This week, Pat and Antonio Cuneo talk the living hell out of X-Men: First Class. They talk about their favorite bits, the cameos, the action… everything about the movie. There are HEAVY spoilers, though, so be careful when you listen! Music by Steve Earnhart and Henry Jackman from the X-Men: First Class soundtrack!
We are glad to have Wade Kapanke, who brought doughnuts and some great questions about the Top Cow Universe. Josh kicks off the show with a review of the history of National Doughnut Day, and we also review the August solicitations from Top Cow.

On this holiday, we celebrate by reading the Free Comic Book Day story Okie Dokie Donuts from Top Shelf Books. It is written and drawn by Chris Eliopoulos, known for his webcomic Misery Loves Sherman and his lettering and writing work for Marvel Comics. How can we resist a donut shop comic on such an important holiday!
If it is June 2011, you can buy a 6-pack of Berserker issues direct from the Top Cow Store. Proceeds from sales of this pack will go to Tornado Relief in Joplin, MO.
Music on this episode is “Donut Man” by the Dickies. Podsafe music courtesy of MusicAlley. Check them out and buy the track, if you’re so inclined!
Doughnuts this week were from Fosdal Home Bakery in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Thanks to Wade for picking them up this week!
We have another reading from Free Comic Book Day . . . and you know it’s going to be about Sara Pezzini! Thanks to Drive Thru Comics for sponsoring these guest appearances!
The conversation turns to the cost to produce comic books, the value of intangible products, rigid vs elastic price point, and non comic book related hobbies.
Host Derek Coward debuts a new podcast about Matt Wagner’s creation Grendel for the Readerfeed. In the first episode, he talks briefly about his history with Grendel, what he wants the show to be about and discusses the original Grendel story from Primer 2.
