Fridays are down, man, and we don't know why. Jesse Hedman from Minneapolis stopped by the shop. Marking up open order variant covers. Five Stars loyalty program. The Cap Statue gets dusted in (human) ashes. Black Panther. Deathstroke.

Emails! We're sending lots of emails! Crowd-funding to save stores (not ours). Thank you, Dal's Mom. No Comic Hub. Flashback to 7 years ago. Tilting at Windmills. Hardcover Watchmen. Lady Killer 2 and Animosity reviews. Hurrah!

The upcoming week is a big one for us behind the scenes, as we install a brand new point of sale system, ComicHub. Patrick and Dal each got to experience the store as customers do. Have you heard of Boulet? He's très magnifique. And there is way too much time spent discussing Batman The Killing Joke.

We Want EVERY Award! We Won an International Award but Lost a Local One. An alternative bookstore is NOT a comic shop!! Ebay interactions are ridiculous. Comic-Con International San Diego is happening as we record! Image announces 2 fun-sounding books. And… new action figures are a-coming!

Holy cats are there a ton of new Marvel Comics scheduled for this fall! There are also many more pre-SDCC announcements. So! Many! And we kind of dump all over Civil War II #3.

What is Dal's fascination with Kate McKinnon? It's a cornucopia of pre-San Diego Comic-Con news this week! The Great Lakes Avengers are back!

My least favorite part of every episode is writing this description. Also, this episode's title was supposed to be LAST week's title, but I forgot and just took the name of the song that was playing at the time I posted it.

Patrick is joined by a very special guest and they talk about Brexit, Roman Reigns' suspension, Ikea, a non-Challengers comic shop, the first month of DC Rebirth titles, Civil War II and plenty more.

It's total role-reversal this episode as Patrick chats with David Harper of SKTCHD.com and the Off Panel Podcast.

Lots more Rebirth talk, about this week's Rebirth titles.
