Episode 7 - Free Comic Book Day

Free Comic Book Day is upon us, and we want to know more about the event.  It's a great way to introduce new readers, try a book you would normally not read, or just celebrate the art form of comic books.  We pay a visit to our local comic shop, Comics on the Green, and get the full scoop on the event and the industry from a retailer point of view.

Episode 8 - I am Iron Man

Iron Man hits theaters and we were there.  Before the movie, however, we stopped by Comics on the Green for Free Comic Book Day, got some free books, some sketches from DC's Tom Derenick, and even a sneak peak at what's to come.  We'll be talking about all of that, get a little history on Iron Man, and then we'll talk all about the movie.  It's a spoiler filled discussion as well, so be warned.  The spoilers start at 21:44, so you know when to get out (or when to FF to).
