Thanks to iFanboy Patrons, it's Talksplode time. And this makes us even. After wrapping 12 issues of both Rorschach and Strange Adventures, it was only natural that Tom King and Josh get together and talk about them, among other things, like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It's a long rambling conversation, which is just how we like it.Follow Tom on Twitter!Total Running Time: 01:45:49Music:“Strange"Wire Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
