This week, Mike is joined by Nick and Brian to discuss a “different” kind of comic: Webcomics & Webtoons. What works in this medium? What doesn’t? And for this episode, Nick dove in as a non-reader tried a whole lot of webcomics and has some thoughts on them, to say the least.

Our show this week is an odd one as we had a strange technical glitch half-way through. For the first half, Brian and Kate join Mike to talk about their comic picks and books they’ve been reading. For the second half of the show, Tia and René have an in-depth discussion about the villians of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s an odd format, but it’s exciting!
