The Wednesday Warriors go for the gold but test positive for bath salts in this post Olympics special. They pay their respect to the legendary Joe Kubert whose influence in comics is more than legendary. Becky Cloonan’s art also gets Bryton excited as she came out with not one, but two full issues this month.
Megan Hutchinson‘s art is also praised as Bryton talks about his commission he received from her at the SDCC this year. What are “OMFG toys“? The Wednesday Warriors also check in with Godzilla, some Marvel Annuals, a familiar face named Gambit, and much, much more in this post Olympics special.

The Wednesday Warriors spotlight Marvel’s Uncanny X-Force series by Rick Remender. They debate if the series lives up to the hype or if the constant moral question of, “Is killing wrong?”, making the book too heavy handed. Wesley Warren guests on this episode to weigh in on the debate. Both Sean’s share their experience at the ever popular renaissance festival that includes exciting tales of jousting, mead and theories on how the renaissance festival might be the safest place to be during a zombie apocalypse. Bryton and Sean Leslie agree Northlanders #40 is a strong contender for best issue of the year. Sean L. also finds a welcome surprise in his closet that puts him a little closer into completing a foreign toy collection when he finds a Superman that looks like…Ronald Regan!?
