This week, Josh Flanagan and Conor Kilpatrick expound on the western genre of comics as they drool over Jonah Hex #4. Also, we’re not buying into Warren Ellis’s schtick with Next Wave: Agents of H.A.T.E. #1 and “Tales from the Con” makes its first appearance as we share awkward moments at conventions. Listener mail asks about ads in comics and X-Men:Deadly Genesis, and Josh explains why he’s dropping 100 Bullets.
