We are back in the studio this week following Planet Comicon. Get the details of three incredible days where we raised money for Hero Initiative, held panels in packed rooms, and met some great comic creators. It's only been two weeks since we last discussed Daredevil: Born Again, but we have three episodes to catch up on. Which one was your favorite? Diamond Distribution has a new owner. There is a lot to unpack with this topic, but the main question remains, "Will they get the books to shops on time?" Speaking of comics, we have our weekly Pick 3 choices sponsored by Clint's Comics.

Welcome to House of Comics #13! Seeing that the podcast is officially an adolescent, we injected some teenage angst into our topic of the day. We highlighted some of our ‘favorite’ teenage superheroes and debate what defines a character’ “teenage” years in terms of comic continuity. We also fail to ignore the elephant in the room and do a deep dive into DC deciding to cut ties with Diamond Distribution after 25+ years. Although we spent a fair amount of time talking about the impact this could have on the industry, we eventually got around to what really matters at the end of the day – the books.
