On the show this week, we're talking about some heady comic book drama. Specifically, the time that Brian Wood called on people to stop talking about the systemic sexism within the comic book industry, because the perpetrators are a) seemingly untouchable and b) are somehow victims of... their own actions? Seriously, it's pretty messed up, and the comic news sites aren't talking about it - which is weird because not talking about these things is how we arrived here.
In less angering news, we talk about the return of Doctor Who this weekend, and our picks for some of this week's best comics!
Oh by the way, here's a link to what Brian Wood said. Because why not: http://pastebin.com/BkP8r9m0
