Episode 32, "Previews" of Things to Come 3: Previews, indeed! This week, Sean and Craig not only skim through the June 2008 edition of Previews catalog (in lieu of Trade Ins this week), but also share the good news that their humble little podcast is being picked up by Realms Radio, a division of Realmworx, one of the internet's premiere gaming communities (they run communities like www.hcrealms.com and www.vsrealms.com). But that stuff isn't happening quite yet. What IS happening now, however is a discussion of FIREBREATHER #1, X-FORCE #4, and FINAL CRISIS #1!
