In this episode, Jermayn Parker is joined by co-host Stephen East as they review the Australian comics and include a few rants about Frew missing the mark and other things that are bothering them. Scott Waldyn and Christian Moller also join in with their reviews of comics released in the USA, Germany, and Austria.
Normally, these podcasts are our attempt to wrap up everything from comic reviews to catching up on the latest Newspaper Comics Kingdom stories and related news from around the world. As it has been two months since we last reviewed everything that has happened in the Phantom's world, we have split the wrap-up podcast into two. In the last podcast we discussed all the related Phantom news and reviewed the Newspaper daily and Sunday stories.
We love comments and feedback from the Phantom phans from around the world. If you agree and/or disagree with us, you can either email us; leave your comments at our YouTube channel, and/or leave them at our social media platforms on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram.
