This week you get twice the episodes for the same price! In Part 1, the show reaches critical mass as pop culture raconteur Jonathan Ross (the man described by Mark Millar as the British “Letterman, Stern, Siskel & Ebert all rolled up in a Saville Row suit”) and guest interviewer Sam “The Hammer” Humphries join us to discuss Ross’s new comic from Image with artist Tommy Lee Edwards: TURF! He shows us how a real radio presenter does it and we delve into all manner of topics, including his work in radio and TV as a host and presenter at the BBC, where his love of comics originated, his vast comic book and comic art collection, Steve Ditko, Mark Millar’s deficiencies in bed and much much more.

 

“On today’s show, Chris and Caleb finish the fight in part 2 of their discussion of Mark Millar. We also blow through this week’s releases, including Punishermax #1, Supergod #1, Daredevil, Batman and Robin, Green Lantern Corp, Strange #1, Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard, SWORD #1, Dark X-Men, and many more. Chris also highlights Strange Suspense by Steve Ditko Vol. 1 from Fantagraphics Books, and we welcome our very first guest to Meltcast – Ed LaRoche, writer and artist of Almighty.
