This week, Tia and Paul join Mike to talk about… POLITICS IN COMICS. Our approach to this topic, at a basic level, is this: All comics contain some form of politics and it’s very hard to tell any kind of story without them.

This episode was recorded some time in the past!

Kara and Brian came to Mike and said they were inspired to discuss the very well done, Kanan: The Last Padawan volume 1 by Greg Weisman and Pepe Larraz for an episode of the show. Mike was extremely excited and the three of them recorded this episode. Expect spoilers for… a lot of Star Wars comics and movies and TV shows.
