WDW Radio # 695 - Interviews from New York ComicCon: Scot Drake and Brian Volk-Weiss I just returned from New York Comic Con 2022, and want to share two of the conversations I had while there. The first is with Scot Drake, Creative Executive Marvel Global Portfolio from Walt Disney Imagineering about Marvel and its place in the Disney Parks and Experiences around the world.
