A shockingly light week of new comics leads to a lot of in-depth discussion about things that may or may not have to do with any specific books and yet are still comic book related. Except for the tangent that kicks off the show. Look, we had to fill the hour somehow. Note: Time codes are subject to change depending on dynamic ad insertion by the distributor. Running Time: 01:0x:xx Pick of the Wee...

Conor is presumably leaving the life of a born seaman, and our great pal, Jim Viscardi steps in to admirably fill up his air time. And as always, he brings inescapable Moon Knight discussion. There are ups and downs and surprises, and great art everywhere. In the comics. It seemed like we might save time talking about less books, but alas there was still so much to discuss. Note: Time codes are su...

If you made this show, you'd think the following things after it was recorded: 1) You probably shared too much. Again. 2) You really want to let the people who made the good comics know they're doing great. 3) You should probably send an apology to the people who made the bad comics, because that was ruthless.

NOTE: Due to scheduling issues we had to record this episode during the monthly Patron Hangout and in the past we have successfully recorded shows this way.
