Cape Town Community Podcast: Ep. 045 “To Infinite and Beyond”
Originally published on April 16, 2012.
Jason Inman (Sh*t Comic Book Nerds Say) is joining Don and Jerry to review a new stack of books—and this week has brought another smorgasbord of new titles and mini-series. Are they good? Are they bad? Well folks, they run the gamut in our eyes. After the review we spend some time reflecting on the New 52 now that we’re seven months in and discuss the latest news out of C2E2.
