A Pal-erful Look At The World Of Comics!

This week, the gang gets together to experiment with AI (and make fun of it), before diving into the usual comic book reviews. With their trademark humor and insight, we dissect last week's releases, offering up our latest opinions on everything from the latest superhero epic to the newest indie darling. Along the way, we also call up Will, who is sure to provide some entertaining banter and maybe even a surprise or two! Whether you're a die-hard fan of the comic book medium or just looking for some lively conversation, this episode is a great place to jump in and deliver the laughs and enjoyment you crave.

Also, prepare yourself for some startling revelations from Roman...
