Kirt Burdick joins the show (or does he?) to talk with John and David about Death of Power #7! The gents get into old vs new comics and their influences, Star Wars’ missing piece, Kirt’s unusual 7th issue success, and Kickstarter VS publishers. Also, David has a bone to pick with Death of Power #7 and ends up being horribly, terribly wrong.
