Brace yourselves for our most conversational, and most off-color episode yet.

Good times for all. If you’re among the more genteel of our listeners, feel free to scroll to the 16 minute mark to hear a discussion about gaming with significant others, and pretend the first half of the show never happened.

We’re glad you’re joining us today, because we’re starting off with a bang. Justin interviewed Marvel writer Jim McCann about his work (past, present, and future) and we celebrate episode 1 with a contest.

This podcast needs a name, and if you’re the one to supply it, you could win an issue of Batman signed by writer Marv Wolfman! Who wouldn’t want that?

NOTE: Andrew and Justin got pretty excited for Dazzler #1, and in this episode we incorrectly say that it’s landing May 19th. Listen to Jim McCann though, he knows best when he says during the interview that it hits on May 26th. Bright side: There’s still time to pre-order!00

In this episode we talked about:

Hawkeye & Mockingbird ( http://marvel.com/catalog/?id=15547)

Dazzler #1 ( http://marvel.com/catalog/?id=14988 );

And maybe you never wanted to hear our opinions on our inaugural topic: “Wait your turn!” But surely you’ll listen for the wonderful theme music by our good friend JD Short?

The question posed in our first episode is simple. Are games that interrupt or skip your turn inherently less fun than other games?

Andrew, Rob, and Brian discuss the topic, and along the way a charming tale of Rob nearly hulking out is told. Enjoy the show folks, it won’t get any classier from here on out.
