This episode was originally intended to be a Patreon exclusive episode, but it's been a while since Cesar joined the show, so here it is for everyone to enjoy!

Cesar and I made a day trip to visit Cosmic Comics' new location, and hopped on the mics afterwards to talk about the comics we picked up (check out pictures of the haul, HERE). We also discussed our shared love of all things Moebius and Heavy Metal, Kickstarter campaigns, the art of Marvel Rivals and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, and Cesar talks about comic collecting as a new dad
