Podcastery Redux
Tuesday: Mark Millar's launching a massive new magazine, Alan Moore's getting the third issue of his counterculteral organ out, the IRON MAN 2 videogame that Matt Fraction wrote is out today, and I'm fiddling around with podcasts. Which tells you all you need to know about my career, really.
Due to iTunes for Windows being basically a malevolent piece of shitware designed by subhuman Things with flippers for hands and dogturds for brains, I recently had to delete and rebuild my entire...
