We start the episode with Walking Dead Spoilers! Joe can’t wait! So if you don’t want to know what happened on last week’s episode, skip to about 14 minutes into the episode any you’ll also miss Joe spoiling the last 6 months or so of WWE Wrestling. Like you care about THOSE spoilers.

Our Tales from the Shop this week is about two shops that Joe visited out in New Jersey, including the infamous Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash.

We then have our first PUBLISHED interview, or recorded interview that has made it to the show…with Terrance Griep, writer of Scooby Doo, Professional Wrestler and prose author. Terrance tells Cory about his short story in the Dark Spectrum anthology, stories about working in comics, stories about conventions and professional wrestling tales.

We end the show with Geeking and Freaking where Cory talks about comics he’s looking for and the price increase of Marvel’s Masterworks volumes. All of this, plus the usual shenanigans and much much more!

Joe and Cory start talking about SpringCon, the big 2 day convention in St. Paul. Big warning, Joe must have found a joke book, since he’s all over the place for most of the episode. They jump in with Geeking and Freaking.

Cory is geeking on the special issue of Jack Kirby Collector 58 that goes into detail on the 102 issue run of the Fantastic Four. Cory is also reading the new Creeper hardcover filled with stories by Steve Ditko

Joe is geeking on the upcoming Dr Who/ Star Trek crossover and the Star Trek novel he took out to New Jersey with him. He discusses how the books are moving forward with the TV continuity and how they are using the Borg in the novels. Cory also chimes in about the novels he is reading, the Elmore Leonard “Raylan Givens” novels. He couldn’t remember the name, but the one he is reading is “Riding the Rap” and the other one is Pronto.

This leads to a discussion of DVD commentaries and different version fo movies and if you need to buy them or not and why Cory won’t buy Blue Ray.

Freaking leads to a discussion of comics sales figures (Cory thinks they are pretty scary), which actually leads to a talk about downloading stuff from iTunes and a LOAD of Walking Dead spoilers. The other freaking Cory has is that Marvel is going to a Self-Cover format. What is Self Cover? LISTEN TO THE DAMN EPISODE!!! Geez, people, do we have to do everything for you?

Not a lot of time for a recap, so here goes:  Cory tries to keep things on task while Joe throws in a bunch of silliness.  That’s pretty much every show, right?

In this episode they talk about where Joe is hiding, Cancelled Comics Cavalcade, the wonders of the library, Muhammad Ali beating the crap out of Superman, the infamous water gun wars and how soap bubbles react when it is 35 below zero.  All this and much much more in this week’s episode!
