Quod Erat Inveniendum! This week we feature a chat thought lost with the Comicstorian from Denver Comic Con '15. We'd had some trouble locating this file due to technical difficulties arising from recording on site at DCC but El Hawkez refused to give up and now The Jedi Ras is very pleased to bring you a very fun interview with comic book YouTuber , The Comicstorian. Following that, Da Nerdette, host of The Comics and Coffee podcast drops by to share her reactions to all the amazing trailer goodness that came out of San Diego comic Con last weekend, focusing on  Batman v. Superman and The Suicide Squad.
