Better Than Fiction Episode #348! 1st Issue Special and Age of Ultron!

Episode #348! We are back together this week talking "Cool Stuff". In the mid-70's DC Comics had a short lived series called "1st Issue Special". The Warlord, Dr. Fate and The Creeper sprang from it. DL has a preview of the new hardcover that collects the entire run. Next up, Scott has "Jasper Mall". This documentary (currently on Amazon Prime) focuses on a struggling Alabama shopping mall. To finish this episode, Barry gives us his take on the collected "Age of Ultron" hardcover. It doesn't sound like he is a fan of modern comic book storytelling. Check it out!
