Today we give away a $25 credit to Drive Thru Comics.  Listeners posted their choice for which Top Cow Universe title they would like to see given a “rebirth” following the events of Artifacts 12 and 13. 

The guys also give some information about where their regular show will be posted moving forward – at the official Top Cow website and RSS feed.  Come on by, but stay tuned here also - we will post some new shows in 2012 that walk through some other properties like the Witchblade Anime series.

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.

This week we finish a box of fresh Krispy Kreme classic glazed doughnuts.  Mmmmm.

John and Josh continue to follow Tim Seeley’s run on Witchblade with a look at the recently released issue #153.  The further we get into this story, the more we’re enjoying it!  Even with the excitement of new characters and a new city, some pre-Artifacts elements keep appearing.

We are donut-free this week, unfortunately.  This episode was our first venture into recording via Skype.  We’d love to know what you think about the sound quality.

Pilot Season voting is done . . . the readers have “spoken.”

This year, there were 8 books to choose from.  In the end, the (unofficial) winner is The Beauty.  Josh and John take a walk through the contenders, compare their strengths, and weigh in on their own votes.

This week we are joined by Witchblade Writer Tim Seeley!  Tim joined us following his signing at Westfield Comics in Madison, which happened to be the last leg of his official Top Cow #Rebirth Tour!  This episode is a little longer than usual, but it’s worth it.  We had a real chance to pick Tim’s mind and see how he came to write the book and what might be in store for Sara in Chicago.

There is some minor adult language, it is not exclamatory and all of it is used as simple adjectives.

It is the end of an era . . . Ron Marz finishes his historic run on Witchblade with issue 150.  At 71 issues, he has had the longest run on Top Cow’s flagship title.  Josh and John take a look at the book, pointing out why every Top Cow fan needs to pick it up.

We enjoyed Apple Cider Cake Doughnuts from Copp’s Grocery Store this episode.  There’s also some exciting news about the doughnut scene in Madison for 2012.

John and Josh really dig into Artifacts 11 – and they didn’t even spoil the biggest news event of the issue!  John continues with his skepticism about the true Survivor identity, Josh has some good points in his favor . . . and then they discover something that just might make for an interesting twist in Artifacts 13!  It makes sense that the 13th Artifact might hold a big key to the story in Artifacts 13, don’t you think?

We got some mini-crullers from Krispy Kreme on this episode, thanks to the nearby Open Pantry convenience store.
