Those Ultimate Spider-Man comics are great. So are Ultimates and Ultimate Black Panther. I think U Spidey is getting restarted after #24. Basically Hickman's leaving. It's the Maker's return. There's an event. He's been locked away for the last 2 years. @spidey004.bsky.social

Those Ghost Machine comics are good. I'm buying them all monthly from my LCS. Most of the Geoff Johns ones are set in the same universe, except Rook Exodus and I think Hyde Street. The two Peter Tomasi comics are part of Family Odysseys. The art in every book is terrific. @paxholley.com

Thanks for the recommendation for Daughters of Block Island. I quite enjoyed it. I think @michaelmay.bsky.social would really dig it too. A modern day gothic story. BTW, Block Island is a real place. @spidey004.bsky.social

I never thought I'd see a Monster Squad t-shirt but teefury has proved me wrong today. teefury.com/products/tee...

I'm not a proponent of Las Vegas but did you know Tears for Fears is doing a residency there in Sept and Oct. @michaelmay.bsky.social

We booked our first Viking cruise in Europe for the beginning of October. Hopefully we enjoy it. I know you were a bit weirded out by the dining situation. @spidey004.bsky.social

Just finished the latest After Midnight. I know you're locked into a lot of the comics, but you guys need to check out Locke & Key, Harrow County and The Sixth Gun. Actually you and @paxholley.com should do The Sixth Gun on Hellbent too if you ever do comics. @michaelmay.bsky.social

Any thoughts on doing a Jaws episode for the 50th anniversary next month? They are rereleasing it in Imax and 3D over Labor Day weekend. @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social

You guys may have to buy some Lego. They just unveiled the Sherlock Holmes Book Nook yesterday. I love that it folds up to fit on your book shelf. @spidey004.bsky.social @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com www.lego.com/en-us/produc...

Brittney Williams also drew a Patsy Walker A.K.A. Hellcat series around the same time she drew those Goldie Vance comics. They should be on MU if you wanted to check them out. @spidey004.bsky.social

Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott have a new comic coming out from DC in August that looks terrific, Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League. www.dc.com/blog/2025/05... @spidey004.bsky.social @michaelmay.bsky.social @paxholley.com

BTW, I have been to Metropolis, IL. I grew up about an hour north of there. It's just a small river town with a statue of Superman in the middle of it and a museum. It's right off of I-24 across the river from Padukah, KY. maps.app.goo.gl/6Uc8aP36pQod... @paxholley.com

I was happily surprised to hear a shout out while listening to Afterlunch on the way to the comic book store this week. Thanks for answering my question guys. @paxholley.com @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social

@grantbrisbee.bsky.social Don't know if you saw this but there's a great 5 minutes on minor league baseball on Last Week Tonight from Sunday. They're even doing a contest to rename a team. You should do a recurring segment on the Roundtable about the minors, right after talking about oats.

BTW, if you guys are looking for another get together, I'll throw the Retro Gaming festival at you. www.liretro.com It's not often you can play old video games next to a lunar module. This year they are celebrating the 40th ann of NES. @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social @paxholley.com

@michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social @paxholley.com Great episodes with Monkey, Robot or Michael Caine. Talking about monkeys though always makes me recall the story about how my brother-in-law was once kidnapped by a monkey as a toddler. This is an honest to god true story.

I heard you mention the Space Ghost comic on Afterlunch last week. You also mentioned The Herculoids and Dynamite also just started that up as a new comic if you aren't aware. There are 2 issues out at the moment @paxholley.com

Got another book for you. The Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien by John Hendrix Part prose, part graphic novel about their friendship. It's REALLY good. @michaelmay.bsky.social

Just read some comics almost certainly written just for @michaelmay.bsky.social Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini, a 10 year old Agatha Christie and Bram Stoker have to save London from Spring-Heeled Jack. bluefoxcomics.com/products/the... I found this on Hoopla BTW.

Loved hearing Tim Lybarger on Afterlunch. Tim introduced me to Nerdlunch. You need to have him back for a Mr. Rogers episode. @michaelmay.bsky.social @spidey004.bsky.social

BTW, Harold Schechter and Eric Powell have another OGN coming out, Dr. Werthless about the life of Dr. Fredric Wertham. I got a hold of an advance copy and it's great. I had no idea he helped end segregation in schools in addition to almost killing the comic industry. @michaelmay.bsky.social

If you ever wanted to read the Dragonlance books and haven't, $18 for a crapload of them as ebooks is a steal. It looks like all of the Weis and Hickman books besides the newest trilogy that they are working on plus a bunch of other authors. www.humblebundle.com/books/world-...

Also, you can adjust how much money goes to charity. If you click on custom amount, you'll get a slider bar where you can adjust it so it pretty much all goes to the charity. I do that every time. @paxholley.com @spidey004.bsky.social @michaelmay.bsky.social

Those Humble Bundles are great. They do new ones every week. Sometimes it's comics. Sometimes it's RPG rulebooks. Sometimes it's programming books. Sometimes it's files for 3D printing. Sometimes it's 17 books from an author. @paxholley.com @spidey004.bsky.social @michaelmay.bsky.social

Hearing your story of building 5P1-D brought me back to when I went to the Muppet Whatnot Workshop and made my own Muppet. @spidey004.bsky.social

Thanks for the Richard Sala rec. I immediately put everything of his that I could find on hold at the library. @michaelmay.bsky.social

Just came back from vacation to find Amazon is now in charge of the next Bond film. They'll probably select the winner of Beast Games. I instantly just gave up all hope in this series. ew.com/james-bond-f...

@spidey004.bsky.social This Humble Bundle that came out today looks like something you'd be interested in. Audio adaptations of comic books. www.humblebundle.com/books/comics...

Finished Fantasticland today. Thanks for the rec. Good stuff. I do feel like it could have been about 100 pages longer to round out the stories better. @paxholley.com www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

After 2 weeks I finally made it to the end of this month's Lounge episode of almost 6 hours. No, it's not still going but you certainly get your money's worth this month. @paxholley.com @spidey004.bsky.social @michaelmay.bsky.social

@spidey004.bsky.social The only reference to Twister I picked up in Twisters was they were using Dorothy V in the opening scene. BTW, you're probably going to get these posts every day as I listen to the 6 hr Lounge piecemeal this week. Only 4 hours to go.

@michaelmay.bsky.social Now that you have an ipad, make sure and check out Hoopla from your library. They have tens of thousands of graphic novels from small publishers. This is also bonus borrows week which don't count against your borrows for the month. www.hoopladigital.com/collection/b...

@michaelmay.bsky.social DC Infinite Ultra is one month for new comics. Marvel Unlimited is 3 but they sometimes come out sooner for things they are promoting. Ultra also has the full Vertigo line minus any rights issues. Still trying to find time to get through the 6 hr Lounge from last week.
