S03 E27: Wes of Thinking Critical On the State of the Comic Book Industry

The North American comic book industry is struggling in sales right now. Long time fans are dismayed because of the things the publishers do to many of the established characters that we love, all for the sake of forwarding an agenda. A few weeks ago, Superman and Robin came out gay, and Nightwing is a socialist.

Thinking Critical is a Youtube channel that talks about comic books, he does reviews and commentaries on the industry and sometimes, pop culture. We talked to Wes, the creator of the Youtube channel.

In this episode, we discussed the titles in his reading list right now, his favorite comic book arc, Jonathan Hickman being M.I.A. in the X-men franchise, the recent trend in the comic book industry where many stories are identity politics propaganda, the truth about the "so-called" all-time high in North American comic book sales, and much more.

WARNING: We will heavily geek out in this episode!
