Hey folks,

With the change in format for the podcast and for the sake of simplicity, we've gone ahead and moved the main page for "4 Color Commentary" over to blogger. This'll not only make my life easier whenever I have to post a new episode, but also makes it easier to keep track of what's what.

Those who download the podcast through a podcatcher or via the iTunes Music Store, please note that there are no changes or modifications you have to make. The RSS feed for mp3s of the podcast has not changed!

Thanks for your support everyone, and feel free to give us feedback.

Oh, and check out the next post down for our BRAND-SPANKING NEW EDITION of 4 Color Commentary!

4 Color Commentary is back with a new format and their sound's laid down by the underground. In this episode, we discuss the major crossover events for the Big Two companies, "Secret Invasion" and "Final Crisis." We critique the stories so far, have an in-depth discussion of the effects they've been having on both companies, what's being done right and wrong in terms of the respective stories, effects on tie-in books and how they've been, and much more.
