I talk about the things I bought on May 14, 2008 and mention some upcoming changes.
Mike and Heath didn’t record on Mother’s Day, so no Brunch this week. And since Sunday May 18 is I Am An American Day*, we’ll have to see if they will be able to record.
*Yeah, I know the holiday was moved from I Am An American Day in May to Citizenship Day in September, but they don’t know that.
There’s a little bit of everything this week. Our host gushes about the Iron Man movie, Jeff Parker, Annihilation and it’s Conquest. Marcos Martin and David Lapham also get talked up. Backwards Dave brings us another Bring ‘em Back, Mike Sims casts another film in his Mighty Marvel Movie Minute, and Carlos calls not once, but twice! For those of you not up-to-date on Secret
Invasion (as of the mini’s second issue) may want to skip ahead a minute or two. Marvel Tales goes recounts a dark day in X-Men history (where I’m concerned) and finally, Adam Besenyodi (earth616) offers a wonderful review of Powers.
Comics mentioned in this episode include Guardians of the Galaxy, newuniversal: Shockfront, Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Wolverine: The Amazing Immortal Man and Other Bloody Tales, and X-Men: Legacy.

Hello everyone, it is with great regret that I inform all of you that Bruce Rosenberger has decided to step down as host of Indie Comic Book Noise. Next week’s show will be his last, so that he can say goodbye to his audience. The hosting duties will be taken over by myself and a co-host to be named later.
I appreciate everything that Bruce has done for the show in spearheading its creation and building an audience for it. Thank you Bruce.
Derek

‘Vinyl Underground’ on the chopping block?
One of the few Vertigo titles that I read is The Vinyl Underground by Si Spencer, Simon Gane and Ryan Kelly. It is the continuing story about a group of London based occult investigators. Normally in stories like this, the location setting is pretty meaningless because the cities or towns are all just backdrops for whatever boogieman is hiding in the shadows. The Vinyl Underground is pretty unique because I don’t think that the stories that are being told could be told in any other city. London is as much of a character as the four main human characters.
None of that means anything because I get the feeling that the title will be getting canceled soon. Well more than a feel actually, over at The Beat, they had the month by month breakdowns and it appears as though my favorite Vertigo title sold a little over 6,000 copies for issue #5. Not good at all.
There is a serious lack of buzz about this book since it came out. Initially there was the whole ‘Writer of Torchwood‘ thing, but since it wasn’t really true, that seemed to die off pretty quickly. I don’t know anyone else who is reading it and when I expressed my worries about an impending cancellation, my LCS guy just said “Oh yeah.”
I think it’s a shame because I really like the title, the characters, the stories that are being told and the artwork. Oh well, I just hope that we get answers to some of the running mysteries of the series before the end.
