We get into the meat of the show and breakdown what is CGC and why you should send your key books in for grading.  With the well structured format of the show, JR gives a personal in depth explanation of the grading system.  

The show wraps up as usual with a Flex Pull List.

Anyone can do an episode talking about the greatest superheroes, we dare to be different.  We decided to talk about the worst of the worst, breaking down some of the greatest villains in comic book history.  Using the 2009 IGN "Top 100 Villains" list as a reference, JR & Kevin discus the hits and misses of the comic industry's biggest bads.

Lewis co-wrote and had turned into a graphic novel.  On to more happy news, JR & Kevin acknowledged the the 6 year old hero brother from Wyoming, Bridger Walker.  Bridger saved his little sister from a dog attack and has been called a real life super hero from the like of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans.  Moving on to the meat of our show, we discuss our first ever comic con experiences and our subsequent travels to other cons.  Wrapping things up with our weekly Pull List Flex and mail call.

JR and Kevin jump all over the place in this episode.  The guys start off discussing where the comic industry has come, where they are no longer the red headed step child of the entertainment industry.  They follow that up with the new Netflix original movie "The Old Guard" which is based on an Image Comic series.  Moving on, Kevin and JR talk about Social Justice Warriors and the evolution of the Champions series at Marvel.  The show wraps up with both guys unveiling their respective big surprises, which leads to one of the most horrifyingly funny moments in the shows short history.  This will definitely be one you'll never forget.

Episode 6 of the PS Comics, I Love You podcast brings you a lot of love and some hate as we tackle the subject of the best and worst of comics.  The subject of the great storylines and characters have come up in previous episodes, but not as much detail as this show.  In this episode we discuss the some of the industries great writers like; Bendis, Spencer, Murphy, Aaron, and Starlin.  Also, we take to task these creators when they went wrong on a what could've been a treasured storyline.  The negative is kept to a minimum,  but the guys are still brutally honest in their opinions.  Now, kick back and relax as we bring you the good bad and ugly of comic storylines.

We start this weeks show on a somber note as we pay tribute to great Denny O'Neil, who passed away at the age of 81.  Denny paved the way for some many great creators by introducing amazing characters durning his run.  Segwaying from Denny, we get knee deep into the ugliness that is DC Comics.  JR & Kevin wrap up the show with a little segment called "What grinds my gears" and then its our pull list and mail call to end the show.
