Comic Shoot is a new videocast/podcast that will be a mix of pre-recorded discussions as well as live shows that will dive into the topics you don't normally see discussed on sites.

This is tough questions. Tough discussions. And no holds barred. We already have invites out and a list of topics to discuss but we want to hear from you! Who do you want to see on the show? What topics do you want to see tackled? What questions do you want us to answer in our first live show? Drop all of that anonymously at the link below, we promise to answer every question asked for the first show, no matter how tough they are.

    Comic Shoot Episode 3: Paramount's Warner Bros. Takeover and the Mystery of the Finances

    Note: This episode was recorded before the events of Thursday's court hearing which delayed the approval of the settlement between Paramount at AGs. What does a war in Iran, the Saudi Government, Ari Emanuel, Jared Kushner, AI data centers, UFC and WWE, all have to do with the takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance? How will this $111 billion craziness be paid for? Will the deal be sunk due to the ailing finances of Saudi Arabia and Oracle? Is there anything WME doesn't have its hands in? Find out in this new episode of Comic Shoot! as we connect the dots and lift the current on the weaving connections. It's not a conspiracy if it's fact! You can listen to our first discussion about the Paramount/Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition here. You can read more about Paramount's attempt to purchase Warner Bros. here. Joining us is Nate Wilcox who founded the legendary MMA web site Bloody Elbow in 2007 and sold it in 2024. He was the first UFC reporter to focus on Ari Emanuel and the ownership team rather than Dana White and the public facade. He blogs as Nat Wilson Turner for Nakedcapitalism.com and IanWelsh.net on politics, propaganda, and media and tech business news. You can also find his current coverage of the MMA space at The MMA Draw. Nate has been regularly following the money and its connection to politics that will determine our future!

Find out in this new episode of Comic Shoot as well as its possble impact on DC Comics, Milestone Media, Wonder Comics, DC Entertainment, and DC Studio! Joining us is Nate Wilcox who founded the legendary MMA web site Bloody Elbow in 2007 and sold it in 2024. He was the first UFC reporter to focus on Ari Emanuel and the ownership team rather than Dana White and the public facade.

Notes/Corrections: Around the 40 minute mark Nate states Ari Emanuel gave MBS $400 BILLION back but it should be MILLION. Around the 50 minute mark, "the law of Iran and Israel" is "the law of Iran and the US." At 1:16 Larry Ellison is called a naif, should have said David

    Comic Shoot: The one with Brian Hibbs talking Diamond's Implosion and the changing Retail Landscape

    One the biggest, maybe the biggest, story of 2025 was the implosion of comic distributor Diamond and its affiliate companies. Declaring chapter 11 in January 2025, the company ended the year by moving into chapter 7. We've covered the story closely but it felt appropriate to kick off Comic Shoot not by diving into details about the year long drama, but instead the impact of Diamond's chapter 11/chapter 7 on comic retailers. Joining us as our first guest is Brian Hibbs the founder of San Francisco's Comix Experience. Brian opened Comix Experience at the ridiculously young age of 21, on April Fool's Day, 1989. Closing in on 4 decades of retail experience, having been through so many changes in the industry, it felt like he was the perfect choice as our first guest. Listen to the episode to hear what Brian has to say not just about Diamond's implosion, but the rise of new distributors like Lunar and Universal, as well as Free Comic Book Day/Comic Giveaway Day! Go support Comix Experience by joining their Graphic Novel Club and the Graphic Novel Club for Kids! Make sure to stop by and support them when in San Francisco. You can also follow Comix Experience on Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram.
