Wrestling And Killing… Batman?
Like the medium or not, you do have to admit that there are a lot of similarities between pro wrestling and comics. In years past, there hasn’t been a successful bridge between the two, but creator Mike Kingston is taking a totally new approach with his Headlocked series. ComicMix Radio talks to Mike about his project and his love of both wrestling and comics, plus:
• Fox waves the white flag & shelves 24
• A new X-Men story line heats up with a sold out comic
• ABC is going with Lost … no matter what
• Oh yeah, and they are killing Batman again?
Press The Button, or you get a chair to the head, ya jabroni!

Being a successful indy comics publisher is tough today, but getting there is even tougher. Today The Big ComicMix Broadcast shares the story of Luke Smarto, creator of Fan Girl, who has created and published more titles than some of the "big" guys and is still reaching for that golden ring. Plus we tip you on a run of very limited Return To Wonderland variants from the UK, a source to download new versions of Candyland and Monopoly and news on more reworking of classic Jack Kirby artwork.
There probably hasn’t been a generation since the late 1950s that, in some way, hasn’t been touched by Mad Magazine. Born out of the Comics Code ravaged EC Comics, it went from four color comic to traditional magazine and broke circulation records that have yet to be topped. Today The Big ComicMix Broadcast begins our talk with Al Feldstein, a mainstay of EC’s glory days and the man who helped Mad on the map. Plus, The Hardy Boys get gamey, Image pulls the Kirby book and we take another step closer to Transformers 2.
Ever think that there are at least parts of your life that would make an interesting comic? Artist Kurt Dinse did and from there he added a little drama and created One Year In Indiana, an intriguing indy comic spotlighted today on THE BIG BROADCAST!
There is no better way to end a week than a little trip to the local bar – and in comics the bar "local" to EVERYwhere happens to be Munden‘s!

The Big ComicMix Broadcast sneaks you in the back door for a peek at the bar’s Grand Reopening as we talk with writer/co-creator John Ostrander and ComicMix rabble-rouser and editor-in-chief Mike Gold, plus offers a wake-up call for 24 Hour Comic Day, tells you how Nancy Drew (!) solves the DS (?), what Paul Dini’s up to, where Death Note is going, and how Daredevil sells out!
