Episode 27, "Previews" of Things to Come 2: Sean and Craig are back this month with the best and the worst of Diamond's PREVIEWS catalog. And Craig figured out how to make things echo-y, so beware for flagrant abuse of that feature. Amidst all that Sean and Craig manage to talk about BIRDS OF PREY #117 and THE MIGHTY AVENGERS #12.
