X-Band: Phantom Podcast #266 - November 2023 Comics & New Review



Jermayn Parker, Stephen East and Dan Fraser sit down and discuss the comics news from November 2023 from around the world including products, exhibitions and much more. We are joined by Mikael Lyck, Seuj Abir and Christian Moeller who all review the latest comics from Sweden, India and Germany.


All together we review 15 comics and 25 Phantom stories. No wonder it takes us nearly 2.5 hours to do it...


We also sneak peak some exciting news that you will hear first on our platform for the Phantom video game. Now is the time to subscribe to our YouTube Channel, website and or our social media platforms in Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram.
