This week, Cory!! and Joe and thinking about disasters. No, not the Catwoman movie, but REAL disasters like flood, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, Housequakes, all of those things. But they don’t talk about how cool the footage is on the Weather Channel, no, they talk about how to keep your loved ones safe. Your comic books.

Along the way, they discuss normal storage, comic book supplies, insurance, and much, much more!

They also ask you to VOTE for a greeting card design so that a listener can get a $10,000 scholarship!
