    Can you imagine if he got Grant Morrison on the show? It would be an hour of Morrison's thick accent explaining the infinite dimensions he went to after being abducted by aliens, and sal sitting there listing with a bewildered look on his face.

His personality and his life events really gives context for his writing and choices. I'm having a good time. I do, however, find myself saying "No no no no, please no. Don't", hoping he doesn't mention 20:23

Like... Comic Pop isn’t even big or all that known outside of its fans. And the big dick OG Bendis is here talking to him.

    I'm really glad I listened to this. I've only been reading comics for a couple of years, so my first interaction with Bendis was Superman. I really liked where it was going before he jumped on and then he seemingly flipped it all over just because he could and I didn't like the new direction. So I have been pretty turned off of him. But Batman Universe was great so I wanted to give him a chance.
    I'm happy to see that it doesn't seem like he did anything he did out of malice. He seems like a pleasant man that just wants to make people happy with his stories. Still not a fan of Superman, but I don't hold so much of a grudge now.
