There came a time when the old gods… spent three weeks in the hospital?! Tommy is BACK with Mike D. for the first show of 2023, wherein the boys talk Jack Kirby's NEW GODS issue 1 (DC Comics, March 1971). Plus, Tommy discusses his absence and illness, and the fellas talk about plans for the show… and life… in the coming year, all in the Jacked Kirby style you know and love! Happy New Year!

As we wait for our ailing host Tommy to return from illness, Super Producer Rob Martin joins Mike D to fill in for a little vintage CCD fun! The boys discuss the big year that Jack has had in regard to properties that have been adapted in pop culture (including TV/Movies as well as comics). The fellas also weigh in on the whole AI art debate... which is interesting since neither of them can draw a stick figure! We are missing our main man TL, so we are doing the best we can to fill in till he gets better. Get well soon TL!
