This is Comic Geekspeak, episode 196. Welcome to Comic Geek Speak. I'm Brian Deamer. I'm Adam Murdo. I'm Brian

Christman. And I'm Jamie Dee.

And this episode of Comic Geek Speak is sponsored by the web comic Randall.

What happens when you're a 12-year-old kid who possesses all the superpowers you can imagine?

You stay home and play video games.

At least that's what Randall would rather be doing. Nevertheless, an endless parade of super villains, giant robots, horrible monsters, high-flying ninjas, and trips to the mall to try on dress slacks with his mom, seems to plague Randall's daily life, which seriously cuts into his TV time. Like everyone else, his age,

Randall just wants to be a kid. But ever since he was granted his incredible powers, he has

been forced to put aside his kid duties of slacking off and playing wiffle ball with his friends

in favor of saving his small town from certain destruction at the hands of unimaginable foes.

It's like extra homework that could actually kill him.

He's also trying to figure out what to call his superhero alter ego.

So every Wednesday in November, check out www.lazycomcom.

That's Comics with an X.

For the first pulse-pounding chapter of Randall, a web comic by

Randy Gentile, the guy who letters funny books like Ultimate Fantastic Four, Runaways, Punisher,

and that book that has the guy with the claws for some company called Marvel.

But anyway, they don't need any more plugs.

That's www.laazycomics.com with an X for the ongoing tale of the biggest slacker superhero in history, Randall. And with us on the phone,

we have Randy Gentile. Welcome to the show, Randy. Hey, you guys. So, uh, you're a letterer, huh?
