With Marvel and DC sales in the toilet, shops closing, and constant internet drama around creators and fans, is comics as we've known it even WORTH saving? We talk about Marvel's Ultimate line, DC's upcoming Scott Snyder line, the success of the Energon Universe, X-Men '97, and more.

Spielberg is reportedly working on a new movie about UFOs, so this week, we're discussing the rumors that Close Encounters of the Third Kind was based on actual events.

X-Men '97 drops on Disney+ today, and we're talking with one of the X-Men comic book artists from the 1990s era of X-Men, Art Thibert. We talk about X-Men in the '90s, the original animated series, the impact it had on pop culture back then, and what it was like working on those books during the peak of the franchise's popularity. Maybe we'll even share some thoughts on the current state of the X-Men comics from Marvel Comics and the comic book industry in general. Nuff said.
