Comic Books You Can Hear
You make no excuses that you’re a superhero fan. You buy your weekly stack of comics. You watch the blockbuster movies. You tune in to the TV shows. How can you possibly cram more superhero adventure in your life? Audiobooks. You can listen to comics while commuting, driving, or walking. (We’re not going to list exercising. We’re talking about fanboys here, after all.)
I just happened on GraphicAudio.net and figured it was worth mentioning here, as the company offers DC Comics based audio adventures and the tagline “A movie in your mind.” The recordings feature full cast, special effects, and musical score. They’re available as an audio CD, an MP3 CD, or as a digital download. They even adapt massive events like 52 and Infinite Crisis.
There are currently seven recordings available:
- 52: Part 1
- 52: Part 2
- Batman: The Stone King
- Infinite Crisis: Part 1
- Infinite Crisis: Part 2
- JLA: Exterminators
- Superman: The Never Ending Battle
While I lightly mocked fans who buy these, I have to confess, I own the BBC audio adaptations of Batman: Knightfall and The Death and Life of Superman. And I loved them. Anyone know how to convert cassettes into MP3s?
i have the cassettes too… you can buy a peripheral to convert…or you can buy them on CD – they rereleased them under different titles a few years ago
They are also all around the web. I've found copies of Death of Supes, Knightfall, Kingdom Come (which was amazing) and even an old FF radio show with Bill Murray as Johnny Storm!!!
I can kind of picture that if Johnny's mocking Ben a lot.
We have listened to Infinite Crisis and 52 on various road trips and they were very well produced and quite entertaining. And had the added bonus of making those "mini-series" make sense, which was the best feature of all!
Going to request that my library get these.
