The cast gets larger and twice as emotional as we go roundtable with returning champs Sam “the Hammer” Humphries (FRAGGLE ROCK, CBGB, Meltcast ep. 22-23), Pierluigi Cothran (NOLA, Meltcast ep. 9) and Ed Laroche (ALMIGHTY, Meltcast ep. 3). We discuss FUNRAMA: THE MUTANT PUNKS #1 (and how to win one this weekend at C2E2), PUNISHERMAX #6, FLASH #1, BRIGHTEST DAY #0, BATMAN #698, IKIGAMI :THE ULTIMATE LIMIT, SIEGE: LOKI, PHONOGRAM: THE SINGLES CLUB, X-MEN: SECOND COMING and BOOTH by C.C. Colbert and French artist Tanitoc. We also get in touch with our emotions to share which comics have made us cry (only because you asked for it), and talk a bit about the iPad Marvel App.
