As we continue to work on more NYCC coverage, we bring you this little break which is still kind of related! We talk DC’s New 52 first issues on the First Issue Podcast! Everyone felt pretty enthusiastic about it though none of us read all 52 like some more ambitious folks. We run the gamut from delighting in Green Lantern’s portrayal in Justice League to utter confusion about Legion to disagreements about which Batman title was best.
Welcome to the Fate/Zero power half an hour. We get what everyone (me) has been waiting for: SABER IN A SUIT. My goodness there might not be much fighting but there are some wonderful visuals. And for the doujinshi fans this is clearly the episode that launches a thousand ships. Yaoi, Yuri, and various flavors of hentai comics surely will be spawned by this single episode. Plus we finally get the setup for our first real fight that does not involve a one-sided Gate of Babylon massacre.
Last year I heard pretty much nothing but complainants about the app from the New York Comic Con. As I mentioned in the general impressions report the reception in the Javits Centeris awful. So when the app was Internet access dependent last year, meaning most people could only use the app when they were outside, making it next to useless inside the con itself. Also someone like me who has a iPod Touch without constant Wi-Fi could download the app but it would be useless to me a good deal of the time. Thankfully this year they took a good deal of the criticism on the app into account and made something far more usable for everyone.
