I'm Mike Gallagher. And thanks for joining us. This episode of Comic Geek Speak is brought to you by Fan Expo. Heck yeah. We're going back to Canada, Toronto, August 25th through the 28. It's a four-day con this year. It was so big and bad last year that they just had to go to four days. It's going to be bedlam. It was crazy. You weren't there last year.
