Hiatus
Hi there!
Sequential Statement is going on a brief (< 3 month) hiatus. The reason is because... Nick’s wife had her baby!
Mom and baby are doing great, and we’re taking some time for their family to spend time together and adjust to the new needs of having a 2+1 household.
While we’re out, don’t be a stranger - check out www.sequentialstate.com for new comics reviews, thoughts, and commentary every week!
Episode #10: Back in Orbit
Alex and Nick talk about Alex's recent trip to the Toronto Comics Arts Festival in Toronto, ON. We chat about the last month’s lost episode, Captain America: Civil War, and the recent Captain America/Hydra comic and the resulting fallout.
