Our Byrne era coverage may have been “preempted” this week — back at it next week with the oft-overlooked “World of” miniseries trilogy — but rest assured that this week’s Peacemaker discussion is still canon to the podcast. 😉 Thanks to everyone who’s already listened, and if you haven’t, cue it up!

I know, I know — I was supposed to pose like I was lifting the car, but it came out awkward. 😂 A little #NYCC went a long way for me today, but great connecting with some past (and potential new?) guests in person.

🎧 to our Byrne Man of Steel episode this weekend ICYMI!

🎫 NYCC MEET-UP! Who’s going next Friday (10/10)? I’m going to camp out at the DC Comics booth from 12:00 to 1:00 for anyone who wants to come through & chat.

I’m not a guest at the DC booth 😆 — but I figured it’d be an easy landmark.
