Welcome back from the dark land of AI! This week, I'm hand-writing this so you get my classic Carlson wit. Join the crew in the land of plenty, where robots don't rule our lives and the sun shines every other day. Oh yeah, we read and review every week's new comic books! Check out what we're talking about today in the show notes!

Wallowing in our Will-less-ness

With a lack of Will-power to get us started this week, Jeff and Django try to fill in with their own questions. It goes about as well as you'd expect! But hey - don't stop listening after that! We have a full super-expanded slate of this week's comics coming at you from the wonderful Colette, Roman, Jeff, and Django. Cuddle close and clasp a cold cup of comfort, friends!

Episode 121 - Birth of the Metaphorical BBQ

Ladies and Gentlemen, Roman, Justin, & Jeff gather to give you a very special, very informative, goof-filled insightful discussion on this weeks books. It’s a little long this one, but we round it all out with a discussion of Heroes in Crisis #6 that we’re all pretty proud of, so stick around for it. We’re talking Daredevil #2, Action Comics #1008, Fantastic Four #6, Buffy #2, Ice Cream Man #10 & Heroes in Crisis #6. A couple others also… AND the birth of Jeff’s new favorite concept The Metaphorical BBQ!

Be wary of SPOILERS! There are a lot of them. So read these books before you listen to this podcast.

Episode 100 - Giant Size 100th Episode Spectacular

Folks! Thanks for sticking with us for 100 episodes, and thank you also for your patience on this one being a couple days late. As a thank you (and a justification for its tardiness) we’ve made this one a Giant-Sized 100th Episode spectacular! Like… it’s foolishly long… and unedited soI hope that we don’t say anything terrible…Where we (Roman, Django, and Jeff) along with Colette (YEAH!), talk about the weeks books, and we also have a special secondary segment in which we talk about some of our all time favorite Writers and Artists (not in that order). It’s a podcast for the ages, which means this one may not be for you… It’s long, its meandering, but we got enough requests to do an unedited full-lengther, so we’re doing it. Oh! Also! We got our first sponsor this week! Which means we’ve really grown up. So don’t forget to follow the instructions and claim your prize for being a PAPCAST listener! We love you all! That’s… murphysapplejuice.com/papcast
