I feel like Max Landis' Death of Superman video is solely meant to be laughed at. If you went there expecting an in depth analysis of that story, you were in the wrong place.

79:20 - I love, love, LOVE Breaking Bad, but I can't watch episodes once a week. I have to watch whole seasons within like 2 days.

39:50 - Wow, I actually chewed the Bazooka Joe gum... and the gum that came with trading cards. Besides the fact they lost their flavour after like 3 minutes, I had no problem with them.

On a similar note, I've heard people had problems eating Cap'n Crunch. Never had a problem with that either. O_o

I had two comments on things that Harris said in this episode. He mentioned Christy Marks early on, and all I can think about was........ well just google her.

He also says that Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill was really good. I have to disagree here. The concept is cool, I like the character, but there were some major pacing flaws that really hurt the book. It's a ghost revenge story where you are introduced to the ghost in the first 30 pages, find out it's motivations in the first 100, and know everything the ghost is capable of in the first half. The second half of the book therefore drags as we just go through the motions. In my opinion a good ghost story needs a slower reveal, and needs to build up to the conclusion. Now his second book Horns had much better as far as pacing goes. I think Daniel Radcliffe would be good for the role as well.

I hope things are going well for you and your family in these times, Cyrus. I know you're agnostic, but I'm hoping and praying for your family nonetheless. And I'm very proud to listen and follow a guy who is a devoted family man. Much love man

Hey just wanted to say how awesome it was to get my question answered on the air. Great show. It was cool to hear from Cyrus. Keep up the good work.

Awesome LEOG this week. Great to hear from Cyrus, all of the special guests + listen to a lengthy discussion on comics. I agree with all the recommended titles that were listed, though I do feel compelled to add my own clear favorite, 'The Manhattan Projects' by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra. Can't recommend this book enough, and if you love Sci-Fi, altered history and comics in general, this is absolutely the book for you (and yes, to me, this book is better than Saga or anything DC/Marvel have to offer)

Yeah, I was never really 100% comfortable with how jokey everyone was with Randy's diagnosis. It's good to stay positive, but it definitely isn't an easy thing to go through. My wishes go out to Randy and Cyrus both. Stay strong guys <3

I send my condolences to you and your father, Cyrus.

I can't believe LEOG having a Comic book podcast. It comes at great time because its been quite a while since I've been up to speed with the comic world.

BTW Rocketeer issue with Mark Waid: Dinosaurs with jet packs! buy it!

Also, Doctor Who season is off to a nice start.

Sending positive thoughts out to you and your family Cyrus. Loved hearing your perspective, it really proves that you don't need a religion to be a truly good human being.

Hey Cyrus,

So sorry for your father's sickness. I know your Agnostic, but I'm praying for you.

P.S. Here's a cat picture that may make you feel good for six seconds.

Thank you to everyone for all the kind words. I'm just grateful I can be here with my family when they need me the most. I appreciate the patience.

Cyrus,

I have never met you nor your dad, however I am a big fan of the site and even bigger fan of having the courage to chase your dreams, as you and the rest of the guys do each and every week. While I am working all hours, typing on my laptop, I have found you and the rest of the crew's discussions to lighten my burden on numerous occasions, and for this, I thank you all. Second, my condolences to you and your family for your father's illness. Having not known your father, I can only judge him by my limited knowledge of his son, and with that, please thank him for being a hell of a father and a man.

It's tough when parents get old or ill. Cyrus has the right attitude, why make things dark in someone's bit of time they have left better to try and enjoy every moment. Although I don't know him or his family I wish them the best.
