Behind The Panels Issue 118 - Spider-Man: Blue

Behind The Panels Issue 118 - Spider-Man: BlueWelcome to Behind the Panels Issue 118, the comic book show that’s about to get a little blue. (Or that “blue” itself?)

In this issue, Howard the Duck is back with an all-new ongoing series. Why do we let him lick us like that? ALSO Ant-Man is getting his own novel. Can we get it in large print? THEN It’s Multiversity: Pax Americana, Intersect, Spider-Woman and a bit of Interstellar in What We’ve Been Reading.

PLUS our Kick-Ass Pick of the Week: Spider-Man: Blue by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, and we’ll be joined by a familiar voice on the Geek Actually network. This is Behind the Panels.

Your Hosts: Richard Gray, David McVay, and Dave Longo. Guest Host: Nicholas McVay
