Episode 77: Spilling Your Darkseid
This week, McPierce talks about the story arc "Darkseid War" from DC comics. He takes some time upfront to introduce you to the players, such as Lashina and Mr. Miracle, explores the raison d'etre of characters like Lex Luthor and Batman, and wraps it all up with an idea for how DC should publish this as trades when the work is done. He also discusses Action Lab comics and their collaborations with Full Moon Entertainment and hopes to have some of the creative people from both on the show in future!

Episode 76: Don't Look Now, It's Another New Spider-Man

But a few voice mails from Mike Zombie and big ol' shout out to one of the listeners lets this episode end on a fun high note! Enjoy!
