Comics Therapy. No Reviews. Just Analysis.
Happy 4th of July, fellow Americans.
No interview this week, but the show is up a day early. For the people.
Three comics from July 2, 2014. Plus your Nerd Confessions (about your favorite comics EVER) and a bit of Regression Therapy.
Show Notes:

Heroes and villains with a god complex make up probably a third of the books out there. What sorts of things have to be in play to convince an individual that he is all-powerful? And yes, shockingly, all of the delusional characters we’re looking at today happen to be male. Go figure.
