Another fun and lively discussion on episode 11, helped a long train journey pass quicker!

Episode 12 includes the recent zero issues I believe so that should invoke some good discussion !

Good episode, I figured out why they are so long- you don't edit out the swearing :lol: :kidaround:

I have to disagree with Goat#0 getting a better rating than Bleeding Monk#0, we'll have to agree to disagree on that one, eh?

I recall giving them both around 8.5? I love them both. Sounds like you dug on BM considerably more.

And yes, this podcast will definitely always be an explicit podcast. :lol:

Just half way through the latest episode (and enjoying it!), the question was raised about can animals be Psiots? I think the answer is yes because in a previous Harbinger issue (#0 I think) it showed animals bring experimented on in order to activate them. I think there was a 'hovering mouse' with glowing eyes (from memory!).

I'd stopped reading Bloodshot & HC but Darryl's review of Hard Corps #0 makes me want to check out that issue! I hope it's as good as Darryl's explanation of it! :)

Episode 13 was very entertaining, some great ideas about potential new titles, very creative minds gentlemen!

The discussion on XO #23 got me thinking, make (all) XO armour is made out of previous owners of the armour? For example, as a limb is lost the armour grows back in it's place, does this process continue until the 'owner' is fully consumed by the armour? :hm: Just a thought!

Can you ask Mike to give a quick review on the Armorines book he purchased whilst recording the podcast (really enjoyed the off beat discussion about hard to find books you guys have either recently bought or are looking for).

I'd give that episode podcast 8.75/10 (Chris method), 4/5 (Mike method) and 23/25 (Darryl method ) :P

I think I'm onto something as VDitti didn't deny, but then he might be double bluffing! :) Time will tell!

Just read BS & HC #0 and it was an excellent read, Darryl delivered on his review of the book :thumb:

I'd say that was the best issue from that series since Harbinger Wars crossover (although not sure that comparison counts as this was primarily about HC not Bloodshot?).

Do you think it's intentional that they they flip from depicting Bloodshot as white, then black then white again? Is it an editing issue? Are there 2 separate Bloodshots? :?

I think it's just artistic difference in the different appearance of Bloodshot.
