After the usual creator bios and background information, they delve into and provide voices for each of these issues, detailing the origins of all featured characters as well as other "valuable" information about their first appearances. After a break, the two wrap up the Gen13 series and other relevant creator info, then talk about some of their favorite gimmick covers from that period in comics history known as the Chromium Age!
