We're serving up an OTR sandwich on digression rye this month, squeezing our trio of narrow-focus reviews between two generous slices of off-topic comic talk! First, we reminisce about the very geeky wedding of our recently married friends (and occasional CGS co-hosts) Dani and Bill. Then, it's Off the Racks as usual, featuring Sensation Comics #1 and Multiversity #1 from DC and SIP Kids from Terry Moore's Abstract Studio. We top it all off with our reactions to the premiere of 'Gotham'! (1:39:45)

He's a scientist, a sorcerer, a diplomat, a despot, a cold-blooded killer, a would-be world conqueror, a devoted son, an implacable enemy--a tortured soul. He's the most magnificently megalomaniacal menace mentioned in the Malleus Maleficarum of Mighty Marvel, and this episode is HIS! As a supplement to our ongoing series of Spotlights on the Fantastic Four, we present this character profile and suggested reading list devoted to the greatest Marvel Comics villain of them all: DOCTOR DOOM!

...And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Jamie D.'s Mightiest Acquaintances found themselves united against a common threat: the disease that took Jamie's life. On that day were JAMIE'S AVENGERS born, to take part in a 5K/10K footrace to raise funds for the Livestrong Foundation in Jamie's memory. These are the audio chronicles of Jamie's Avengers, recorded shortly before and after the group's epic race for cancer relief. Excelsior! (47:20)

This month's roster of Off the Racks reviews encompasses espionage action (Grayson #1 from DC), outer-space funny-animal thrills (Rocket Raccoon #1 from Marvel), and dawn-of-man comedy-drama (Tuki: Save the Humans #1 from Jeff Smith's Cartoon Books).
