ICE Awards back again, check it to wreck it, let's begin...The Comic Book Yeti ICE or Indy Comics Excellence Awards are back for year three. We are celebrating some of the amazing comic book drops of the 2024 calendar year and as usual regular hosts Jimmy Gaspero and Byron O'Neal have invited two guest hosts from the industry to celebrate with them. This year that's comics writer Amy Chase and host of the popular Blake's Buzz show, Blake Morgan. They are breaking down 14 categories of content so buckle up and make sure to grab a piece of paper to follow along with our trivia contest to see how you match up.
Our commercial breaks are featuring some great shows and outlets in the comics journalism field so hit the links below to check them out. Thank you for a great year.
PATREON
We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod. If you like what we do, please consider supporting us. We got two simple tiers, $1 and $3. I’ll be uploading a story every Sunday about some of the crazy things I’ve gotten into over the years. The first one dropped last week about me relocating a drug lord’s sharks. Yes, it did happen, and the alligators didn’t even get in the way. Want to know more, you know what to do.
