posted by Joe
A big DC week in the news as the are bringing back special order slip cases, Tom Taylor gets the big team book and…oh yeah…maybe some stuff about the DC Cinematic Universe from Jimmy Pistol himself. We talk, spoiler free of course, about Human Target #11 and Saga #61 from last week. Plus, what we’re looking forward to this week, Todd and Joe Have Issues covering the FULL run of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, talking about issues 9 and 10 this week, another one off to fill in the gaps from issue 4 and the start of a new story arc, the Doll’s House. And more!

We influence the news (through our Patreon) as DC brings back how they used to collect their books, the GLAAD Comic Award nominations and how it could change future awards and a new cover gimmick…err…opportunity never seen before! We also talk about Nightwing #100 and christen Bruno Redondo the definitive hug artist. Plus, what we’re looking forward to this week, Todd and Joe Have Issues covering the FULL run of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, talking about issues 7 and 8 this week, as our first story arc ends and a standalone issue, perhaps, the best standalone issue of all time!
