Jimmy got so many interviews from the Toronto Comic Arts Festival that we decided to release a special interview only show!

Fantastic chats with the boys of Kill Shakespeare, Anthony Del Col and Andy Belanger. If you remember, when we first reviewed it back when, we didn't love it. But Jimmy has read more since then. Will he eat crow? Tune in! Willow Dawson chats about her DIY comics book for kids. Steve Manale chats his webcomic Superslackers. And Jim Zub speaks of the awesomeness that is Skullkickers! As always, the Top 3, listener feedback and more! Leave your iTunes comments! 5 stars and nothing but love!

Jimmy is in Boston on the last day of Boston Comic Con!

(With a little help from old friend Kerri Garbis). Also, Jimmy tells of his visit by Kevin Pollak and Adam Busch (for reals, yo). To any new listeners sent here by Kevin...uh..."Hi!" and "Thanks!" They chat about the big Superman citizenship story in the news and have a great Boston Comic Con recap. As always, the Top 3, listener feedback and more!
