Only two days and counting until the next exciting phase of ComicMix debuts!  Lots of familiar names with brand-new comics work, a couple of whom also double as regular columnists.  Speaking of which, here are our contributions from the last week of September:

Mellifluous Mike Raub is smoothly into triple digits with his Big ComicMix Broadcasts; here’s what he’s had for us this past week:

And Media Queen Martha Thomases has been previewing our comics offerings for the last couple of weeks; here’s a compendium to get you up to speed:

Hope you’ll join us this coming Tuesday as we debut our free comics content by some of the industry’s greatest luminaries!  Did I mention free yet?

All hail the autumnal equinox, which crept in at 5:51 AM today!  Yes, we were awake for it, thanks to affection-demanding cats.  For us, autumn is the season of excitement and change, and that certainly applies to ComicMix, as you all know.  But one thing that’s staying the same is our great lineup of core columnists; here’s what we’ve had for you this past week:

Meanwhile, Mellifluous Mike Raub has reached that pinnacle at last, the hundredth Big ComicMix Broadcast!  Here’s that one and the ones surrounding it:

Way to go, Mike!

L’shana tova ComicMix!

Yeah, I’m psyched for this next year as well.  Even though I’m strictly a "Phase One" gal for now, ComicMix‘s next incarnation has me excited over lots of good reading ahead.  But let’s not let the weekly columns get lost in the shuffle:

Are we there yet, Mellifluous Mike Raub?  Almost to one hundred Big ComicMix Broadcasts:

May you all be inscribed in the Book of Much Nachas (that’s nachas, not nachos) for the sweetest and healthiest of years!

Once again I’m here at home base whilst my ComicMix colleagues have more convention fun, this time at Baltimore where, just about at the time you read this, The Big Announcement will be made.  I do hope it’s good news!  Meanwhile, let’s not forget that we "Phase One-ers" are still around cranking out our weekly columns:

And of course, Mellifluous Mike Raub edges ever closer to the hundredth Big ComicMix Broadcast:

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow, folks!

I’ll be travelling today, hoping everyone else had plans to take to their cars either yesterday or tomorrow, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t leave you with some fine  ComicMix columns from his past week, all well worth reading:

And for your listening pleasure, Mellifluous Mike Raub brings you the Big ComicMix Broadcasts as always:

And, of course, check out Mike’s weekly Stories Behind The Big Broadcast.

Have a swinging September, y’all!

Two of our comic friends’ posts follow up on news we reported here earlier on two ongoing contests.  Becky Cloonan notes that she was selected as one of the 18 finalists in the first-ever International Manga Awards, first mentioned on ComicMix back on May 25.  Way to go, Becky!  The winners are listed at the Japanese Consulate’s website.  And Heidi MacDonald lists the winners in the Life Without Fair Courts contest, first mentioned on ComicMix back on February 25.  Congratulations to all the participants and winners!  Speaking of winners, Glenn Hauman rejoined our ComicMix columnists this past week; here’s our weekly wrapup:

The ever-dependable Mellifluous Mike Raub is still helming our terrific Big ComicMix Broadcasts:

Winning entries all!

The week long look at the toy scene on The Big ComicMix Broadcast gave us a stack of sticky notes to pass on. Grab your mouse and dive in!

• We were only able to touch on the vast quantity of exclusive figures offered by Time And Space toys. There is a lot to see at their online store here . Make sure you have some time to spend when you go there as you will get lost in the virtual aisles – and it won’t hurt to have your wallet handy either.

• If getting your prize toys graded and preserved is of interest, then here is where you should go to explore the services of Action Figure Authority. One thing we found of interest is that they offer "plexicases" that open and close if you just prefer to get your prizes something cool to be stored in rather than have them sealed and graded.

• News on Mattel’s plans for the DC Universe heroes is coming out a bit at a time and the best place to get advance looks at the new lines are on the better action figure bulletin boards. Those include Action Figure Insider, Action Figure Times and Action-Figure. These are also excellent places to interact with Mattel’s marketing people and let them know just who you would like to se on the shelves in 2008 (repeat after me "JSA! JSA! JSA!")

• It’s hard to believe that Vampirella has been around for nearly 40 years, but then again we are talking one of the undead. If you’d like to catch up and see what’s going on in the series these days, you can see that full issue of Vengeance of Vampirella free here.

• NBM/Papercutz revival of Classics Illustrated is also previewed online. Set to premiere in a soft and hardcover version in November, you can see some of French artist Michael Plessix’s work on Wind In The Willows here.

Catch us The Big ComicMix Broadcast Tuesday with our rundown of the newest comics and DVDs and later in the week we talk to a creator who has one of the biggest "buzz" books out there. It involves girls, comic stores and panties!

Mike Raub is the producer of The Big ComicMix Broadcast.

Can’t stay long, gotta get back to ComicMix‘er Kai Connolly’s birthday party.  ComicMix columnists wrote stuff this past week.  Here it is:

And that’s not even including tons of news wrapups from Andrew Wheeler, loads of reviews, even a pool-playing post!  By the way, today’s bash emanates from the home of Mellifluous Mike Raub, who has arranged it all and still had time for his Big ComicMix Broadcasts:

The me who wrote this entry this morning hopes the Raub Residence will be as air-conditioned as the Riggs Residence…

Once again we’re away from Second City comic book happenings here in the First City, but at least we can all share Chicago nickname puns as well as the Perseid meteor showers this evening from pretty much wherever we live.  That, and the ComicMix columns from this past week:

As you might expect, Mellifluous Mike Raub is in attendance at WizWorld Chicago, meaning more Big ComicMix Broadcasts than usual:

The interesting thing about many vacations is how much you want to do at the beginning and how little you’ve done at the end.  Mine has gone according to plan in terms of reading (see my column linked above) but not writing.  Ah well, maybe next time…

Yesterday was a very special day for lots of folks.  In the baseball world a couple of home run records were set, in the political world attendees at the progressive blogosphere’s Nerd Prom (yes, they have one too) schmoozed with the Democratic presidential candidates, and we at ComicMix celebrated head honcho Mike Gold’s 57th go-round in life.  All the incriminating photos my camera could muster can be found here.  And here’s our review of what we columnist types have been up to this past week:

I finally got to meet all of Mellifluous Mike Raub‘s many M-named sons, and the one with the "S" name.  He’s been busy as usual with the newest Big ComicMix Broadcasts:

I’m on vacation from my day job this coming week, so who knows, you might even see my byline again on something other than my column and this wrap-up…
