Ep. 6 - Spider-Geddon #2 (2018) Review, Bane in Gotham, Army of Darkness meets Bubba Ho-Tep

It's almost time for Halloween! Gil was once again on the road (this time in Washington, DC) but had to review DC Vertigo's **Lucifer #1 (2018)** to help us get in the Halloween spirit. This complex story is dark, funny, intriguing, and a worthy continuation of the story which began in Neil Gaiman's original run of Sandman 30 years ago! NOTE: This podcast was first published as a special [VIDEO EDITION](https://youtu.be/Zy8kcYvGimE) of Gil Reads Comics. Watch here: [https://youtu.be/BSvS3exkJYw](https://youtu.be/Zy8kcYvGimE) and subscribe to know whenever Gil and Adam publish new videos!

Definitely recommend the video edition for the full Halloween experience (i.e. there are some fancy special effects)!
