Just a heads up, we had some technical issues in the beginning of this episode (aka Dan is an idiot and was adjusting the wrong levels) so the first 10 minutes of this episode sound a little low. However, we still manage to get a lot of comic talk packed in…Multiple Man #1, Project: Superpowers #0 & #1, The Magic Order #1 & #2, Outpost Zero #1, The Punisher #228, and The Quantum Age #1.

Also, stay tuned at the end of the episode for a big announcement about an exclusive event for friends and listeners of Comic Book Pitt.
