Today on Book Report, the gang continue their Preacher Book Club with issues 41-50, “Salvation.” Warning, massive Preacher spoilers inside.

Today, the gang talk about hyperbole in the comics industry. More specifically, Dark Horse’s upcoming Bang! from Matt Kindt, Wilfredo Torres, Nayoung Kim and Nate Piekos is touted as “one of the most eagerly anticipated comic debuts of 2020.” But every upcoming title seems to be “highly anticipated” these days, so does this marketing technique work? Who determines what’s anticipated? Has anyone asked about this title specifically in store? Tune in for the giggle-fest that is our punchy third episode.
