PTG Episode 134 is brought to you by San Diego Comic-Con. By all accounts, this was THE most epic year yet for the BIG comics convention of the year, thanks once again to all the Hollywood star power the movie and television studios brought to wow the crowds with dreams of things to come. My only consolation for the fact that I’m not there to see for myself the ENTIRE cast of The Avengers film on-stage together (see below), or Smallville’s final Comic-Con panel, or Odin’s Throne or Abin Sur’s corpse (pictured above) from next year’s Thor and Green Lantern movies, respectively, is that the lines for Hall H, where all the major presentations took place this past weekend, were so long that if I’d stood in line for all those presentations, I doubt I would have seen or done ANYTHING else during the convention. It’s just a sign that the convention has grown so very large and well-attended that maybe a move to a larger venue really IS needed. I just hope if the venue does change that it’s NOT Los Angeles. Put it in a city that will REALLY appreciate it and still has the natural beauty that San Diego does. Portland, OR comes to mind …

Cast of the

From left to right: Robert Downey Jr., Clark Gregg, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, director Joss Whedon, producer and Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige.

This episode features special guest co-host James Greene Jr, author of the JGTwo Land blog, the self-proclaimed Gore Vidal of crap, as well as a Comic-Con on-scene report from Jeremy Reinhard from our longtime friends at Grimm Visions, whose comics and fantasy photography we strongly recommend you check out. Later in the week we’ll have another Comic-Con report from PTG listener and working comics writer Chuck Spear, who we tried to contact during this hour and met with insurmountable technological FAIL. It did provide the opportunity for James to leave ol’ Chuck some funny voice mail messages, though, which in my opinion made for good radio, and we hope you feel the same when you listen. Enjoy!
