The State of the Podcast

This past year was a bit of a rocky one where the podcast was concerned, but 2015 is shaping up to be much better in that regard. But you can't go forward without knowing where you've been, so here's how our two episodes ended 2014:

Episode 1 - Quasar #1 & 2

In the premiere episode, Gene & Jif go over the first two issues of Quasar and why they like the character so much.

Being that it's October, bringing stuff back from the dead seems appropriate, so here's a blog post for you. 

Have you ever wanted to see Quasar team up with the Dark Knight Detective? Well, your wish has been granted, thanks to Super-Team Family. Check out this great cover!

Unfortunately, this is the ONLY cover featuring the Protector of the Universe on that site. At least it was an epic pairing (although I would think Green Lantern would make a better pairing).

Speaking of returning from the grave, there WILL be more episodes of The Quantum Cast. Behind the scenes stuff has been taking it's toll, but that's getting sorted and we will be back!

Band together and support Quasar!

A Rarely Used Power

Here we see Quasar (in his first appearance) using a form of Cosmic Awareness to foretell future events.

Captain America #217 (January 1978)

The Quantum Cast - Episode 2 - Marvel 2 in 1 #73

Jif is busy this time out, so Gene is flying solo and taking a look back at Marvel Two in One #73 staring The Thing and Quasar! The Ever-Lovin', Blue Eyed Thing and The Cosmic Avenger do battle with Dinosaurs and High Tech Goons in another dimension! Don't miss it!

Deathurge vs The Black Racer

On our first episode, we got into a discussion on Deathurge and Gene pointed out that this character was making fun of Jack Kirby's The Black Racer, specifically in reference to this riding on skis.  What do you readers & listeners think?  Let us know either in the comments or via e-mail. We want to hear from you!

Breaking News!

We can finally reveal the actual reason behind creating this blog, and that is to act as a portal for our new Podcast!  Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you:

Hosted by Jif Fishman and Gene Hendricks, this monthly podcast will look at all things Quasar, starting with Issues 1 & 2 of the 1989 comic series.  You can find the episodes over on the Two True Freaks site.  New episode announcements will be posted here, along with items raised in each show's discussion, like who is on that other poster in Wendell's room?

Another feature of the show will be the Superhero Fight Club, where we ask your opinion on who would win in a fight.  This month's match up is Omega Supreme vs Voltron (the lion one).

Please give us a listen and let us know what you think! Questions, comments, suggestions, and fight club opinions can be sent to Quantum.Bands@yahoo.com.

And while you're at it, check out Gene's other show, The Hammer Podcasts!, also on Two True Freaks.

Quantum Bed Room

Have you ever wondered what a superhero's childhood bedroom looked like?  Well, wonder no more.  Here is Wendell Vaughn's room at his mother's house.

Note the geeky decorations.  Microscope, telescope, and obligatory Captain America poster.

Can anyone identify the second poster in this room?  We were of the opinion that it was classic Giant Man, but it's a bit hard to make out.  Let us know your thoughts!
