Its award season Meltcast style! We bring scribe Mark Sable (TWO-FACE YEAR: ONE, UNTHINKABLE, GROUNDED, CYBORG) to the roundtable as we discuss the nominees and winners of the first annual “Golden Melty” awards. But first, we discuss a plethora of books, including the big reveal of BUFFY SEASON 8, THE SWORD by the Luna Bros., ULTIMATE AVENGERS , INVINCIBLE IRON MAN, NOLA, WOLVERINE: WEAPON X, and LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL.
Its an end of the decade blowout as the crew pulls out all stops and invites some of the hottest names in the LA comics industry for a roundtable mash-up to end all! We invite Percy Carey (SENTENCES), Jonathan L. Davis (EUREKA, THE DUKES OF HAZZARD), Mark Sable (UNTHINKABLE, TWO-FACE: YEAR ONE), Matt Gagnon (managing editor, BOOM! Studios) and Pierluigi Cothran (NOLA) to offer insights and opinions as Caleb and Chris run through their top 10 books of the decade, and the audience gets involved to air some grievances! Part one of two.

Part Two:
Aaron starts the recording without anyone realizing it as we kick off the episode with some random chatter about this week’s releases, the Kick-Ass movie trailer, Blackest Night rings, and as an aside, why does Caleb hate Amazing Spider-Man so much? The hits keep coming as we discuss PHONOGRAM by Kieron Gillen, UNDERGROUND by Jeff Parker, NOLA by Pierluigi Cothran from BOOM! Studios, the upcoming SIEGE from Marvel, and many more, before capping it off with a look at comic-fandom today, and how it compares to fans from other forms of entertainment.”
