back the one and only Paul Herman how you doing Paul I am doing very well Sean. Thank you. It's been an end of an era for me. I started a new job. It's been kind of crazy.

2020 we talked about before we started recording. It's been quite the year, but, but, uh, but, but, uh, but, at the same time, I've been just, you know, reading a lot of comics comics lately a little bit more than I

probably usually have and it's just been a lot of fun going through reading a lot

of older Marvel books that I've been meaning to kind of get to and just having a lot of fun just kind of diving in and that's kind of the thing about Marvel and I think a lot of these IPs or brands or whatever which I hate saying those words, by the way.

But what's a lot of fun is that when you,

if you're a fan listening to the show or watch the films,

there's this big plethora of stuff that deep dive into whether it be the comics or the

cartoons and for me it's you know most of it's the comics was also the cartoons

and other stuff too but there's so much to dive into you know different you

know mythologies or or just histories and you can immerse yourself in anything

of Marvel and it's just so rad that we get in this day and age that we can do that.

Back in the day you had to like go to the comic store and you know spend all this time

and money and just be intimidated but now it's just you know really just kind of ask a few people

where do I go or where do I start or whatever and you just kind of go and kind of figured things out as you go and it's just so cool we can do that so yeah it's been really cool going
