It’s an abbreviated (and late!) show while Shola gets set up in his new place. However, special guest Arturo Garcia (hour42.com) discusses the woes of race in comics, Shola and Jon chat up more LOST theories as we lament the history of PopCultureShock, and what might’ve been. Kayode’s Kountdown introduces hip-hop fans to Educated Consumers.

Intro: LOST babbling. Is Jacob really Hurley? What’s all the talk of Lists and Candidates?

Special Guest Arturo Garcia chops it up about race in comics while discussing the DC Entertainment diversifying possibilities under the new reign of Didio, Johns, and Jim Lee.
