Fellow Carolinian and barbecue enthusiast Jeff Parker returns to War Rocket Ajax this week to talk about his work on Hulk, Thunderbolts and his webcomic, Bucko! We talk at length about barbecue (it wouldn’t be WRA without it), why Jeff wasn’t able to have any snow cream this year, the zen-like conundrum of Shaolin monk vs. caveman and much, much more!

Please leave us a review on iTunes if you have the time! Also, remember to send in your listener questions to warrocketpodcast_at_gmail.com!
Regarding the WWE DVD set you mention, the “poll of the lockerroom” thing was a total fabrication, and the ranking was done by Vince based on who he liked and/or was pissed off with at the time (thus Flair and Hogan were buried for going to TNA).
yea that list was complete and utter BS. i was SOOO mad, for days, and my wife didn’t understand = [
also, pick up WWE All Stars the videogame. its amazing. best wrestling game ive played since the No Mercy/Revenges’ of the N64 era.
Bad news for you Wilson, Bob’s Burgers is already cancelled, not on the bubble.
Man, I was hoping for a much longer conversation for In The Blood, but I agree whole-heartedly about Detective Comics.
Great podcast, anyway. Jeff Parker is always a good guest.
BringTheNoise is right on the money. This is Vince’s say so and the superstars get pinned with the choices. Any list of top wrestlers is always gonna draw discussion or debate. Fun show as always.
1. BAD NEWS FOR YOU, ZEEK, wahHA: Bob’s Burgers was renewed for a second season! TEAM LOUISE!
2. I was expecting a retraction this week from MW about Sleater-Kinney. Do I need to send you a copy of THE WOODS (it shrrrrrredds) to make the case that this is not a band to be grouped with the Indigo Girls? Because I will.
3. Far too little hot-alt-girl service in this ep, fellows. Far, far too little.
I never said a word about Sleater-Kinney being like the Indigo Girls.
I don’t think they’re comparable! Words were put into my mouth!
I just don’t find their music to be elbow-throwing mosch music.
