If geek is the new sexy, we're bringing geek back!
Brian & David cover a lot of ground in this Issue, talking about everything from anticipated 2018 comic book movies to dollars vs. awards to creators charging to sign your comics.
Also, what are your 'bucket list comics'? Peter or Miles? Michael Keaton or Christian Bale? An Edward Norton Riddler & the Wolverine of Spades? Will SyFy's 'Krypton be any good?
Indie Comics Spotlight:
The guys delve into longtime indie publisher, Dark Horse Comics! They talk current success, history, creator owned & licensed comics, comics to screen, and generally excellent comic books. Born in 1986, Mike Richardson created the template for the success of a non-Big 2 independent comics company. (You're welcome, Image!)
