Jimmy and Producer Joe welcome Avery Kaplan (Comics Beat Features Editor) and Lisa Gullickson (Comic Book Couples Counseling Podcast) to talk about our personal Best of 2023!

And we didn't read/see everything so there may be some we missed. But we think you will enjoy our picks! What were some of your favorites? Also, get a hold of us! Thanks for listening!
