So, Captain America said two words last week and nothing happened, right? No, of course people over-reacted and we talk about past stories that remained in tact since the 15-20 years since they were told. Also, Marvel has some weird marketing strategies and we try to figure them out to no avail (spoilers). And after an extended convention weekend review (there’s tons of them) we talk about what we read last week, what we’re looking forward to this week, talk about the season two finale of the Flash and a brief discussion about X-Men: Apocalypse.
