Lean is "new" to comic collecting, and comes at it from both angles, investing as well as reading. After binging close to 50 episodes of our podcast in a few weeks, Lean highlighted that in many cases we discuss many comic topics with the assumption that listeners have a sound understanding and knowledge of collecting. As result we thought it would be great to invite Lean on to a couple of episodes to discuss "Collecting 101", and explore the basics of how/where/what/when to collect!

The Question "Where do I start?" is surprisingly difficult to answer and lead us down a rabbit hole of debates and nostalgia. That considered, don't expect a quick Q&A as we have many distractions along the way. We deviate to jump on points for Star Wars (reading and investment) and how Movies, and TV fed the popularity of the comics.

We follow that by exploring the cadence of comic publication, resetting series with a number 1 issues and the thinking behind why larger publishers are so quick to reset their titles.

As always, the episode is filled with distractions and laughs from 80's toys franchises to breast feeding we got it covered!!

Grab a beer and enjoy the episode
