My guest this week is comedian Zivan Vasquez! How great are Paul Dini and Bruce Timm? Are Brett's kids into comics? Is it weird to give your kind an iPod full of your own music? What are some good horror comics? What word does Stephen King use a lot in his novels? What came true in science fiction and what didn't? Will we ever get a Batman Beyond movie? What are some of the tropes we get from Batman? What makes Alfred such a great character? Who are your favorite civilian characters in Marvel and DC? Who doesn't love Willy Lumpkin? What is American Jesus about? What is DC Black Label? Do you linger on the art when you read a comic?
