On this week's episode, we have special guest Dirk Manning on to talk about his latest book releases, how he's managed to survive and thrive in the comics industry, and so much more. If you're an aspiring writer you absolutely don't want to miss what Dirk has to say!

Over the last couple of weeks we've learned that Iron Fist and Luke Cage will not be returning for third seasons on Netflix, and new reports are suggesting that Daredevil and Jessica Jones aren't safe from the chopping block either. We talk about when the shift in excitement for these shows changed, and how the desire to connect the shows for the Defenders series could have doomed Marvel on Netflix.
