This week on the VF Comics Podcast we have a lot of news! First, Bad Idea is closing its doors...or so they say. Is this a brilliant or hilariously stupid marketing strategy. Next we talk about the Origins of Comic-Con in an upcoming podcast, then share news of a local boy publishing comic that deals with the experiences he has with CLOVES syndrome. After that we will talk about the mega hit you may not be reading, Something is Killing the Children, followed by a review of what we read this month that we are in love with.

As always, find us on facebook and instagram for links and discussion. Make sure to also leave a review on your favorite podcasting application. Listen up nerds and future nerds, it's time for the VF Comics Podcast.
