That podcast is The Missfits, featuring your hosts: Stephanie Cooke, Mara Wood and Melissa Megan, who you might be familiar with in various degrees from around the site. This new podcast is a geek centric podcast focused on all things geek, including comics, video games, TV shows, movies, books and more, but all from the perspective of female fans (that's us!). On our first show, our main topic that takes place in the second half of the show is She-Hulk. The ladies got educated on the green amazon and do a little roundtable discussion on the character and some of the books that she's featured in. Additionally, the ladies give out some recommendations for things you should be checking out, including The Bunker, The Wolf Among Us, Nisekoi, Shiro Cosmetics, Arrow, The Shining Girls and more.

The ladies talk about comic book news, share some witty banter, discuss things important to them and more. They also take some time to address a comic book medium we don't often talk about aka manga, answer some listener questions and try to not go to let things get too crazy. Some of the Books of the Week for this show include: X-Men, Ten Grand, Lazarus, Wonder Woman, Avengers Origins, X-Factor, Sheltered, Revival and more.
