Only the interior is different.</p><p>I have some thoughts to share about this book. I have a big question: does the order we read these books color our views of these books? I read Passive first, and now I don't have any way to go back in time and read Aggressive first.</p><p>Or do I?</p><p>Also, in my previous episode, I had a called shot about Passive Aggressive, that it would be the key to the redemption program that the buttons have alluded to. I was partly correct, that there was something up with this book, and a big hidden secret. I have an updated Called Shot now, and it is worse. So, so, so much worse.</p><p>Timecodes:<br>01:15 - FunDunked<br>08:00 - Two books, not one<br>14:57 - Passive Aggressive<br>22:24 - Magic Intervention<br>24:03 - Aggressive Passive<br>29:35 - The Magic Ends<br>33:45 - WARNING<br>36:06 - Updated Called Shot</p><p>One caveat: Overthinking Comics is not responsible for any action you may take as a result of listening to these crazy theories.
