057 - Festivus in June

from Shortbox Summary · host George Loftus

It's a little early in the year, but with this unseasonable heat and humidity it's the right time to air some grievances, especially about comics. I try so hard to stay positive about comics, and I think we all did that today. But I am beyond frustrated with the business side of Marvel and I invited some friends on to let me get something off my chest. I also give them the opportunity to tell me if I'm right or if I'm entitled. Huge thanks to the Last Comic Shop Podcast boys, always a pleasure to talk comics with you!
