Interview!

• Intro - Make sure you check out our sponsors DCBS! They love us, and that gives us hope. Their website has 40% off of everything.

• Interview - Jeff Webber, the Vice President of digital publishing for IDW chats with us about digital publishing, which he's been doing since before you even knew it was possible. He answers all of our questions, including whether competitive pricing within digital and print comics is something that is needed to protect comic shops, if DRM is needed, and if digital comics are cheaper to produce than print comics.

Thanks to Jeff for stopping by!

Ep. #170 - Mandalorian Cinnamen

• Intro - I'm not even really sure whatever else we talked about, because Star Wars gets brought up so it's all kind of a blur. Our sponsors DCBS are kind, and let us do this kind of thing while mentioning them and their store, where everything is 40% off.


• You Should Read This - Austin chooses The Manhattan Projects: Vol. 1 by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra; David chooses Summit of the Gods by Yumemakura Baku and Jiro Taniguchi.

• The Cinnamen - This week on the segment that is sweeping the nation, we talk about Punisher War Zone. Yes, it is violent. And here I mean our segment. Special guest Caleb Schmreen joins us too!
