This week Comic Culture hosts Chris Owen and Walter Durajlija talk the comic book talk. This week the boys discussed Free Comic Book Day, The Disney Fox merger and some cool comic book pages from years past.
So sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s Comic Culture.
Oh, and please, please make sure you go out and support your local comic book shop.
Comic Culture is written by Walter Durajlija and engineered by Chris Owen.
