Updated! Updated! Updated!



Haven’t done an update in sometime, and a lot has happened.
So here we go…
We had NPN’s first anniversary show at the end of August and Luke, Cross, Chae, Lita, Marc, and Scott found their way to the headquarters/production facilities of Nine Panel Nerds, my condo, and we recorded two shows that have already been posted.
Here the description on both episodes 45 and 46….

The Anniversary is here!
We've been doing NPN for a full year now and in celebration of that year we reminisce about our favorite show's
We recorded this episode at Dave house and as you'll hear the whole cast had a great time.
Join us next week for the second part of the anniversary special as we regale you with our second store stories episode!


and....


The second part of our first year anniversary finds the panel loaded with store stories.
We had a great time with the first store stories we'd thought we would bring it back for a second time round.
What's happened at Buried Under Comic since the last time we regaled you with our adventures in comic book retail?
You'll just have to listen.
Oh yes most of us were a little inebriated when we recorded this.


Since we’ve posted those, in between them, we also posted Luke’s special episode with writer Dwight Macpherson. Description time…


In this special episode, Luke sits down with comic book writer Dwight MacPherson, the writer of a number of small press titles including "Archibald Saves Christmas," "The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poe," and "M-Theory." They talk about writing, the comics business, Hollywood, mullets, and anything else that might occur to them at the time.


Plus we’ve posted another episode. Man I said I was behind updating this blog!
Here’s the lowdown on episode 47.…


Why are comic books so serious today?
All kinds of dark, edgy, comics populate your LCS shelves and, for some, the fun has seemingly gone out of them.
So the panel sat down and discusses the subject and tries to nail why comics have become what they are now,
but first are monthly picks from the new Preview book for September.


….and there is much more coming. We already have a show on digital comics, Luke has another interview, with who, for know, I’m leaving as a surprise. Also Brian, Scott and I did a show about their trip to the Diamond retailers expo in Vegas. Speaking of conventions, there is a chance that we might be at ComicCon in NYC next Febuary. Don’t know if it will happen, either way I believe we’ll be there in one form or another.

Still it’s been over a full year of NPN, and I’m at a point where I’m more than happy how the show has turned out. Mostly it’s come from the people I do it with. I remember when I brought this up as a potential idea to promote Buried Under Comics and thought they‘d think I was nuts. But that’s not how it turned out, still when we recorded the first time I was nervous as hell thinking that the guys, again, thought I was crazy. Truth be told they we’re worried about screwing it up for me!
I’m lucky to have a great crew along for the ride. Weather it has helped bring any business though the door all I hope is that Brian, the owner of BUC, is happy with it, as I hope all the listeners are.
I hope you have fun listening to it as much as we do making it.
Later!
