My guest this week is comedian Calvin Cato! How does the V for Vendetta movie compare to the comics? Will Brett ever watch the extended cut of the Watchmen? What happened to footnotes in comics? Who is Cecilia Reyes? What superhero names has Carol Danvers had? How great is Chris Claremont? What happened in the Onslaught storyline? What's the deal with D-Man? What happened with the original Thunderbolts run? What can't they do onscreen with the Thunderbolts? How much do we love Moonstone? Who would be great to play her onscreen? Can good writers write bad books sometimes? Has diversity in comics gotten better? How would you describe Alpha Flight? What happened with Northstar? What Golden Age character is gay now? Why did everyone know Iceman was gay? Google "iceman rogue roadtrip" for some fun stuff. What makes the new Ms. Marvel books so good?
