Okay, well maybe we're exaggerating a little with those cliched comic book sayings. It's still Dan and the Duke, but it's a brand new year and we have a lot to talk about. We've been gone for three weeks, but the comic book industry stops for no one. We talk about the recent New 52 cancellations/replacements, Rob "I Have More Lives Than a Cat" Liefeld's New 52 assignments, Walt Simonson on Avengers, Gene Ha on Justice League, DC Comics' new logo and, of course, we manage to squeeze in a few reviews.
We've also issued one challenge to ourselves: to interview Rob Liefeld. Love him or hate him, Rob is one of the most well known personalities in comics and has had an incredible (and some might say, infamous) career.
