While your intrepid host is off convening in the wilds of New York City, Stunning Steve Raker returns to discuss Marvel’s excellent ‘Shadowland’ event with Daring Dave K in an hour long extravaganza. However, before the scintillating discourse can commence, the show is hijacked by Derek Coward who blathers aimlessly about the recent price decreases.

The music on the show is “Bela Jane’s Lullaby” by Polyphase. (http://www.polyphaseband.com/)
