Welcome to the Rob Lifeeld Show featuring Robeservations.

I bring over 40 years experience in the world of comic books and entertainment.

Across five decades, I offer insights and opinions on the business and the art of comic books and pop culture.

If it's happening in games, in streaming, in movies, in comic books, we are covering it and

discussing it right here.

Hey, everybody, and welcome back to the Rob Leifeld Show featuring Robeservations and it is a brand new year.

2026 is upon us and we have so very much to discuss.

I hope you had a great holiday.

I hope you had a great end of your 2020, 25, your 2020.

I hope you had a great end of your 2020, 25, your 2020. I hope you had a great end of your 20, 25. And I am so excited that you are here and we're going to talk comics today.

This show, as I say in the bumper that you see beforehand, uh, I just want to emphasize

more than anything, because sometimes

I think about this show. This show is so weird to me. You know, it's not monetized. It's not a show

that is meant to make money. It's something I did, as many of you know, in the summer, spring of 2020,

very lonely, very isolated. I decided to start podcasting and talking comics, hoping to reach an audience of people who wanted to hear about my experience.

This entire podcast has chronicled my journey with comic books since I was a kid, pulling them off the spinner rack just like this one right here.

So many of these comics, some of them ratty-tatty, I pulled off that spinner rack.

None of these comics actually were not pulled off the spinner rack by me. They were, unless they're,

they're one of the, you know, reprints or the true believers that I've got up there. That X-Men

annual pulled that right off of a spinner rack.

That magic is still there.

I can tell you where I was standing the time of day when I pulled that X-Men annual three and the magic that came over me.
