Hello hello hello!
Tim stopped back in this week … here’s the highlights:

• We talk for a bit about why the new Image site bums me out and why Cleopatra 2525 doesn’t.
• Tim schools us on the late, great, Atlas Comics and we marvel at their brilliance.
• Mike & Tim try to squeeze in some thoughts about what else they bought at the comic shop this week while gushing over All Star Superman.
• We answer some listener email (thanks for commenting and writing folks).

Notable quotes from this show include "Work for Image … get a little head.", "Don’t you blaspheme on the Hercules!", "Superheroes have no taint?" and "Superman is Bad Assed Jesus …"

Featuring music clips of "Miss Take" by the Horrorpops and the Descendents "Everything Sux".

This week was just plain hilarious … we got our first special guest and he had us in tears.

• Tim Seeley sits in with us to talk about bad movies and stage plays …
• We chat a bit about the recent KING announcement from Marvel and what it might mean, but probably doesn’t, to the comics biz …
• Mike and Tim recall some odd sketch requests from cons …
• Features music clips of  "Crazy for You"  by Divebar and some random steel guitar thing of mine.

Mike will be at the convention in Dallas this weekend, so give him a buss on the cheek for me.
