We have a new guest this week and her name is Dana! With both a mix of similar and differing views she is a welcome mix this week as we end up discussing a range of topics--some recent theatrical releases, some storied franchises, and some sad celebrity deaths, we've lots to get into.  

It all leads to the main topic of comics, and for Dana and Andrea, more specifically, Webtoons. Dana has been in the Webtoon space for some time now and we find out how she got interested, what she's been reading, and where it's brought her. Andrea and John of course chime in and we go through our favorite series'/books of 2022.
