In which, Andrew and Tracy get to meet the “comic book industry’s greatest sidekick,” Pat Loika, of the Loikamania podcast! Pat has some great insight into what it means to be a fan of classic and modern comics, and tells us a little bit about his own experiences with industry giants such as Brian Michael Bendis and Jonathon Hickman. Mostly, we just sit back and listen to his cool stories and ask occasional questions.

Stryfe, Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, the canon fodder of the Mutant Liberation Front, and the Dark Riders — this crossover has everything. This podcast also has everything, including Brett’s extremely long-winded explanation as to why X-Factor #84 is one of the most perfect comics of all time.

Shawn and Jon have a convo with artist/creator/podcaster Pat Loika as they discuss his book “The Villain” and the San Diego Comic-Con. Then from a lost recording, Donny talks about his flea market comic book finds, then he and Shawn review some comics. As always, prepare for tangents that include a bland pop-artist and Betamax. Enjoy.
