On November 18th, the world lost a mainstay in comics podcasting. Eric Martin (aka The Question) passed away in his sleep, suffering a massive heart attack. While we mourn the loss of one of our own, we also celebrate the fingerprints Eric left on podcasting. From Comics Playground to DC Noise and The Trip, and his appearances on Comic Racks, Geek Brunch, and The Geek Savants, Eric was one of the more prolific voices in our community. He will be remembered fondly by his peers, and The Geek Savants are proud to call him friend.
This episode is dedicated to Eric Martin, may he rest in peace.
That said, don’t expect us to be all doom and gloom, and politically correct– this one is chock full of scumdillery. Just like Eric would have wanted.
