#298 - Our worldwide best of 2024

Some phans will know that every year we review and discuss
EVERYTHING that has been released from the year before and give
our opinions on it. In 2024 there were 112 comics released over
14 countries from around the world and close to 30 different
Phantom products released for phans to buy. That means every
week, there is at least two Phantom comics and or items to
purchase to add to your collection.


It is not easy to do this under two hours. Get your milk stout
ready and join us.


We love comments and feedback from the Phantom phans from around
the world. You can either email us, leave your comments at our
YouTube Channel, and or leave them at our social media platforms
in Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram.
