Podcast Fall 2009

\\n\\n

In this issue: Weasels and honkies and mice return, and the Orkin man rejoices. Asterix? I remember playing Asterix in the arcades in \'82! Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, Galactica, leads a ragtag, fugitive fleet, on a lonely quest\\u2014for a shining planet known as Earth." Then: Rodrigo thinks those cuts should heal up nicely if you stop wearing that thing. Plus: For a change of pace, Stephen reviews a bat-title. Also: Every time the Time Lords get together, one of them DIES... so, they got that going for them. Which is nice... And: Jack Lord is spinning in his grave, but his hair still looks perfect.

\\nBatman: Unseen #1 (of 5)\\n
Written by Doug Moench; Art and cover by Kelley Jones
\\u2028
\\nThe fan-favorite Bat-team of Doug Moench and Kelley Jones reunite to introduce the newest member of Batman\'s rogues gallery in this twice-monthly, 5-issue miniseries! Horrible and unexplained murders have Gotham City held captive. Bizarre deaths have been occurring throughout the city, but the perpetrator is unknown. Even when the crimes have been committed in view of witnesses, all that is seen is a glimpse of a weird, skinless "meat-man" who seems to fade away after the crimes. Gotham\'s only hope is their Dark Knight Detective, but how can Batman find and fight an Invisible Man?
