Clixcast: Episode 43 Our own ATA'sThis week Steve and Gudda talk about what their picks for ATAs would be. Some fan call outs and Punisher the List. Arrghhh! Great week!

Great cast, guys. I enjoyed your thoughts on other ATAs! I second Gudda's thoughts on the second issue of Clone Saga. With all this stuff going on Mephisto, it makes me wonder... is there a chance that in this new continuity, Ben Reilly is still alive?

It would make me incredibly sad if Spectacular Spider-Man gets cancelled. It has been such a great series.

I didn't hear my name called-out for some reason, so I just wanted to reiterate my title of #1 fan in Kansas!

I'm number 1 fan in TOKYO, JAPAN!...but I am from Vermont! but it would be cooler, to say Japan!
mrush

The original X-Factor was not affiliated with the government. They were a private concern posing as mutant-hunters until they publicly revealed themselves as mutants about midway through the first iteration of the title.

can i be your number one fan in oregon

Hey guys, here is the story with Punisher continuity. The recent regular Punisher issue finishes the story arc of Punisher fighting The Hood. Then, Punisher: The List takes place after this has happened (as you see him resting up and recovering from the results of that battle with The Hood). So in my mind, at least now, Punisher: The List is still in reasonable continuity. Now, however, what happens in the next Punisher remains to be seen.

Great cast, great info again. Where is your link to all previous casts?

\Edit: The dreams and desires has a ata thread going right now also.
Make mine marvel knights that are Batman Ally capable.
Edit Again: Punisher was able to kill the HAMMER guys in the sewer because they were bad guys in Hammer disguise

Steve...I'm just as floored by what they've done with the Punisher on the The List:Punisher title. So I'm just done with the Punisher titles.

I haven't bought a Spiderman titles since the Mephisto "First Day" #### rolled out. I'm certainly not going to buy another Punisher title...oh well.

Gudda, continuity is a sore subject for the majority of comic book readers. I won't argue why I prefer "continuity" over "content" as the reason people buy comic books, but I will say this much....more comic book fans will stop buying a title because the current writer didn't "respect" the material before hand and didn't follow continuity like Steve tried to point out to you in the Punisher:The List.

The reasons why people like comics is extremely varied, but I think in general "bad story writing" like this last Punisher title will lose more readers than bring more in the long run. Lost readers=lost dollars.

ATA to remake is Legion of Superheroes.

Biggest fan in South Dakota.

Keep up the good work!

Really liked your ATAs.

Funny thing. I was reading from a text file...I didn't have it scrolled all the way to the top of the document. So I missed 3 of ya but we will hook you up again on the next podcast.

...I will also be sad if Spectacular gets cancelled.

Wow. thanks for the comic link hookups.

We have some of the greatest fans! If we got paid and we could pay some of ya we would. But hey some of you guys helping out with info and stuff, PM us with figs you might need. I know if I have extras and you need them I will try to hook you up.

Thanks!

YES I CAN'T BELIEVE I TIED FOR 1st place hahahahahah awesome thanks guys!

Great show guys! I'm almost exlusively a Marvel guy myself, so homework is going to be kind of tough. As long as I'm going to have to look up the Doom Patrol, I might try and track down something for the Metal Men as well.



P.S. Steve, just to show the Punisher love, here's what I wore to work last Friday...
