Kray Z Comics and Stories 103: Starblasters and Dog Crap

We start by talking about Joe’s job and quickly get into buying back issues of comic books by the pound! And you people say we take too long to talk about comics!

After the ads and plugs, they discuss their plans for Free Comic Book Day, Hangin’ at the Home story wherein Cory convinces people his urine is blue and how Joe freaked out a comic book artist and convinced him he had a rare disease. They also go over a couple of obscure comics, dig into Joe’s resorted collection, Cory has the angriest rant during freaking and the proverbial much, much more!

All of this, plus the usual shenanigans. What are you waiting for? It’s free! Download it!

Kray Z Comics and Stories 99: Waxy Yellow Buildup

As we keep up the build to episode 100, Cory tells a Hangin’ at the Home story. Somehow, and I couldn’t quite figure out how, this leads to a discussion of profanity on college radio, waffle houses, old candy, and road trips. What does this have to do with comics? NOTHING!! So, Joe tells the story of trying to find a comic shop where he’s stationed, and the bookstores he has found.

Along the way we finish the first installment of Joe’s great comic re-sort of 2013, we get into Freaking and Geeking, Cory goes off on comics sales numbers and there is the proverbial much much more. Also: The usual shenanigans!
