PTG Episode 118 is brought to you by A Comic Shop, though they may not realize it. We have now confirmed (by looking at a calendar) that this upcoming Wednesday, May 24th, A Comic Shop will be hosting Tony Bedard, the new writer on Green Lantern Corps, starting at noon. I’ve never known a signing at that store to NOT be fun, so do stop in with lots of copies of R.E.B.E.L.S. for Tony to sign if you’re in the area and have a chance to do so, and tell them you heard about it on PTG. They’ll probably give you a weird look and ask, “Why do you listen to that crappy show when you could be listening to OUR show?”, at which point you should respond, “Because I dig permanent guy-liner.”
During this episode we revisit our written review of Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood” to expand further on why it works as period drama, rather than swashbuckling adventure, then dive into all the week’s news covering the Network TV Upfronts that took place in New York last week. The number of new sci-fi/superhero-type shows is down this year–CBS doesn’t have one, while ABC, NBC, FOX, and CW each have one–but it’s an interesting mix that we’ll be keeping close tabs on come September. Which ones we’ll actively follow as part of our Flash TV Reviews segment we’re not sure yet, but we’ve got to find something to replace 24 (ends tonight!), Heroes, and FlashForward (ends 5/27). This hour wraps with a focus on three new DC Comics books from last week: Legion of Superheroes #1 (promising!), Brightest Day #2 (misleading cover, but intrigue definitely building), and War of the Supermen #3 (great penultimate chapter!). Enjoy!
