This week Darci brings us back to Manga-World with Memories of Emanon volume one to read and discuss. The Crew get into the interesting and rare in comics story telling device this book uses as well as the spectacular art. Free Comic Book Day, INKR, and Russel Mark Olson giving away volume one of their comic Gateway City in order to promote the Kickstarter for volume 2 are talked about in news.

Speaking of news, this week\'s discussion is about the recent reveal of multiple comics creators will be now releasing their owned work onto the newsletter platform, Substack which has overnight become a major player in the Comic Distribution Industry. What does this mean for the future of comics? How will this affect who gets hired to work with the Big 2 as well as how they compensate their creators going forward? Will this negatively or positively affect tradition independent comic book publishers as well as brick and mortar comic book shops? The Crew discusses these questions and much more during this episode. Also the fourth member of the crew, the giant spider, show has a  very frightening cameo.

Other books discussed: Eat my Flesh, Drink my Blood by Frankee White, Adam Markiewicz, and A.H.G. (Dauntless Stories); Cheer Up: Love and Pompoms by Crystal Fraiser and Val Wise (Oni Press); and Porceilain #1 by Maria Llovett and Saida Temofonte (Ablaze).
