Episode 101 - A Perfect Movie
It's a post-100 world, folks. We're older and wiser now. It just doesn't show.
We start our episode with a recap of the Cincinnati Botcon and a little talk about the 25th Anniversary Transformers line they previewed at the show. Then we run through some wonderful e-mails and we talk about a few comics from the last two weeks, including Free Comic Book Day X-Men, Blue Beetle 26, Mighty Avengers 12 & New Avengers 40, DC Universe 0 and Green Lantern 30. Then we wrap up the episode with a discussion of the best comic book movie ever filmed, IRON MAN.
ACTUALLY, Omar, when promoting the film they gave out black t-shirts with the chest piece emblem on it.
To solve your mystery about Hispanic mutants, there are two I can name off the top of my head: La Bandera, a female mutant who first appeared in Wolverine and had the ability to shoot energy blasts out of a staff she carried. The dumb thing about her was that she could not create the blasts unless she had the support of the people around her. And there's El Aguila, who looked a little like Zorro and even carried a sword which he used to direct the electrical charge he could build up in his body.
Are they still active? Because the only ones that I could think of during the podcast that still had their powers was Sunspot. Since M Day it seems most of the hispanic mutants are gone...not that there were that many to begin with. La Bandera was horrible. At least Aguila had a cool costume.
Long live Vibe! Oh, wait...
Geez, guys, I'm still not caught up on Ep 100b! (And I didnt buy comics this week, yet, and I missed Free Comic Book Day.
Someone's going to revoke my geek card.
Damn. I have to wait until I get home to listen.
I can't wait to hear about Botcon since I was peripherally involved.
Trying to finish the last few minutes of 100b at work. I should download these and listen at the gym.

Sunspot is Brazillian, not hispanic.
So the funny thing about Sunspot was that depending who was writing the character he would speak Portuguese or Spanish. Soooooo...I still choose Sunspot as Latino in a race draft.
