Listen Later

This episode (Ep.435) was recorded at Gotham City Limit comic shop with Ben Kingsbury (the owner!). Ben and Badr chop it up about their predictions for SDCC 2024, and discuss Marvel's big events (Blood Hunt & The Ultimate Universe) vs DC's big events (Absolute Universe & All-In initiative). They also talk about what it takes to run a successful comic shop, the oversaturation of variant covers in the market, and lessons learned from being a shop owner. Ben also shares his favorite comics of the year, sleeper titles of 2024, and what new comics coming out later this year that he's most excited about. There's A LOT of recommendations being shared in this episode, so have a notepad ready — It's a good one!
