Acmecast #222 - Damage Control!

Jermaine and Stephen collect and analyze all the available data about the Big Two spring/ summer events, DC's Convergence and Marvel's Secret Wars, in an attempt to assuage fears, educate prospective readers and have some fun! They also gush over Spider-Verse and Guardians of the Galaxy and beg for more advance reader copies to books like Black Mask's We Can Never Go Home!

Show Notes:

• Correcting my own mistake, Titania and Volcana were the teenagers from Denver transformered in Secret Wars, whereas Thundra is a "Femizon" created by Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway in Fantastic Four.
• "Brian Michael Bendis talks 'Powers,' 'Secret Wars' on 'Late Night'" at Comic Book Resources.com.
• "DC Comics Cancels 13 Series (including Batman) Just as Convergence Event Ramps Up" at the Mary Sue.com.
• Doug Loves Movies with James Gunn, Sean Gunn and Michael Rooker. NOT FOR YOUNGER LISTENERS!
