The Stand-In-Stacey-sode

After a week’s delay, and with young Stacey now trekking around the UK in search of top entertainment, Iz finds a deputy-Stacey in the shape of SFX blogger and co-host of 'Small Press Big Mouth' podcast, Stacey Whittle.

It might be a different co-host but it's the usual amount of tangents, comic-book ramblings, and the odd bit of appreciation for pretty boys.

In the already out-of-date News, we cover last minute Sherlock Holmes casting, a new Steve Niles film adaptation, and a very spiffy competition to be a zombie in upcoming Insomnia graphic novel Damaged Goods.

Iz and deputy-Stace have an incredibly geeky chat about what they love and don't love in comics, films and tv - with tangents and rants about Superman the Movie, drunken encounters with Simon Pegg, and Keira Knightley.

Normal service will be resumed soon with the usual suspects.

We are back to our regular programming with episode 41 - jam-packed full of joint reviews, the occasional and obligatory Barrowman reference, and plenty of examples of why the birds should have been catching up on their sleep rather than having a ramblethon at each other :/

Joint reviews include: Marvel Divas #1 vs Gotham City Sirens #1, the latest Torchwood, and the Blackest Night event so far.  Stace recommends the Rival Angels webcomic, and Iz dribbles (again) over The Unwritten #2 and #3.
