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.

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. However, this time there were a bunch of audio and connectivity issues, especially in the first 8 minutes, and we have salvaged the show as best we could. Thanks to our awesome Patrons , we're proud to present another episode of Mediasplode !...
