Big news this week, as friend and former guest of the show, Kyle Starks, gets a plumb gig at DC writing a John Cena (kinda) comic! What we read last week where we find out what Reed did in Fantastic Four and we harken back to the far flung days of the New 52 with Swamp Thing Green Hell. What we’re looking forward to this week, we continue our re-read of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, wrapping up the Doll’s House story arc and our spoiler filled discussion of Ant Man & the Wasp: Quantumania! And more!

Sean Philips is carving out his own corner of the DCU, so much so, he’s licensing the in continuity inspiration for Batman! Spider-Man is teasing yet another anniversary with yet another status quo changing story. Plus, are we, YET AGAIN, inspiring DC’s latest premium collection? We get into pricing at your local con, we review Batman #132, we cover what we’re looking forward to coming out this week, we make plans for this weekend’s Ant-Man 3 and our continued look back at Neil Gaiman’s Sandman where we look at Joe’s favorite single issue and one of Todd’s top five.
