We take you back to December, 1993, a month when the Valiant Universe celebrated Christmas. We explore the Valiant holiday season. This is the perfect episode to go along with your favorite comics, staying warm by the fire, and enjoying a cup of cocoa (or something stronger!). The weather outside is frightful, but this episode is so delightful. This episode has all the Valiant goodness you could hope for.

In this episode, we let Chiclo take the reigns and guide us through a discussion of dead universes. We take a step beyond Valiant to discuss Ultraverse, Crossgen, Comic’s Greatest World, Milestone, Comico, etc, etc, etc. If you have ever had an interest in all of the comic universes beyond the big two, sit back and listen in.

Special Edition! This episode is a result of an impromptu discussion between Sean, Chiclo, and Zeph on the comics industry. This episode goes a little off topic as we discuss what happened to the comics industry for the last 20 years, from boom to bust to scrapping by, plus our visions for the future of the comic book industry.
