Episode 99 - Murdock and Marvel: 2025

In a year so recent that we don’t even have Eisners for it yet, comics continued to thrive and movie ticket sales continued to dive.  It was a great time to be a comic retailer, but a very bad year if you happen to be a political cartoonist.  Lets talk about the year that was 2025.

Episode 98 - Murdock and Marvel: 2024

Can comics survive without big-screen movies to prop them up?  Yes, it appears they can.  It was another great year for comics in stores, even as the pop-culture phenomenon of the MCU seems to have largely died.

Episode 97 - Murdock and Marvel: 2023

The pandemic book that brought comics to their highest sales figures ever finally ended, and sales dropped about 7% from 2022’s all-time high. Even so, both sales and quality made this another fantastic year for American comics.  The movies…well that is something else…

    As the Covid-19 pandemic entered its second year comics continued to charge forward, with the unchallenged biggest year in the history of the medium (so far!) in 2021.  Great books and a public desperate to be entertained combined to make this a great year to be a comic retailer…or a comic fan!

    In case you don’t remember, 2020 pretty much sucked.  Comics did not escape the vortex of Covid-19 and its associated disruptions and dangers, but the industry actually weathered the first year of the pandemic better than one might expect.

    2015 was a turning point for the American comic industry in a number of ways, and seems to be a satisfying place to wrap up our look at over 50 years of American comic books.  This year is in many ways a fulcrum that links the insular comics world that I grew up in with the fast-moving media-entwined and politically-charged environment of recent times.

      Betrayal Season 5

      Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
