Who or What is Responsible for Destroying the Western Comic Book Industry!? Welcome to this week's episode of CultureScape, where we will delve into the self-inflicted implosion of the comic book industry. In this episode, we will be speaking with one Justin World, a comic book artist and YouTube host of the Channel  @DrawandTalk  about how he got hounded and removed from his publisher for meekly criticizing # ComicsBrokeMe. But what led to the downfall of the comic book industry? How did a once-thriving industry become so broken? We'll be tackling these questions head-on, and discussing the various factors that contributed to the decline of the industry. Justin will share his insights on the current state of the comic book industry, and how it has impacted the world of comics, manga, and graphic novels. From the Marvel Cinematic Universe to DC Comics' Secret Invasion, we will explore how the industry has evolved over the years.

Why does the MCU now suck? We explore. Hint: It's not the Skrulls & it's not superhero fatigue. Welcome to CultureScape, the show that interviews the geek creators and influencers that built nerd culture. Today we have a special guest: Justin Watson, the bestselling author of the Timeless trilogy, a sci-fi thriller series that challenges the concepts of time travel and multiverses. Like Justin, the host (me) Pete loves a good time-travel story, but it seems the sort of stories being told with these classic devices are rather bad; best example being the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We talk to Justin about why he thinks the MCU is broken, and how the use of time travel and multiverses in movies like Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home has ruined the storytelling and logic of the Marvel universe. We also discuss how other popular shows like Doctor Who and Rick and Morty have handled these topics, and what makes a good sci-fi story. Also, Doctor Who, also Stein's Gate, also Chrono Trigger, and a hundred other popular time-travel stories.
