Further down, I'll list all my podcasts like I normally do, but next month (May), things are going to be a little different.

I've been asked to join a great yearly cross over... JLMay.  Every year a bunch of podcasters join together and talk about some Justice League America stories....  This year, they're looking at Blackest Night.  And I'm joining them.

So next month (May), my schedule is going to be a little off.

First Tuesday, we will see Task Force X and Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour.
On Task Force X, we'll look at Suicide Squad 67 and Secret Six 17 & 18.  That same week, on Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour, we'll look at Starman 81 (and not the Will Payton one either).

Then on the second Tuesday, Head Speaks will come out and we'll look at Blackest Night issue 4.

Then the third Tuesday, G.I Joe: A Real American Headcast episode 26 will look at the first part of the Snake-Eyes origin.

Finally, the fourth Tuesday, Bravo Team will be released... this episode is entitled "VS".

Then June we're back on our normal schedule (at this point).

As usual, The Headcast Network is where you can find all of my podcasts under one feed.

Over on The Starman/Manhunter Adventure Hour, where I'll be talking about the Will Payton Starman and Mark Shaw Manhunter comics.

Then, look for Head Speaks,where I'm nearing the end of my multi-episode look at Armageddon 2001 where I have guests from the internet and podcasting world join me every episode.

Thanks to everyone that liked the Facebook page and commented.

Be sure to check the Facebook page for news and updates on the Suicide Squad movie.  That's where I tend to post information as it comes to light.

Thank you for listening.

Also be sure to join us this at Head Speaks for our 1 year anniversary episode.


Then next month come back and listen as Task Force X celebrates 1 year of Headcasting with our 12th episode, with a very special, irresponsible, irrational, and irredeemable guest host!

Thanks for listening and be sure to tell people about us.  Also write in and let me know what you think of this episode!

All characters are owned and copyrighted by DC Comics.  Check out DC Comics for the monthly adventures of the New Suicide Squad.

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please e-mail me at TaskForceX@HeadSpeaks.com (and you too can be read in Listener Feedback).

If you want you can also send us an MP3 file with your thoughts and I'll play them on the air.

Look for us on Facebook and Google+ (look for Task Force X).

Make sure to tell a friend and check back next month for another great episode of TASK FORCE X!
