10 Ton Pod

This Chapter deals with the ongoing question that is on everybody's mind, "What is a Comic Convention?"
We talk about what conventions are, how the fellas got into them, and what they mean to fans and exhibitors alike. Did you know that Colin Kaepernick is getting into comics using AI? And, that Wondercon in Anaheim used to be in Oakland?
I didn't either. Give it a listen to find out more.

Three dudes talk about cool shit in regards to art, comics, movies, pop culture, and a menagerie of other goodies. We will sing our praises of what we love, and might touch on a few things that left us feeling a little meh.
