0:00.0	This is Comic Geek Speak, special footnotes episode on Comic Geek Speak.
0:29.2	I'm your host, Peter Rios, and I'm going to be your only host for this episode.
0:33.8	So you may be asking yourself, why Titans 23 through 25?
0:39.3	Well, that is the triptych cover by Phil Jimenez, with colors by Tanya and Richard Horry,
