Cape Town Community Podcast: Ep. 049 “Things That Make You Go Hurm”
Originally published on July 4, 2012.
Don is joined by Max Beckman in this (late) episode as they talk, talk and talk comics. We’ve got the lowdown on the latest Before Watchmen book and question whether or not we still think the project was a good idea or not. We’ve also got reviews of the latest comics and discussion of the latest in comic book news.

00:13:19 Before Watchmen: Comedian #1: Don thought this was the best of the Before Watchmen minis, while Max was left somewhat cold.
00:18:31 Before Watchmen: Nite Owl #1: We both agree that the Kuberts worked magic together, but DC’s editorial staff needs to grow a backbone.
00:30:52 Wonder Woman #10: We both agree that this is one of DC’s finest titles.
00:37:21 Batman: The Dark Knight #10: Don thinks this is the best issue of the series (including Vol. 1), but Max questions the need for another Batman book.

00:45:33 Saga #4: Brilliant.
00:50:30 Astonishing X-Men #51: We love what was accomplished in this issue, but we don’t know if Marjorie Liu’s writing is as compelling as it ought to be.
