There’s no episode this week. We’re not sure what our episode post schedule will be, with the holiday breaks coming around, and me constantly traveling as we look to get our new producer/editor stuff squared away. Bear with us!

We’re off to NYCC! If you’re in the area, tweet or email us, or come to the ComicsAlliance panel on Saturday at 5PM!

For today, the Adam WarRock debut album, The War For Infinity, is now available! Go check it out!

In the midst of recording Episode 43, we forgot to ask Colleen Coover a set of very well written Mass Effect questions from one listener. Upon showing her the questions, she decided to answer them anyway. Check it out! (artwork from Colleen’s website). Thanks to listener Sarah for the email questions!

What Mass Effect 2 recruitment/loyalty mission had the biggest emotional impact for you and why?

Probably the recruitment of Garrus had the most emotional impact on me. Garrus was my second-favorite character from Mass Effect 1, and the recruitment occurs fairly early in the game when Shepard is still (to my mind) reeling from her “death” and the loss of her ship, her crew, and two years of her life. I was seriously tempted to pursue the romantic angle with Garrus in ME2, because I figure she’s SUPER lonely, but every time I thought about pulling the trigger on one of the romance conversations with him, it was like contemplating kissing a first cousin. (ew!)

If BioWare commissioned you to write and draw a comic featuring Blasto, the first Hanar Spectre, what ridiculously awesome story would you want to tell?

Blasto would bust up a Red Sand/Slavery ring by sneaking into their secret space station headquarters, freeing and recruiting the help of a an Asari hottie scheduled for the auction block, and picking off the evil crew one by one. After getting all the other captive slaves into escape pods, Blasto and the Asari would escape in their own private pod and “embrace eternity” as the station explodes behind them into a cloud of glittering space dust.

Really, it writes itself.

How would a fight between Blasto and Shepard go down?

Jellyfish splatter patterns on the wall, yo.

People have been asking for this, and we here at WRA deliver!

If you listened to Episode 38 with guest Paul Tobin, you may have heard a lengthy discussion on whether Batman and/or the Punisher would smile, and the subject of Batman and The Punisher smiling while going to get ice cream came up. Listener Sean drew us some art showing this momentous occasion:

And just to show why Batman would ever cry, Sean drew this picture as well:

Of course, what the picture crops out is Batman having just read The Widening Gyre #6. Yeah, I went there.

Hope everyone’s enjoying this week’s episode with Paul Tobin! Just wanted to remind everyone that War Rocket Ajax tshirts are available at our zazzle store with a fantastic design by site-artist Rusty Shackles. Go check them out, buy them and wear them with pride!

So, a severe thunderstorm struck the DC area on Thursday, when we were supposed to record our next episode of Ajax with ComicsAlliance Assistant Editor, Caleb Goellner. It knocked out the power and internet for much of the region, including most of the trees and power lines, and in some cases, small buildings and cars. The next day, Sims was out of town through the weekend.

So no Ajax this Monday. But check back on August 16, when our guest will be Paul Tobin! And hopefully, Caleb will join us soon as well.

So no Ajax this week. Blame god.

The WAR ROCKET AJAX T-SHIRTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE from Zazzle.com. With an original design from show artist Rusty Shackles, they are available on a basic plain white tees for $16.65, or on a quality blue tees for $23.50 (Zazzle adds on an extra fee for a dark color tees).

Well, it’s time to initiate our HeroesCon break. We had some scheduling issues with a couple of bigger guests, and obviously anyone and everyone in the comics industry is currently preparing for the convention that hits Charlotte this weekend, so no shows this week and the next (since we always record shows the week prior).

If you’re in the Charlotte, NC area, stop by and say hi to Sims and Rusty at the Action Age table. And if you got ideas for guests, send them to warrocketpodcast_at_gmail.com!

See you guys after the break!

Most people know that Sims and I are contributing writers to the INTERNET PHENOMENON, Fake AP Stylebook twitter feed. We are hilarious guys, we are. Our book is slated to be released sometime in 2011. But in the meantime, why not buy some FakeAPStylebook merchandise. Mugs, shirts, buttons, stickers!

Do it. You know you want to.
