So, we were supposed to do a real episode, but Euge’s computer decided to majorly crash a day before he was going out of town. So after a night of recovering all of the stuff necessary to record and process a podcast, we cobbled together this mini-live-to-tape episode, just to keep our Cal Ripken-esque streak going (note: we have no Ripken-esque streak).

We’re back! I know we said Rick Remender would be our guest, but due to some last minute complications, we had to reschedule him (to next week!).

It’s an episode about HeroesCon, dream romance, and lovely skies as the crew is back again with the incredible, and all that goodness (sketch above is Ming’s sketch for Chris from HeroesCon, which you can look at here).
