Yeah as always is doing the exact book that I want to do and publisher. Gets to the retailers in the you know readers find in the store have you seen this."

" Johnson more readers through moral channels -- it open to you know open you up to different marketing opportunities there."

" We I think the main thing the main difference with it being a marvelous probably that even though I'd done a lot of other marble work before you starting. With -- marble you know as a writer for daredevil. Winners are ready for their level a lot of people sorry reading this journal readers are reading them. Com but then went -- and Putin came to marvel itself a lot more and more rigorous tests are reading it. It was still there's a lot people who apparently just. -- The story is just fine. And everybody who reads the story so far -- loving it like artists are just giving like dream game a game you know these are guys do. You know -- this kid I -- and Claus Jensen and dozing habits and then yeah there -- inspirational me and them we're you know on the phone mean Beth Nissen. Jensen C -- and better have a conference call McClellan and they're like really into it really psyched about it and get out. Opt in Minnesota quarterback like wow he's got a site that's amazing that these guys are so into our you know our story and that's cool concern that anything to prove these guys are amazing they already have their legacy Comex going to instill some brand new project and they're bringing. The top notch a game of the projects can be pretty good feeling lifted it in your name attached to that is well you know -- yeah I think that's -- yeah."

" What if you just like the drew like three's three panels a couple every couple weeks and emailed to me for it and just it's Oregon. No but a short to that we -- a couple of months -- monthly -- three -- is -- what's going -- could -- watching --"

" Louisiana. And -- is still. -- And I don't. Yeah. Do every bomb in the city of San Francisco. Every juror. These producers can't get this past what they're releasing stuff and I went and at all resulting stop them. Months. And you can have rock chicks it's. Were not responsible it's on this day.

Different tensions around and went to focus on the kid behind the mask and try it make them more of the same person. Including Yahoo! is easy to forget that there is a kid behind the mask in his tender. I want to sort of bring them closer together. Relations and Robin Batman yeah. I think it's very -- and this morning hi this certainly now that he's been officially -- Tom Reynolds the mentor. Student relationship is -- between him and always has been. Done. Throughout the finally I think that's going to the fact that Tim is a pretty mature kid and also that that it has a lot more experience at Robinson in the first time around his right. Where McCain is doing anything about it visit take a high. Yes I think probably. Bruce Wayne has a lot of respect for children. More -- needed for the other kids who have been around and before him I think he's more -- So I didn't you -- You're you're really. Allen's in my lap I got a phone call from -- Johnson all of last year -- this. There's a possibility edited titans engineers are taking it over and I sit and I just weeks. And you know everything sort of came together after that and it was officially out to me around Thanksgiving last year and I jumped out at with both in you know jumped in -- both speak tonight probably regret that. I'll probably get killed by the fans that. I can't wait did was one of my favorite books growing up and remains so today there's going to be a lot of the same approach -- And I want to really explore that in the book in how they relate to each other they're they're -- room. There aren't a lot of kids that they know outside of their -- into the same kind of experience that we've seen the sort of bond they have delegates more that one of things that sounds like Canada and around looking man on. Yeah tiny little -- on. Go to silence yeah absolutely absolutely yeah. You just can't fight -- just -- you're using animals away. I stop teenagers now I don't. I think I just remember back so when I was that -- in the -- concerns in the kinds of issues I advantage. And I try and plug. It was sort of today's sensibility as much as possible I don't know how accurate I get the language -- lingo I don't really try to beat contemporary with all the slang. But -- concerns it. Today in the same concerns that they were very. Hundreds of years in different forms. It's. More of -- let's -- present -- I don't know."

" didn't and a similar it is the biggest crowd ever seen in my -- came. Because everything kind of did it came momentous moment longer has done more days in the city of -- you'll burn. They -- my heroes day okay just president lied about. Two years ago these these you can Sherman right now. Finals -- another thing about two. Believe me we've gone to much it's. Too much."

" Okay. The yeah. -- nice it is okay."

" He started all this talk about. Despite all the emotion. This is -- good goddamn reason it's on sandy Paul Jenkins is one of my demise there's. -- and India. -- yeah."

