008: Free Comic Book Day 2017!

Greg Driver — Sun, 14 May 2017 18:15:00 +0100

It was Free Comic Book Day, Greg traveled down to London to hang out with Rahul and Leon. We visited some comic shops to see what kinds of things were going on and took in an awesome art exhibition called The Art Of The Brick: DC Super Heroes. We talk about our day and our favourites from the free comics we snagged! Including I Hate Image, TMNT: Prelude To Dimension X, Lady Mechanika, Betty & Veronica, Bad Machinery, Hostage, 2000AD and the Bongo Comics Free For All.
All this and a bite-sized review of our drunken movie choice from the day Suicide Squad.
