As you may remember, the AudioShocker was in the Podcast Arena at the 2011 New York Comic Con. Neal and I hung out at our booth, sold lots of self-published comics, and I even got to see the announcement of Ross's new Glory relaunch.
For me, one of the highlights of the show was meeting tons of awesome comic book fans. At our table, we hosted an AudioShocker Trivia Challenge where attendees could answer questions and win some kickass comics.
I started off by awarding sets of comics to fans who answered three questions correctly. But by Saturday afternoon, I ran out of sets! However, people still wanted to take the Trivia Challenge... so I started giving out my own self-published comics.
Now, for your viewing enjoyment, here are our illustrious winners:
To the best of my memory, here's what I gave away (from top to bottom):
- Mutant X #1-17
- A chunk of Aquaman and Adventure Comics (19 consecutive issues, including the Death of a Prince storyline)
- Chaos War #1-5 miniseries
- John Byrne's full run on West Coast Avengers
- Whilce Portacio's arc on X-Factor where they send baby Cable into the future
- A year of electric blue Superman (54 issues... some signed by Ron Frenz)
- WildCATs #1-13 (the Lobdell relaunch)
- A big hunk of Kyle Baker's Plastic Man
- The original WildCATs #1-4
- Christopher Priest's run on Steel
- The New Time Log (2 of 3)
- Zombie Palin (3rd edition)
- I forgot to take a picture, but I also gave away the full original run of Xombi.
DAMN! That's a lot of comics :)
Dan, Shawn, Juan, and Nick talk about shows! Conventions, expos, festivals, fairs.
We're talking about SMALL SHOWS (for example, PIX)...
...versus BIG SHOWS (for example, NYCC).
What makes a comic book show "small" or "big"? Is it scale? Is it theme?
What makes more sense for an indie comics creator? We discuss table cost, freebies, making personal connections, and tons more. Shows covered include: PIX, SPACE, Pittsburgh Comicon, SPX, NYCC, and more.
Ross recaps his titillating New York Comic Con 2011 experience, including the announcement of his latest project, Glory. And... is it time for Ross to have a Morrison-esque psychedelic awakening?
Then we answer questions!!! We field Creature Girl's final post from Ross' long-running deviantART feedback thread. Ross rants about shared universes and Nick raves about comic book covers like this, this, this, this, and this.
And after the end theme (about an hour in), we answer Brandon's questions from last episode's comments. Also... The Fart from Secret Fort Mountain Awesome!!!
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!!!
