Best Comics of 2024 So Far: A Mid-Year Checkin with Ben of Gotham City Limit Comic Shop

This episode was recorded at Gotham City Limit comic shop with Ben Kingsbury (the owner!). Ben and Badr chop it up about their predictions for SDCC 2024, and discuss Marvel's big events (Blood Hunt & The Ultimate Universe) vs DC's big events (Absolute Universe & All-In initiative). They also talk about what it takes to run a successful comic shop, lessons learned from being a shop owner, and the oversaturation of variant covers in the market. Ben also shares his favorite comics of the year, sleeper titles of 2024, and what new comics he's most excited about coming out later this year. There's A LOT of reading recommendations being shared in this episode, so have a notepad ready - It's a good one!

Wow, this is just what I needed. I’ve taken a break from comics to focus on reading books, but now I’m eager to catch up on the comics I’ve missed.
