Views From Sector 666: Final Installment
Presenting the final installment of Views From Sector 666. It seemed like a good idea at the time but frankly I just lost all interest in DC as a company soon after recording this audio and Blackest Night was one of the casualties. The thing is I had a ball recording with Thomas Deja and the Irredeemable Shag, so I couldn’t just let this episode remain in the Phantom Zone.
It is a packed two and a half hours of comic book fun this time out as we look at the third month of Blackest Night. We discuss, in order, Blackest Night #3, Green Lantern Corps #40, Blackest Night: Batman #2, Blackest Night: Superman #2, Blackest Night: Titans #2 and Green Lantern #45. The commentary is both fast and furious and everyone has some ranting time.
Oh, and Shag TOTALLY calls the White Lantern thing. I mean he freaking nails it.
Thomas Deja hosts or co-hosts two podcasts. Better In The Dark is the movie cast that he hosts with Derrick Ferguson and DJ’s Comics Cavalcade that he hosts all by his lonesome.
Shag has two excellent blogs. Once Upon a Geek is his week daily blog that covers all things geek. Firestorm Fan may not be daily but Shag updates it frequently and if you are a fan of the Nuclear Man this is the blog for you.
Next week: Episode 101 where either I learn that I love Big Brother and that I always loved Big Brother or I read a bunch of e-mails. It’s a fifty/fifty shot really.

Episode 100 Part 3: “Live” Callers Phase 2
Here it is! At last! The final part of the 100th episode has arrived.! There are a few announcements concerning the show at the beginning but from then on it is live callers for nearly two hours! The talk is varied and sometimes involves comic books even. A lot of great people called in during this portion. They are:
- Brad Douglas: Founder and Grand Poo Pah of the Spider-Man Crawlspace and the Spider-Man Crawlspace Podcast. Brad’s an awesome guy and I was glad to have him on the show.
- Zach and Bertone: Zach is one of the Gang from the Spider-Man Crawlspace Podcast. Bertone hosts or co-hosts a gaggle of podcasts including The Batman Universe, The Bertone Beatle Bonanza, Marvel Star Wars, and three or fifteen others that are escaping me right now. Together they host the Clone Saga Chronicles, a podcast dedicated to the much maligned Ben Reilly/Clone Saga era of Spider-Man.
- Scott C: A former guest of this show, a contributor to NeedCoffee.com and part of the insanity that is the Weekend Justice podcast. Scott is a great guy and one of the biggest supporters of this podcast from the beginning, so I liked having him on the show again.
- Thomas Matis and Donovan Grant: Two members of the Spider-Man Crawlspace Message Boards and co-hosts of the Spectacular Webs podcast that covers the Spectacular Spider-Man animated series. Thomas has been a long time supporter of the show and Donovan is just an awesome guy in general.
- Patrick: Patrick is from the Unique Geek Listserv and a longtime friend of Shag’s. He was also on Jeopardy, which is pretty dang awesome.
- Justin Clark: Justin doesn’t have a podcast or blog but damn it he should. Justin is a very good friend of the show and it was nice to finally talk to him “in person”.
- Kelen B-Hyphen Conley: Writer. Podcast host. Future hip-hop superstar. Kelen does it all. Turns out the Kelen and I have some history in fan fic that I wasn’t even aware of but we go through that in the show itself. Kelen’s major contribution to podcasting is Hip Hop Manifesto, which he hosts with Chiv. There is also B-Hyphen.com, which is currently under construction but has a bunch of links to his other online endeavours. Kelen also has a Live Journal called Spideyville Unlimited, which contains links to the Marvel Anthology and DC Anthology fan fic sites which he hosts and contributes to and whatever thoughts and videos catch Kelen’s eye.
- Isaac Cole: Isaac has a podcast/blog called The Reel Podcast, which I was a guest on about a year ago, so check that out. Isaac has also been a part of the Between the Panels podcast, which is an excellent show that I cannot recommend enough.
And that’s it. Sorry this post went up so late but I do appreciate everyone that was on the monstrosity that was episode 100 and I wanted to thank everyone that listens to the show. I have a lot of fun stuff planned for the show in the coming weeks and months and I hope y’all stick with me as I continue this personal soapbox I call Views From The Longbox.
