It's a somewhat truncated show this week, as Rob has been battling a bug for the past couple of days. However, The Show Must Go On, particularly when you do a show about superhero comics during a week when the first medically-created superpowers were discovered. Sure, they're crappy superpowers, and they run the risk of making you see C'thulhu in every dark corner, but I guess you've gotta start somewhere.

More importantly, we wanted to announce that while we will not be covering this year's San Diego Comic-Con, we will be covering The Chicago Comic And Entertainment Expo the last weekend in April! So in this episode we talk about why we chose to cover that particular convention, a preliminary schedule of podcast episodes we'll be releasing during and after the con, some of the more interesting panels we want to take in and cover, and how C2E2's guest roster and programming schedule remind us pretty strongly of SDCC as it was ten years ago.

We also discuss:

Darth Vader #3, written by Kieron Gillen with art by Salvador Larroca, and:
Miami Vice: Remix #1, written by Joe Casey with art by Jim Mahfood!

And now the disclaimers:

We record this show live to tape. While it might mean a looser comics podcast than you're used to, it also means that anything can happen. Like finding out whether "pig slapping" means what Amanda thinks it means.
This show contains spoilers. While we try to shout out warnings ahead of time, be aware that we might ruin your knowledge of the current mental state of Lt. Martin Castillo (that state being "shaky." See? Spoilers everywhere!).
This show contains adult, profane language, and is therefore not safe for work. Do you want your boss to know Rob's definition of "pig slapping"? Of course not. Get some headphones.

Enjoy the show, suckers!
