The Pull List 42 | Good, Old Fashion Comics!

SHOW NOTES

DC Fandome Part 2 rolls on with a more specific comic focus, but appears to underwhelm. Good thing there are a ton of new comics for Chris and Hector to sort through and share their thoughts on! This week we’re all about the comics, maybe even a little more so than usual.
