Here's the second part of year-end round-up that focuses on the bad or the worst of the year. I won't lie; this is one of our favorite episodes to record, so hopefully you enjoy Kevin and I telling you our worst of the year in comics and of course recapping several of our contributors moments as well. Just like with the "Best of/Good" list we'll have a written companion piece for this podcast that will be available in three parts tomorrow. Also if you missed the "Good of 2013" I've included it below as well and you can check out the companion pieces to that here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4. Have a safe and happy New Year from all of us at Comic Bastards and thank you for listening, we'll be back next week with a new episode.

Episode 112: 2013 Comic Book Round-Up: Part 1 - The Good

Well here it is our big end of the year round-up. This is where Kevin and I sit down and go through our categories and tell you what we and the rest of the Comic Bastards contributors picked for their "Best" of 2013. If you're unfamiliar with our format we tend to do this a bit differently from most sites so don't look for us to hand out "Best Writer" or "Artist." Nope we do it the Comic Bastards way. Look for the update later this week for the written companion piece to go along with this. iTunes decided to take the holiday off which jacked up the schedule. At any rate, here's 2013 according to Comic Bastards. Believe in the CBMFP!

Episode 111: A Conversation With Tonatzin Mondragon

We're very happy to present a special interview episode of the CBMFP this week. Kevin and I sat down and talked to Tonatzin Mondragon about her new kickstarter project Lumin: The Golden Warrior is Born. If Tonatzin looks familiar that's because she was one of the contestants on Stan Lee's Who Wants to be a Superhero. We talk a bit about that, but mostly about her goals with the project and of course our usual shenanigans.
