This week’s episode was recorded sometime in the past…!

Mike and Kara focus on Archie Comics again… but there’s so much more than just Archie and the gang! Resident Archie-expert Kara gives Mike a lot (maybe too much?) food for thought on what ELSE exists in the Archie universe! Plus, find out the origins of some of the crazy little references in the Riverdale TV series.

This episode was recorded on October 1st, 2017.

This week, Kara and Rene join Mike to discuss comics and underwear, but really: What it means to be that comic book friend among your group of peers. How do you recommend comics to folks who you know won’t read them? And what do you do to share your interest without being overbearing?

This episode was recorded on September 24th, 2017.

Mike is joined by Paul and Brian to discuss our Goodreads Book of the Month: Fatale Volume 1 by Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, and Dave Stewart. We discover Paul may have worked at a record shop with a fight club in the basement and that Fatale is a pretty solid mix of noir, creepy, and wonderful colors.
