Episode 58: Daring Escapes #1-#4 with Chris Osborne

You demanded it so we delivered! The breakout star of Spawn issues #19 & #20, Harry Houdini, is back in his own solo adventure! Tom Orzchowski, Andrew Grossberg and Alan Weiss spin a yarn that combines Indiana Jones, Houdini's own history, gods, demons, religious figures, aliens, time travel and the Pope?! Joining us on this jaunt through time and space is Chris Osborne, host of the Play Comics podcast. Some of the art is great, the writing is at times bizarre, but you could do a lot worse than sitting down with Daring Escapes. This week's recommendations are Chris' podcasts, Play Comics, which delves into the similarties and differences between video games based on comics and the source mterial, and the upcoming Sugar, Spite & Everything is Fine which takes a look at the lessons that cartoons taught us growing up and whether or not we have forgotten them as adults.  We also recommend Assassination Classroom, a sci-fi comedy anime about a group of students who must learn to kill their teacher in order to save the world. The only trouble is their teacher is a tentacled alien who can move at mach speeds. Kieron Gillen's recent Eternals series is probably the best take on those characters.... ever? And of course, we recommend that you take some time to reconnect with friends and family.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects. Thanks to Blake Whitlow for the always useful Spawn Reading Order. Thank YOU for listening!
