The Captioned Life Show will be on hold indefinitely. It's tough to share this but the last couple of weeks affirmed that I've made the right decision.

There are no plans on when or if we will start back up the show. The show's social media accounts will also be inactive during this time. If you like to stay in contact, I will be active on my social media accounts that are focused on gaming.

Thank you all for all of your support!

Film student and Comic Watcher Aaron Kleinman join the show to review Marvel Comics’ “Spider-Man: Life Story,” which was a six issues plus one annual series created by Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley. They discussed some of the main, pivotal moments in the series, including the Spidey suits and issues they had with the series, such as how they did Bein Reilly dirty and how Doc Ock married Aunt May. They also touch on what comic books they and the show's listeners are reading.

Aaron Kleinman is a film student who is aiming to work in animation and has also worked in a comic shop for the past 5 years. He first got into comics at a young age when he was gifted single issues and trades by his dad. Justice League Europe #57 was the first issue he remembers reading. Crisis on Infinite Earths was one of the first storyline comics he read, and George Perez's art is arguably where he can trace his want to create back to. Over the years he has done voice acting, stage acting, film acting, animation & film writing, and many other behind-the-scenes work. Creating is in his blood, and it's arguably thanks to comics.

You can find Aaron on social media under the username @maroyasha and also contact him through his website.

You can also find his podcast, “With A-Hyphen.”
