Gone HeroesCon-ing May 31, 2010
Posted by Euge in : Uncategorized , 1 comment so far
Well, it’s time to initiate our HeroesCon break. We had some scheduling issues with a couple of bigger guests, and obviously anyone and everyone in the comics industry is currently preparing for the convention that hits Charlotte this weekend, so no shows this week and the next (since we always record shows the week prior).
If you’re in the Charlotte, NC area, stop by and say hi to Sims and Rusty at the Action Age table. And if you got ideas for guests, send them to warrocketpodcast_at_gmail.com!
See you guys after the break!
Episode 31 – When Sh*t Gets Real Bonus Round May 24, 2010
Posted by Euge in : Episodes , 27comments
It’s been a weird week for Euge. So when shit gets real on War Rocket Ajax, Chris and Euge do an Edit-Free Ajax Bonus Round, answer listener questions, and just when you think the show’s over….they go to Cuba and blow a bunch of stuff up. Maybe not that last part, but you get the idea.

Most people know that Sims and I are contributing writers to the INTERNET PHENOMENON, Fake AP Stylebook twitter feed. We are hilarious guys, we are. Our book is slated to be released sometime in 2011. But in the meantime, why not buy some FakeAPStylebook merchandise. Mugs, shirts, buttons, stickers!
Do it. You know you want to.

You asked for him. You got him. Josh Fruhlinger, otherwise known as The Comics Curmudgeon is going to stop by to make fun of horrible, horrible comics. Odds that Funky Winkerbean comes up? Well, I believe the bookies have just taken that bet off the board altogether.

Hey guys, if you like my music at AdamWarRock.com and are at all interested in seeing a live show of me performing raps and swears for you, please go over there and vote in the poll. It would help me out greatly.
What’s that? Did you say you wanted WAR ROCKET AJAX T-SHIRTS for the summertime? Perhaps to cut the sleeves off of and bunch up above your midriff to party like a rock star? Perhaps you wish to remove it at the relevant times and spin it ’round your head, sort of like a helicopter? Well, we’re working on it. Hopefully they will be out sooner rather than later. And then you can show the world how much you love the world’s most destructive comics and pop culture podcast.
Also, if you haven’t read Chris’s post at ComicsAlliance on Racial Politics of Regressive Storytelling, you really should. It’s a fantastic article.
Have a good weekend. Get ready for a new episode Monday!
