love the new top-of-the-home-page banner depictions, much more accurate than the previous.

Love the new format. Great production quality and great content. Really liked the guest reviewers; the three-way opinions brought out some interesting counter-reactions and added some frisson to the proceedings. The “This American Life”-esque packages were really well done.
And it was great to hear Bob Byrne expressing his well balanced opinions again; his carefully considered views on the Irish comic scene are sorely missed.

The new, structured format, the third (and fourth) contributing voice, the considered reviews, the focused interviews, all invested with a good-natured sense of fun, wit and personality – it’s a fitting expression of the Irish creative scene and its interests. Looking forward to the next one.

I’m quite downcast, ha ha. Crestfallen, too. I enjoyed them all, with a couple exceptions where an interview was droning on too long, so I skipped to end of it.

Here’s a couple nicknames for ya if ya want ‘em:
Liam – the Cornetto Kid
Craig – the Ultimate Insider

Cheers, mates!

A despicable American. But Captain America was never my captain. Vicki Pollard is the heart and soul of modern Britain. But who’s the emblematic Irishman? Shane MacGowan? Brendan Behan? Colm Meaney? I saw Meaney in the “sexy flesh” at the premier of that “Intermission” movie in Cambridge, MA. Lots of Micks in Boston, of course, and the premiere was well-attended. Pity it was such a rubbish film. But there ya go.

But that accent kind of grates. It’s Scottish, isn’t it? He sounds a lot like Eddie Campbell, but no way near as sententious. Anyway, sorry to be negative again.

I listened to the whole interview when they had him over on Inkstuds, couldn’t bring myself to listen to another one all the way through. I think his parents were college professors, weren’t they? and he got a degree in philosophy?? raises some real red flags for me. “Three Paradoxes”?? WTF?

sorry to be negative. love the show to bits otherwise.

So I gather from another episode what you didn’t grow up as bosom buddies together after all. When, and how, in actual point of fact, did you two meet? Is that covered in the first show? I don’t think I’ve listened to that yet.

Cheers!

]]> Comment on BREAKING NEWS by Sid Clark http://thecomiccast.com/2010/09/08/breaking-news/#comment-6529 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:15:37 +0000 http://thecomiccast.com/?p=1008#comment-6529 The Irish constitute the sinister gang group the Ducky Boys in the movie, “The Wanderers”. This video reminds me of that. Took me years to figure it out, though, since it’s not spelled out in the film. Good film, though, except the casting of that obese opera singer as the leader of the skinheads. Pity about the star, Ken Wahl, getting that horrible spinal injury that sidelined him for life.

Cheers!

Love the high-energy! Love the lingo! I’m quarter Irish myself and it does me proud.

I’m quite an old duffer and have been a fan, off and on, of comics since the early ’70s. I don’t buy many comics any more but I still like to listen to younger people discussing them for some reason.

Great to hear Messrs. Shalvey and Mooney wittering on. I also want to add to the opinion that The Comic Cast does a brilliant & essential job. I certainly wouldn’t know half of what’s going on in the Irish comic scene without the effort you two put in.
I don’t care if you never read another comic Liam just keep doing the interviews. Anyway, Craig’s opinions on comics are worth two Jonathon Ross’ any day.

Enjoyed the alcohol element, how very Irish of me. Thanks a million for mentioning Half Past Adnger and the deal with IDW, much appreciated. One teeny correction though: It’s DAVE Hendrick who’s writing the back-up story, not his brother John, who is the proprietor of the fine BIg Bang comic book store in Dundrum. A big detail you guys didn’t mention there is the fact that the art for that story will be provided by one Mr. Declan Shalvey.

]]> Comment on The Comic Cast: Back from Summer Break by Andrew http://thecomiccast.com/2012/10/02/the-comic-cast-back-from-summer-break/#comment-6105 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:37:37 +0000 http://thecomiccast.com/?p=1443#comment-6105 Great to hear you back on the air lads. Enjoyed the news update show.

Once piece of news that you neglected to mention was the hugely entertaining open debate over the last month between Dave Sim (Cerebus, Glamourpuss) and Kim Thompson of Fantagraphics (his former nemesis) on The Comics Journal. Its worth getting up to speed on this if you have a week or two to spare: http://www.tcj.com/dave-sim-responds-to-the-fantagraphics-offer/

In summary, fire destroys a load of original Cerebus negatives in August while they were being scanned for digital release. Sim dramatically threatens to quit comics and get rid of his 30 year archive of art via 1-800-GOT-JUNK. Kim Thompson steps up with an offer to reprint the commercial parts of Cerebus. Dave Sim, the standard-bearer of self-publishing, insists that negotiations take place in public and makes increasingly bizarre demands. An amazing open contract negotiation then takes place in the comments section below the above article. Insanity ensues.

Then, out of the blue, Sim announces a deal, arranged in secret, with IDW to republish a retrospective. Everyone says a collective “WTF!?!”

Brilliant, entertaining stuff.

Great to have you boys back. I’ve really missed the show, and enjoyed this one as much as I always do. That said, I have a request… PLEASE continue your tradition of staging a massive Christmas/End of Year blowout show, as I’ve come to love listening to them while drawing over the christmas holliers. They’re always up there with my favourite podcast eps of the year, in Adam + Joe territory. Yet another request: LET ME BE IN IT. That hack Shalvey is always getting his oar in, I want a piece of that action. I wanna do a bit about Half Past Danger and christmas itself. Whaddya think? I can rope some of them other Micks in if needs be I guess…
CHRISTMAS EPISODE! Please.

I like christmas. And episodes.
