Hey everyone. Good morning! It’s your Friendly Neighbourhood Previously Editor with a round-up of all the news in the world of comics and entertainment. We’ve lost some greats in the comics world since our last Previously, so this is going to be a somber piece.

Previously On Comics: SAG strike
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.

Previously On Comics
