What's happened to Diamond's Preview catalog when the majority of the cool stuff in the August book doesn't come out until October?  At least, we have a lot of cool books to review like last week's Black Diamond and Elephantmen Pilot as well as an advance review of Nexus #99.  All that and the usual look at this week's new releases.

This episode, Scott unveils the new www.wednesdayshaul.com and talks about the geeky mid-life crisis he's going through. Did he or didn't he quit Pop Syndicate? We may never know the answer.

gutscov001preview.jpg When not fretting about his life, he reviews The Homeless Channel (yes, again,) Gutsville and The Professor's Daughter. He even fits in a couple of recommendations for this week.

It's the special BLANK VARIANT EDITION of Wednesday's Haul that you can have completed by all of your favorite comic podcasters!!!

When Scott is actually podcasting, he asks for listener's help in finding ambitious comics being published currently.  This episode also contains reviews of Buffy #2 and Justice League #7, a preview of books coming out in June, 2007, as well as a look at this week's comic books.

It's the week to be contrary and go against popular opinion.  This week, Scott tells why he thinks Marvel's Premiere hardcovers are better than the oversized ones and why he's excited about the upcoming Avengers Classic reprint series.

He also fits in a review for Unique #1 and goes over this week's new releases, highlighting Absolute Batman The Long Halloween, Fallen Son Death of Captain America Wolverine (possibly the longest and most grammatically confusing title of the week) and Oldboy V5.

Reduced to an 8 year old computer and a headset, I'm going to soldier on with putting out a podcast this week.

It's a shorter episode, focusing on new comics for the week of 3/21/07.  Hopefully next week, I'll be back to something more resembling the Wednesday's Haul show we all know and love.

It's time to play catchup.  After a week off due to sick time (do I get paid for that?) Wednesday's Haul is back with reviews of Rebecca Kraatz's House of Sugar (check it out!) Drink and Draw Social Club (imagine a nice collection of con sketches but with beer,) Superman Camelot Falls (pretty but fractured) and Eric Wight's My Dead Girlfriend (containing a few of the many John Hughes references this podcast.)

Also find out what the NYCC looked like from my own personal view-- in front of my computer in snowy Chicago.  And, as usual, Wednesday's Haul runs down some of the more interesting releases of the week, including Green Lantern, 1-800-Mice and Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane.  And what exactly do I have in common with Claire from Heroes?  Probably a bit more than you thought.

It's time for Thanksgiving as this week I begin a new segment and look back on gems from the 1990's.  You heard right, the 90s.  The neglected nineties is kicked off with a look at an X-Men Thanksgiving issue from 1993. And in the recommend pile this week is reality-misplaced spies, Phil Foglio and beautiful Landron artwork.

This episode, Scott talks about <i>Civil War #5</i>, <i>Uncanny X-Men #308</i> from 1993 as well as <i>Casanova #6</i>, <i>Elephantman #0</i> and Phil Foglio's <i>Girl Genius</i>.
