The Karman Blade Surprises Us & Marvel's Digital Future | Panel Chewing #153

A dark fantasy comic surprises both of us, Marvel makes changes to its digital comics strategy, and we finally have a week without trombones! This week on Panel Chewing, Steve and Jarrod discuss Marvel's partnership with Webtoon, the value of digital comic subscriptions, and whether services like Libby and Hoopla offer readers a better alternative. We review Fire and Ice: Dark Wolf #4, Shift #1, Hammerhead #1, Cruel Kingdom Vol. 2 #2, Ice Cream Man: Chocolate Vanilla Twist #1, The Omega Book #3, Regicide #3, and City of Demons #5. For our Pick of the Week, we both choose The Karman Blade #2 , an unpredictable dark fantasy comic from the creators of Little Bird and Precious Metal. Finally, our Lone Wolf and Cub read-along continues with Volume 21: Fragrance of Death, as Ogami Itto faces new dangers and the conflict with Retsudo Yagyu intensifies.
