Well friends, it's been a good run. I always wanted to do a comic book podcast and I did it. I'm proud of the show. I had a lot of fun with it. With some new events on the horizon, I decided it was time to leave the show behind and focus my efforts and concentration towards some different endeavors.Maybe I'll come back to this some day. Maybe not. Thanks so much for listening. It means the world to me. Take care of yourselves. Take care of others. Read some comics.

In this episode, we slice off a sliver of the complex interweaving crime comic opus that is 100 Bullets. One of my favorite comics of all time, this collection deviates from the main narrative to tell some stranger tales.

Here we find vintage Wolverine, trying to figure out his past and ready for ...

In this episode we get to jump into the mix of an unrelenting series as we attempt to take on some of that good ol' Marvel madness in Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers. The action never ceases as we ride through plane crashes, demonic gangsters, Wolverine getting shot right in the dick, hostel large scale symbiote takeovers, shower scenes, alien invasion induced paranoia, Luke Cage being a cool dude, and more D-list villains than you can shake a stick out. Join me as I try to condense t...