" It's doing its. Job yeah. He currently is actually can't felony animal mommy says that you create your privacy. His experience and years they did not read comments at all yeah easier handling on the back units on. Now my jacket -- yeah."

" It's. Always --"

" We."

" I'm here Matt solidity. He's local creative and Telecom comic creator and yes they'll publish so far excellent got a book coming out -- you -- the floor in the Florida yeah well I I've got these self publish books that I did but down last year Larry Young body -- asked to collect the series so for -- three -- and it will never exist in this form -- to go right to the trade rights of the trade after the -- them well what's the name of the book that's called the -- channel and what's the what's the elevator pitch well. It's about a woman is trying to -- 24 hour cable network called the -- channel and of course is a ridiculously stupid idea but that's the hopefully makes for good book so it's -- successes and failures -- trying to do that -- the most and it's because by -- anti -- and it's coming -- main but ordered now -- march previous it's an excellent excellent public departure as a a couple of -- looks really good. That's also greater results and got some excellent art the -- our -- the guy I stand by Iraq's."

" And to a panel. Left me with all the equipment."

" can't walk anymore. When these certain."

" But chin hurt. Fixing going on. I could feel my socks. We had an intern I don't know where he went. There's no hope. No hope."

" It's."

" And then. -- And holes."

" And."

" Yeah. And use."

" So I need to Batman shirt and you and for somebody that's not me. Clearly this is the place to get it going and there's nominee over here in this huge long. That is an insider. I'm going entered room. So if you come follow me this -- The mass of humanity that some sort of bizarre look Arabian disarmament."

" Particular ligament. Correct me if I'm certain while we're doing this."

" Success. Through -- final day of the convention so how's the ministers here."

" Economy really really terrific turn -- You know madness but also manageable and you know great people and controlling a lot of really -- comics to your local bonuses of -- don't destroy out of bed tomorrow at their current bits of -- my life complementing -- Boston which I did. It's sort of been the biggest news that's coming constantly are spending. Yeah Regis and done with Steve -- stories to tell you I'm Mike caught on this is that. The monthly series green arrow here is done. But DC comics or myself or not nearly threw -- green -- the there's there's more started December locked into his character some arm -- seems. You've got such a connection to characters that's when you feel. Walking away five much in light of some of them some of the readers or lack of -- hum. But. Each every time we've turned a corner with green -- and made -- something that like oh well this is in this whole whether your story right here you know whether it was. At the end of crisis and an Ali became mayor I knew that like. He's a hole large story to tell and you know now that's ending maybe there's another large turn to tell after that to make it interesting for me to write for her solid play out."

" So one of things our first trip here wonder condom on after previously ten in New York on -- neo -- what are called a bit of a smaller convention which one might think is a bad thing was actually pretty cool."

" There's lot of events -- smaller Connie Duncan a lot of big. Company boosts our ability to displays digital multimedia TVs is going on. We do did you get smaller more intimate feel needed to really get to -- the creators -- or not there's less of them."

" Because there isn't that has one disadvantage is that their less -- attending. But the critters that are here you got a lot more access to him a lot more time for really good conversations getting -- sketch talked took -- about what to do with that beautifully -- rushed to -- it puts the place to sit and talk to draw and there aren't that many lines haven't seen so many people waiting on -- like -- presidency forty people long the most did not -- none of whom are Catholic and their experience -- exactly another great thing though is that you've got with a lesson in the media boots. -- I mean and at San Diego I always meaning of our Italian and never get there we spent so much time on our side dishonest and really."

" Thing as a with the with the booths here is that the artists have a lot of free time and at all which is like it to be that number to their very friendly though they'll talk seems desperate because there's not as much to crush of people a thousand."

" Not that I had exactly and with the with the -- floor actually not be taken up by the big movie companies in the media companies are seeks to dig up by Rick retailers and gigabytes of great."

" Deals a lot of shopping and -- we we usually we don't shop at times because we're too busy running around talking -- and we actually shopping there's a lot of -- a lot of top American people really -- provides the you know aren't and left because you too much books to consider exactly."

