We start the show on a somber note, as Sam leads our eulogy of Harvey Pekar. Then, the train flies off the rails as Caleb returns and we ask the question that cannot be answered – what do comic readers want? We also get an exclusive first look at Taschen Books’ upcoming 75 YEARS OF DC COMICS: THE ART OF MODERN MYTHMAKING (special thanks to Sarah Boyd of Taschen) and feast on a glut of other books: THE NOBODY by Aaron’s favorite cartoonist, Jeff Lemire; DAYTRIPPERS by Ba & Moon, ORC STAIN by James Stokoe, ULTIMATE COMICS AVENGERS Vol. 1 – NEXT GENERATION by Millar & Pacheco, SCARLET #1 by Bendis & Maleev, PEEPO CHOO by Meltcast fave Felipe Smith, BATMAN #701 by Morrison & Daniel, THE SIXTH GUN by Cullen Bunn & Brian Hurtt, THE MAN WITH THE GETAWAY FACE by Darwyn Cooke, SUPERMAN #701 from JMS & Eddie Barrows, GIRL COMICS #3, and AVENGERS ACADEMY by Gage & McKone.
Reunited… and you know the rest.

We are in full swing for the new year, and kick things off by discussing Image Comics’ CHEW by John Layman and Rob Guillory, the Vertigo Crime line and Jason Starr’s THE CHILL, the works of Jeff Lemire, Terry Moore’s ECHO, and we discuss writing for the single issue vs. the trade. In the second segment Chris threatens to cry as we delve into the state of event comics in the Marvel ‘verse, ’nuff said!
