Awesomed By Comics Podcast

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by the Lighter Side of the Coffee News, hey-o! Evie is back this week but doesn't do much to rein in one of Aaron's more fiery Hal Jordan-related rants to date, and there's a lot of love for the shrieking undead and projectile vomiting. Spunky redheads cash in this week, because what the hell else is new in comics, and the secret identity need-to-know standards in Amazing Spider-Man are getting out of hand.Tell us what you think on our blog, visit our show forum, and leave an iTunes review!

This episode of Awesomed By Comics is brought to you by Muddy Road, the "My Way" of Zen Koans.

Unknown Soldier wins huge, and Aaron demands that everyone go find a copy of "The Stuff of Legend" which is Fables-level good.Aaron spends very little time talking about the New Warriors or Pokemon, despite the fact that nobody was there to stop him from doing so.Tell us what you think on our blog, visit our show forum, and leave an iTunes review!
