Hey Hype Trainspotters, this is that douchebag kevin here again to drop some more knowledge on y’all about upcoming shit in the Boston area (which is where I am, therefore penultimate.) So if you dont live up in this area, Im sorry I wasted you precious time and will atone in the regular manner (whipping cream.) However if you do live up here in this soggy nectar laced city built on a damn swamp, theres some cool stuff coming up and I figured we could be solid dudes here at Hype Train and drop you the knowlegde (or some such terminology.)
First of all
July 31 through August 2
Boston Comic Con
Boston, MA
www.bostoncomiccon.com
so yeah that will be cool, Stan Lee will be there taking credit for things that Jack Kirby created, Brett Dalton (whoever that is) from Agents of Shield, and um yo guys. ROSE TYLER. ROSE TYLER (from my favorite season of Dr. Who) aka former British Pop star Billie Piper, and lots of other people who I assume have nothing to do with comics. But theres also comics people there like Brian Azzarello, J. Bone, Tim Bradstreet, Frank Cho, Evan Dorkin, Tim Sale (!!!) Kurtis Weibe, and many more (I assume.) I also hear that Nick Masone may be selling his ticket for many dollars (but its VIP so you know, $$$.)
anyway thats cool
BUT ALSO: following that we have two more cons in the area which are okay (but not as starry eyed making as in the Bean: which is what I will now call Boston.)
September 12 and 13
GraniteCon
Manchester, NH
www.granitecon.com
BILLY DEE WILLIAMS. Thats really all I have to say. Lando will be there. Also two bitplayers from Aliens and a “famous” cosplayer. BUT! This is still a really good con. Im always amazed when people rate conventions on guests; if everything is overpriced and over crowded because stan lee is there. Granite Con is a great one though small.
November 6 through 8
Rhode Island Comic Con
Providence, RI
www.ricomiccon.com
If you really like Sons of Anarchy, then RICC is for you. They have like five people, none of whom I know. Also there is that old guy from walking dead. and Margot Kidder. and mother fucking Dean Cain. and I guess the SOup Nazi too. Anyway it looks like a great con with a bit more guests than Granite Con, and I will probably be checking it out.
thats it. no more news. oh I guess, read ms marvel. thats really good.
see you on the internette

