I’ll start this by saying I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I really don’t understand the format of this podcast. Why do you go over the comics page by page? Its really tedious to listen to. I’ve read the comic I know what happened. Just tell me your opinions on it. I don’t need a review of everything thing that happened. I want to listen to this podcast. I really do, but I couldn’t get past the first twenty minutes.
And one of the hosts doesn’t really speak at all, and when he does he doesn’t seem to really care about what’s going on. Maybe he’s bored too? If you would edit this down to twenty or thirty minutes this would be a much better podcast.
I’ll start my reply by asking you have you listened to The Pull Bag Before? If you have you’d know the format and formula we use.
Which host are you referring to? Myself or JT? Do you mean edit this podcast ep specifically? or the entire podcast at large. The whole point of TPB is to review comics beat by beat and give our opinions as we go. Sorry you didn’t like this episode. I can’t give my opinions without looking at the material as I record them, because there might be something I would forget to mention. Again sorry you didn’t like this ep, maybe our format for reviewing comics isn’t your style I’d say keep watching for our AFTER DARK or ORIGINS episodes, those might be more to your liking.
I listened to a few episodes to see if it was the normal format and was surprised to see it was. I just don’t’ understand doing it beat by beat as you say. Its gets tedious rather quickly. What is the point of going page by page even mentioning the ads at some point? When you review movies do you do it scene by scene?
The JT host was seemed like the most knowledgeable and energetic in this episode at least. The Steve guy (I think) didn’t say much and when he did it was like he wasn’t paying attention to anything that was being said. In all it didn’t even sound like you guys are talking to one another.
LOL I was-am the other host… hi I’m Mike… steve/megatron wasn’t even on this ep LOL Dunno how people get me and Steve mixed up we sound nothing alike LOL
Sometimes we go scene by scene in MWIRE In Depth, but not always, but that depends…. TPB in Year 2 has gone more towards reviewing in trade, but with Forever Evil I wanted to cover it before waiting for the trade. Honestly I might have sounded absent in this ep, because I just didn’t care too much about Forever Evil. I wish DC had NEVER done it. Hence why JT was there to be the positive one.
As far as mentioning the ads….. I do that as a joke now, because every 2-3 pages in some single issues there are ads that interrupt the story flow. In the trade format of TPB that doesn’t happen.
Let me ask you are you a fan of IDW’s TMNT Title? Check out that first ep with Joe Reed and I… see if that’s more a style you’d like. We are and HAVE generally moved away from single issue coverage, and do it in trade, but sadly this was one that couldn’t be helped.
I encourage you to check out these eps:

and let me know what you liked in them by commenting on their posts… in comparison to this ep. Thanks for the feedback and for listening!
I don’t have an issue doing a review of a single issue. Its going page by page. What’s the point. You might as well just be reading the comic.
