As you can see from the picture above, I spent the weekend at San Diego’s Comic-Con International, and wasn’t able to record War Rocket Ajax this week. But! A War Rocket Ajax without Chris Sims is still the world’s most destructive comics and pop culture podcast, and this time around our pal Matt Wilson sits in for me to talk about comics, bagels, neck tattoos and other assorted dreams.

Plus, Euge cut in two short voicemails I left him from the con in an exhausted and slightly inebriated state. Just so you know, the “Caitlin” and “Richelle” that are mentioned are novelists Caitlin Kittredge and Richelle Mead, two online pals that I met for the first time out West.

They, like everyone else I met out there, were super-nice and totally cool, but I’m sure I’ll get into it next time.
