Listener e-mails are the theme of the show. Join Chris, Tom, Sal, Mike and Hank as we tackle a variety of topics. What comics are good for younger readers? Why would somebody skip town with a store full of pinball machines? Who picks the music on the show? Where did Sal get his patriotic nunchucks? All of that and a lot more comic book talk.

The gang is back together. The Windy City Comicon is in the books and we have over a month of comics to talk about. Join Chris, Tom, Sal, Mike and Hank for a good old fashioned episode of Around Comics. Find out our thoughts on Top 10, Freak Angels, The United States Constitution - A Graphic Adaptation, Trinity, Rage of the Red Lanterns and more. We start to clear out the e-mail box and answer your questions. Sal tells us about his new involvement in local politics and a lost day at the greatest sports bar ever. Tom points out why Chris may not have great recollection.
Thanks again to everyone that came to the Windy City Comicon!
