Inspired by a recent article Martin read with a quote from a Fox executive, Martin goes on a rant about why Hollywood should double down on comic books as an inspiration for future ideas instead of bashing on studios that rely on comics for a large source of their revenue The numbers don't lie, comic book movies are a hit. Then, Martin takes some listener questions about sequential art, print vs digital and finding the time to get through reading your pull list.
