It’s a special episode about Star Wars #1, so of course, Joe and Cory talk about gluten. They also answer a letter from a listened who is asking about comics in libraries. Lots of stuff on what a library should do to bring in people using super-heroes and comic books as a draw,

Get it? Comics? Draw?

Never mind.

They also discuss:

• Star Wars #1 is out! How was it?
• How should shops deal with the endless variants?
• How are the different variants selling on eBay?
• What are retailers saying?
• Was the Extended Universe new reader friendly?
• How long did Joe and Cory read the original Marvel Star Wars
• Star Wars at Marvel the first time
• A new feature: Oh My God, The 90’s
• Freaking and Geeking

All of this, the usual shenanigans and much, much more!
