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.

Hello and welcome to the Comic Book Page podcast. My name is John Mayo and Irsquo;ll be your host. The segment you are about to listen to started out life as Comic Timing episode #38 which was released on May 21st, 2007. Now, here in the glorious afterlife known as podcast syndication, podcast savant Ian Levenstein, the Geek Pastor Wayne Cordova and I discuss religion in comics. May the deity of your choice save us allhellip;
This episode contains the monthly discussion that I have with Chris Marshall of the Collected Comic Library podcast about the sales estimates for the top 100 graphic novels, trade paperbacks and hardcovers. This time around we go over the data for March 2007. We had some major technical problems on this one. The first time we tried to record my Skype connection kept cutting out after a minute or two. The second night we tried to do the episode the recording seemed to have stopped about 15 or 20 minutes early. My apologies for that, particularly to Chris who took not one but two nights out of his schedule for this episode. Here is the link to the Excel file for the month in case anybody wants to read along. Here is a link to the page of notes (which is basically what was on CBR a week or so back) for the month which also has a link to the Excel file. And, in addition to the technical issues recording the episode, I was a bit scatter brained and forgot to mix the episode down to a mono track before uploading it originally. I've fixed that and re-uploaded the file. Sorry about that...
