Prior to the conclusion of the year, Tucker, Joe and Chris got together so that Tucker could bitch and moan and Chris could point out that he's a real jerk and Joe kept just unleashing pure comic gold. Then they listened to Chris talk about Boxers and Saints for like 30 full years.

Everybody got in the boat for this one, a needlessly overstructured barking of The Best In Comics, circa 2013. Come one, come all!

Jack Thomas Chick is the writer and/or artist of several thousands of pages of comics. Of course, it is a product of extraordinary privilege to address, with such capriciousness, works that have contributed so much to the disruption and rancor haunting the burdens of so many lives. It is 5 o’clock in the morning. Nobody listened to this episode in full before it was posted.

On this episode, Chris, Joe and Matt salute Picturebox, one of the show's longtime favorite topics, in a bittersweet celebration of that soon-to-be-shuttered house.

Joe, Chris and Matt talk about their purchases from the recent Comic Arts Brooklyn show.

Time to talk about Sandman! Aieeeeeggghghghhghgghghhgg

On this episode,the crew likes Pretty Deadly (except for Chris) and dislikes Battling Boy (except for Chris). Sort of!

In this episode Joe McCulloch and Chris Mautner discuss the career of on Jim Woodring, with an extra-special focus on his latest graphic novel, Fran. Lots of references are made to Halloween also, because apparently it's October already as if you needed another reminder that time is constantly slipping away. Then at the end Chris tries to make a silly, spooky voice which is really just embarrassing and we all feel shame for him about it.

On this delayed episode of Comic Books Are Burning In Hell, you can hear Joe, Tucker and Matt discuss Sex Criminals and Judge Dredd's Day of Chaos. Until the audio goes out, and then you can hear Tucker talk to his wife, and then there's a monologue by Matt. It's the best thing ever, basically.

It's sequential cartooning, comics, words and lines. But is manga comics? Let Joe, Chris and Matt handle the big question of what to do with these imported excitements.
