Episode 186 - The May Previews Catalog - a podcast by Stergios Botzakis & Derek Royal
from 2016-05-04T13:32:08
Hold on to your butts! It's another
substantive, jam-packed episode where the Two Guys look through the
latest Previews catalog. And for May, Andy W.
and Derek see a lot of good stuff, enough to make this a
longer-than-average episode. (Yes, the guys are going into 2+ hours
territory again, but only slightly.) Among the many
solicits Andy and Derek highlight are of titles from
publishers such as

that same episode. They also talk a little bit about this coming
weekend's Free Comic Book Day, wonder over the
new Image+ insert magazine (and Andy is pissed
that he didn't get one with his copy of Previews),
poke fun at Millarworld, and point out the truly freaky and
absolutely unnecessary Big Head Walking
Dead figures they saw in the catalog.
