In which we discuss Jeff’s porn-hipsterism and the MAME arcade emulator, Andy gets mad at old people, ‘Awesome News’ treads into the murky world of drugs made from poop, and Ian wonders why he didn’t demand to get paid for this.

There are two distinct battles going on in regards to ‘Avengers Vs. X-Men’, the first is Marvel’s campaign of insisting that you are either A) an Avenger, or B) an X-Man, the second is the average comic fan’s internal struggle about whether or not to care about AVX in the first place.
The people leading the big two always seem to be about a full year behind what the fans actually want. (See: More titles like Uncanny X-Force, Swamp Thing, Batman, Secret Avengers, and Daredevil). The big crossover events may pad your fiscal quarter, but they cheapen the characters, and weaken the foundation these ‘Houses of Ideas’ are built upon.
So someone call Cap, tell him to circle back and pick up Wolverine, apologize to him, and go back and get on with your lives. Contrary to popular belief, we’ll all get along ok if we just IGNORE the Phoenix Force.

In which Andy is drunk, we run an ad for Butterscotch Fontaine’s new ‘Celebrity Chicken’, ‘Awesome News’ out doo-doo’s itself, and we can’t stop acting like children. Also, Ian and Andy argue about Gears Of War, and Jeff’s grandmother makes an appearance. Send your questions and comments to @Hashtag_Awesome and bask in the glory of our wisdom and humor. New episodes every freakin’ Tuesday!

Was it ‘see no mouth, hear no crazy’? Something like that, I guess. Well, today sees the final issue of the Bendis/Maleev run of ‘Moon Knight’ a series I was quite fond of, and actually posted about earlier last month. But lacking the fiscal enormity to purchase 10,000 copies monthly left me with little recourse but to accept the quiet fate of Konshu’s servant. Konshu? More like Clown Shoe, am I right? THAT was it.

Where we speak of The Shame Of McDonalds, Halo 4, and Ian’s impersonation of Jeff gets into an argument with real Jeff, and no one can tell them apart. Also, Jay makes us all uncomfortable with another news piece. Check back every Tuesday for another episode of what has been definitely classified as a ‘podcast’ by people who classify things. Send your questions and nudie pics to @Hashtag_Awesome or perish in the flames of my anger.
