On this episode Matt and returning special guest co-host Ian Anderson travel to a dead planet in the butt end of the galaxy in order to talk about 1993's TRANSFORMERS GENERATION 2 #1.

Ian recounts his earliest days on the information superhighway visiting Alt.Toys.Transformers, his love for both Galvatron, why BEAST WARS is still amazing, and how Transformers can be considered "gateway body horror".

While Matt tries to become a more professional podcaster and (mostly) refrains from talking about GOBOTS.

Also, it's a safe bet that Matt mentions Nightman again.

On the extra special BONUS episode, Matt brings his longtime best friend Eric Hutchins together with his newest friend Dash for their first ever conversation - which, in true Does This Come in Chromium fashion, was SUPPOSED to be about 1989's JAMES BOND: PERMISSION TO DIE #1 (written and illustrated by comics legend MIKE GRELL!)...

...but it ends up being about pretty much the entire James Bond franchise.

And that while Eric and Matt were seeing GOLDENEYE in the theater, Dash was literally an infant. This fact still echoes through Matt's brain. Haunting him relentlessly.

Also, pay close attention for one of the greatest moments in podcasting history that can only be described as SPECTACULAR STEVEN SEAGAL SYNCHRONICITY!

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Tim Board (webmaster of hawkworld.org) walk the mean streets of Chicago's Netherworld neighborhood while discussing 1993's HAWKMAN #1.

Tim has been a fan of Hawkman ever since 1977 when he saw a drawing by the great Neal Adams and has devoted countless hours celebrating all things Thanagarian -- so of course Matt invited him on the show to talk about the new (?), mysterious (?), edgy (?) Hawkman that debuted (?) in 1993 in the comic with the shiny gold cover.

Importantly, Tim sets the record straight on whether or not Hawkman is a fascist (spoiler alert: the answer is NO!).

Less importantly, Matt speaks favorably of the Chase Lawler Manhunter and clearly loves Deadline a little too much.

NOTE: There were some technical difficulties while recording, so please forgive the occasional pause or awkward edit.
