    A Couple of Chaotic Cretins

    Django and Roman are spouting their comic knowledge everywhere this week, since Jeff isn't here to keep them reined in. And yet, we still talk about mechs, hidden kaijus, hidden demonic ingredients, nude nuns, and so much more. Let's just say, things go off the rails without Jeff to keep us sane! So hit play already.

    The Book of Bohren

    Jeff and Django are tired but excited to talk about Free Comic Book Day... err... Comic Giveaway Day... you know what we mean. They're also gonna talk about some books from last week! More bananas, but no Mark Russell. More Batman & Wonder Woman, but no Superman. More Swamp Thing, but no Moore (I'm proud of myself for that one). So enjoy, dear listeners!

    One Not Very Special Episode

    Django and Jeff are not here as never, bummed to write about last week's comic books. Bizarro doesn't have a new book, so we won't talk about it. There's also definitely nothing here about Mad Magazine, the least amount of DC books in a short while, and some intranational lack of movement. So don't hit stop, hated readers!

    LOOOBBOOOOO JENKINS!!!

    Roman's back to kick rocks, eat ice cream, and chat about last week's comic books with Jeff and Django.
