Show Notes
Top Cow superfan, Robb returns to talk about a weird period of Top Cow history where Silvestri and crew really had nothing new to promote besides, Inferno: Hellbound, but Wizard put a magazine together anyway. Tomb Raider, Universe by Paul Jenkins and several projects that were delayed or never saw the light of day get the spotlight. Meanwhile stalwarts like Witchblade, The Darkness and Michael Turner's Fathom take a back seat. It's an interesting experiment in comic book hype, so listen now!