" And thank god we got to -- the New York Friday agreement statues at me like crazy it's it's -- probably good thing. So on yes so if you if you don't get -- San Diego -- just get a New York the F have to go to wonder -- here's -- the other smaller mentioned that happened throughout the country check it matters much different feel a lot more intimate. But -- policy and it's it is awesome experience definitely it's a comic book convention against is not a media comic sending an entertainment experience. That's not happening now okay. Really don't want to live in a world without the comic book technique tell it may it please note due in the problem it's over it's time get over it -- Move on The Beatles -- broken. So what areas of the convention I'm not normally allowed to go to the original art dealers booths. And I'm under strict this allow me to go here it is billed amount of money that I might have this look at it and what they've done is they've got they're -- here -- the wall on the got these books. They can just flip through and yet you know George Torres Simon. -- keeps in there. Forget Eric Larsen. Jim -- right here. Jim we All-Star. Here -- Ross are back that -- Robin. I hated this book but. I'm ready to drop thousands of dollars this page of -- that's so good at the lower the original art. Over there. Right here the president Don Cassidy is a subject than I can even go near there. It's just that we just move on it's just insist that it's really it's it's what's one page one page one Connor one page. It's a -- here with Phil Jimenez it's great counselor from our on the city."

" Thank you under the yeah guests at the time this time around has done that for him the -- great I haven't been to wonder -- about seven years I think so. It's been terrific and -- people been amazing -- Texas and a lot of fun so one of the big news items that came at a discount was view on amazing Spiderman which is very very cool and meanness and this exactly. The content that was the big buzz to Vienna Friday. What you tell us about -- that the -- I am I can tell you very adult basic and doing a Mason's assignment for free comic book day which I think it's may tenth. Also I'm that's my first issue and hopefully they'll keep me around for a few marks it's another one of the big things the news was that this of that big DC. Drawing of the -- the world war three event which is your that was -- right how does it feel to have drawn on such a piece of -- that's not such a big reaction. -- Quite -- I was surprised -- his day is such a bigger action and I remember being -- and is scrambling to. Read the code spam from all these people are kind of that was going on in. Let's kind of -- a way -- is is excited to be trying this characters. Because I just love dot. But it's fun and I you know designs and makes people happy and interested and excited about comics that's great so -- this so much going on an actor on the one of the things that we tended to -- whose idea was it to model -- after the kind of sopranos teaser. Karr was that Jesse would you be. From beginning to and that way stand video and make it you know. What's happening in DC universe is so much about his vision that piece is about his vision its inspiration what is playing out sound. I just how the pants off."

" There's some things that we -- about your work is that in this day of exclusive contracts and stuff like that seems if you do a lot of work for DC but then come back to marvel every couple years and do some high public -- or he did stuff like that. Is that do you do that on purpose because you kind of like to have a hand in both pool or."

" Well there -- multiple reasons one. That the biggest being that. The wake comics are now it is that we are brands you know like this and more than the characters people readers testing be attracted to creators. And so. What that means is he constantly aware than did the product attached here may have to be aware of your brand and so I'd done so much in DC and -- I found that doing a little bit of work for marvel ding -- take -- take -- Spiderman decides incredible value to my brand and I gain a whole bunch of readers says that when I go back and forth. People -- now high end in it's it's an interesting byproduct of this sort of start culture in this and every constantly have now. You know -- but love and hate it it's it's interesting to see. How a single name can -- a 100000 bucks. -- single character can only south point it."

" We're done -- two weeks with its socially. -- little stupid -- People. My voice held up my health held up letting -- in New -- so I -- as -- San -- awesome so a lot of people -- so what we know we -- improvements very cool. That's not a lot of great -- this time around has really cool. I for one do with your home. But I do still of the comics and thank him -- kind of -- think James Simon I think. He's responsible events like stoker took care of us very very cool. And think they'll do it was a time were very. And on if you like to -- if you accept that much like and others had overnight -- and -- you see all or other video podcasts bulls great discussion is not on there and we on your show because we podcast with them. And you can email us at contact and -- dot com. Or you consumers of course you know recalls and what's your percent of its value to -- or you die equipment talkative with. The numbers when hated it then with a 3262697. So we're getting we're going to have an airport hopefully don't miss our flight this time around -- and we rest up for the summer's conventions."

