Quotes

–Andy, on equal opportunity listening experiences. [00:2:30]
If you have never read a Batman comic before, all you need to know is there's this dude called Batman, he has a few social problems and a really tricky attitude about justice.
–Andy, on coming to comics for the first time. [00:3:34]

–Andy, on unattentive comic shops. [00:15:43]
