We dig deep into the first issue of Valiant's most recent ongoing series, Eternal Warrior!

In addition, Recent Reads, and of course a digression, this time into the origins of heavy metal.

We take a look at the zero issue of Bloodshot, and try to dissect what exactly is going on, and exactly how many incarnations of Bloodshot have sported rocking Afros.

It's time to take a glimpse of the future and discuss Archer & Armstrong #12. This issue has pretty has pretty much everything you could want from a comic, and we discuss is all. In addition to a thorough look at Archer & Armstrong #12, we have Recent Reads, and of course, a couple quick digressions into classic thrash metal and the digital comic reading experience.

The Battle Of Las Vegas is over, and it's time for us to sift through the wreckage and determine who won, and who lost. Generation Zero, The Renegades, Bloodshot, Project Rising Spirit, H.A.R.D.Corps, and Harada's Harbinger Foundation. Who won? Who lost? Tune in now.
