    I was wondering if someone could give me an idea how to join the League Of Comic Book Podcasts? We are a comic book podcast that has been going for nearly two years and we wish to join the League if we can. We are currently part of of the CPN and we wish to join your awesome podcast community.

    Thanks for the information and if you have an email address or whatever let me know and we can email you properly.

    Thanks, Michael

    Derek,

    Thanks so much for doing this episode! I hope you know I wasn't trying to challenge you or call you out, rather I was asking for your opinion because a) I've come to respect your views on the hobby we both love so much and b) you've expressed a real love for Love & Rockets over the years.

    You gave me everything I hoped for…and to hear you say at the end that what I read in FCBD wasn't indicative of why L&R is so beloved by so many put me at ease. I've moved L&R to the top of my stack and now plan on giving a few of the trades a try ASAP. Thanks again for the thoughts, and recommendations.

    KARMA MY FRIEND!

    Jason, if I thought you were calling me out, I would have been a lot
    more dickish. :)

    I had actually planned on doing a L&R episode a long time ago but
    never got around to it. Thanks for giving me the boot to the backside.

    I really think that you will like the book once you read the real stuff.

    Green Lantern Blackest Night 0 was a reason to participate this year. I believe of all the problems you stated having with FCBD, non applied to that particular book. If DC does as it has said that is the only edition of that book that will be printed.

    Good episode, but one thing I was hoping for was for you to tell us what Love & Rockets is really about. From what you are saying it sounds like it is a slice of life type thing set in the punk rock community? Am I right in this? Are there any sci-fi, fantasy or horror elements mixed in or is it just "normal" people?

    Thanks, Carlos. I'm surprised that more people don't talk about L&R. I
    still think it is one of the best comic books ever created.
