Your favorite underground mixed gender NJ-based comics podcast is BACK. Like the gelatinous residue you just can't seem to remove from your sink drain, our inescapable voices are here to lubricate your eardrums with a vengeance. This week (month?), we talk about Letter 44 by the voracious and prolific Chuck Soulman. It's probably our best book club since Prophet.

After the main event, we chat about Walt Simonson's Ragnarok #1, Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman run, and Steve's hatred of Scott Snyder.

This is Episode 0. It was our inaugural "test recording" in April 2013. The audio quality is poop and we really didn't know what we were doing, but the discussion on Maus – one of the best graphic novels in history – is worth a listen.

Maybe we'll be back one day. Maybe not. It was a great ride nonetheless and we truly appreciate the support many of you have given us.

Whoa. 25 episodes. Who would've imagined us making it past 5? We're basically being held together only by love at this point. What else could keep us going? Surely not physical stamina. Surely not fame or monetary gain. Only love.

I Kill Giants. You ever hear of this masterwork? Golly, hope you're packing some Wet Ones® because this tale is a doozy.

After the book club segment, we chat about Original Sin, Batman Eternal, Genesis, and The Life After.

We talk about the DC Elseworlds classic Superman: Red Son. We talk about some other stuff, too. It's a pretty good episode.

What is there to say about Persepolis that hasn't already been said? "A modern masterpiece!" "The greatest graphic novel of our generation!" "The most beautiful coming of age story in the history of comics!" Maybe you've heard things like this. Maybe you've never heard of Persepolis at all. But now, you'll get to hear the raw unbiased opinions from your favorite ragtag group of mixed gender podcasters. Listen and weep.

After things get less hot and heavy, we chat about The Last Broadcast #1, Peter Panzerfaust Vol. 2, and The Flash Vol. 1-3. It's pretty fun, mostly.

Grab your favorite mild-altering (totally legal) substance and pull up your eardrums to the sweet, succulent sound of Polycomics bringing you a book club podcast in the fiercest way possible. It's here. PROPHET. The episode you've all been waiting for. Don't even bother listening to this episode on your commute. Cancel your evening plans and lay prostrate on the floor with your head cocked eagerly. That's the only way we truly recommend listening to this one.

After you fall further in love with Steven and even more disenchanted with Jamie C, listen to us discuss How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You, East of West #10, and Alex + Ada #2-5. Then it's time for letters! Which, by the way, if you dig our show and have never written in before...now's the time.

PETER PANZERFAUST. The latest and greatest adaptation of the J. M. Barrie classic is a surefire way to set your heart aflame. The Polycrew grabs ahold of their finest hard apple ciders to sit down and talk about volume one of this sweet little ongoing series. Does it live up to Jamie's love of all things Peter Pan? Does Matt resent the creative team for not including Jordie Bellaire? Does Amy speak at all during this episode? Only one way to find out.

After the main event, we chat about some letters, give away a copy of Spider-Man: Family Business, and review Detective Comics #30, Moon Knight #1, and Wolves.

You've demanded it. We're delivering it. We cover the hottest and most frequently recommend new-to-comics series OF ALL TIME – Locke & Key Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft. Maybe you have zero interest in Locke & Key...maybe it's your all-time fave...regardless, this is a must listen. You've never heard Steven's voice crack this intensely.

We also chat about Alex + Ada, Black Science, and Secret Avengers. Then we close out the episode talking about romance in media.

Have you ever dreamed of flying? Have you ever dreamed of being the people’s champion? Have you ever dreamed of floating in a jacuzzi with Kurt Busiek on a cool summer night? Your dreams are about to be realized. Astro City. Volume One. Things are about to get steamy.

Join your favorite mixed-gender, multi-cultural bimonthly podcasters as they dissect this perennial classic. It’s not entirely unlikely that this is the last episode you ever listen to. After the main event…Andrew tries to redeem his horrendous review of The X-Files: Season 10 from episode #4, Matt glows about The Wake #6, Jamie puts on her thrift store beanie to talk about indie comics, and Steve brings you another journal entry from his Little White Book™.

We wrap things up with some Seth Breedlove Astro-love letters. Reading and chatting about letters that you write to us is super great. Wanna get in on it? [email protected]

Unbelievable sights Indescribable feelings Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky All of these emotions and MORE can be yours if you listen to our latest episode. We talk about The Fifth Beatle, then review some other comics, and then respond to a letter. After the hour draws to a close, stick around for some Polybanter™ – if you're into the olympics, Valentine's Day, and platform shoes.

Oh yeah, that insanely beautiful intro and outro is provided by your local indie musician crush and mine, Matt Trowbridge. Can you imagine being held in this guy's arms while he sings to you?

Don't you dare close your eyes.

There's never been a better time to show affection to the loved ones in your life. Write your wife that note saying you're thinking of her, give your son that high five and take him out for ice cream, shoot your boss that email to thank him for his guidance. You'll be glad you did.

You know what else you might be glad you've done? Read My Friend Dahmer. It's pretty heavy, but there's some fascinating stuff here. The gang dives head first into the thick of it and you are beckoned to join.

Afterwards, Jamie C professes her love for Matt Kindt and MGMT, Andrew recounts his Christmas Miracle of getting to bring the mattress downstairs, Amy can't handle sitting next to Andrew any more and struggles to pronounce "J. Michael Straczynski," Steve intimately reads his diary entry about Black Science, and Matt reviews some obscure book you've never heard of.

Tell you what, friends. We’ve missed you. It’s been a long time since we’ve shared audio space together. But our hearts have never been closer, so wipe those tears.

Let’s just get right down to it. We talk about MIND MGMT in this episode. And you know what? It’s one of our most riveting discussions yet.

We also review Damian: Son of Batman #1, March: Book One, Fables Vol. 1, and Francesco Francavilla’s Twitter account.

Let’s talk about Mouse Guard. You ever hear of this Eisner Award-winning gem? It’s an absolute anthropomorphic delight. We discuss the first volume, Fall 1152, and we really think you’ll dig it.

Also, FREEEEEEEDOM comes in the way of our First Issue Reviews getting tossed in the garbage. Now each episode we’ll review whatever the heck we want! A single issue, a whole series, anything! This time we talk about Irredeemable: The Complete Series, A Matter of Life, Daredevil Vol. 3 #31, Batman/Superman #4, and The Walking Dead #1: 10th Anniversary.

We love your letters, folks. We really do. Send us one and become our best friend. [email protected]
