This week Dark Horse editor and Sims-pal Rachel Edidin comes by the show to talk about editin’ them books! She talks to us about the difference between being an assistant editor and an out-and-out editor on a project, what an editor on a collection of a webcomic actually does, running the Conan message board, digital comics, dealing with allergies and a ton more! Plus, Matt and Chris give more generally-focused big ups to haters and talk about another week of DC #1s!

I’m hoping “Triumph of the Will” is not related to Nazis at all but rather the long-awaited Green Lantern Corps/Devo crossover.
Also… HAWKTOBER!!!
Hey, my man, what it look like?!
the last two episodes haven’t popped yet on itunes…
or is it just my wonky computer?
I explain the iTunes situation at length in this week’s show.
Ha! Swastika-themed superhero actually comes up in one of the stories in this anthology pretty much as you described:
http://www.amazon.com/Superheroes-John-Varley/dp/0441003079/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316550594&sr=1-4
A dude gets mystical, ancient powers that turn him into a superhero with a swastika on his chest, much to his chagrin. Once he goes out superheroing, it doesn’t go well. Amusing when I was in 8th grade, but probably not a very good story.
Has there actually been any indication that Bette Kane’s stint as Bat Girl is back in continuity? It’s been retconned out since 1985 and it’s not mentioned in Batwoman #1. In fact the version of the character that was Flamebird was at no time said to have been Batgirl, she never took the Flamebird identity pre-crisis and was reintroduced as Flamebird in 1989 with a backstory that didn’t include being Batgirl.
Awesome show as always fellas.
Maybe it’s the new fancy earbuds I have but some of the edits are becoming more clear to me. I’d be all for a separate link for the unedited rawness that is Matt & Chris. Even if it was three hours long.
Perhaps I’m an old fogey, but a mohawk is what was sported by Mr. T or Road Warrior Animal. Rachel’s ‘do may be a bit to conservative. And if Chris is going for a legit mohawk, than Matt should sport the Road Warrior Hawk reverse mohawk for the full Legion of Doom effect!
The edits are easier to hear in this one because there was a little bit of white noise in the background.
I cannot believe I am nearly in HAWKTOBER without knowing it….
