Comics, Movies, Fighting Games, and Pop Culture. 3 New Podcasts Every Week!
Our New York Comic Con 2011 recap! Neal and Nick exhibited on the far end of Artist Alley in the Podcast Arena. Find out how it went! (Hint: It was good.)
Also, it's our 200th anniversary episode, so we talk about... uhhhhh... whatever the fuck we want. Yeaaaah. NYCC. Neal and Ross hanging out. Lenticular.
This episode was recorded LIVE in Brooklyn. In Neal's apartment. On Neal's bed. With a fuzzy laptop.
There's no new HyperComboCast today because WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK to help us build a badass episode for next Monday. Email hypercombocast@gmail.com with your comments, suggestions, and questions. You can also call 412-567-7606 to leave us a message that we'll play on the podcast.
There's also another reason why HyperComboCast is on break this week -- because I was at the New York Comic Con. You can check out some pictures I posted over the weekend, or read my NYCC 2011 recap I posted last night. And make sure to tune in for AudioShocker Podcast #200 tomorrow where Neal and I will discuss our NYCC experience and celebrate our mega anniversary episode!
New York Comic Con 2011! We're at table D15 in Artist Alley in the Podcast Arena, selling podcast collections and self-published comics!
Here's Neal showing off his sweet t-shirt:
Here are a few of the awesome original comics we're selling at NYCC:
Here's Ross talking at the Image Comics Creator-Owned panel on Friday when they announced his new book, a relaunch of Rob Liefeld's Glory:
And here's our sign for the AudioShocker Trivia Challenge:
Catch you at the show!!!
Over one hour of hot Ross and Nick conversation! We're getting ready for NYCC 2011, so we discuss Ross' signing schedule with Oni and Image, plus what's happening at the AudioShocker booth!
The AudioShocker will be located at table D15 on the far side of Artist Alley... in the PODCAST ARENA!
Also, Ross discusses what it was like going to art school at SCAD, the Savannah College of Art and Design. (Thx to Nimhsay for today's topic)
Chances are SCAD looked nothing like this when Ross was there.
Also, Nick names off a bunch of comics that you can win at the AudioShocker booth (if he can manage to get them to the show, that is). [NOTE: Immediately after recording this episode, Nick threw out his back... so don't count on any heavy collections making it to New York!]
FIRST: After some food talk, Nick does a short recap of last weekend's PIX (Pittsburgh Indy Comics Expo). (You can read his thoughts on Day 1 and Day 2.)

THEN: Neal re-watched Back to School and found it poignant. Nick saw Balance of Power starring Billy Blanks and loved it.
AND: A little New York Comic Con conversation, a missed connection, Neal watched Tron Legacy, and he hates backup content for films and TV shows.
AFTER THE END THEME: Nick teases the prizes you can win from the AudioShocker at this weekend's NYCC!!!
We want your feedback!!! In fact, HyperComboCast #18 (in two weeks) is gonna made out of your feedback! Kenny set up a new email address -- hypercombocast@gmail.com -- and he wants to hear from you. We're even taking a one week break to give you time to hit us up. Send us questions, comments, and rants... we'll read 'em on the show!
Later this week, Nick's gonna be at New York Comic Con... so stop by and say hi! He's gonna have comics, podcast collections, prizes, and more! Find the AudioShocker at table D15 in Artist Alley.
Then Kenny and Nick close out the show with some thoughts about the new Dead or Alive 5 trailer. Is it gameplay? Is it just a fancy trailer thingy? Or is it some sort of elaborate cut scene?
Oh... and... BEAR FART HYPER COMBO.
Juggernaut by Scott Hedlund
The creator of our Good Bad Guys theme joins the fray! That's right -- the unstoppable Scott Hedlund is stopping by the Basement to check in on us and make sure we're doing it right.
Here's what he has to say about his drawing:
Everyone has a bad day and sometimes you just need a hug. But when you string a series of bad days together, you should expect a Juggernaut-sized hug! Enter: the Huggernaut! Equipped with an unstoppable need to give you a squeeze! His Crimson Bands reflect the tender core of this often misunderstood behemoth. Can anything stop the Huggernaut? How about some brotherly love?
Hehehe good one! Before we close out for today, I gotta send a mega huge THX to Scott for helping to revive Project Basement. I was ready to let this feature die a dishonorable death, but Scott saved the day and breathed some life back into it with his theme suggestion.
NEXT: Project Basement takes a week off while I head to the New York Comic Con. But we'll be back on in two weeks with a surprise!
The Time Ripple has completed its realignment of history. And now... the conclusion of Time Log begins!

The band's back together!!! Welcome back Paige and Justique -- you both did a fantastic job on today's comic :)
You can meet and greet (almost) all of the Time Log creative crew this weekend at PIX: The Pittsburgh Indy Comics Expo. Sadly, Pete won't be there... but you can kick it with me (Nick), Shawn, Paige, and Justique! Meet us in person and see if we look like our characters (hint: only one of us does). PIX is this Saturday and Sunday from 10-5.
AND... if you say the special phrase, you'll get a fantastic Time Log discount at my table! The special phrase is: SUPER-INTELLIGENT ULTRA-VIOLENT UNICORNS (and don't forget to mention this blog post to jog my memory!)
We're probably going to have to skip next week (not definitely but most likely) because I'll be in in the Big Apple for the New York Comic Con. Neal and I will be representing the AudioShocker in the Podcast Arena (near Artists Alley). I'll have copies of Time Log (the one-shot, plus the first two webcomics collections). So stop by and say hi!
FIRST: A call-in from Justin Rivers of the Distro1 podcast. He talks about his scrapped comics project (a topic we discussed on the show back in SU #22).
THEN: What's a bindlestiff? WAIT... WHO CARES? Shawn Atkins and Nick Marino recap their 24-Hour Comics Day 12-Hour Comics Day experience at the Toonseum. Shawn showed up 45 minutes late... but Dan Greenwald showed up 11 hours late!

Shawn did an artistic Gello Apocalypse story, while Nick drew a dramatic Stick Cats tail tale. Dan talks about past 24HCDs, including his 2010 story, Spacebase 01.
PLUS: It's time for PIX! Everybody's excited about the second year of Pittsburgh's fledgling indie comics show. Dan'll have more copies of Spacebase 01, Blue Wraith minicomics, and more. Shawn'll have this year's and last year's 24-hour comics, Phoenix 9, Explorers of the Unknown, Gello Apocalypse, and hopefully some prints.
Nick will have tons of comics both old and new (see above) including Zombie Palin, Super Haters, Time Log, Stick Cats, Passage, XLK, and more!
NEXT: A PIX and NYCC Recap!
DEEPCASTING! First up, it's MicroMachines, Galoob, and John Moschitta Jr.
THEN: Nick is confused about the gender revolution and he wants your help. Is Lil B's "I'm Gay" album title enlightened or a marketing ploy? (BTW, we call him Lil E... whoops!) Are Nick and Neal losing touch with youth culture?
AND: Nick watched the b-movie musical The Apple and it was fucking weird.
PLUS: Neal and Nick bond over their hatred of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. John Waters was Nick's favorite director when he was a kid.
AFTER THE END THEME: Nick shares a secret about his childhood and tries to force Neal to do the same.
