Episode 13 - Spies Like Us f/Chris Roberson
It finally happened. We breached the 2 hour mark. For those who hate how long
our episodes are, maybe you can blame writer Chris Roberson for being too
interesting, as he talks about Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love and his
upcoming title I, Zombie. Or, you can blame Dr. K, since he stops by to talk
about his trip with Sims to the infamous South of the Border. Or maybe, just
maybe…you can blame the REGGAETON AIR HORN. Either way, it's an episode of
international intrigue and racist tourist traps. And really, how can you
shortchange any of that?

talk about his new title Underground, as well as his experiences working
on Agents of Atlas, Thunderbolts, Mysterius: The Unfathomable, Interman, and
everything else that he does. We intended to talk about the "Awesome Approach"
to writing comics (Jeff's choice), but really we just ended up talking about
