Non-experts (Andy, Kevin, and Phil) talk about comics they are non-experts on and are all kinds of awkward on this road to the momentous episode 500 and find themselves in a 2000 AD mega block.

The Whirlwind tears into Comixology.

More Uniformed discussion about British Comics with equally clueless allusions to Japanese comics. Although Kevin holds back unlike Andy.
