Super Skull Podcast - Issue #88: Nugs Before Swine

The following podcast is not suitable for anybody. Furthermore, the pot jokes found throughout this week's episode (recorded on April 20th) do NOT represent the views or habits of Vault of Midnight Incorporated or Marcus Schwimmer specifically. They are, in addition, not sure funny. Also there's some stuff about a speedboat, barbecue sauce, and some nifty comics.

Our big picks this week were:

  • Elseworlds Batman Vol 1
  • Fourth Planet #1
  • Dept. H #1
