Listen to Everything Blows #10 right now:
Sleepwalkin’ pt 3 of 4!
Announcing the Sleepwalker Fanart Contest! We’re giving away the entire run of Sleepwalker — 34 weird issues! — to one lucky listener. Draw Sleepwalker or write some Sleepwalker fanfic and submit it to us with a link in the comments no later than Monday, November 11th. We’ll name the winner on our next episode!!!
We kick off this episode with a discussion about the brand-spanking-new X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer.
We ask ourselves: “Who would I be if I could be any mutant in the DoFP movie?” Ross Campbell would be Marrow and Nick Marino would be Mole.
Next up, we tumble into nine terrible issues of the early 90s catastrophe that is Sleepwalker #17-24 (and the Holiday special!). Brett Blevins and Mike Manley depart as Kelly Krantz and John Lowe assume the roles of penciler and inker.
Everybody’s got a hand in the chaos, from Bob Budiansky’s overwritten scripts to Krantz and Lowe’s awkward linework to Marie Javins’s sloppy colors to Richard Starkings’s wonky letters. Ross made some gnarly scans.
But as rough as these issues are at times, they’re still packed full of goofy mainstream superhero wackiness.
After the end theme… comic book news! (sorta)
Next: Our review marathon ends with Sleepwalker #25-33.
