This episode does not contain an interview with Aubrey Sitterson and Chris Moreno from The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling, and we tell you the unfortunate reason why.
Hopefully, the end of the continuing story of Challengers and our alarm company.
Paperwork and bureaucracy!
Ace Comic Con Chicago is happening. Great for celebrity photo ops! No so much for, you know, comics.
Jook Joint #1 is pretty brutal, but certainly worth the read.
It’s pretty ballsy of Marvel to pay tribute to Ghost Rider creator Gary Friedrich.

Good news-- we did not get broken into this week! So that makes 1 week in a row!
The continuing story of Challengers and our (for now) alarm company. Add that to our wonky A/C bent front door and we have 3 too many maintenance issues at the moment.
More security measures will be put into place.
The New York Comic Con was going on as we recorded this, so we talk about some of the announcements that had been made.
And then… things take a slightly dark turn as we’re not really excited by the slate of announcements. And by ‘not really excited’ we mean pretty much straight up angry.

Dark Matter has a new retail coffee shop right across the street from Challengers.
We got broken into and robbed… again.
We loved Heroes in Crisis #1 and don’t understand people that are so anti-Tom King.
Dal is looking forward to Gran Morrison’s Green Lantern. Patrick, not so much.
More love for Man-Eaters #1, now that it’s actually on sale!
Doctor Strange has been really good and just had a neat twist.
Batman Damned is now quarterly and #1 is not being reprinted at this time. We hope that decision changes…

It’s almost time for our health insurance plans to be cancelled!
An unexpected surprise from our gas company.
If you complain that comics cost too much, maybe reevaluate your buying choices.
What if a creator you love did something you have a serious moral objection to?
And yes, there is a comic that shows Bruce Wayne’s penis. If you want it for that reason alone, just own up to it.

The new DC Universe streaming service started today. Did we subscribe? If we did, did it work?
The full Batman Day 2018 rundown, and comparisons to past events. Also, looking to 2019 and Batman 80th Anniversary. Also, Patrick cannot count… or add.
Batman Damned #1 comes out next week and it’s already sold out.
Marvel stealth-cancelled the brand new Vision mini-series before we could even turn in our orders for #1.
Something smells bad in comics retail…
And maybe we do know what we’re doing after all.
