Hey guys, I am a noob to these forums, but wanted to say love the podcast and the forum. My question is this, If you could postpone one flagship book each from DC & Marvel, for a year. What would it be & why? & secondly what you like the creative talent on thos to be put to work on instead (still working in their own company respectively) for that year? For example, put batman on hold & put Snyder & Capullo to work on Constantine.

New member and first post! have a question about Marvel's Nova.
Currently they are revealing what happened to him in the Cancerverse, but assuming he truly died, which existing Marvel character (Sam Alexander excused) do you think would be right for the mantle of Nova Prime?
Thanks for your time!

With the cornucopia of different reading influences you have within the TC team have you ever considered creating something yourselves?
I wonder as I have written a few sitcoms and received those ever-so-painful rejection letters but then a few months later I would get the bug again and after I have read something quite thought provoking I find my mind races with my own ideas and concepts which I haven't seen published - do you guys get this? Do you think you have a Magnus Opus in you one day to be unleashed?

Hello!
Sorry I missed the call-in opportunity for the 150th. Congrats!
I have a question I'm hoping you can answer: Whatever happened to Supreme Power/Squadron Supreme by J.M.S. and Gary Frank? It was an *amazing* book (with great tie-in miniseries) that was unquestionably headed somewhere (and I mean it was blatantly stated in one issue that things were apparently going to wind up a certain way), and then it just...stopped. And came back with a different creative team and a wholly (for me) unsatisfying direction and story. Then, in an Ultimate universe miniseries, a couple of characters swapped universes, and the whole thing just kind of...wheezed to a halt, it seemed (though maybe I missed something).
I've searched, on occasion, for the answer to this, and I've not really found any articles, interviews, or anything on this.
And, as a possible follow-up, did anything ever really come out of the character-swap that they did, or did that just peter out, too?
Thank you very much!

Hi, folks! Love the podcast!
I had a few questions I'd like your thoughts on:
* Has storage space for your comic books ever been a cause for concern? Do you have a limit as to how large your collection will get? Have any of you been forced to give up something for the sake of storage; and if so, did you regret it?
* Is there a comic book you either sold or traded away that you later regretted?
* While I think comic books are meant to be read over and over, do you think today's comic books are more condition-sensitive than they were the past few decades or so? (Is it just me, or do comic book covers seem to be of thinner stock in DCs and Marvels as opposed to Archie titles?)
* Do you have a lowest acceptable grade/condition when looking for a back issue?
Thank you very much! Keep up the great work! All your efforts are appreciated!
- Chris

Gail Simone posted a fun question to Tumblr today and I thought you guys might enjoy answering it: If you could go on ONE perfect date with a DC character, whom would you pick? And then same question, with a Marvel character? Not based on their powers, just who you find most attractive or appealing?

If you could have one of your favourite bands create an amazing concept album based on any story in comics, which story would you pick? And which band would you have create the concept album?
I thought of this after just finding out today about Primus' upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-inspired concept album. I think I might have Tool do a concept album based on Pride of Baghdad, or maybe a bunch of songs based off of the character of Spider Jerusalem, as I think that band is great at conveying drug-fuelled experiences through their music, and Maynard sometimes comes across as a Spider Jerusalem kind of guy.
Anyway, enjoying the podcast, and looking forward to the next one!

Hey guys, a few questions that I would love to hear your thoughts on:
- Are there any series that you had low expectations for but, after giving them a shot, was pleasantly surprised? How many issues does it typically take for you to decide that a book is or is not worth reading?
- I have been thinking about starting to read comics electronically to make it easier to read on my commute to and from work. However, I much prefer having physical copies of books to fill up my shelves. What do you think are the pros and cons of having electronic copies vs physical copies?
- I know that you get a lot of 'how to get my friend/sibling/significant other into comics' questions but my mum has recently asked me to put together a list of books that she should read. The only comic/graphic novel that she has ever read is Watchmen and she hated it. She's a big reader of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and mystery books and, being an artist herself, really wants something aesthetically interesting. Any suggestions?
Sorry if you've already answered some of these and I'm being repetitive. Keep up the great work guys!

I'll keep my question short and sweet: How do you all find time to keep up with comics, movies, TV, and video games and are there any aspects of your life that you feel like take a hit due to all of your media intake?

Are there any comic book properties that you think have had a good run but need to be retired as their story has been told???
Conversely, is there one you'd bring back?

Hey guys, I started listening to the podcast last week and it's awesome.
In your opinions, what are the most underrated story lines you've come across?

Sorry to be negative, but this might make for a funny discussion...
What's the WORST single issue or collected story you've read?

Can you guys/gal talk about the Quinspiracy/Gamergate controversy that is going on. Really would love to hear you guys/gal reactions/thoughts.
I know its not about comic books, but the issues/discussions about equality/diversity/journalism that video games deal with seem to parallel comic books, and those two worlds seem to bump into each other and react to each other anyway.
Thanks for your time.
(Yes, I'm the same person as Cam and Keith).
