Tim and Sax look at some of the hold comic themed records from the days when The Riddler could release an album and ever kid in American would buy it. Also they mostly suck. Plus some ranting about whatever pissed us off and some fantastic “News of the Doomed” including a cheese fire that shuts down a tunnel… you’ll have to listen for an explanation.

Tim and Sax sit down the “The Birds of ‘Play” cosplay duo, ABC’s The Quest contestant Bonnie Gordon, and YouTube legend Katers17 at the 2014 Comikaze Expo to talk about taking your fandom into the public eye, and maybe making some money at it. Learn the stories of these four amazing geeks, and hear their thoughts on some of the more pressing geek issues such as cosplay and conventions. Its Fandom Planet.  (audio is down after these exciting images of the guests)

Ian Brill, formerly of BOOM! Comics, stops by to discuss his new self-published labor of love, “Dracula World Order.”  The independent comic features Ian’s story of Dracula creating a Vampire-Tocracy (our words, not his; he’s a better writer) and the struggle of the common people to survive in an oppressive time.  The book also features the additional talents of Tonci Zonjic, Rahsan Ekedal, Declan Shalvey and Gabriel Hardman, so you KNOW it’s good.  Ask for it by name at your local brick & mortar comic shop or order your copy today at http://www.tfaw.com/Profile/Dracula-World-Order-1___409125

Also, our friend Craig Yoe visits with Tim & Sax via SKYPE to talk about his new book “Frazetta Funnies” featuring the work of master artist Frank Frazetta, but not as you may expect.  In stead of barbarians and Molly Hatchet album covers, the book contains funny animal stories which, while light and fun, show Frazetta’s amazing skill at creating a page layout unparallelled.  Also, the boys discuss Yoe’s monthly POPEYE book from IDW (for which he is co-editor), a collection of underground S&M comics created by Superman’s Joe Shuster, zombies, Krazy Kat and what it’s like to have the coolest job in the comics industry.

Tim and Sax rush into action to try and guess who DC comics is going to out as gay in the next few weeks. Speculations include sgt rock, wildcat, and jerry Lewis, along with the most famous members of the DC Elite. Come with us on a journey of sexual-forensics, laughter, and a lengthy discussion of who counts as “iconic”.

Sax and Tim’s note: Just after we recorded this it was reported that the group “One Million Moms” came out against DC having this or any gay characters and suggested they would boycott the books.  In response the folks at Fandom Planet would like to suggest we all buy whatever issue announces the Gay character in record numbers.

Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of, and we support DC in bringing more homosexual characters into everyday comics. From Renee Montoya to Kate Kane to whomever this turns out to be (Plastic Man?) we support them.

Oh and at the end of this episode we talk for a bit about Batgirl: Spoiled (Sax’s new webseires) check it out here: http://bit.ly/BatgirlTeaser

Next week Fandom Planet is heading to the LBCC 1 day Expo. So in celebration of one of our favorite events:

Tim and Sax present some of their favorite interviews from the last Long Beach Comic Con. The boys were webcast live to an audience of almost 30,000 worldwide as they met with creators, cosplayers, writers, producers and fans. They made new friends and hung out with old friends. Here are some of the interviews from that show, including:

Iron Man pro Bob Layton promoting a new movie project
The creators behind “Ninja Mom”
George Chase, the brilliant mind behind the indy comix hit “Comic Book Junkies”
and
AVN award winner and X-Rated goddess Nikki Hunter

And much, much more.
