In this week's action-packed episode, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tim Burton's Batman, sail the high seas in search of a Great White Whale, re-introduce ourselves to Howard the Duck, crow about Little Bird, and get ourselves well locked and loaded for a round table discussion about Assassin Nation. We also talk some hot news items, take a few of your burning listener questions, and in general, just have a really great time whilst celebrating comics. Are you ready? Let's go!
