Welcome to the Ranger Ryan Show, featuring Trade Paperbacks. Which is a Comic Book Podcast where we will be discussing comic books, plain and simple, issue by issue. The Comic Book industry has been transformed over the past few years and has struggled to remain relevant in an environment of Superhero Fatigue plaguing our cinemas. It's clear that the public is not showing up to the cinema, but when you look back at the source material there are plenty of great stories yet to be told. We will look at comics from the past and present comparing the writing, artwork, and entertainment value.
