Our Son Pete 16: The One Where Onslaught Bums Everyone Out (with Daniel Kibblesmith)

Writer Daniel Kibblesmith (Archie & Friends: All Action, Netflix’s Inside Job) joins Dan to talk about Excalibur #101, in which the gang returns from their London adventure to get bummed out about Onslaught and drink from Rory’s carefully labeled iced tea pitcher, all but assuring his transformation into Ahab.
