We couldn’t let the year go without this wonderful holiday greeting from our friend Liam Sharp & family:
You can check out all of Liam’s offerings at his Mamtor site, which also includes this intriguing preview for something called Viking Zombie Elvis:
Did you spot the Simon Bisley cameo? I think Paul Neary may be in there as well…
When you stop to think about it, there are a lot of similarities in the stories of Dorothy and Alice and now the connection is much deeper than we ever imagined. The critically acclaimed indy series Oz – Wonderland Chronicles might have passed you by, take a minute for ComicMix Radio as we preview the title with one of the creators. Plus:• It’s finally a Merry Middle Earth Christmas
• Got an idea for a super heroine? Shadowline is listening!
• It’s seven-in-a-row for The X-Men arc "The Messiah Complex"
Press The Button now, and pass the eggnog!
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!
This face sells comics! Move over Messiah Complex, DC now has a hot story line that’s selling out – in fact, THREE titles are long gone this week! Meanwhile, ComicMix Radio gets ready to head to The National Comic Con in NYC and:

• Artist Amanda Conner gives us a preview of her new Terra mini-series on the way from DC

The Big ComicMix Broadcast starts our Second One Hundred with an exclusive preview of another Phase Two Project cooking up FREE from ComicMix. You take a cute girl, toss in a cartoon dinosaur and stir up a lot of wacky adventures and out pops Andrew Pepoy’s The Adventures of Simon & Ajax!
Plus Superman has the Deadline Doom, the Top Ten Comics & Graphic Novels are revealed and we play a game of "Where Did I Hear That Before"??

On Sunday, The New York Times gave Warner Home Video’s forthcoming direct-to-DVD adaptation of Daryn Cooke’s The New Fontier the preview treatment, ahead of its "official" preview in San Diego later this week.
Noting the D2DVD will be one of three "adult-oriented DC projects," the Times noted neither Wonder Woman nor Lois Lane made the first cut in the movie. As you can see from the above art, WW was restored after Cooke’s objected – as was Lois.
The 70 minute feature directed by Dave Bullock will be released in February.
Joe Dante, who directed the Gremlins films, Small Soldiers, Matinee, Amazon Women on the Moon and five episodes of Eerie, Indiana, is launching a new website. According to Variety, Trailers from Hell lets directors record commentary tracks to scary movie trailers, which you can then pick up on line or on your cell phone.
Besides Joe, other directors on the site are Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz), Mick Garris (the television versions of The Shining and The Stand), and Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary).
You can see the site at trailersfromhell.com, and Sprint’s Fun Little Movie channel.
The holiday heat is finally cooling down and I can finally take the headphones off and sit back with a frosty iced tea and gather up all the news and notes from this week’s round of Big ComicMix Broadcasts:
