FREE COMIC BOOK DAYThe first Saturday in May is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY.

That’s THIS SATURDAY!

As usual I’ll be making a special trip to my comic book store, Hourglass Comics (in Port Moody, B.C.).

And I’ll be well prepped for what to pick up too. Here’s why:

PopCultureGeek.comFirst up, there’s this podcast, Pop Culture Geek #19. It features a half hour talk (at the beginning) on the special comics that’ll be available on Saturday.

SFFaudio Recent Arrivals

Here’s a stack of new paperbooks that have recently hit my desk: Included are The Ganymede Takeover by Philip K. Dick and Ray Nelson, The Secret Of Red Gate Farm by Carolyn Keene (1931 edition), Stories Of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang, Jennifer Blood, (Vol. 1) by Garth Ennis, King Conan: The Scarlet Citadel by Timothy Truman, and Count To A Trillion by John C. Wright.

There’s a mistake on my part in the video. The Scarlet Citadel is adapted from a Robert E. Howard Conan story, as it turns out it is one of the ones I haven’t read.

Aural Noir: News

Here’s a look at a the first two issues of Fatale by Ed Brubaker and Sean Philips. Each issue of which includes a wonderful essay by Jess Nevins!

One is on H.P. Lovecraft and the other is on Edgar Allan Poe.

I also talk about the Deluxe hardcover edition of Criminal, also by Brubaker and Philips, and why you should pick up the floppies (single issues) as opposed to the trade paperback collections.
