Talking Comics' gang is down right buzzing about the podcast this week as they welcome ** Batman, Swamp Thing, American Vampire** and **Severed** writer Scott Snyder to the show. During the spoiler free conversation Mr. Snyder tells our hosts the great responsibility of writing the caped crusader, how he came up with the Court of Owls, the impending Night of the Owls crossover event and even the origins of the Bat taser!

In addition Bobby, Stephanie, Steve and Bob talk about **Amazing Spider-Man, Lobster Johnson, and Brilliant** in the book of the week segment and go far off the beaten path with Steve to take in a review of Saltillo's **Monocyte** concept album. The crew even manages to get into a little Academy Awards debate. So sit back, relax, grab your bat-a-rang and let's talk some comics!
