Top Cow’s Magdalena tussles with Marvel’s Daredevil in the Phil Hester book: Magdalena/Daredevil #1.  There are a lot of reasons why these two would clash . . . almost as many reasons why they would also collaborate!  John and Josh talk about this fun story with really cool artwork.

Doughnuts this week were obtained at People’s Bakery in Madison, WI.  It was too early for a Falafel or Gyro, so we picked up apple fritters there, instead.
