David is joined by Editor-in-Chief of Fun Time Go, Inc., Chase Marotz, for a free-dive into the wild world of comics, from their weekend adventures with snare drums, cold beers, and tall stacks of comics, to the wild world of comic book publishing rights and the decades-long saga of Miracleman, one of the industry’s most infamous legal nightmares.

Then, Chase steps into the ring to do the unthinkable: defend The Clone Saga. Love it or hate it, this polarizing Spider-Man storyline gets its day in court as Chase makes a case for its redemption.
