Stuff We Discussed
We guest-hosted Circulating Ideas and interviewed Marissa Lieberman about conventions and graphic novels! She has a website about anime and manga programming in libraries called Manga-tize Your Library.
Deadpool vs Comic-Con (Pick a video, any video)

Correction: Thomas understands that a sonic boom is not created by hitting two objects together. He would regret the error, but it remains to be seen if Wonder Woman will create actual sonic booms in the Batman v Superman movie.
