ACTIVITY #2
January 12, 2012 9:58 pm I want to love this, but the lack of characterization two issues in is killing my interest fast. Issue #3 could be my last.

Word Balloon Podcast – Bendis/Simonson, DC’s Rood & Wayne, BOOM’s Ross Richie, and the Bendis Tapes Part 1
January 12, 2012 6:47 am Fantastic episode, John. I love these longer episodes; the extra content enforces much-needed longer workouts at the gym. It's win-win! Keep up the great work, mate. I'll be sure to donate a few bucks to the Word Balloon cause.

NEAR DEATH #2

June 6, 2011 4:17 pm @KickAss  You're making that judgement based on one issue? If you only read #1 you didn't really get the whole story. You got, like, a snippet. Anyways, $17.99 is worth it just for Williams' art! :)
