Hey everyone - Had some slight production difficulties this time around, so Joe&#x27;s audio is less clean than we&#x27;d like it to be, and he cuts out for a bit near the end - various programs were being uncooperative. That said, we still have a great show for you today! We&#x27;re discussing Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Battlestar Galactica, and Vision vols 1-2!
