Welcome to the 1st edition of Force Bonding Follow-Up, where I'll cover breaking news that we didn't get to cover on the main Force Bonding show. This one is a serious one as I discuss the ramifications of Chuck Wendig's (Author: Aftermath trilogy & Shader of Vader comic) firing by Marvel Comics, and why this is unacceptable and disgusting. The nerd community needs to spread LOVE, not HATE.
