Meltcast 027: FCBD, Wilson, King of Flies, 20th Century Boys
Half the crew is under the weather but we’re hanging tough — fresh off his Free Comic Book Day Fraggle Rock Mega-Signing, Sam “The Hammer” Humphries fills in for Caleb and the bombs start dropping. ALMIGHTY’s Ed Laroche joins our roundtable discussion of Dan Clowes’ WILSON (and Chris’ comparison of it to INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #25), and shares his thoughts on Mezzo & Pirus’ KING OF FLIES and Naoki Urasawa’s 20th CENTURY BOYS. We also touch on BATMAN AND ROBIN, SIEGE Battlefield Tie-Ins, UNKNOWN SOLDIER #19, and Aaron raves about the new volume of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN.
Oh, and Chris praises Mark Millar (must be a full moon)!
