But there’s tons of news this week, like JSA is late (again), George Perez gets honored by the Smithsonian, new books from some of our favorite creators, the high cost of NYCC and the passing of a comics YouTube megastar. Beckie takes a detour on My Walk Down Lois Lane to introduce us to the creator of Mopsy and Flapper Fanny. A light What We Read Last Week as the Jason Aaron era of Ninja Turtles begins and we talk their nearly 40 year staying power, What We’re Looking Forward to This Week, Todd & Joe Have Issue re-read of Gail Simone’s Secret Six wraps out first story arc and solidifies the bond between our principals, the first two episodes of Star Wars Acolyte, the latest episode of Doctor Who with a slight digression to holographic heads and so much more!
