Today, I ask that you bear with me.

We're going to tackle a subject that I've danced around before, but today we're going to hit it head on buyer beware.

These sites, these these platforms these apps that are constantly

trying to upsell you on some new rumor some first appearance try and get you to chase a comic

that frankly isn't worth the money you're going to pay for it a lot of bad investments going on

out there a lot of bad advice i'm going to give you some wisdom how best to navigate this

some real life and very recent examples of comics that you just got soaked on of dooms and dazzlers gives you a hint of all that we're

going to discuss today on an all new episode of Robeservations.

Hey everybody and welcome to another edition of Robeservations. I am your host, Rob Leifeld. I am recording this

particular episode on vacation, which is why some of the audio may seem as if I am speaking

from the bottom of a toilet bowl. So forgive me if it sounds like I am somewhat submerged.

We're just going to do this for one episode. I didn't pack my special magic microphone. I decided

I could just talk right into the computer. I've got a great production guy. Maybe he can save this.

But greetings to you all. Really, it's not officially the

end of summer, but we all know kind of post-Labor Day. We're into fall. 2024. What a crazy summer it

has been. And I am so excited to talk to you. If you're listening for us for the very first time,

again, this audio is not something that is normally an issue.

And who knows, maybe my production guys can just really make this sound phenomenal.

But we discuss all things superheroes, all things comic books, and the impact they've had on public culture.

I give you a personal viewpoint that I supply from collecting comics for the last,

it's about to be 51 years. It's about to be 51 years and just rich memories of watching the

Marvel universe, the DC universe grow and expand., of course, these pop culture shows and the streaming, you know, the fours, into television, the early stuff when I was a kid, the Incredible Hulk Wonder Woman, and these giant blockbuster movies. And the effect they've had on publishing, the effect publishing's had on them, merchandise, all of it.