" And."

" Well hey hey you -- Just got back from wonder Khan and we can't -- open a great idea for doing -- work register domain name. Godaddy.com. And in fact I can use the coupon code I -- going to tempers -- purchase that's also. So head over to godaddy hero -- Internet. Now it just."

" There's nothing worse than a bad case of -- legs and hey and welcome to another -- iFanboy this summer and we're here at San at Cisco for another convention -- on the doors just open what we do that here. I don't know let's get in there. We're here at Matt Wagner creator of brand dole and maids in London's river -- and he seems like that so it's -- 25 years it turned on that's kind of what this year is all about -- does that like they did make me feel old at all pet deaths. But it feels -- any in."

It's about a woman is trying to -- 24 hour cable network called the -- channel and of course is a ridiculously stupid idea but that's the hopefully makes for good book so it's -- successes and failures -- trying to do that -- the most and it's because by -- anti -- and it's coming -- main but ordered now -- march previous it's an excellent excellent public departure as a a couple of -- looks really good. That's also greater results and got some excellent art the -- our -- the guy I stand by Iraq's."

" And to a panel. Left me with all the equipment."

" can't walk anymore. When these certain."

" But chin hurt. Fixing going on. I could feel my socks. We had an intern I don't know where he went. There's no hope. No hope."

" It's."

" And then. -- And holes."

I'm going entered room. So if you come follow me this -- The mass of humanity that some sort of bizarre look Arabian disarmament."

" Particular ligament. Correct me if I'm certain while we're doing this."

" Success. Through -- final day of the convention so how's the ministers here."

" Economy really really terrific turn -- You know madness but also manageable and you know great people and controlling a lot of really -- comics to your local bonuses of -- don't destroy out of bed tomorrow at their current bits of -- my life complementing -- Boston which I did. It's sort of been the biggest news that's coming constantly are spending. Yeah Regis and done with Steve -- stories to tell you I'm Mike caught on this is that. The monthly series green arrow here is done. But DC comics or myself or not nearly threw -- green -- the there's there's more started December locked into his character some arm -- seems. You've got such a connection to characters that's when you feel. Walking away five much in light of some of them some of the readers or lack of -- hum. But. Each every time we've turned a corner with green -- and made -- something that like oh well this is in this whole whether your story right here you know whether it was. At the end of crisis and an Ali became mayor I knew that like. He's a hole large story to tell and you know now that's ending maybe there's another large turn to tell after that to make it interesting for me to write for her solid play out."

" So one of things our first trip here wonder condom on after previously ten in New York on -- neo -- what are called a bit of a smaller convention which one might think is a bad thing was actually pretty cool."

" There's lot of events -- smaller Connie Duncan a lot of big. Company boosts our ability to displays digital multimedia TVs is going on. We do did you get smaller more intimate feel needed to really get to -- the creators -- or not there's less of them."

" Because there isn't that has one disadvantage is that their less -- attending. But the critters that are here you got a lot more access to him a lot more time for really good conversations getting -- sketch talked took -- about what to do with that beautifully -- rushed to -- it puts the place to sit and talk to draw and there aren't that many lines haven't seen so many people waiting on -- like -- presidency forty people long the most did not -- none of whom are Catholic and their experience -- exactly another great thing though is that you've got with a lesson in the media boots. -- I mean and at San Diego I always meaning of our Italian and never get there we spent so much time on our side dishonest and really."

" Thing as a with the with the booths here is that the artists have a lot of free time and at all which is like it to be that number to their very friendly though they'll talk seems desperate because there's not as much to crush of people a thousand."

" Not that I had exactly and with the with the -- floor actually not be taken up by the big movie companies in the media companies are seeks to dig up by Rick retailers and gigabytes of great."

" Deals a lot of shopping and -- we we usually we don't shop at times because we're too busy running around talking -- and we actually shopping there's a lot of -- a lot of top American people really -- provides the you know aren't and left because you too much books to consider exactly."

