Talking About Godzilla! (LIVE)
I watched a few Godzilla movies this weekend. Which ones stand the test of time, and which don't? What changed between the original Japanese movie and its American adaptation? And how good are the newest round of Godzilla movies?

Does Rippa Understand the Universe Effect? (LIVE)
You announce that your company will be publishing a "universe" of comic book titles. What's that supposed to do for you? According to Eric July, it's supposed to give you different titles to pick and choose from. But is that how the "universe effect" has historically worked in *your* reading life?

Liam's Windfall and Andy's Woe (LIVE)
Liam Gray's DINO KING gets an amazingly positive review from Ethan Van Sciver, and his book sells out and goes into a second printing. Andy Smith's KOR-DRATH: THE RECKONING, on the other hand, got a highly negative review from me, and its sequel's revenue may close out 60% down from before. It all poses a question: What are a reviewer's responsibilities?

How Scott Adams Debunked HIMSELF!
Why did Scott Adams recently release a new debunking PDF for the Drink Bleach Hoax? Because his first PDF debunked *him* -- and in honor of Scott's directly telling me I'm hallucinating, I'll show you I'm right.

CYBERFROG 2: Stop Stepping on Yourself!
A little layering in a comic book page can be good. An excess of layering is usually not good. Here's an example from CYBERFROG 2: REKT PLANET where the art and captions get in their own way.
(NOTE: Eric Weathers is the letterer of CYBERFROG 2: REKT PLANET, not its colorist Kyle Ritter.)
