Comic books and facials (get your mind out of the gutter!) Those are the topics the crew covers this week. Cuba and Izzi mad a stop at the local comic shop and picked up a few titles and give their reviews and toughest on it.

Rat Queens        (Trade)
Lady Killer        (#1 & #2)
Spread                (#1 & #2)

Episode 150: The Walking Red (Shirts)

The whole crew is back together for this one. We run a little long but we debate over some great topics. After making fun of Cubas city driving, Cuba and Izzi talk a little about their trip to Philly and how disgusting a Philly Cheese Steak is. We then jump right into it and talk about the announcement of an new all male Ghostbusters movie and the implications it has on the Paul Feig movie. The crew then gets into a heated debate on The Walking Dead and their habit of killing off black guys. Is it bad writing? A running joke? Do they get developed like the white characters? Or is everyone reading too into it? Lastly we cover the issue of Batgirl Joker variant cover and the controversy around that. Buckle in and get some pop corn, your in for a ride!
