    The crew is back with some general talk and headlines, including Quicksilver's costume in X-Men: Days of Future Past, the new Fantastic Four costumes, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and more.

  • Zone 4 #289: Major Announcements!

    This is it! The 250th episode of Zone 4!

    We've promised huge announcements about the future of the show, and boy do we deliver!

    The crew opens up with one of their famous radio drama skits to kick things off with a bang. And then it's into a very loose-format show this time around. No headlines, no Topic Time, just general conversation about comics, TV, film and much more!

    We do have Facecbook Shout-Outs this week, four of them! And we do have plugs.

    And then, of course, there are the announcements. We start sprinkling them throughout the show, then just barrel them out toward the end. There are also audio clips from certain individuals who you'll be hearing from a lot in the future!

    Our special guest, Chuck Moore, had to back out sadly, and we missed him, but he'll be back!

    So sit back, strap in, and grab some bacon candy... and let the celebration begin!

  • Zone 4 #288: Best of 2013 & Green Hornet

    The crew returns - minus John, who was MIA* - for the last episode of 2013 as they each highlight the best comics, TV shows, movies and more for the year in their opinion.

    Then it's on to a single Facebook Shout-Out, followed by some headlines "from the cutting room floor" as they are all film related.

    After that, it's Topic Time with Mark Waid's Green Hornet #8.

    And then to wrap it all up, some plugs and one final tease for the 250th!

    *John, we learned later, was very, very sick. He's better now.

    Thank you ALL for all your support throughout the year and the years before!
