After getting done talking about Pokemon and games on the Switch, it's an all retro comics episode this week! We spun the wheel and got to pick from different eras for a Retro Roulette Special! We did a few of these last year when the Pandemic negated new releases and we figured it was time to do one again because these shows are always pretty fun. This time we checkout 3 different decades of Spider-Man comics from the 80s to the 2000s. We checkout the famous Laughing Fish issue of Detective Comics. We also have a famous fight between the Hulk and the Thing of the Fantastic Four! Plus a ton more.
