  1. More episodes like this one would be great. We download your podcast– we like hearing YOU GUYS talk about comics! We don’t always need a guest.

  2. I really liked this podcast. Also loved the podcast with Khouri about Dan Didio’s top ten DC “achievements.” More round table discussions would be great.

  3. I’m just gonna go out there and say I can’t hate Mister Sinister. Dude has a rocketship shaped like his head hidden inside a robot.

  4. Sixthed! I know you guys edit these down, I want what was left on the cutting room floor. You guys are the only podcast I wish was longer.

  5. I like the Round Table format. As much as i like the general talk about BBQ and wrestling it’s always good to talk about some comics. Also how could nobody put Cable for Worst Character and also Worst costume? just saying bros cable was aweful.

  6. I’ve listened to this like three-four times now. It’s always fun to chat about the convoluted history of the X-Men.

  7. Also, wasn’t it Chuck Austen that established that the blood from Angel’s wings had healing properties (hence the talk about AIDS)?

  8. This round table was great, definitely do more. I quite enjoy listening to you guys speaking about comics. This episode was especially good because I’ve been trying to read more X-Titles, now I know to definitely never ever read The Draco.

  9. Listening to this one again… Matt, since you loved the naval combat in AC III so much… you must be VERY excited about the upcoming AC IV where you play a full-on pirate captain.
