Check out the newest AroundComics.com podcast in which Midnight Sun gets some positive shout-outs from a call-in reader as well as the hosts!  It’s toward the end of the show–around 57 minutes in–but, if you skip to that, you’ll miss some lively debate about what TMNT characters used what weapons, not to mention some kind words about the great runaway hit comics series Mouse Guard.
