Smorgasbord #7:

Rats, Ducks, and Angry Birds

Download (right-click on link)

In this episode, Shawn and Tom cover a rather large bunch of news including Roc Upchurch’s removal from Rat Queens, the new Howard the Duck title (and whether or not Steve Gerber is spinning in his grave), the odd spat over Darkwing Duck comics, the final choice of a Wonder Woman director, and Constantine’s TV troubles.

After that, it’s a quick round of reviews with new launches of ODY-CGotham by Midnight and Angry Birds / Transformers (remember we promised we’d review it all the way back to episode #2?); as well as a trade review for the first volume of The Woods. Can’t say we aren’t eclectic.

P.S.: Due to a problem with either ComiXology or Image, the version of ODY-C we reviewed is short both the opening spread and the final two pages, the omission being noticed only after one of us received his physical copy. Having read the complete version, our opinions of the issue haven’t changed much, so we’ve decided to keep the talk as it is.
