Comic Book Page Podcast
Summary: The Comic Book Page family of podcasts are hosted by John Mayo, a comic book fan who has been reading comics for decades. John buys and reads an average of three or four dozen new comics every week. Every Monday is the Weekly Comics Spotlight with reviews of a current comic by DC, a current comics by Marvel, and a current comic by some other publisher. Once a month are the two Mayo Report episodes. One covers the top 300 comic book sales through Diamond Comics Distribution and the other covers the top trades, hardcovers and other collected editions. Each month the Previews Spotlight goes over the hightlights of the Diamond Previews and Marvel Previews. On occasional, a Back Issue Spotlight will be released covering a comic book story arc from years past. Round Table Discussions on a comic book related topic or recent convention are done on a sporadic basis.

Bob had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Mark Waid at the 2008 Phoenix Con. The conversation ran to lots of stuff, but concentrated on Mark as a comics fan himself. He gave the best reason for "Superman as my favorite character" that we have ever heard!! We find out that he has a John-Mayo-esque set of Drawer Boxes! We also spent some time talking about some new and exciting stuff he has coming out from Boom! Studios!
