   Quest for Quasar #19 with Jason from The Avenging Hour!

   Jason pops by to talk about one of his favorite Marvel heroes, Jack of Hearts, who is here with Dr. Strange, the Squadron Supreme, Makkari, and the regular Quasar supporting cast. All that in one comic? If anyone can do it, it's Mark Gruenwald! Episode art by Phillip Sevy! Please be aware this episode was recorded before the loss of Jason's friend and co-host, John, who we miss very much.
