We begin this episode by talking through some of the HEAT that has been blowing over the internet lately because of Darwyn Cooke’s comments about age-appropriate comics. We then meander over to all things FANTASTIC FOUR (as Sage Rosa brings the motherbox knowledge) and Caleb catches us up on 2 weeks of his reading by talking BATMAN & ROBIN #14, THANOS IMPERATIVE #4, THE SIXTH GUN #4, IRREDEEMABLE #17, INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #30, Mark Waid’s FANTASTIC FOUR and GREEN LANTERN #57. Aaron then talks up THE UNWRITTEN, SWEET TOOTH #13, SHADOWLAND: MOON KNIGHT, and Chris finishes things off with BATGIRL #14, NEW AVENGERS #4, and TORSO.

The meandering continues as the crew begins things (kinda) by talking some Scalped, DMZ #50, Captain America controversy, and continues chewing the fat with UNWRITTEN #10, PHONOGRAM: THE SINGLES CLUB (read this book already!), PUNISHERMAX, and MOON KNIGHT, as well as a bunch of comic book related nonsense. Somewhere along the way the subject changes to continuity, and we discuss how much it matters, as well as our favorite continuity-free comics.
