Savage FINcast – Episode 20: How to Get Ahead in Life

Episode20version1

Like a leafed through and dogeared comic book in a flea market bargain bin, the latest episode of the Savage FINcast arrives just in time for its cover to fall off. Or something…We’re bad at analogies. Sorry. This episode Craig, Jim, and Raven tackle SAVAGE DRAGON #188 in which the Claw finally makes his move for world domination and characters die in the brutal fashion you’ve come to expect as a Savage Dragon fan!  After that, the FINcasters hop in their time machine for a retro review of SAVAGE DRAGON #148, the introduction of Daredevil as a regular character and his pals, the Little Wise Guys. As with every episode, we also run through the latest Erik Larsen-related news and continue our  “Erik Larsen Trivia” segment, where we read your responses to last month’s trivia question and try to stump you with new one!

As always, we would love to hear from you!  Drop us a line at SAVAGEFINCAST (at) GMAIL (dot) COM to answer our trivia question, comment about the show, or suggest future discussion ideas. We will most likely read your letter on the next show!
