Summer 2013 Day 7 : Progress Is Underway... Somehow.

Progress Is about to happen. The laptop is on its way and hopefully within days I am grinding out podcasts again full speed ahead. That would be good. Anyway with that said by next week this time I should be grinding out fresh podcast content.

Trading? Not so much progress. Apparently I am in the middle of a trade with an individual... who knows nothing of digital comic gifting. Sure, this is a topic for RKYV Revue since no doubt it will involve New content, but still... wow. I just learned about gifting digital comics myself from Comixology, and really it wasn't that hard to learn let me tell you. Maybe he is just... cheap. Probably that.

So as the first week of Summer 2013 rolls to a close lots of progress is made, a nd even more can be accomplished once the laptop is in so stay tuned for updates... and me sitting down this weekend to write a few mini reviews. Stay tuned.

Summer 2013 Day 3 : Memorial Day

Well it's Memorial Day. Not leaving the house today since there is no shuttles on holidays. There is not many days this happens, but it happens.

The big wait, on the laptop, continues. Probably would feel a whole lot better about it if the guy I am trading with hasn't been missing for a week so far but the last large flat only just arrived... half a week ago... yeah, I will be fixating on this for awhile... go figure.

The sooner that is done the sooner I can get back to doing podcasts full time, sometime that s presently on hold. But while I wait let's see...

Got a lot of DC Comics stuff to review for This Old DC Swag. A bit of content for This Old Comic Addict including more Spider-Man stuff. Reviewing DC, MARVEL, the Ultraverse, Valiant, etc... just need that laptop.

On a seperate note once I solidify my work budget I will add digital back to old school reviews... that is another thing hanging in limbo, my summer or fall work budget, joy. To remedy that I am working on getting a new review job, progress reports to come as I submit to different possible employers.

I can't think of much right now, Memorial Day and all, but first priority here (which I need to do this week) is lay out my plans for all the retro casts, and what I will be reviewing for each. That is something I will be doing with this week's updates. Stay tuned.

Summer 2013 Day -1 : Start of Summer

Well the summer for me starts after tomorrow, so rotating throughout my blogs will be a daily post related to work going on during the summer as related to each blog in question.

For Comic Addict, and several other blogs, it is watching the box for the last big trade before summer, and the laptop I plan to use to kick start the podcasts back into full production. It is the last trade... and no updates yet. I finished my end but still no updates. Oh well. Hopefully that changes soon. Stay tuned for updates.

Otherwise I am waiting on getting This Old Comic Addict and This Old DC Swag going once again soon. Got LOTS to review, just need to get to reviewing it.

Oh, mini reviews coming soon here, stay tuned.

First Impression : Superman Sunday Classics 1939-1943

It is the 75th Anniversary of Superman so, logically, everyone EXCEPT DC Comics is celebrating it. DC Comics is... trying to make Superman young again...again. But forgetting forgetting DC Comics insecurities with age age we got ourselves a blast from the Golden Age with Superman Sunday Classics 1939-1943 (collecting the color sunday strips which had their own stories seperate from the dailies which are collected in their own book).

Ah. Golden Age Superman, a title that reminds you of a far simpler time when the Man of Steel randomly spawned new powers powers and abilities at random for plot convenience, threatens people and property for effect and randomly killed bad guys without warning. Throwing them into the sky Team Rocket style, letting enemy fire blow them up and what not. Clearly the whole Superman as the world`s biggest boy scout does not originate from the Golden Age.

Presently reviewing it, will have it out soon, but right now I think you will enjoy this if you are a fan of the Golden Age. Stay tuned.

Getting back on track

I have lots to get back on track with, and not just here, I also have a lot of content to work on for the other blogs too... but one step at a time.

Working on acquiring a used laptop for working on the podcasts.

Looking for another reviewing job online while I wait for word from Mr. Pare.

Trying to figure out why I haven't received a issue of my subscription to Supergirl yet.

And of course daily content needs to be worked on. Lots to do so I am off to work on it all. Stay tuned for updates.
