On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Todd Dezago (writer of THE PERHAPANAUTS and SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN) try not to get smothered in acetate as they discuss 1995's SPIDER-MAN: MAXIMUM CLONAGE ALPHA (which Todd just so happened to have scripted).

Comic books have always loved tie-ins to major events and now so do comic book podcasts, as this episode expands upon the discussion of the Spider-Man "Clone Saga" that began on Todd's own podcast RANDOM ACTS OF COMICS.

In this discussion Matt clumsily tries to brand this as a "red skies" episode (yes, he's well aware that's a DC thing), Todd shares the strikinginly similar origins of both the word "clonage" and the name Spidercide, and the late great Tom Lyle is rememebered and celebrated.

Writing nerds will want to pay extra attention because Todd helps Matt understand exactly how writing in the "Marvel style" works.

NOTE: Todd's audio is a little low because he's still hiding from Spidercide and had to record from an undisclosed location.
