Rachelle and Dave are both getting a little tired of Twitter, and "comic book" Twitter in particular. A lot of this frustration is related to the relentless (and misinformed) outrage over Marvel's Secret Empire event, which started in earnest this past week.
Also in this episode: more Black Hammer love, the first trailer for The Last Jedi, announcements from C2E2, and maybe the very last This Week in Winter Soldier (but probably not).
So...a Marvel artist drew some racist messages into an X-Men comic that came out last week. Oh, 2017.
Anyway, he's been fired. We talk about that, and a bit about other incidents where artists decided to make a statement (or a dumb joke). Also in this episode: the latest issue of Captain America: Steve Rogers, the Thor Ragnarok trailer, the latest episode of Riverdale, and Dave is in love with Black Hammer.
Things were said this past week by Marvel executives that were maybe...misguided. Rachelle and Dave are here to talk about what they think the real reasons are for Marvel's decline in sales.
Also in this episode: Riverdale is back and that means it's time to dissect the latest episode, Bucky goes back to WWII in Thunderbolts #11, a new Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer, DC's Hanna-Barbera crossovers, and Aaron Sorkin thinks he can write a superhero movie (he just needs someone to explain to him what a superhero is).
