The incomparable number two, August 2010.

So one of the premises of doing comics on this podcast is not to talk about the minutia of the continuity happening with single issues being released this week in the comic book stores and kind of take it back a level, talk about things on the level of stuff that's largely available in trade paperback or hardcover so you can get it at your comic store or your local bookstore or on Amazon fairly regularly.

Or e-readers as you two both have done.

Yes, we have iPads here with our topic here.

One of us did it legally, and the other one, maybe not as much.

And we'll let you know, we'll leave to the reader to exercise.

It's a shameful, I think, that you stole that book, Lisa.

Anyway, I'm Jason Snell, and I am here with, just to make it extra confusing, Jason Brightman.

Hello.

And Lisa Schmeiser.

Hi there.

And we're here to talk comics.

And it's funny that I'm in the room with people who probably do visit comic stores regularly.

I am a fraud and do not.

I am a trade paperback kind of person or a digital download kind of person.

But I like the idea of doing a comic book club and picking a comic that is available readily in bookstores and then talking about it.

And then we'll, I'm sure, go off on some tangents.

Our topic this week is The Unwritten, which is from Vertigo.

It's by Mike Perry and Peter Gross.

Mike Carey and Peter Gross.

And this was Lisa's selection in the comic book club, I believe.

Yes.
