How We Fell Back in Love With Comics (Ultimates, Invincible, and Reading Everything the Wrong Way)
We’re talking comic books, real books, digital reading, and how we actually consume stories in 2025.
From diving deep into Marvel Unlimited to cracking open physical comics from Epic Panels, we break down what’s working, what’s frustrating, and why reading order matters more than people admit. The conversation jumps from the Ultimates line and Ultimate Wolverine to Invincible’s Battle Beast, Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell, and why some comics are just not made for casual reading.