" And thank god we got to -- the New York Friday agreement statues at me like crazy it's it's -- probably good thing. So on yes so if you if you don't get -- San Diego -- just get a New York the F have to go to wonder -- here's -- the other smaller mentioned that happened throughout the country check it matters much different feel a lot more intimate. But -- policy and it's it is awesome experience definitely it's a comic book convention against is not a media comic sending an entertainment experience. That's not happening now okay. Really don't want to live in a world without the comic book technique tell it may it please note due in the problem it's over it's time get over it -- Move on The Beatles -- broken. So what areas of the convention I'm not normally allowed to go to the original art dealers booths. And I'm under strict this allow me to go here it is billed amount of money that I might have this look at it and what they've done is they've got they're -- here -- the wall on the got these books. They can just flip through and yet you know George Torres Simon. -- keeps in there. Forget Eric Larsen. Jim -- right here. Jim we All-Star. Here -- Ross are back that -- Robin. I hated this book but. I'm ready to drop thousands of dollars this page of -- that's so good at the lower the original art. Over there. Right here the president Don Cassidy is a subject than I can even go near there. It's just that we just move on it's just insist that it's really it's it's what's one page one page one Connor one page. It's a -- here with Phil Jimenez it's great counselor from our on the city."

" Thank you under the yeah guests at the time this time around has done that for him the -- great I haven't been to wonder -- about seven years I think so. It's been terrific and -- people been amazing -- Texas and a lot of fun so one of the big news items that came at a discount was view on amazing Spiderman which is very very cool and meanness and this exactly. The content that was the big buzz to Vienna Friday. What you tell us about -- that the -- I am I can tell you very adult basic and doing a Mason's assignment for free comic book day which I think it's may tenth. Also I'm that's my first issue and hopefully they'll keep me around for a few marks it's another one of the big things the news was that this of that big DC. Drawing of the -- the world war three event which is your that was -- right how does it feel to have drawn on such a piece of -- that's not such a big reaction. -- Quite -- I was surprised -- his day is such a bigger action and I remember being -- and is scrambling to. Read the code spam from all these people are kind of that was going on in. Let's kind of -- a way -- is is excited to be trying this characters. Because I just love dot. But it's fun and I you know designs and makes people happy and interested and excited about comics that's great so -- this so much going on an actor on the one of the things that we tended to -- whose idea was it to model -- after the kind of sopranos teaser. Karr was that Jesse would you be. From beginning to and that way stand video and make it you know. What's happening in DC universe is so much about his vision that piece is about his vision its inspiration what is playing out sound. I just how the pants off."

" There's some things that we -- about your work is that in this day of exclusive contracts and stuff like that seems if you do a lot of work for DC but then come back to marvel every couple years and do some high public -- or he did stuff like that. Is that do you do that on purpose because you kind of like to have a hand in both pool or."

" Well there -- multiple reasons one. That the biggest being that. The wake comics are now it is that we are brands you know like this and more than the characters people readers testing be attracted to creators. And so. What that means is he constantly aware than did the product attached here may have to be aware of your brand and so I'd done so much in DC and -- I found that doing a little bit of work for marvel ding -- take -- take -- Spiderman decides incredible value to my brand and I gain a whole bunch of readers says that when I go back and forth. People -- now high end in it's it's an interesting byproduct of this sort of start culture in this and every constantly have now. You know -- but love and hate it it's it's interesting to see. How a single name can -- a 100000 bucks. -- single character can only south point it."

" We're done -- two weeks with its socially. -- little stupid -- People. My voice held up my health held up letting -- in New -- so I -- as -- San -- awesome so a lot of people -- so what we know we -- improvements very cool. That's not a lot of great -- this time around has really cool. I for one do with your home. But I do still of the comics and thank him -- kind of -- think James Simon I think. He's responsible events like stoker took care of us very very cool. And think they'll do it was a time were very. And on if you like to -- if you accept that much like and others had overnight -- and -- you see all or other video podcasts bulls great discussion is not on there and we on your show because we podcast with them. And you can email us at contact and -- dot com. Or you consumers of course you know recalls and what's your percent of its value to -- or you die equipment talkative with. The numbers when hated it then with a 3262697. So we're getting we're going to have an airport hopefully don't miss our flight this time around -- and we rest up for the summer's conventions."
