Hello everybody and welcome to the 9th Annual ... nope! Sorry, folks. No Talking Comics Awards ceremony this week. Instead, we're bringing you our first brand-new episode of 2021, wherein we take a look forward at what's to come in comics, film, and television!

Here's the deal, folks. We need more time to prepare for this year's Talking Comics Awards. But rather than leave you in the lurch, Bob, Joey, Aaron, and Steve got together to talk about DC's Future State, early reactions to this year's TC Awards nominees, and what's to come for comics on screens both large and small.

We'll be back next week with our 9th Annual Talking Comics Awards celebration! We promise!
