This is the place to discuss the episodes of the Comic Book Page podcast, the Comic Book Page website or pretty much anything else of interest to the Comic Book Page community...
We'll do the January Previews call on Friday Jan 4th @ 5pm pacific time. Starting with the Indies this month....
Also, Cameron just sent John & I an advance copy of the Excel sheet, which John has up here: http://www.ComicBookPage.com/Podcast/Da ... ry2008.xls (approved for download by Cameron for us to use on the Previews call). It still needs a few tweaks (coupon codes are not working yet, for one thing) but all the discounts are listed.
Submissions should be in by Saturday Evening, Jan 12th, but sending them in earlier would be good too
Here are some books John & I particularly have our eyes on for January....

I share some of those. New Frontier and TSSTG especially. And since I finally got a mic I can add a couple of my own. I hope you guys will forgive me for not joining in on the Previews call. It is usually too chaotic, my kids running through the house. Still if I can get there, I will sure try. I have enjoyed the spotlight, and think it is a great addition to Previews.

That is annoying. They should have at least waited a month to list the collected edition.
