Previews Spotlight #082 (Aug->Oct) Deadline: Sat AM, Aug 9

Post by JohnMayo »

Previews will be coming out on Wednesday, July 30th. The deadline for sending in submissions to the Previews Spotlight is the crack of dawn on Saturday, August 9th.

Please post which comics you will be sending in submissions for here on this thread with the full title and issue number. That way we can reduce the number of duplicate submissions and maximize the number of different items that are covered. If someone has already posted that they will be covering something you are passionate about discussing, we are okay with more than one submission for the item but want that to be the exceptional case.

Remember: Anyone can send in a short audio clip talking about any book in the upcoming Previews (or slated for release around that same time). This includes creators, publishers and other people directly involved in the project. This is your chance to promote items, including ones you have worked on.

The email address to send the clips to is TheGuys@ComicBookPage.com.

A couple of quick things that help out a lot in the organizing and producing of the episode:

Please featured item in a separate audio file. Exceptions can be made but the episode covers items in the order they are in Previews so listeners can follow along in Previews if they want to.

If possible, please follow the naming convention of:
p###-[M###-]ItemName-YourName.mp3

p###-: the page number in Previews (ex: an item on page 80 would start with p080-)
M###-: If the item is in the Marvel Previews, use the first even page number in Previews for Marvel with the page number in the Marvel Previews.
If the item is not in the Marvel Previews, skip the M###- part of the file naming convention.
ItemName: This is the name of the item. We need is enough to determine which item it is.
YourName: All we need here is enough to properly credit you in the show notes.
Please do not include spaces in the filename. Not all of the tools we use to prep the clips for the episode handle spaces in filenames gracefully.

If it is something not in Previews (like The Private Eye), use 888 for the page number and be sure to include a URL or whatever information might be needed to get the item for I can include that in the show notes if needed.

So, essentially, it use this:
p000-[M000-]ItemName-YourName.mp3

p000-: placeholder for the page number in Previews
M###-: placeholder for the page number in Marvel Previews.
If the item is not in the Marvel Previews, skip the M###- part of the file naming convention.
ItemName: This is the name of the item. We need is enough to determine which item it is. The more complete this is, the better. Capitalize the first letter of each word and don't include spaces or punctuation. For example, "WolverineAndTheXMen1".
YourName: All we need here is enough to properly credit you in the show notes.

Please do not include spaces in the filename. Not all of the tools I use to prepare the clips for the episode handle spaces or other odd things in filenames gracefully.

At the very least, please include the full name of the item in the filename so it can be properly listed in the show notes. If you don't know the page number, that is fine. Just leave it off. But having the full name of the item the clip is for makes it much easier for us to organize the files and prepare for recording the episode.

If you have a link you'd like me to include in the show notes, include both your name and the link it in the email to me and I'll add it to the system I use for doing the show notes.

FICTION SQUAD #1 (OF 6)
(W) Paul Jenkins (A) Ramon Bachs
(CA) A: Ramon Bachs (90%); B: Michael Dialynas (10%)
WHY WE LOVE IT
After publishing Fairy Quest, we kinda have a thing for Fablewood, where all fairy tales and bedtime stories live side-byside. So when Paul Jenkins came up with a mystery and fantasy mash-up adventure set there and enlisted his Civil War: Front Line artist Ramon Bachs, we hopped aboard faster than Alice went down the rabbit hole!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
In Fiction Squad, every nursery rhyme is a crime scene in the making. If you like your mystery mashed up with fantasy, this has got you covered. Fans of Fables and Once Upon A Time will find a lot to love. And if you enjoyed Humberto Ramos’ art on Fairy Quest, then you will not be disappointed when you see Ramon Bachs’ gorgeous line work. Plus, the project has hundreds of Kickstarter co-publishers like you!
WHAT IT’S ABOUT
Fablewood is a pretty dangerous place, but no area is more dangerous than the City of Rimes, deep in the heart of the Children’s Realm. After transferring in from the Realm of Mystery, a failed detective from an unfinished prose novel, Frankie Mack, is about to uncover a conspiracy that could unmake storytelling itself! After Humpty Dumpty is pushed to crack and Jack (of “Jack and Jill”) goes AWOL, Frankie and his partner, Simple Simon, are put on the case.

Berlin, 1945: The allies unleashed the World War II hero Maximan upon the German super soldier Masterman. Maximan’s defeat was only kept secret by the nuclear bomb which destroyed both men. Forty-plus years later, and twenty years after a generation of ’60s British superpowered heroes came and went, the teenage pop star Zenith is the only superhuman left — and his only interest in women, drugs, alchohol and fame. So when he is contacted about the threat from the many-angled ones and the impending destruction of our world, his first reaction is to steer well clear. But the superhumans of the past have other plans! (STK651477) (C: 0-0-1)

FYI, I probably won't get the reminder emails for sending in clips out until I get home around August 2nd. I don't think I have everything I need to send them out on my Surface. If I can get the Surface set up to send them out while I'm still on the road, I will otherwise I will send them after getting home from San Diego and San Antonio.

"Godhead" crossover in...
NEW GODS: GODHEAD #1,
GREEN LANTERN #35,
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #35,
GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS #35,
RED LANTERNS #35,
SINESTRO #6

My recording will be for the crossover itself and not an individual book. If anyone is interested in previewing one of the above titles, then don't let me dissuade you; it will be nice to hear another's take on those books.

FYI: The reminder email you sent out earlier this week contained a link sending people to the previous month's Previews thread. Just thought I'd mention that. Hoped to see more review commitments posted by now. :shock:

Thanks for letting me know about the mistake in the email. It doesn't seem to have been a problem yet as nobody has posted to the other thread.
