Episode 26: Women in Comics
Challenged by a listener, this week Blake and Chase attempt to tackle one of the most complicated issues ever — women in comics. How have female characters evolved?

Once the guys get deep, they have some brain candy for this week’s picks — World War Hulk: X-Men and Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight.
