The Fellowship is pleased to present our conversation with Mark Weiss, founder of ComicBooks For Kids. Mark has some wonderful stories for us about the creation of the charity, the amazing reception he's gotten from publishers (and Diamond), and the kids who are the reason for the whole thing. Among other things, Mark is a good storyteller and kept us spellbound nearly the whole time. Plus a little bit of silliness and our comics picks of the week. Announcements: Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website We're super excited to announce our partnership with ComicBooks For Kids. Details on the website (and you should be listening to hear more, too 🙂) What we're up to this week: Finishing up #AllTheHorror, enjoyed the hell out of it Props to Red Pegasus Comics (in Dallas), spoiler time for Flash Forward and White Knight, and a Joker film review (Liz clearly didn't get her rant on last week 😉) The new Doctor Doom series, and some scary movies Checking out Pretty Violent, and the CB4K drive last weekend Check out our sponsor page! Head to the website and click on the banners for Things From Another World! (Click through the TFAW banner on our site and we get a cut. Thank you!) Please forgive us for some background noise this week. I cleaned it up the best I could, but some of it still bleeds through. The publisher Mark blanked on (who recently merged with Lion Forge) is Oni Press. And seriously, go take a look at the CB4K Facebook page. That's all I'm going to say.
