Brian & David cover a lot of ground in this Issue, talking about everything from anticipated 2018 comic book movies to dollars vs. awards to creators charging to sign your comics.
Also, what are your 'bucket list comics'? Peter or Miles? Michael Keaton or Christian Bale? An Edward Norton Riddler & the Wolverine of Spades? Will SyFy's 'Krypton be any good?
