I haven't quite listened to these two from the start, took me about a year to find them. But as I've said, this ridiculous Star Trek podcast has been the thing I've listened to in my studio by far the most. I'm into my 3rd run thru of all their eps, just finishing DS9 season 5.

Hey comics nerds. I want to get some comics appropriate for my 6yo grandsons for when they come over. I don't want any toy tie in nonsense.
I haven't read a comic in 45 years so no idea what's out there.

I've said this many times. Art is the process, a struggle undertaken by humans, not the end result and it's why AI can never create art (that and it's a planet killing theft machine)
