Is crowdfunding the hero the comic scene needs? In Dec 2024 Diamond, the sole distributor of comics to most comic shops around the country, closed a distribution center leading to delays, damaged books, and retailer struggles. In mid Jan 2025, Diamond filed for bankruptcy. The industry as a whole is about to change. One place that is expected to see a huge growth is crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter. Already we have seen mid-level publishers like Antarctic Press and Dynamite launching campaigns to get their books directly to consumers. In this show we will discuss how indie creators are going to need to adapt to having higher level competition in the crowdfunding market. Destiny will choose 3 indie comic campaigns for us to review. After offering tips we will choose ONE to back and support. Stay to the end to see who will be chosen in the Comic Book Showdown of Ultimate Destiny because in the end...There can Be only ONE!

This week Smurf has a few thoughts on shows and movies that kept him entertained during the super cold day's of the past couple weeks. One in particular that sent him down the binging hole was From as many questions were asked, theories formed, and characters killed off. Netflix might be losing its touch with Documentaries since the Jerry Springer on leaves a lot to be desired, Dates for the next season of Reacher and Clarkson's Farm, and a Daredevil trail that's beautiful. Wolf Man is in theaters now and might be more than the fans are looking for, Watson has a mediocre premiered on CBS and leaves a very large but obvious plot hole as they try to separate from Holms. Smurfs Take this week focuses on the new Paramount+  Star Trek Movie Section 31 and it's not what he expected.
