12 | What Are You Reading?

After 11 long episodes, the entire crew is finally united for the 12th. We’re kind of like the Justice League. This week, we’re all brought together to discuss Season 2 of Robert Kirkman and AMC’s The Walking Dead. Don and Dallas are absolute fans of the show, Rook is a huge fan of the comic, and Al hasn’t seen it yet. Good times and technical difficulties ensue.
