Recorded in a haunted basement, the Warriors (minus co-host Sean Leslie who has been transformed into Zero the Ghost Dog) say goodbye to a couple of legendary Marvel runs, while anger towards a certain ruby-quartz eyed mutant escalates even higher. A dusty old Halloween story is finally plucked form the shelf, and the love continues for Arrow and Season 3 of the Walking Dead.

Could this be? After reading a few comics recommended by Sean, Mr Black’s girlfriend is now reading comics of her own will. One of her favorite comics being Fart Party by Julia Wertz. This indie comic is a look into life in San Francisco as seen through a beer guzzling, bike riding, and sarcastic artist. Filled with humor and heartache it’s a perfect match for those who don’t like men in tights, flying around and picking fights.
