Comics journalism rarely gets a spotlight on it, but this week the Awesome Pod guys are joined by Gary Watson of Comics Anonymous to discuss the highs, lows and more of the part of comics that can make, break and infuriate when it comes to the medium we all love. Theres talk of responsible reviews, press releases, pushy creators, clickbait links and so much more. Theres also plenty of chat about some awesome books to check out, upcoming events, handy reference drawing tools and the best name for a journalist ever is created.

Plus the out take is not for the squeamish and completely NSFW... at all. Seriously. You have been warned.

Great stuff to check out this week: Comics Anonymous, Gary Watson, The United, The Beauty, Serial Killer (Ream Em and Weep Book 1), Vietnam Zombie Holocaust, Grinidon, Supernaut,
