About this episode

The episode discusses the connections between Daniel Clowes' work and Marvel's 'What If?' series while exploring the video game 'Primal Roar'.

Episode Notes I have a hard time believing that Daniel Clowes would want his "comix" confused with Marvel's "What If?" series featuring the X-Men. And yet, that's what we are presupposing in this week's Battle Of The Atom. Are we the smartest podcast out there? No. But we are the best place to learn about the video game series Primal Roar. A video game I think Daniel Clowes would like.
