The crew returns with two topics for the price of one! (still FREE, btw) First, they review the first issue of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents from IDW. Then, they discuss the Marvel event Cataclysm and the possible merging of the Ultimate and regular Marvel Universes.

But before all that, there are some headlines, mostly film related, including news about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Avengers 2, Ant-Man and more, and BOOM! Studios' new Facebook Submissions page.

And there are new shout-outs again this week! Plus some plugs.

So grab your chocolate covered bacon, a glass of your favorite beverage, and kick back for some great discussion. It's time to enter the Zone!
