He's baaaaaack! That's right, Mark Waid returns for his third solo interview to chat with us about Absolute Power, the huge summer crossover that touches virtually every corner of the DC Universe. Mark is the architect of the project and writer for the central miniseries, the first issue of which comes out TODAY (7/3) with frequent collaborator Dan Mora on art duties.

This little podcast just turned three! And all three Bandits showed up to celebrate in a live show that kinda goes all over the place. We answer listener questions, then talk about a few Hollywood costume reveals, upcoming projects we're looking forward to, and some show related items. Then we take a deep-ish dive into the upcoming omnibi for the DC vs. Marvel crossovers and the Amalgam Age. Were the matchups decided correctly? Did smushing characters together yield any winners?

Over a four decade career, the man has done just about everything in the comic book and cartoonimg world, starting as a letterer for Marvel in the late 70s.
