About this episode

The episode discusses the phenomenon of superheroes getting new costumes for marketing purposes, particularly in relation to X-Men comics.

Episode Notes Sometimes superheroes get new clothes for no reason other than the fact that it sells variant convers and maybe could be a microtransaction in a video game. This is call the Spider-Man sales plan.
