Previously On Comics: Scott Pilgrim is Back
Good morning friends. I hope you are well and keeping hydrated. It’s another short and sweet one from me today and honestly I don’t know if that’s because it’s been a very quiet week in comics or because our ability to share news is fracturing along with social media but those are big thoughts for…

Good morning friends, how are we all today? This week’s Previously On will be slightly more comics adjacent than usual as it seems that comics people have either been incredibly well behaved or considerably less vocal with their nonsense.
