With Tim on vacation, I found a replacement for a special episode of the show: Sean Witzke of supervillain. fame. He's a great writer and a really nice guy and we wound up talking for around two-and-a-half hours. We jump from topic to topic quite a bit, but it's a fun conversation with us talking about: King City, Joe Casey, fun comics and Frank Miller, Grant Morrison's Batman, Armond White and criticism, Twitter, action movies, non-comics readers, Alan Moore and other comics writers and ideas, past their prime creators, some movie talk, action in comics, and other random comics stuff. And, as always, it all begins with "We're Hardcore" by Gord Downie. So, enjoy this special episode; Tim and I should be back sometime next week.

Thanks for reminding me about the Casey/Landronn run on Cable. I was getting bored with the X-titles at that time, so at one point I decided just let my mail-order subscription to Cable just run out. The last few issues I received, though, were with Casey and Landronn, and I always meant to go back and find the rest of their run. Even when I was really souring on all the X-titles across the board, I remember really liking what was starting to happen in Cable. The issues leading up to that, with James Robinson and Landronn were decent as well.
Yeah, I'd recommend the Robinson-penned issues since Joe Casey came aboard mid-storyline. Robinson did the first three parts of a six-issue arc, while Casey began his run with part four. Insane. Plus, there's the Robinson/Ladronn -1 issue...
