Podcast regular Chris Thompson recently had the opportunity to take part in a video conference with comics legend Alan Moore as a reward for contributing to the Harvey Pekar statue campaign on Kickstarter. Participants were allowed to record the conference for themselves and Chris’ video was soon doing the rounds online. It had a few glitches and drop-outs, so he asked resident tech-monkey Robin Harman to produce a cleaned-up version of the audio for our loyal listeners. The results are in and we’re proud to present this very special episode for your listening pleasure.

Although the campaign to raise money for the Harvey Pekar statue has now ended, Harvey’s Estate still needs your help in paying the various taxes, expenses and incidental costs that have come up since.

Despite a mixed week, the crew somehow find a lot to talk about within the pages of 12 very different comics. First up, we go down the rabbit hole with Zenescope’s Alice in Wonderland #1, before stepping back in time with All Star Western #5, and spreading our wings with Alpha Flight #8. We then get laid low by The Bulletproof Coffin: Disinterred #1, soil our pants a little with Creepy Comics #7, and sing our may through the musical mayhem of Deadpool #49.1. That’s all before we deliver our verdict on Justice League #5, give a hammering to The Mighty Thor #10, and find out if there’s more than meets the eyes to Transformers: Robots in Disguise #1. Finally we see if The Ultimates #6 really lives up to its name, check back in with the seductive siren known as Voodoo #6, and shamble along with the continuing saga of The Walking Dead #93. And yes, we did it all for you!
