This week's update!
Added 2019-02-19 06:16:03 +0000 UTCHello everybody! Sorry for the lateness of the update, but we were actually busy filming today! Normally we shoot on Thursdays (and we'll be doing that as well), but due to the holiday we had an extra day, so Tiff and Ethan and I got together and filmed Back Issues and GBU. Hoping to have another Bat-Issues ready to film on Thursday, along with a more current Back Issues book.
So this week, you've seen our Good, Bad and Ugly Ms Marvel special, which I think was a lot of fun. It might be our only tie-in with Carol's movie, but we'll see. Off the Rack also needed a bump because of our shooting schedule, so that was delayed this week. I'm hoping we can try to have that on Wednesday instead of Elseworlds.
Letters Page returned this weekend, so I hope you catch that! We've got another episode in the hopper ready to get cut and released on Saturday. And of course Back Issues this week, which is being exported as I'm writing this. It's on Spider-Man/Black Cat by Kevin Smith so it's insane and funny. At least, we hope the episode is. Should be up for Patrons tonight/tomorrow morning. Sorry for that delay, but as you can tell we breezed through our buffer so I'm going to need to work triple-duty to get that back. Right now we've got another Spidey-centric episode and an epic X-Men title on the horizon. But if I get everything done in time, and I wind up with more time this weekend, maybe we can mix it up a bit.
You may have noticed we're playing with ads on our Instagram (instagram.com/comicpopofficial). We've been working with TeePublic for a few years now, and I thought it might be fun to actually show off some of these shirts we sell. I'm really enjoying the experience, and it also helps push the Instagram a little more, which is fun. No payment from TeePublic outside the commissions we make from t-shirt sales, btw. So if you're inclined, check 'em out! Link's in the profile.
Of course there's also gonna be some Twitch action going on, not to mention more stuff on the horizon. We just heard a pitch for a show that we could run live that I'm really excited about. And of course we're just trying to improve what we've got.
I actually want to completely revamp the GBU set, which would make everything topsy turvy at the studio. But we have the room, and the ability to make it happen thanks entirely to you guys! So why not try? It's just manual labor, which I'm always thrilled to do when it comes to this channel. Building sets, painting, it's a ton of fun when it's towards this channel. Any suggestions for GBU 2.0, I'm all ears!
As always, thank you so damn much for being here for us. We're so lucky to have the best comics community online! You deserve all the credit.
I gotta go to bed if I'm going to move 1400 comics and shelves and find out what needs to move/change tomorrow! Thank you all, and I'll be in touch.
Always,
Sal
