Behold, True Believers! The Comic Book Characters have called upon an unholy legion of blood-drenched daemons to deliver nefarious nerd news, both arcane and mundane! Cower and despair before the knowledge of:

True Believers beware; when you pod into the abyss, the abyss pods back. I mean, it might take a minute, but it does happen. Here's our evidence!

-Two supermassive companies completing combination

-The Dark Side of the Flash

-A runtime measurable in parsecs

We've peered long, and longingly, into the black hole and somehow maintained our sanity to bring the nerd news to youse. Crossing the event horizon at excelsior speed, it's the Comic Book Characters Podcast, Episode 101!

I know we said no more surprises, True Believers, but we were hoping for just one more. Instead we've got Part 2 of Episode 100 for ya!

Empty cans scattered around the room, a bottle of rum that was once full, and brandy still being tastefully swished around in a tumbler. True Believers, this can mean only one of two things—either Aquaman needed a sip, or it's time for another issue of the Comic Book Characters!
