Mega Con Breaking News with Aaron Sparrow and Dolan Waddick!

March 5, 2026·1 hr 27 min·10 clips

The hour starts through ad noise. Once the stray Reh Park and IKEA spots are out of the way, the host slips into shop talk with Aaron Sparrow before Mega Con. Dolan Waddick is late because of car trouble, so Aaron handles the first stretch while they get into TCM Press and the Comic Mint. It has that loose live-stream feel: a little messy, a little funny, and very much in the room with the chat. Mega Con gives them an easy reason to talk booths, releases, and what readers can still pick up. Golem becomes the main thing. Aaron lays out the balance they wanted: culturally appropriate, not vulgar, not exploitative, but still a comic people would enjoy reading. The host is clearly sold. He says the team nailed it, calls it fun, and starts checking where people can buy it. The search turns into part of the segment. Comic Mint availability, a hard to find online footprint, and dropping a link in chat all become normal comics business. Unholy Nightmare comes up without much ceremony. The host remembers owning issues one and two, then says he thought he missed Golem because he could not find it with his other books. Aaron keeps it pretty plain and admits TCM still has work to do online, which makes the whole bit feel more like creators and retailers talking in public than a polished promo stop. Near the end, the show drifts back into fandom. Batman, Robin, Superman World, and Hell Hunters come up while the host praises a writer he keeps enjoying. It closes casually, with a nod toward Saturday, thanks to the chat, and the stream winding down like a comic shop hangout.
