The Panteon posts new polls on an irregular basis, where we ask you, the reader, questions based around whatever topics we’re talking about, or whatever news that’s buzzing in the collective blogosphere. By popular request, we’ll also be posting a new article on the site proper to go along with each new poll we post so that folks can talk about the topic in the comments area. You can vote either here in the article itself or on the sidebar poll, and your vote will count either way!

Wednesday Number Ones is a weekly feature here at Comic Pants. We take the books that are premiering a first issue from that week and give a quick opinion on them. From time to time we may also include more than issue number ones in this feature. If a noteworthy one-shot or the first issue of a new story arc is released, we may talk about it in this feature.

This week, we will cover Blue Beetle #29, Contract #1, Fantastic Four True Story #1, Newuniversal 1959, Reign In Hell #1, True Believers #1, Wildcats #1 and X-Men Odd Men Out.

What is Rumble Pants? Well, the Panteon has decided to play at god once more. We take a few select comic characters and pit them against one another for our amusement, but we figured why keep the fun all to ourselves? So we decided on a format that would require your participation and will hopefully provide amusement for you at the same time. The format is a single elimination tournament with weekly rounds decided by you, the reader. Just keep reading to help decide the ultimate fate of some of your favorite comic characters!

Some of you may have noticed on the sidebar, we have our “Top Five of the Moment” listed. These are the five books that are most clicking with each Pants writer. It may or may not represent the best books we’ve read all month, year, or just what we’re digging that week. We generally try to update it with books from that week, but there are no hard and fast rules. Inspired by an email from one of our readers, we’re going to post every Friday with the most recent Top Five from each member of the Panteon, and hope for your comments on our lists, or maybe even your own “Top Five of the Moment.”

It’s been a busy couple of months, and with the San Diego Con, vacations and such, it’s become clear we’re just not going to have time to record podcasts in the next month or maybe two. So we’re taking a summer hiatus, and we’ll plan to be back in September, or October at the latest. Not to worry, Wednesday Number Ones, Rumble Pants and Top Five Fridays will continue as usual, and with any luck we’ll manage to get a few more reviews out there as well.

In the meantime, as with the last break we took, we’d like to ask that you use the comments thread on this post to suggest a ton of future topics. What do you want to hear us talk about in upcoming podcasts? We’ve got a few ideas, but we can always use more, and this is your chance to point us in a direction you’re interested in listening to.
