Leave a comment

One last Comic Timing before the New Year hits! We begin with Brandon, Brent, Donovan, Kris, Raph and Ian going through the minutia of James Gunn taking over as CEO and head of DC Studios, and then transition to spoilery thoughts on Black Adam. Then, Jamal Igle joins the frey for a thoughtful and deep discussion on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and how both the film and franchise matter to the black community. Finally, the group give some of their choices for their favorite reads of 2022. And plenty of random deviations along the way, of course. Three plus hours of content, baby!
