So it turns out we’re all still recovering from San Diego Comic Con, and I didn’t even go. On the plus side I went to an animal rescue/zoo this weekend and they had this informational sign telling you what kind of fish you were looking at.
But on the minus side, we weren’t able to tape an all new episode this week. But that means you get another installment of our mini-podcast The Quick Quiz™! This week we’re once again visited by the great Amy Chu as we probe her mind with hard hitting questions about fears, hopes, and sandwiches.
After listening to this you should run to the store and grab every issue of her EMMA FROST series they will give you.
And then you can go back and listen to both episodes of our podcast with her here and here.
While we’re here I might as well mention that this weekend is Final Order Cutoff for WE’RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US #5: THE PENULTIMATE ONE! (It’s not really called that I’m just trying to make it seem a bit more exciting.) Anyway, you know the deal by now. If you want it please consider telling your local comic shop.
And, as a special reward for doing that, here is a short preview. Torture! Double agents! Zoom calls! What could be more exciting.
Exciting.
And if that doesn’t get you excited check out these sexy as hell covers. First one is from my old NEW MUTANTS partner Adam Gorham. You should all be excited about his upcoming work on EXQUISITE CORPSES #4.
Next up is this stunner from Jacob Phillips. I’m super excited for his upcoming zombie series EVERYTHING DEAD & DYING.
And finally we have this incentive cover from my Red Hood partner Nikola Čižmešija. You can find his work on the awesome new GODZILLA series.
This is a fun issue so if you were thinking of stopping reading the series maybe stop after this one.
Been listening to this record on repeat all week. Some albums are just tied to time periods and this Spice record is a late summer jam.
That’s it for me.
Stay safe. Take care of each other. Let yourself become at peace with the world around you, like the Crappies.
