On this episode we get together to discuss our “Intention Fails” and whether we managed to get through our 3 for this year and what we chose for the year ahead. For those who weren’t there for the first time ‘Intention Fails’ are comics that we bought with every intention of reading but have then sat on the shelf for some time, unread. So we take this time to pick 3 particular titles and attempt to read them in the year. We have done it for roughly 3-4 years now. Nando, on the other hand, reads his comics as soon as he gets them. SO for him, he was sharing his top reads of 2022. The rest of the gang did this also. Just as an added extra, we all brought along some comics that we got as gifts over the Christmas period. This was just a chance to show off. They say that “No one likes a show off” Well we love one in this case. This and all the usual comics chat on… That Comic Smell! To find out where to find, listen, contact us and buy our comics then please visit thatcomicsmell.com Don’t forget to Like, Share, Subscribe, Rate & Review. Most importantly… Read/Make More Comics!
