It's a new year and I am kicking off an extended series of episodes that will celebrate the birthday of my favorite character. Superman turns 75 this year and I am going to mark the occasion in fine syle by bringing you a series within a series called SUPERMAN AT 75: THE CELEBRATION OF A LEGEND! For this first installment I tackle a CRACKED article titled 7 Ways Batman is Objectively Better Than Superman. As you might imagine I was not please with this piece and spend a good hour ripping it apart and defending the Man of Steel!

I am once again joined by Andy Leyland and we spend about two hours talking about the short lived but much loved television series THE FLASH!

It's Christmas time and I am dusting off some audio I intended to present last year but for whatever reason didn't. So listen and Scott Gardner, the Irredeemable Shag and I talk Christmas traditions and a whole bunch more!

Shag joins me this time out to talk about five years of Direct-To-DVD DC animated films plus what we're looking forward to in 2013 as far as comic book movies are concerned.

This time I discuss one of my favorite DC mini-series ever...HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE!

I clean out the e-mail bag and talk about a lot of different things.

It's HAlloween/Samhain! So I am talking about the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Because that makes sense...somehow.

A very raw episode this time out. Seriously. I only made two cuts to this episode and that was right towards the end. Anwyay, in the spirit of getting some stuff off of my chest I talk about some stuff that has been bugging me. Topics include Superman, Superman fans, Facebook, politics, religion and comic book fans. Lots of barking happen and even a special appearance by my wife.

"Savage" Steve Raker and I finish out the summer of Spider-Man by talking about the Web-Head's origin in AMAZING FANTASY #15 and look into the secret history of Peter's parents in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #5.

This time out I present a lost episode and when I write lost episode I really mean "lost" episode because I knew where the audio for this episode was but just never bothered to edit the damn thing. Anyway, Thomas Deja stops by to continue our Hal Jordan Festival of Fun where we talk about Emerald Dawn I and II as well as the first eight issues of the 1990 Green Lantern ongoing.

Oh wow. An episode of Views. How in the hell did that happen? Anyway Shag and I spend a good two hours talking the various bad guys that Spider-Man has battled over the years. Well, actually we probably spend an hour talking about that and then another talking about other stuff. Enjoy.

After two weeks off I am back with an off beat episode that is the very definition of casual. For the most part when I have guests on the show there is a good bit of pre-official recording banter that gets on tape because of how my recording software works. Usually this audio is lost to the ages but this time I thought it would be fun to share the conversation Andrew Leyland of HEY KIDS, COMICS and the FANTASTICAST and I had before we got to work. It's a bit raw but I think it gives an accurate depiction of how things go before a guest and I get down to business. Enjoy.

I'm trapped in an alternate reality. Weird stuff happens. Just listen.
