The title says it all! We talk about the comics we bought from the week of May 9th, 2007 (this episode loaded with lots of goofy sound effects!)

SPACE Con, Pittsburgh Con, The Toonies, Henbane, the comic book, Free Comic Book Day, N3RDcast, Spiderman 3.

I'm back! Stephen and I discuss the comics we bought last week that shipped on May 2nd, 2007.

Stephen is joined by Aaron Macom of SciFiDig (scifidig.com) in a coup attempt of KomicsKast, bottom of the pile segment! Luckily, neither of them have my password for the Libsyn site! Phew! Coup averted! Anyway, Stephen and Aaron get together to discuss the bottom of their piles while I'm away at the S.P.A.C.E. small press con. What I've heard so far is funny, as I'm sure the whole thing will be!

Stephen and I talked and we decided to try to put out the Bottom of the Pile segment on a more timely basis. As it is, you're hearing our picks of the week at least 1-1/2 weeks after we get them, and that just doesn't seem right... So what we decided to do was to upload it seperately. This is a test, this is only a test! We really need your feedback on this one folks, so please, leave a comment here on the blog, OR stop on over to the forum (the link for which is located on the right had sidebar here). Thanks in advance for your feedback. Now, more than ever, it's important to us! (Although it's always important to us!)
