Atomika power, and Angel after the fall

That comic shop you visit every week probably has a few secrets – books you walk right by and never notice. ComicMix Radio is taking it on ourselves to ferret out these gems and share each one. Who knows what we might find – starting today with the story of a creator who took his love of Jack Kirby and created a bigger than life series which has already reached eight issues. Get ready for the world of Atomika, plus:

  • How a cancelled TV show became a red hot new comic series
  • More Zombie sell outs at Marvel
  • Even though Elvis is dead, Tom Swift is alive and well (he said expressley)

Stop staring at the pretty picture and Press The Button!

Donald Trump, Gene Simmons & Goofy!

The tradition of late night TV hosts is a rich one here in the U.S. but today ComicMix Radio takes you across the boarder for a preview of a show that has been around for at least a couple of decades. Meet Ed (he’s the sock puppet) and Red (that would be the girl) from Ed & Red’s Night Party, which is now accessible here – and wait until you hear about their comic connections.

And, on this Thanksgiving Day, we’ve got:

•  Dynamic Forces digging up The Adolescent Hamsters

•  GI Joe getting his Baroness

•  Donald Trump, Gene Simmons & Goofy, all headed back to the small and big screens

Have a great holiday. We’ll talk to you again late Saturday from the floor of The Mid-Ohio Con in Columbus. Until then, drop the drumstick and Press The Button!

Kyle Baker Appears, Frank Frazetta Disappears

The great thing about comic conventions in New York City is the fact you can literally run into anybody. Creators  show up as guests and fans, too, so you never know who might be standing next to you digging into that long white box full of half-price Lois Lanes. On the floor of this weekend’s National, we ran into an old friend who also is one of the most creative people in the business – Kyle Baker – and we’ll share that comment here on ComicMix Radio, plus:

• Another Frank Frazetta comic disappears from the shelves

• Shut off the TV – there are some very cool new shows on the web including new Lost!

• Asterix hits the gaming world
