Don't panic, it's just Bill.

And this is the Drawbox podcast.

Wait a minute.

No, it isn't.

This is Comic Geekspeak, episode 948, off-the-rack reviews.

And welcome to Comic Geekspeak. My name is Peter.

And let me introduce you to our guest for this episode. Say hello.

Hi. This is Alec Perrault.

How you doing?

Pretty good. It's cool to be here.

You can get a little closer to the mic to them. There you go. He's new. He's nervous.

Yeah.

Trying to work out the Kings form. How do you feel?

Shocked. It's like a dream come true kind of. I always listen to this stuff. It's cool to be on it, actually.

Cool. Well, the reason why it's just Alec and myself is because half of our crew is broken or hacking and out in the wood somewhere. And it just worked out. It was like, what's that, what's that game? Ten little Indians on a bed, right? And then one falls off dead. That literally was in my mailbox. It was like, oh, I can't make it tonight. Oh, I can't make it tonight. I'm not going to be there. I was like, oh, and it went all down to one. And unfortunately for Alex, Alex, excuse me, we were going to, he was going to watch us record an episode because he's writing a paper in college. Why don't you talk about that? Well, I always listen to CGS since probably about almost a year now. I've been listening to it. And my teacher assigned us a paper. And I thought, hey, I'm going to do a CGS on it. And I sent you an email out. But I guess it arrived two weeks later, something like that. So I was like, crap, maybe I can do this as an extra credit or something.

And my teacher said, well, we have another research paper coming up, and you could do that then. I sent you a couple of emails, and I thought I'd be watching it. And I'm actually on it, which is pretty crazy. I'm recruited you. You're not going to be able to watch. I have some, it's a Monday episode and I have some information I need to get out.

So I was like, Alec, you're going to be my co-host for this today.

I got no problem with that.

All right. You're not going to be able to watch. I have some, it's a Monday episode and I have some information I need to get out.

So I was like, Alec, you're going to be my co-host for this today.

I got no problem with that. All right. First, let's talk about your story because your email was cool. You just got into comics a year ago. Almost a year. Almost a year ago. Okay. Talk about that. well my buddy got into comics I don't know, maybe two years ago or something like that. And I was like, hey, he's reading comics. Maybe we could do it together, have a little hobby and argue and stuff like that, kind of like comic geek speak. And so he got me into comics. And I don't remember what the first issue was maybe. I think it was new Avengers. And I read that. I was like, wow. I always had this little view on comics not being that entertaining are great and i read that i was like wow i always had this

little view on comics not being that entertaining or great and i read that and i was like this
