Thank You George Perez Part 3: All Things CRISIS! (Episode 1.04)

We’re back! Hosted by Doug Lange, Mark Moore joins us once again to talk about Crisis On Infinite Earths. We dig into the idea of grief as a part of healing and being true to oneself in the face of overwhelming change. (This episode was recorded BEFORE George Perez passed away on May 6th.) Thank you for Listening! Here is where you can find a copy of Crisis On Infinite Earths in Print and Comixology/Kindle [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1563897504?notRedirectToSDP=1&ref_=dbs_m_cmx_rwt_calw_tpbk_tkin&storeType=ebooks&qid=1652969783&sr=8-2].

Thank You George Perez Interlude: May 6th, The Greater Feast of George Perez (Episode 1.03)

... Meanwhile, life has other plans. This episode is a short oasis in our love letter to the George Perez canon. I want to take a moment and reflect on the day of his passing before continuing our series. Go find some of his comics to read and remember him by. Thank you for listening. ~Doug This is where you can find interviews and a memoriam [https://www.tcj.com/topic/george-perez/] that The Comics Journal prepared on George Perez.

Thank You George Perez Part 2: The Miracle of JLA/Avengers (Episode 1.02)

Hosted by Doug Lange, Mark Moore is back again as we talk about the release and fallout of the JLA/Avengers edition released by the Hero Initiative in March of 2022. This episode is as much a love letter to comic shops as it is a criticism of the spectators in the traditional Direct Marketplace. But, in the end, the story of how JLA/Avengers made it to print, much less in the new edition, is a lesson in shrewd humility and savvy professionalism. Thank you for listening! This is where you can find a copy of George Perez: Storyteller [https://www.amazon.com/George-Perez-Storyteller-Chris-Lawrence/dp/1933305150/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DURS45VM5P5Z&keywords=george+perez+storyteller&qid=1652970682&sprefix=george+perez+story+teller%2Caps%2C71&sr=8-1] that Mark uses as a reference in this episode. Additionally, well after this episode was published, The Comics Beat [https://www.comicsbeat.com/jla-avengers-1983-oral-history-part-1/] released an oral history of how the JLA/Avengers story was originally doomed to fail. This should really illustrate the lengths Perez went to see this project through with Kurt Busiek.

Thank You George Perez Part 1: The Importance of the New Teen Titans (Episode 1.01)

Hosted by Doug Lange, Mark Moore points out the highlights in George Perez & Marv Wolfman’s creation, The New Teen Titans. Perez & Wolfman created comix about trauma and compassion in the face of unforgiving life events. Almost in anticipation of the fascination that audiences will have for superheroes with clay feet today, Perez & Wolfman made comix that relate stories of practical characters doing wonderful things in the midst of macabre social commentary. The George Perez & Marv Wolfman run on The New Teen Titans is collected in trade paperback as “The New Teen Titans” Volumes 1 - 10 and 'officially' unofficially concludes in their own unique Titans Timeline in “The New Teen Titans: Games” -- which took 23 years to finish (or make, depending on how you look at it).  Thank You for listening! This is where you can all of the current volumes of The New Teen Titans [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JX5V8JJ?searchxofy=true&binding=kindle_edition&ref_=dbs_s_aps_series_rwt_tkin&qid=1652971532&sr=8-1] on Comixology/Kindle with links to respective volumes in print.
