Acme Comics' Escape Pod

Have no fear! Though we've been having difficulty editing our podcasts, and have in fact lost five episodes, we are back! We're happy to recap our first year of recording this podcast, especially our interviews with Paul Hornschemeier, Steve Rude and J.H. Williams III. We chat some about The Dark Knight Trailer and an even better comic book movie, Persepolis! Plus, we've got some books to look forward to in 2008 including Final Crisis from DC, Fantastic Four from Marvel and what's the deal with the Ultimate Universe?!

At the end of this podcast we mention an anthology that we are working on! We briefly explain all of the criteria on the show but for more information please e-mail acmecomics04@yahoo.com

After all of that explaining, I just realized that I forgot to include the Awesome Theme Song! Oops

What a great opportunity we had to talk with the talented JH Williams III this Wednesday! Many thanks to Mr. Williams for making one of Huy's dreams come true. Please take the time to check out JH Williams III Blog and listen to this interview to find out what he's been working on.

(Please excuse any fuzziness - this phone interview may sound like a phone interview)

Gee Whiz! It's October 1st and we've just posted a show from mid-September?! Apologies to everyone involved, so sorry you couldn't listen to yourself any earlier!
