The review of The Watchmen comic was stellar. I think I may have seen Watchmen on the shelves recently, flipped through it, and instantly put it back down, but your review put it on my to do list. You reveal a real depth to the characters I look forward to exploring and I was tickled to hear someone choose a non-super man as one of their favorite characters. I hate how comics often seem to depend soley on flashy costumes and gimics to make their characters stand out. Give me John Constantine, some burnt out guy with 12 o'clock shadow, wringing the rain from his suit and flicking a cigarette under a dim street light before walking into a bar to talk to the piano player who just happens to be a retired Lord of Hell. Subtlety is intriguing, there are depths to every surface. Everyday heroes make every day interesting. Now don't get me wrong, this world needs more athletic chicks in bondagewear, but if you want a story with real depth, put the mundane folks in magical cloaks and have the heros wear glasses. Keep up the good work. I just found your podcast yesterday on iTunes and of the 3 I’ve heard, this one really stood out as being the most totally awesome.
