This week we welcome a writer who is exploding with projects in the coming months, Sam Humphries! We discuss the meaning behind the insanity that is Our Love is Real, the craziest interpretations of the comic he’s heard, how he became fascinated with Aztecs, self-publishing, how he snagged a job co-writing The Ultimates, and much more! Plus, we welcome another member of the Hundo Club, Chad Wago, and indulge in another reading from Thrasher!

You guys just bitching about Justice League is literally the highlight of my day. I kind of get why Batman revealed his secret identity to GL in the last issue but why he keeps his bat stuff off for the duration of being in Apokalips is just…no real logic.
I’ve seen a lot of sites call Justice League the Michael Bay films of comics and that is as succinct as you can get.
I’m so glad Humphries brought up dolphinsex.org. One of my favorite memes from back in the day.
The site’s been down for a long time, but all you gotta do it put it into the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/200011090858/http://www.dolphinsex.org
(don’t worry, it’s not graphic at all — it’s almost all text)
I took Bitch-Ass French but failed my Bitch-Ass French exam. 🙁
The date of the Abstergo satellite launch in the Assassin’s Creed franchise is the same day as the supposed Mayan Apocalypse, Dec 21st, 2012.
