Aurora, Chris, Dylan, Keith, Nicole & Swan discuss possibly the most controversial Batman story: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley. This text brought out some interesting sides of us all. We discuss gun control, class warfare, vigilante justice, & if Frank Miller's work really should be canonized?

The song is "Bulletproof Cupid" by Placebo.

Our next episode will be an interview with Joko Budiono discussing his new wordless graphic novel Teddy-1.

And our next Book of the Month will be Blacksad written by Juan Diaz Canales, Illustrated by Juanjo Guarnido

Thank you all, for enjoying the show. As always, there is only more news and exciting announcements to come.

Aurora, Dylan, Nicole and Vicky conduct this oddly Whovian interview with Jeremy Whitley months in advance, and everyone does their best Timelord impressions trying to imagine ourselves to be in July of 2012.

We talked to Jeremy about two series he has available for pre-order at your local comic book shop, and in this month's Previews. The new Princeless "Short Stories for Warrior Women" mini-series, as well as the first Action Lab Entertainment printing of The Order of Dagonet are both books you don't want to miss! 

Jeremy talks about saying goodbye to M. Goodwin as the artist on Princeless, working with Jules Rivera the creator of Valkyrie Squadron, and Princeless' new regular artist Emily C. Martin. He also talks about his Eisner nominations, how Princeless has given him recognition in some unlikely ways, and the pangs of working in comics while juggling a day job.

And for those of you who have been enjoying the Firetower Studios/Comic Book of the Month Podcast feud, things reach their epic climax. And trust us, you do NOT want to miss this episode!

The intro music is "Sparklegirl" by Letters to Cleo

Sadly, Episode 2 went D.O.A. so it is going to wind up being a lost episode.

Hope you enjoy this one though, it was a heck of a lot of fun!

And if you want to get a head start on next month's book, it's Hereville by Berry Deutsch. After 2 Alan Moore podcasts, thought it might be fun to do something a little more light hearted.



See you in 30!
