There are some really oddball characters in comics. And sometimes they inexplicably make it into the mainstream.

Hey Kids, Comics! #350 - A Little Bit of History Repeating Itself
Sunday Oct 11, 2020
Sunday Oct 11, 2020
Way back in 1995 Marvel Comics did the unthinkable - unless you were Marvel Comics in the 90s - they went into self-distribution as Heroes World. This was part of their vaunted, and soon failed, Marvelution. (Read all about that here.) Now DC Comics has found an excuse to do something similar, likely crippling an industry that has been hobbling along since Marvelution. Once quite capable of seeing the writing on the wall, the new corporate masters of the home of Superman have both done the unthinkable and given your hosts Andrew Farmer and Cole Houston plenty to talk about on this (now rather dated) issue of the show.
