The Fellowship is pleased to present our round-table discussion of the recent behavior of DC Comics. We invited two local comic shop owners, Gabriel Mendez from Red Pegasus Comics in Dallas and Shado Wiley from Carpe Diem Comics in McKinney. We cover DC's firing of Diamond, how local comic shops have fared during COVID, and a bunch of stuff in between. Plus our usual tangents galore and our comics picks of the week.
