First off, yes, last episode was 441. Yes, They are being printed out of order. Yes, that makes us seem like DC Comics’s Archive Editorial team is in charge.Leaving all of that aside, it is the second part of our episode where we hit comic shops in the Twin Cities on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, looking for cheap comics, elusive back issues and to get a general idea of how local comics shops are doing int he year 2019. It seems so long ago now. We fire up the digital recorder, let Joe, Butch and Cory!! tell tales of comics and you get to ride along in the back seat, which is where they always shove Cory!!
