I'm catching up on all your previous shows, while keeping up with your new ones. I have just one piece of constructive criticism. I hear the word "good" used to describe way too much. My suggestion is to more-often replace the word "good" with words describing why you think such a comic is "good".
If a comic is engaging, entertaining, fun, dramatic, etc... that all implies "goodness" while explaining more why you like what you like.
Are the characters fleshed out? Do they breathe? Do you connect with them?
Is the plot well-paced, thought-provoking, refreshing?
Is the artwork dynamic, fluid, atmospheric, fitting to the story?
I could go on, but hopefully you get my drift. You already do a lot of this when you get into in-depth discussions.
I just think being a bit more conscious about verbalizing why you think a someting is "good" in some of your shorter discussions will help add depth and variety in your podcast.

Good points from both of you.
We will try to be more descriptive when it comes to saying why a book is good. Sometimes I don't really remember why it was good, just a feeling I had.
As far as grading: I hadn't considered that someone wants to know that they are getting what they are paying for and not some beat-up book.

Just wanted to chime in regarding FORTUNE AND GLORY. It is Bendis' story on his first experiences with Hollywood. As someone who is on the fringe of Hollywood, barely holding on, I can say that it is truly a must read for anyone who wants to break into the industry or is even interested in learning about the craziness that is Hollywood. Consider it the ENTOURAGE for comic geeks.
