We head into the top thirty with Astro City, Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson's long-running superhero series. The first issue explores a single day in the life of a hero, Samaritan. To talk more about Samaritan, his story, and his genitalia, Matt is joined this week by special guest J. A. Micheline!

Crowd-funded murder and mayhem arrives in the form of Crowded #1, a series about a woman who finds that the internet have funded an assassin to kill her. Her response? Hire a bodyguard to defend her! Chaos, obviously, ensues, and this week Matt is rejoined by Alex Lu to talk all about it!

The best comic book of all time ends up at position 32 in this list! What's going on there? Matt's joined by The Middle Spaces' Osvaldo Oyola to take a closer look at the first issue of Los Bros Hernandez's revolutionary Love & Rockets!

This week Matt is joined by special guest Sara Century!

Forget about the Avengers: Grant Morrison and Howard Porter's 1997 revitalisation of the JLA brought in ALL the heavy hitters. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Aquaman and Green Lantern all 'assembled' for the first issue of their run - and this week Matt is joined by special guest Graeme McMillan to talk all about it!

A group of magnificent bastards set off to investigate the extraordinary actions of some irredeemable bastards as Warren Ellis and John Cassaday kick off their much-loved Wildstorm series, which heralded in the 21st century. Everything old is new again, and this week Matt welcomes special guest Heidi MacDonald to don a trenchcoat and talk all about it!

The first issue of Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro was just the shot in the arm that comics needed at the time. A fiercely feminist and uncompromising exploitation story, the series asked several hard-hitting questions of its readers - and this week, special guest Tiffany Babb joins Matt to answer them!

It's time for Shelfdust Presents to kick butts and eat nuts! The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl took its lead character and turned her into one of the most beloved in all of Marvel - no wonder it made our top 50 list! Special guest Sara Century joins the show this week to talk all about Doreen Green, the undefeated champion!

The first issue of Michel Fiffe's Copra follows a group of assassins and mercs for hire as they go about an illicit mission - a mission which then goes very very wrong. It's a lot like Suicide Squad, except... well, yeah, it's a lot like Suicide Squad. We invited Chase Magnett back to the show so he could explain the whole thing for us!

Monstress was perhaps one of the most surprising comics to make it onto the Top 50 List, but not because it wasn't deserving - this dark, worrying fantasy series is one of the best comics Image have ever put out! Special guest Samantha Puc joins Matt this week to talk all about it!