Welcome. This is Kevin. I am here to give you the 100% real, no fakies, comprehensive episode guide notes as to read while you listen. If you don’t agree to this arrangement, there will be no consequences other than certain eternal damnation. Well, enough of that unceremonious word foreplay; on to the episode guide. (note: all the stuff in quotes is from wikipedia.)
1: Mert Zerskin is a wholly owned trademark of the Pongo Corporation.
2: Mert and Duffy have worked countless, tireless hours in search of the truth and the detection of clues. They are fully patriotic symbols; and also life long heterosexual life mates.
3: Lady Dame is a multi-thousandaire.
4: Jay-Z has personally never listened to our podcast.
5: Nick is not more of a bourbon man. This is just a character he plays on the podcast, do not be afraid.
6: Anthony’s car has no tires.
7: Secret Origins: Anthony was indeed bitten by a radioactive podcast, and its a really funny story but Im not gonna tell it now.
8: Who’d win in a fight, Booster Gold vs Wolverine?
9: If you listened from episode one, you are an awesome person; or maybe a sucker, I’m no judge.
10: In the 1990’s many men were in fact triangle shaped. nowadays, not enough characters walk around with their guns anymore. “The Age of Terrible Aim.”
11: Casettes are boss. You can get them cheap too.
12: “The Putty Patrol is the standard army unit deployed by Rita during the first season of MMPR. Though neither particularly strong, intelligent, nor resilient, their basic power of numbers allow them to be a regular challenge to the Power Rangers.” This variety of Putty has a day job as well.
13: “Putties are created in a monster making machine. Though apparently made from the same basic clay or putty-like compound as the specialized creations, they differ from normal monsters in that they are mass-produced through use of steam-pressured molds and then sent through the monster machine in large numbers. After being fully cooked, they’re ejected one at a time from the exit tube at the far end of the machine. Though generally identical, Putties often display some level of individual personality, and are occasionally given number designations to identify them within a given group.”
14: We do not smoke real weed; its movie weed.
15: “The Invisibles is a series that was published by Vertigo from 1994 to 2000. It was created and scripted by Grant Morrison, and drawn by various artists throughout its publication.
The plot follows (more or less) a single cell of The Invisible College, a secret organization battling against physical and psychic oppression using time travel, magic, meditation, and physical violence.”
16: Avengers – John Hickman run
17: “Watchmen is an American comic book limited series published by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987, and collected in 1987. The series was created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. Watchmen originated from a story proposal Moore submitted to DC featuring superherocharacters that the company had acquired from Charlton Comics. As Moore’s proposed story would have left many of the characters unusable for future stories, managing editor Dick Giordano convinced Moore to create original characters instead.”
18: Liking Watchmen is pretentious.
19: Batman is….fucking batman….
20: “Batman was a thirty-minute prime time, live-action television series broadcast by the ABC Network between 1966 and 1968. Premiering on January 12, 1966, as a mid-season replacement, the series featured actor Adam West as the perennial character of Batman, while Burt Ward donned nylon stockings and fairy boots for his portrayal of the erstwhile sidekick, Robin.”
21: “Batman: The Animated Series is an American animated television series based on the DC Comicssuperhero Batman. It was developed by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, it originally aired on the Fox Network from September 5, 1992 to September 15, 1995, with a total of 85 episodes.[2][3] During its second season, the series was given the on-screen title The Adventures of Batman & Robin.”
22: Action Figures rule.
23: I can personally attest to Reed Hoover’s strangeness.
24: The Sacred Church of the Bloody Goat.
25: The Onion truly is America’s Finest News Source.
26: “Wolverine: The Best There Is was a monthly comic book seriess published by Marvel Comicsfrom 2010 to 2012, and starring the superhero Wolverine. The series was written by Charlie Huston, and premiered with a first issue cover dated February 2010. It ended with issue #12, cover dated February 2012.” The Artist was Juan Jose Ryp.
27: Calvin and Hobbes was created by Bill Waterson and is awesome. It was syndicated from November 18, 1985 to December 31, 1995.
28: I was mixing two (or three) story arcs together here. The one I was thinking of was the arc with Calvin accidentally pushing his parent’s car into a ditch.
29: http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/12/31 the final calvin and hobbes strip.
30: Break One!
31: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a 2014 American 3D science fiction action comedy film based on the franchise of the same name. A reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film series, the film is directed by Jonathan Liebesman, and stars Megan Fox, Will Arnett, William Fichtner, Pete Ploszek,Johnny Knoxville, Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard, Danny Woodburn, Tony Shalhoub, and Whoopi Goldberg.” yup.
32: Nick Masone is a fully credited and 100% certified ranter.
33: “The film was released on August 8, 2014,[5][6] and received generally negative reviews.[7] It was a box office success, however, grossing over $485 million worldwide, and becoming Nickelodeon Movies‘ highest grossing film.[8] It was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awards at the 35th edition, including Worst Picture and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel, with Fox winning for Worst Supporting Actress.”
34: Will Arnet was in this movie?

37: Kevins phone goes off.
38: “By the 16th century, the earliest time for which there is a historical record, major Native American groups included the Apalachee (of the Florida Panhandle), the Timucua (of northern and central Florida), the Ais (of the central Atlantic coast), the Tocobaga (of the Tampa Bay area), the Calusa(of southwest Florida) and the Tequesta (of the southeastern coast).”
39: “Tallahassee /ˌtæləˈhæsi/ is the capital of the U.S. state of Florida. It is the county seat and only incorporated municipality in Leon County, and is the 126th largest city in the United States. Tallahassee became the capital of Florida, then the Florida Territory, in 1824.”
40: Population growth rates are interesting.
41: “The name “Tallahassee” is a Muskogean Indian word often translated as “old fields” or “old town.”

44: “Jacksonville is the largest city by population in the U.S. state of Florida, and the largest city by area in the contiguous United States.[7] It is the county seat of Duval County,[8] with which the city government consolidated in 1968.”
