Video attempts continue to fail! What is it about video that makes it Kryptonite to these brave podcasters? This week's "sportscaster" style was, decidedly, a no-go. Please help us make the hard decisions: Should these podcasters be sitting or standing? What kind of hat would Ed wear? What's the most prominent feature of the back of his head? Should he go back to his days of wearing a "baseball cap?" While the video attempt lies in shambles, rejoice in this knowledge: Ed combed his hair! Scott's glorious locks always fall perfectly into place (even though he is the senior podcaster)! As always, these podcasters manage to spend some time on a myriad of non-comic book related material before returning to the world of comic books, including: Breaking the fourth wall by dissecting the show's "cold open," including the placement of Ed mockery and social media handles, and Matt's mastery of all things engineering! In the headlines this week: Comic Book legend Frank Miller shares his feelings on the "Occupy Wall Street" movement (on which our podcasters find themselves in disagreement); the passing of legendary creator Bil Keane (which leads Ed to mention his favorite comic strip: "Farscape." That's Ed, ladies and gentlemen); a man charged with laundering drug money through comic books; more manga for your tablet-type devices; Top Shelf gets a ComiXology app; "Black Friday" specials - on digital comic books; the return of "Batman Beyond;" Marvel's "Season One" graphic novels and Ultimate Comics line will ship with free digital copies; a new collectible board game featuring Marvel characters debuts; Marvel cancels a slew of comics; and "My Friend Dahmer," a graphic novel from local great Derf, will debut in March of 2012! Comics discussed from the past week include Green Lantern #3, Batman and Robin #3, Batgirl #3, Batwoman #3, Suicide Squad #3, Superboy #3, Fear Itself 7.2: Thor, Marvel Point One, Avenging Spider-Man #1, New Avengers #18, and Uncanny X-Force #17! BRACE YOURSELF for the debut of Ed Benci's iOS app! Sketch comedy and kitty sketches! DISCOVER WHY Matt may have taken a nap during the course of the podcast! Finally, a plague of frogs (with pictures and video to come)!
