The Indie Con Men talk is back with Proper Manga?! Kev explains to Andy that you can get actually money for your property instead of giving it away. So much for the socialist paradise.

Andy interviews Kevin to try to figure out what happened. Unsure how successful the end result is. Will podcasting branding help your sales? Back Issue buying comes up.

Weekly Young Jump No. 23. (Susumu Matsushita Company) 2019. Andy knows nothing and he failed to learn Japanese from reading this. Purchased at an airport in Japan, you can get buy online but all the sites found were in Japanese. The cover features a main figure of a man in blue armor wielding a sword, serializing multiple stories with credits in Japanese. Apologies for not providing specific names but can’t read Japanese.

Go-Bots #1-5 by Tom Scioli. (IDW) Of course with those two, it was inevitable. We only discuss issues 2 through 4. Episode 414 is where we discuss #1 but Kevin and Andy have been shouting it out frequently.

Shout Outs:
