The guys review the World War Hulks minis, a listener chimes in, Ryan rants, and they list their Top Five Hulk fights after a listener emails them with a list of his own. Boy, do they know how to pack a show full of fun or what?

Test messages come in all forms and sizes, most are boring pieces of trifle that can be overlooked and missed. This one will try to not be one of those. Instead, this is a test that will have a little bit of substance.

For months (years?) I have bemoaned the fact that while Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Green Lantern, The X-Men, Flash, The Legion of Super-Heroes, Starman, Hellboy, Deadpool, Doktor Sleepless, Richard Fell and Iron Fist have all had their own podcasts, Wonder Woman has not. What is is about Wonder Woman that says “Hey, don’t do a regular podcast about me, I’m not worthy?” I’m not sure, but it needs to stop. There needs to be a Wonder Woman podcast. If I had the time and the knowledge about the character, I definitely would do one. Since I don’t, all I can do is promise a spot in the Readerfeed, if someone ever decides to take this project on.

The one line sell for The ReaderFeed is: It’s like Marvel Premiere or Showcase Comics, but for comic book podcasts.

Back in the good old days of comics, DC and Marvel had try-out titles. These were comic books that focused on characters who weren’t established commodities. No one really knew if a character featured in those titles would break out and become popular enough to warrant their own series. As with any try-out system, there were success stories and noble efforts. Some of the success stories from Marvel Premiere include characters like Adam Warlock, Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, and Black Panther; Showcase Comics featured such characters as The Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Lois Lane, Metal Men and The Spectre. Of course, there were also noble efforts like Marvel Premiere’s Liberty Legion, Woodgod, Monark Starstalker and Seeker 3000; while Showcase brought us Kings Of The Wild, Windy and Willy, Firehair, Jason’s Quest and Manhunter 2070.

The ReaderFeed will be attempt to create a podcast feed based on characters that might not have a large enough fanbase to warrant their own podcast feed, by people who might not want to devote time to a regularly scheduled podcast. That’s why the official symbol of The ReaderFeed is an unknown person with a question mark. Not knowing what’s coming next is part of the fun. Who knows? This may be the birthplace of next great comic book podcast or the podcast equivalent of The Maniaks.
