The argument of "hey, we'll just do more of what people click on" is inherently flawed, particularly when it comes to the podcast. I've watched over the past year as the comic book section of the show gets shorter and subjugated to he back of the show and the written reviews dwindle down to a handful a week. The logic behind this is the entertainment press releases get more clicks, so that should take precedence. Do you know how boring it is to listen to the two of you regurgitate press releases? There's nothing to do but speculate, sometimes with only having an actors name attached to a property. Whereas talking about comics, that have a story and art, and connections to a wider universe, THAT has actual intellectual substance (particularly if you eliminate the spoiler phobia that still persists). You're COMICvine, reportedly the largest database of comic information out there. Own your identity.
PS I'm sure some 13 year old (or one with that age's mentality) will flag this post just because I'm "hating" on the site but actually listen to what I'm saying. This golden age of nerd entertainment ain't reflected in the world of sequential art. Look at DC's latest sales numbers. We have to keep championing comics.
