It's the world's first Solo-Pete episode of Pete's Basement! Hard to believe after 9 years, this is the first time Pete's run the show all by his lonesome. What does that mean exactly? ...It means no one is there to stop him from being...well....Pete.

Seriously, the amount of zany antiques and drunken foulmouthery in this episode should only be attempted by veteran fans, or those clearly misguided and unhinged individuals who like to hear people cursing about comic books. (You can't even imagine the shit Pete said that we had to cut out of this episode!)

Everything started out just fine. Pete talks about the Captain America statue in Prospect Park, a bayou-dwelling vampire family in Action Lab's Blood & Dust, his new Optimus Prime Titans Return toy -- things were good.

But then the liquor started flowing and each glass got deeper and deeper. Pete had to talk about Superwoman and Electric-Superman. Then somebody made the mistake of mentioning Hot Rod and Michael Bay and, well...let's just say Pete threatened to hang somebody by their taint.

You know what, just hit the play button. But don't say we didn't warn you...

Author Adam McGovern joins the roundtable this week to talk about his newest story, Aquaria, featured as the backup story this month in Savage Dragon! Adam also wrote a vampire horror comic called Nightworld, that somehow fell below Pete's radar -- and you know how Pete loves his horror books. So chances are he's already grabbed that graphic novel by the time you're watching this!

Also up for discussion this week is Aftershock's Animosity, which, as the boys will tell you, will blow your fucking minds! Seriously! Lady Killer volume 2 from Dark Horse, and Kill or Be Killed from Image both get high marks from Ramon. Also, an in-depth discussion of The Killing Joke, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and Who Was The Best Batman vs Who Was the Best Bruce Wayne!

All that and lots more comics. Hit Play!

Some great "odds and ends" superhero books up for review this week, like Aftershock's Captain Kid, Dark Horse's Black Hammer, and Graphic India's Avatarex, written by Basement favorite (sarcasm) Grant Morrison! But wait...that book is featured on the cover image for this episode...did the boys actually LIKE a Grant Morrison book??
