Hey Bobby, Simple question but do you bag and board your comics? I really enjoy the show! I love getting great ideas on new things to read from the show but it is bad on my wallet.

Honestly, I used to bag and board them all, but I've gotten less and less precious with the physical aspect of owning comics. I will organize them into bins and attempt to keep them in decent condition but I no longer stress about it. Thank you for the kind words!

I feel that alot of people think that someday their books are gonna be worth a fortune. The reality is that that is probably not going to happen. And its expensive for bags and boards! for 100 bags and boards its roughly 16$. Thats book money! I think im just going to keep them in boxes from now on, with out bags and boards. They should stay just fine.

I try to buy only stuff I think is good enough to read over and over.It doesn't always work out that way because you don't always know if what you're buying will be consistently good. That is my main reason for bagging and boarding my stuff. Single issues are held together by two staples so I imagine they won't last too long without protection. But I only have about 12 titles only pull list and read mostly in trade so I probably am not spending as much as other people on bags and boards.

Do you think DC's mini re-launch will scupper Secret Wars at all for Marvel?
Personally I find the entire Secret Wars event rather confusing, I mean what's the difference between a Warzone and Battleworld title? however DC have been extremely clear in their announcement about what the universe will be in June.
In addition the diversity in DC's titles certainly empowers me to hold on to any money I was going to spend between May and September on Secret Wars titles tying the current Marvel universe and what remains after and spend it instead on trying a larger selection of the new DC titles which will definitely exist 3 months later. I also feel that I should support these titles as they show DC listening to their audience and reacting accordingly.
However I do think Marvel will fight back in September when they launch their new, and hopefully diverse, line.
Cheers.

Great to see you enjoy COPRA, Bobby! It's actually up to issue 19 now, so after you get Round 2 you can try to go to his website and see if he has any issues left. I get them mailed to my house. He lives in Brooklyn, and maybe is of French descent but I think he's American. This is his love letter to Ostrander's Suicide Squad, so I think Bob would love this, too.

If it's influenced by ostranders suicide squad then I'm in. That's one of my favorite runs

This is a question that comes mostly from my bad memory, but I just went back and listened to episode #50 about the Dark Knight Returns because for some reason I missed that one in going back and listening to older episodes and I've always wanted to hear TC's opinion on DKR (my favourite of all time) Anyway I know this is going back a while, but you mention in the episode how much you loved Wonder Woman at the time and I don't recall you ever talking about it since, especially recently with Azzarello's end on the run, and was wondering if you finished the run seeing as you seemed to be loving it so much at the time?

When you get a chance check out this BBC series called Utopia, it's pretty fucking grand. A story about a graphic novel predicting great tragedies in the world. Some info on it here, www.imdb.com/title/tt2384811/

Hey Bobby I just started re-reading Scott Snyder's Superman Unchained and on the first page of issue 4 he kind of hints at issue 40 of Batman. It's not a huge thing but when I saw it I thought it was pretty cool.
