IGN Assemble! #80 - IGN Assemble and the Irreparable Rift
In celebration of IGN Assemble's 80th episode, we break down the barriers and get real with each other. So real, in fact, that we learn how much we don't respect each other. That's not entirely true, but we do have some wedges driven between us that will quite possibly never be fixed. In all...
-
IGN Assemble! #79 - Yogurt Bros
First thing's first: I apologize for missing last week. I rocked my face off too hard for a band I love and was left without a voice, leaving us unable to do a show last week. It's my fault. Blame me. But we're back and in better health, kind of. This week, we talk about some of the latest news...

IGN Assemble! #73 - We Love You, Winnie Cooper
Well, well, well. Erik, unfortunately, couldn't make it to record this episode. I heard he got attacked by Jawas or something (disgusting creatures). Thankfully, all-star comic book reviewer and man about town Benjamin Bailey was able to save the day and step in to heroically co-host this…

IGN Assemble! #70 - WTF Certified, Maybe

more -
IGN Assemble! #59 - Star Wars and Other Stuff
Let's be honest, the only real news that matters this week -- whether you're here to listen to us talk about comics or not -- is the Star Wars news. Luckily for us, that news also has relevance to the comic book world. Still, we're going to excitedly discuss the Disney buyout of Lucasfilm, what…
more -
IGN Assemble! #58 - Marry, Boff, Kill Pt. 2
We're back for another week of talking comics! Not a whole lot of news this week (save for the Iron Man 3 trailer), so we fill in the gaps with another rousing (read: disturbing) game of Marry, Boff, Kill. Also up for discussion: Superman, I, Vampire, Punisher: War Zone, AvX: Consequences, FF,...
