Darkness visited the Whiff-Inn a few weeks back, as one of the UK's most infamous hardcore wrestlers Jimmy Havoc visited the boys to tell them what the official Top 5 batman graphic novels of all time are....and they weren't about to disagree. Actually, as it turns out Jimmy is one of the nicest dudes we'd ever had the pleasure of chatting to. Chris couldn't wait to get stuck into Jimmy choices as the pair of them both are big fans of comics, and Stu, well Stu tried his best to keep up! Hosted on Acast.
