The very first episode of The Missfits will be online tomorrow morning over on Talking Comics' podcast feed. Please check out the show that Melissa, Mara and I put lots of time and effort into getting ready and let us know what you think. The show description for this week is below and we're so excited (and nervous) to be sharing it with you. YOU were the ones that helped make this happen, so thank you for the encouragement. ------------------
Thanks to everyone asking about a podcast featuring the ladies of Talking Comics, a new podcast is debuting today on the site. That podcast is The Missfits, featuring your hosts: Stephanie Cooke, Mara Wood and Melissa Megan, who you might be familiar with in varying degrees from around the site. This new podcast is a geek centric podcast focused on all things geek, including comics, video games, TV shows, movies, books and more, but all from the perspective of female fans (that’s us!). On our first show, our main topic that takes place in the second half of the show is She-Hulk. The ladies got educated on the green amazon and do a little roundtable discussion on the character and some of the books that she’s featured in. Additionally, the ladies give out some recommendations for things you should be checking out, including The Bunker, The Wolf Among Us, Nisekoi, Shiro Cosmetics, Arrow, The Shining Girls and more. Stay tuned for more information on us… we’ll be updating our next podcast page with info on our new feed channel that you can subscribe to. For now, we’ll be a part of the Talking Comics channel, so we hope you enjoy us enough to check out what’s to come. The Missfits are: Stephanie Cooke – hellocookieMara Wood – megamaramonMelissa Megan – lissapunchAND The Missfits are on Twitter @the_Missfits

Stephanie, Melissa, and Mara,
What a great maiden effort! (Ouch!)
A great conversation among friends that was very informative, and more importantly, a boat-load of fun to listen to!
Congratulations!!!

Mahna Mahna!
Just listened to it, and for a first episode it was pretty good.
Seems like none of you loved the new She-Hulk book as much as i did, but i understand that you didn't really like the art.I personally don't mind it, but i get that its not for everybody.
Oh and hearing all of you talk about the Dan Slott run is going to make me re-read all of it i think, that run is amazing.

Well Done ladies!
I really liked the She Hulk talk. I don't know She Hulk well but I did read the new book. I agree with Steph. I thought the story was great but the art bothered me. The forms were great but the faces look weird to me.
Anyway I liked that you debated and stayed with the topic for a while it really helped me to get to know the character more. Thank you!
You guys are awesome! I look forward to more episodes!

Really like the idea behind the podcast, enjoyed the podcast itself as well. You'll work the kinks out with figuring out who goes when.
The Bunker was terrific. I liked the sketchy art-style.

After you guys got comfortable again (like Stephanie said, you were nervous) the conversation flowed so naturally. Well done! Can't wait to hear more.
One thing though: No listener questions section?

Really enjoyed the first episode, but really I consider this the second episode after y'all did an excellent Women in Comics episode last year, maybe in August or September? Anyway, I like that each of you brings something unique to the table and have an easy rapport with one another, makes for a pleasant listen. The episode was at its best when the conversation was flowing between the three of you and naturally progressing from topic to topic. And Stephanie did a nice job moderating to balance keeping the discussion on topic while letting there be some natural flow.
I would love to hear more about Mara's research looking into how comic books may be used at a tool in therapy. Also, as a geek parent, I'd enjoy hearing Melissa do some nature vs. nerdture type segments (although I recognize that your identity extends far beyond just being a parent!). And Stephanie story time is always entertaining.
Looking forward to the next episode!

Great show! I really liked this episode and am looking forward to hearing more of the pop culture we all love get recognized. It was great hearing about The Wolf Among us and checking in on the Manga scene with Mara as that's a huge reason why I'm into comics and decided to make them for a living. It was just refreshing to hear the ladies of Talking Comics and I'm stoked about whats coming next! Stephanie you rock, and this segment has the power to become the voice for so many female fans and readers, such a good time to be into comics.

Great show, guys. Congratulations on the first episode and here's to many more. The dynamic is really interesting with the three of you.
You guys bringing up the topless Arrow ads in DC books made me laugh. My partner was showing an interested clerk a copy of FBP in a jewellery store a few months back and flicked open a random page as an example with the prefix of "Not sure what it's about but...". Of course Buff Arrow's pecks were Fate's chosen example and she came over all unnecessary.

I really enjoyed your first podcast! Your intermission music is much better than talking comics! But you should shorten it a little.

Not the greatest podcast I have listened to, but has potential to. You just need to build your confidence which will come over time and practice.
