We’re packing our bags for San Diego! As I (Chris) type this , half the gang is already at The Big Show, and the rest of us will be ready to roll later in the week with our SDCC: Morning After episodes!
But first, we sat down one of our favorite writers, Kieron Gillen (the first creator to ever give *us* a shoutout!)! We discuss his work with Jaime Mckelvie on Phonogram (one of the few books we all agree on – it’s fantastic) , he & Sam’s stories in the new CBGB anthology, Kieron’s process writing Marvel comics (Thor, Ares, X-Men: Sword) versus creator-owned books, New York City as mystical totem, and much more!
Kieron will be signing at the Image, Boom! & Marvel booths throughout Comic-Con; his schedule can be found @ www.kierongillen.com.
Sam & Caleb’s signing schedules can be found at www.samhumphries.com & www.calebmonroe.com , respectively.

The cast gets larger and twice as emotional as we go roundtable with returning champs Sam “the Hammer” Humphries (FRAGGLE ROCK, CBGB, Meltcast ep. 22-23), Pierluigi Cothran (NOLA, Meltcast ep. 9) and Ed Laroche (ALMIGHTY, Meltcast ep. 3). We discuss FUNRAMA: THE MUTANT PUNKS #1 (and how to win one this weekend at C2E2), PUNISHERMAX #6, FLASH #1, BRIGHTEST DAY #0, BATMAN #698, IKIGAMI :THE ULTIMATE LIMIT, SIEGE: LOKI, PHONOGRAM: THE SINGLES CLUB, X-MEN: SECOND COMING and BOOTH by C.C. Colbert and French artist Tanitoc. We also get in touch with our emotions to share which comics have made us cry (only because you asked for it), and talk a bit about the iPad Marvel App.

The meandering continues as the crew begins things (kinda) by talking some Scalped, DMZ #50, Captain America controversy, and continues chewing the fat with UNWRITTEN #10, PHONOGRAM: THE SINGLES CLUB (read this book already!), PUNISHERMAX, and MOON KNIGHT, as well as a bunch of comic book related nonsense. Somewhere along the way the subject changes to continuity, and we discuss how much it matters, as well as our favorite continuity-free comics.
