We are hungry for details, so we took a trip back to Witchblade TPB Vol. 1 and the start of the “Ron Marz Era” in the Top Cow Universe.  Josh and John look at the introduction of important new characters in Witchblade #80:  Patrick Gleason and the Curator.  Both are prominent characters in Witchblade, and the Curator has proven to be vital to the Artifacts storyline.  We’re still playing the “dead pool” with ol’ Detective Gleason.

We survived a “podcast disaster” when we lost the first 10 minutes of the show.  Still, we put a pretty good time together from the audio that remained.

Doughnuts were some “Glazers” from Kwik Trip.
