The 11 O'Clock Chat Room is ablaze with activity as forum members help us celebrate 100 episodes of insanity, flinging questions at us while we talk about Siege #3, Powers #3, curses vs. prayers, Deadwood, Northwest Passage from ONI, Tom Fowler (buy the Mysterious the Unfathomable TPB), Survivors, Dick Tracy, the Longbox beta, Incredible Hulk #208 and Hulk #21, Jeff Loeb, Marvel vs. DC continuity, our 2nd favorite writers, Alan Moore vs. Grant Morrison, Christopher Priest, C2E2, Steve Gerber, Stan Lee, First Wave #1, Batman, The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe, TMNT, Newave: The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s from Fantagraphics, our obsession with collectibles, the price of comics, podcast regrets, 100 and Stray Bullets, JMS and Babylon 5, listener email, and much, much more!

Lawd have mercy! David A. Price is far more chatty than usual this time around, drivin' the 11 O'Clock bus hard and fast through subjects like Jim Rugg, the Challengers/Chicago Comics Strange Tales event (featuring Michael Kupperman, Becky Cloonan, Jeffrey Brown, and Paul Hornschemeier), Web of Spider-Man #6 and the awesomeness that is Xurxo G. "Laseraw" Penalta, Lucas Testro and the Street Angel short film, Jack of Fables and the Great Fables Crossover, Cinderella: From Fabletown with Love, Stumptown, The Brave and the Bold: Milestone, buying titles out of habit, Black Dynamite, more Crisis on Two Earths, Emerald City and tips for first-time conventioneers, Dark Horse's Scatterbrain anthology, Adam Warren's Empowered, and much more good stuff!

Hoo, boy... The 11 O'Clock Comic train started off down the right track -- we chugged through topics like Top Shelf, the Apple iPad and our hopes and fears for the device and its impact on the comic book industry, more on Jon O's Mera and the emotional quotient to mark making, Fantastic Four #575, Remender's Punisher, The Chill and Area 10 from Vertigo Crime, Phil Hester's The Darkness from Top Cow, more Fables and Jack of Fables, Captain America, Fall of the Hulks (Alpha, Gamma, Incredible, Hulk, and Red, with a little Hulk: Winter Guard and What If? World War Hulk thrown in for good measure) -- but it all quickly runs off the rails as we begin our goodbyes when someone mentions the Deadpool variant for Siege #3, resulting in an additional twenty-some minutes of flat-out drunken CHAOS!
