We also give some examples why it's a terrible idea. One of them rhymes with Fanned Whine

Not just on time… early! Vernon and I start off talking Marvel and C.B. Cebulski and Akira Yoshida. Then we talk a little about the Berger Books ashcan.

Two months since our last podcast–we really thought it'd been a month–Vernon and I commit to monthly episodes! Fingers crossed we managed it. We open the show talking about the Big Two and how lousy they seem to be at making comics people want to read (specifically the House of Bad Ideas).

It's been forever since our last episode but we still manage to be (relatively) speedy. We talk about these comics: Kamandi Challenge, Black Hammer, Godshaper, Aliens Dead Orbit, Heroines, Redneck, New Superman, Letter 44, Hadrian's Wall, War Stories, Last Contract, Providence, Mockingbird. Then we talk the CW superhero TV wrap-up (though no "Arrow" because come on) and Vernon tries to get me to spoil Wonder Woman.

The Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows' horror masterpiece Providence has just finished, so what better time to talk about what the end of Providence means; not just for faithful readers, but for comic books as a medium. Occasional guest co-host (and Comics Fondle blog contributor) Matthew Hurwitz of Danger Burger and Joe Linton of Facts in the Case of Alan Moore's Providence join me for this ninety-minute special. Cthulhu fhtagn!

Another long stretch between episodes so we talk a lot for almost two hours.

We also talk about a couple more, but we didn't have them on the outline so I don't remember. Then we talk about superhero movies and TV and get somewhat dejected.
