Fireside Chats Issue 426: The Itis

You are going to have to forgive us for this one Firesiders. We all have a bad case of postprandial somnolence a.k.a. A Food Coma, or better yet the Itis... and it hit us hard. Mr. Maurer was being nice (It also simultaneously started snowing in Hell) and made a Labor Day feast. Well, the meal won and we still needed to record... so bare with us. Join Mendte, Mr. Maurer, and Baby Huey as they talk Venom, Doomsday Clock, Green Lantern, and of course... Joker. Welcome to Fireside... I need a nap.
