It’s not a medical droid Sony is leaking all over the place and the most interesting news to Nick and Brock, with regards to this comic book podcast, was the conversation between Marvel and Sony about bringing Spiderman back into the Marvel movie universe.

No major publisher is printing as many new concepts and interesting stories these days. Nick and Brock sometimes have trouble finding non-Image books to review for this comic book podcast.
