Listen in for our thoughts on oversized hardcovers, why we love Captain America, Garth Ennis's Battlefields, Thor, Chris Samnee, Alfred and The Outsiders, G.I. Joe, Umbrella Academy, Thunderbolts and Battlestar Galactica. We touch on some of the latest comics news as well as  listener e-mails and voicemail. All this and fresh beats from the RZA. Listen Now!
