Next Guest! Ryan Dunlavey!

We are back, and so begins our strong run of awesome guests leading up to the Heroes Con break.

Our next guest is artist and writer Ryan Dunlavey, whose work you’ve seen in Action Philosophers, Comic Book Comics, and of course, one of our favorites around here, MODOK: Reign Delay. We’re recording on Wednesday (4/21) at 10PM Eastern. Email or tweet questions! And be ready for more Ajax soon all up in your faces.

Sad Face Goes Here

Sorry guys. We are not going to have an episode next week. It’s my fault, with work piling up for the weekend and editing time looking grim, I had to make the executive decision and say no show for you this coming week. I welcome slaps and/or wacks with wooden sticks.

Would it make you feel better that after next week, we have five (that’s right FIVE) pretty big, awesome, crazy, funtastic and radical guests already scheduled? And that going up to HeroesCon, we are going to see a lot of new faces ’round these parts? Would it? WOULD IT?!

All that I can say is sorry, Charlie. Check out Awesomed by Comics if you want some comic book podcast goodness for your ears to devour for the week when no Chris, no Euge, no haters, and no Flash Gordon music. Pour a 40 out.

CORRECTION: In a previous episode, it was mentioned that friend of the show, Dr. K, was NOT a fan of Speed Racer. Turns out, he IS a fan of Speed Racer. An awesome fan. So stop sending him hate mail. We are sorry, Andy. Though, THAT one was more Chris’s fault.

Geekspeak Can Suck It

I made an appearance on the GeekSpeak podcast to talk about Adam WarRock and the general rundown of geek news that the guys over there do every week. You should check it out, b/c I also did a song for them as well. I also talk a lot about the DC Circuit and the FCC. It’s how I do.

Sims appeared on GeekSpeak long ago, actually BEFORE War Rocket Ajax ever existed! You should check that show out here.

And maybe you should join the facebook fan page for War Rocket Ajax, if you want. Just sayin’.

Episode 26 – Eisner Nominated

Euge and Chris are back this week, and we mostly just talk about nonsense. Comics come up, sorta. It’s a shorter episode with new theme lyrics and more twitter questions than you can shake a stick at.

Next Guest! Kieron Gillen!

Our next guest is Kieron Gillen, writer of Thor, S.W.O.R.D. Phonogram, and recently the New Mutants’ Siege tie-in. Because we’re doing this interview at some weird hours due to the overseas scheduling issues, we need you guys to EMAIL your questions to warrocketpodcast_at_gmail.com. Get them in before 2PM SATURDAY.

And look for the episode next week! Once again, back is the incredible.

Fathomable Updates

Now that Mysterius The Unfathomable is available from Amazon, you have no excuse to not buy it. Sure, we may have selfish motives as artist Tom Fowler has told me and Sims that he’ll draw us into the second volume of the book. But having read it yesterday finally catching up, it is a masterfully drawn and written series of magical, supernatural mystery and hilarious adventure. Trust us, there’s a reason that Sims & Aaron and Evie won’t shut up about how much they love Mysterius.

Also, Fowler and Jeff Parker have graced us with their presence on our show, so we love to support artists and writers we love. So pick up Mysterius the Unfathomable today.
