In which our hero goes to battle alone and attempts to do a solo podcast. He soon comes to the realization that although he might not like it, he’s more of a group book hero.

Ep 12 of Jav & Charles Talk Comics briefly touch on the test pods that Charles did when he thought he could be a solo act. This is the start of one of those test pods. It’s only 5 minutes but it’s also not good, Jav wouldn't even listen to the whole 5 minutes. Although that might have something to do with him not being on it.

In which our hero’s break the fourth wall in their discussion of Gwenpool. They also talk a about a very political Batman arc and Charles and Jav both decide that maybe comics shouldn’t be political. Or at least not so blatantly nationalist.

In which Charles rambles on about Spider-Man for an hour Jav talks some too. First they discuss Spider Island which Charles suggested (of course, the little fanboy) and then they discuss Saga: star crossed lovers have a child, interstellar war, battle for the baby. And a raucous good time was had by all.
