There has always been the power of myth. Though there is one man without whom we would never would have been given A New Hope in the movie industry.

This week on Comic Issue,s our heroes talk about the man behind Star Wars and some of our other favorite films: George Lucas.

With Smallville finally coming to a close, a giant Krytonite-Comet-sized block of television is left for someone to fill. What show will get greenlit?

This week on Comic Issues, our heroes face down the latest television pilots. It seems that not only the CW, but Syfy and Cartoon Network seem to be going the Super route. Green Arrow, Blue Beetle and even Booster Gold himself are all getting some Live Action treatment.

Also in this exciting episode we talk iAuthor and iBooks2, as Digital Books make things a little more independent.

Deep within the lair of Comic Issues rests the remains all of our past recordings, including a very special topic that has never been aired.

What is this topic? The only hint is it deals with the future. Which is great as our heroes travel through the past as they relive 2011 with some of our greatest hits, from the Clones to Smacky's first hit of peanut butter.

This show will leave you with plenty of laughter.

The villain finishes his diabolical deed, and turns to the camera with a sinister flourish - but what will he curl to flaunt his triumph?

Indeed, this week the situation is a bit hairy. Our heroes, already gifted in the arts of facial hair take on the moustaches and beards of the Comic industry.

Then we discuss our very favorite properties that we would like to see made into a movie.

An even longer time ago, in a galaxy far far away....

With The Old Republic MMO in full swing, BioWare takes a lightsaber swing at Blizzard's World of Warcraft. Our heroes venture into the unknown as they discuss the pros and cons of TOR. Has BioWare gone to the dark side, or is this a Jedi-tastic title?

Then we hit up the current MMO market as a whole, and discuss what could be a bit different - and price.

So if you had to get a tattoo of a fictional character who would you choose?

We asked you, the listeners, this very question via the Comic Issues Twitter and Facebook. There was plenty of great ideas and some that had already been done. Now it's time for our heroes to go under the needle and reveal theirs, including a very "like a boss" tattoo. If that wasn't enough comic book fun, we also break down comics in religion.

He's making a list, he's checkin' it twice. He's going to find out who's naughty or nice.

That said, how does he do it in all just one night? The question takes on a new form, as our heroes try to determine what type of wizardry Jolly Old Saint Nick practices.

Does he utilize the latest in advanced technology, or is he just magically talented? We also asked you the listeners a very similar question: given the choice, would you prefer to have technology or magic? And last of all, we take a trip to the North Pole to separate the true Lore of Santa from the chaff.
