It's a Halloween miracle! Rejoin The Off-Panelists in this special holiday edition of The Off-Panel Podcast, the glorious RETURN of the comic book show where the tensions are high and the ink is fresh! Present are the ghoulish fab five themselves, including The Seductive Skirt (Merce Mueller), The Sociopathic Southerner (Matt Johnson), The Serial Killer Scotsman (John Lees), The Supernatural Sphinx (Wiegeabo Kilijabob), and the very late addition of The Superhuman Sloth (Alex Koch), all reunited to face a common threat against their very beings - staying on topic long enough to talk about comics! It's a treat of tricks and twists and turns, with highlights that include THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE, and WYTCHES, the new series from Scott Snyder (American Vampire) and Jock (Detective Comics)! When it comes to the unholy union of these five geeks, Halloween has never been this horrifying.

In which the Off-Panelists lead them in easy and get picked off one-by-one, returning after a week away only to discover that their lives have remained pretty uneventful. Unless you count heart-stopping foot races to the local train station, hypothetical suicide attempts gone hilariously wrong, and being framed for murder, that is! Join the Sloth, the Southerner, and the Scotsman as they ceremoniously pop The Standard's Comixology cherry before giving their takes on the recently announced Agent Carter television series, CW's casting of The Flash in Arrow, and more! Featured in this week's episode are reviews of the Villain's Month tie-in issue for Swamp Thing, Image Comics' latest debut from writer Ales Kot in Zero, the start of a brand new arc within the pages of Thor: God of Thunder, a potentially controversial issue of Mark Waid's Daredevil, and a review of the first trade of Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Gray, among others. Remember to say uncle.

In which The Off-Panelists experience pain of a whole new measure as two of the three in attendence tell tales of woe, from the sleep-deprived to a vicious pain that oddly makes for a more interesting tale than usual. Using the podcast to recover, join The Sloth, the Scotsman, and the Spaniard as they go about recounting the aquatic tales of this month's Aquaman, wrap their heads around an unexpected return in Fairest, discover more about how a Marvel baddie got the 'mad' in 'mad titan' in Thanos Rising, mull over The Movement, and give Swamp Thing and Animal Man status updates. Following a brief one-man bout of the Lightning Round, they also discover what it takes to get on DC's bad side, an itty-bitty new book from the Tiny Titans creative team, the end of X-Factor, and the most important question ever asked by listeners... why the *hell* should anyone care about Aquaman?

In which there were... two?! That's right, in a first for The Off-Panel Podcast, only two Panelists are on this week, and the hijinks ensue in ways you'd never believe. Join the Scotsman and the Sloth as they examine the week's books while forgetting their absent co-hosts' names, including the surprising Swamp Thing #14, the equally as surprising Animal Man #14, the Marvel Now relaunch of Iron Man #1 and the redundancy of Iron Man stories, the penultimate issue of Sweet Tooth, and an unforgettable Manhattan Projects that features a sheep, a horse, and sex. In some ways, it's not what you think. In other ways, it's exactly what you think. Plus, a new target of Rob Liefeld's insanity and the most epic tirade of vicious insults ever documented!
