Summary

As the team relaxes after Free Comic Book Day, they decide to record the Issues of the Day for this month. Like last month, Henry, Emily and Shanclen each bring their own topic: Shanclen has an isue with con funk. Is it something that needs to be eliminated or just part of the con experience? Emily asks whether there is too much nostalgia, with films like Masters of the Universe and Mortal Kombat 2 on the way. Finally, Henry brings up the elephant that has been on all of your social media: Are you all not enjoying conventions the way you used to? If so, why?
