This issue finds Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston delving into these night owls (including Nite Owl) and their capacity to shine light on what bad guys do in the dark!

For the last few years there has not been a year without the sound of your hosts Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston railing against the collection assassin that is the San Diego Comic Con exclusive - regardless of the vendor.
2019 will see this tradition continuing as they share their thoughts about this year's slate of "can't-get-it-if-you-are-not-here collectibles that are being offered at SDCC. While conditions have improved for collectors, the exclusivity of some items remains quite problematic.
Find out what the guys have to say about things this year....

Hey kids, Shang-Chi!
After more than 300 issues of the show it was past time that Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston discussed the son of Fu-Manchu who is also Marvel's self-styled "Master of Kung-Fu"! That's twice the Fu!
From beginnings as a leap onto the martial arts bandwagon of the 70s with a Bruce Lee-inspired lead to weaving the legend of Fu Manchu into his story to the ups and downs of a character the publisher sometimes loved, sometimes loathed, there was a lot to cover with one of JediCole's favorite comics!

Warner Brothers had finally realized that dark and brooding is great for Batman, but not necessarily the entire DCU. So it is only natural that "Shazam!" is the topic of discussion in this HCK! arc that explores recent comic book based television shows and movies.
This week Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston are joined by none other than JediCole's own dad! Amazing insights are had from someone who read Captain Marvel comics (the one featuring the lead character of Shazam!) back in the early 40s!
