Join us as Logan and Richard travel to an exotic island and discover a strange, weird, and creepy hotel. The hotel in question is the Voynich Hotel, not well known the world over, with more than likely a lower star rating than most hotels. Depending on what you like of course.

In this episode Logan and Richard check out one of Konami’s newest ways to play the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card game using Speed Duel Decks. This go around we look at Destiny Masters Speed Duel Decks. Each box contains 3 specific character duel decks. One is Yami Yugi themed, another is Ishizu Ishtar themed, and the third is Pegasus themed. The decks include 20 cards per deck, 3 skill cards per each deck (specific to the character), and 1 Ultra Rare variant card per deck. See what we think about the speed duel decks. Many thanks to Konami and Hill and Knowlton Strategies for their continued support of ComicPop Library in providing us with samples.
Are you the master of your own domain? We always believe we are, but what if you weren’t. What if another is the master and likes to pull strings and those strings belong to literally killer puppets?

What do you collect? We love collecting our collections of books, comics/manga, movies, toys, and trading card games. As a collector you would think a movie entitled The Collector would be great for us. It is a good fit for us, but in a different way than what you might expect. This “Collector” loves his horror and I have to admit we like our horror here as well. Join the ComicPop Crew as we discuss Marcus Dunstan’s feature horror film The Collector.
