Tommy Texter … sorry … Sam, Dan and Chris helm the console this week. And what a week it was? What show has eight thumbs and also came in second place in the annual Canadian Independent Comics Wiki Awards? Why this show! Check it out in the first issue of Sequential Magazine! Denny O’Neil is coming to the Toronto Comicon and we are super excited. Sam has his question ready on the Silver Age reintroduction of our fav heroine, Black Canary. Speaking of Sam, he finally watched Back to the Future 2 and 3. One of Chris’ favourite film franchises. This, of course, leads to Dan’s burning question of the night, should Sam watch the Cannonball Run sequels.
