Welcome to episode 19 of Small Press Big Mouth, this episode we muse about the forthcoming Bristol Con and chat about the current issues of Futurequake, The Walking Wounded, Alien Inc and Fatalysia amongst other things. We apologise most sincerely for the sound problems we had this episode and naturally it's all Lees fault cos it couldn't possibly be Stace's gawd blimey no guv!

News:The guys discuss Assassins Creed Brotherhood, Bad Company 2 multiplayer co-op DLC, EA threaten to change the face of video games sales, Steam comes to Mac's and mobile gaming continues to make a huge impact.

Reviews:See what we thought about JRPG Nier, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and we look back at an older game, Bioshock.

Richard is joined by 2000AD writer Al Ewing to discuss important topics such as bubble wrap, project runway and beard management. Oh, and along the way theres also some Dredd, Zombo and other 2000AD related talk.

In this weeks's episode Dave and Barry once more take look at all that is best and the brightest in the world of Geekdom. Be warned those as there is a spoiler heavy review of Blackest Night issue 8 which Barry has finally read.

In this week's main feature with one day to go the guys take a look at this year's Bristol International Comic and Small Press Expo.

See enjoy and see those of you who are going to the expo!

With 'consumate professionalism' the team finally hit their stride. No silliness or smut here, no sirree. Ahem. The subject up for grabs is pinpointing some of the more off the wall books that work in unexpected ways. Between the earnest reviews we cruelly cause Gilbert and Sullivan turn in their graves, find room for both scarecrows and tin-men (though sadly no lions or yappy-type dogs), the QI awooga makes its Scrolls debut and the Waltons are revealed to be a little more back-woodsy than were previously suspected.

If you enjoy listening to it half as much as we did recording it you'll have a ball.

Iz and Barry are back to fight the negativity that stalks the world wide web with the positive force that is Good Morning Geekdom. In this episode there is news on Spidey the musical, Batman the stage show, info on Leonardo Da Vinci and the Soldiers of Forever, Ghost Rider 2 and more. The duo then reveal their Gateways to Geekdom and their big review is Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Special thanks to Harold Jennett for the awesome new logo design.

In our extended main we welcome chat show host, radio presenter and now comic writer, Jonathan Ross back to the podcast for an exclusive interview. We talk about the success of Turf, working with Tommy Lee Edwards, the future of the comic and perhaps a possible film adaptation.

Jonathan also chats about some of his future comic projects (including a passing mention of a very interesting project for Mr Quesada). There's also a brief audio tour of his comics room.

With the news that Jonathan's wife Jane Goldman will be handling the scriptwriting duties for First Class he gives us his reaction to the news as a die hard Marvel fan. He also give us a little hint of what we can expect.

We finish off the interview with some chat about his plans for his revamped Hot Sauce website and the return of his book review blog.

Enjoy!
