Pens & Pixels Popcast

No episode this week! For the first time ever, technical hiccups have brought the Popcast screeching to a halt. Honestly, 137 episodes into this thing, that’s not too bad. Let’s just call this our first ever Summer break.

Sorry about that, but we'll be back next week, re-energized and ready to talk about the art and news of video games, comics and movies.
