Bah Weep Granagh Weep Nini Bong! This week's Transformers AutoBook Club features a very interesting guest, and I couldn't have hoped for a more perfect fit for the delicate subject matter in this issue! This time Josie Beller takes center stage, which would have been a cool, dramatic reveal... if they hadn't used it as the cover image. My guest, poet, teacher, author and comics scholar Michael VonCalbergh and I carefully navigate the... Complicated debut of Circuit Breaker, with a healthy dash of related comics chat! This is a mammoth episode, but I hope you'll agree, an interesting and fun one!
