Episode 59 Notes

Here are the official show notes for Episode 59: The Fresh Pod of Bel-Air.  We start off the show talking about Wicked, which Anthony saw this week.

The Wolverine Sneak Preview

The sequel to X-Men Origins: Jimmy Logan the Wolverine, just titled, The Wolverine is clawing up theaters on July 26, 2013.  To amp up for this Fox just released a six second trailer for the movie that they released on Vine, which is a really cool and interesting way to release this sort of content.  Needless to say you don’t get much but the six seconds you do have look pretty cool.  Check out the trailer here.

Over 700 Marvel Titles For FREEEEEEEE!!!!!

If you are a regular reader of comics or haven’t started yet, Marvel has announced an initiative to get new readers on board and it’s probably the greatest comic promotion of all time.  Free Comic Book Day has nothing on this. 

On the Marvel Comics App for your smartphone, they have over 700 #1 issues of darn near every digital comic Marvel has available.  It’s an astonishing selection and a great opportunity to either add a digital version of these comics to your collection or start reading some of the titles you’ve wanted to read.

They have some new releases from the Marvel Now era like All New X-Men #1, Deadpool #1, Superior Spider-Man #1, and Uncanny Avengers #1. They have classic titles that started it all like Avengers #1, Captain America Comics #1, Fantastic Four #1, and Amazing Fantasy #15 (first appearance of Spider-Man).  Plus a tremendous amount of Ultimate Comics and Annuals.  Like Joss Whedon? They even have the Astonishing X-Men #1 book that started Anthony and my recent love of comics plus his epic Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men Part 1 and 2 that concluded his run on the Astonishing X-Men series.  Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size?  Yep. Kevin Smith’s Daredevil #1? Totally. Over 40 books by Brian Michael Bendis?  Abso-freaking-lutely.

This promotion is running for free until Tuesday at midnight, so don’t delay.  Just be aware that due to server issues, purchases will work but it may take a while to download some of these books.
