Why Not?! Read Alpha Flight with Chris & Tom

Shownotes Transcript

**Welcome to Why Not?!, Episode 10: “Have It Your Way”**We discuss the immediate aftermath of Issue 12 and its series-altering, explosive finale. From there we move onto something much worse and far more scarring: ROM the Space Knight!In this episode, Chris:

  • waxes poetic about Larry Hama’s run creating THE LORE for G.I. Joe as part of a licensing deal with Marvel
  • wants some poutine from JoJo’s
  • gives Mantlo some credit…for now

Tom:

  • remembers reading Marvel comics online when the panels would pop out at you (it was a weird time on the internet)
  • wishes we could work in more Warhammer 40K content
  • likes saying “ROM”; isn’t so sure about the comic itself
