For fans of Critical Hit, the Major Spoilers Dungeons and Dragons podcast, you’ll be happy to know it went live on iTunes this week, and you can now subscribe to the show, here. Why didn’t it show up on the front page of the iTunes Podcast Directory? It might be because there weren’t that many people that subscribed on the first day, and I blame Spider-Woman for that.
The Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev series hit iTunes in a big way, taking the number one spot on the Top Television-Animation sales chart.
“To wake up this morning and see Spider-Woman ranked so high on the iTunes charts is crazy insane to me,” gushed Brian Michael Bendis. “Thanks to all the readers, and especially the motion comics first timers, who tried us out and than hit the subscribe button. To quote the Stan: you ain’t seen nothing yet!”
That’s great news for Spider-Woman fans, but I’m sure more than a few RPG’ers are shedding a tear right now.
