Full Episode Transcript:

Alex:                 What is up, everybody? Welcome to The Stack. I’m Alex.

Justin:              I’m Justin.

Pete:                I’m Pete.

Alex:                 And on The Stack, we talk about a bunch of books that came out this week, kicking it off with Black Cat, King in Black number one. I wish that rhymed, but it didn’t. Marvel, written by Jed MacKay, art by C.F. Villa. This is of course tying into the King in Black event, but it’s also bringing back the Black Cat title that I know Justin liked ever so much. This one, Felicia Hardy is dealing not only with Knull, the king of the symbiotes, but she’s about to pull off a heist of her own. What did you think about this issue, Justin.

Justin:              I think this is a great issue. I love this black cat series. I think Jed MacKay has a really great understanding of the character, the way that she speaks and we’re in her head for a lot of the earlier series.

Pete:                You love being in the characters heads.

Justin:              I love. Isn’t that the dream? God, if I could be in the head of Pete LePage and Alex Zalben on a daily Basis.
