Loving Lady Killer, Bob.
Steph, I really love Jae Lee's covers for Catwoman. Kevin Wada, who did She-Hulk covers, is doing the covers starting in June...so more goodness!
Have you read Daredevil: Born Again? I recommend it if you liked Man Without Fear.

I haven't finished the podcast yet, but I did some of that 'ol Googling and it seems the trade paperback for Lady Killer is coming out on September 15. I'll be picking it up for sure based on Bob's recommendations.
Also, I think that with Convergence putting all of DC's regular books on hold for two months, the trades might be able to catch up from their normal 6-8 month release window. I know that the Justice League trade that goes all the way through issue #40 (which hasn't even come out yet) is coming out ALMOST in time for the next arc to begin. Same thing with Batgirl and Gotham Academy. But then of course there's something like Batman: Endgame that isn't being released until October, so who knows what DC's plans for trades is going to be post-Convergence.

Chris, Josie Schuller is quite the modern woman, truly living each day to its fullest, provided you consider contract-killing a noble calling! |

Hey Bobby I listened to the podcast and one thing struck me that may make you feel better about Fabian Nicieza writing that book. He did not write Teen Titans at start of New 52 as that was Lobdell.
He wrote Legion Lost which I didn't read but more importantly to you, he wrote the last half of the excellent pre52 Red Robin series.

Even though I don't agree with most of your reviews, I enjoy hearing them. The podcast is so much more pleasant to listen to when you guys aren't complaining or outraged about something. You guys really shine when you talk about comic book related subjects in a positive way. To be honest the constant complaining about Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Man of Steel or other (mostly DC related) topics really gets tiring and just isn't fun to listen to. I've been listening since almost the beginning and you guys are a part of my week, I always look forward to so I'll listen either way but it's so nice to have positive topics covered.
On a different subject, after listening to Stephanie's haul I'm confused about how conventions work and how that whole system operates. I've only been to one con (it was local and pretty small) and to be honest I was kind of lost. When you talk to artists they sometimes assume you know the jargon and I felt a little out of place. I wanted to get commission work done but it was intimidating and with so many people waiting in line I felt rushed and well... like a noob. On a podcast can you guys just give us a quick Con 101 guide on what kind of artwork you can get, how it works, how long it should take ect? This would really help me and I'm sure a few others out there that don't get a chance to go to the big cons.
