Issue 99: Marvel Nemesis- The Imperfects

Ever wondered what happened when Marvel and Electronic Arts threw the rulebook out the window and introduced a whole new batch of imperfect villains? 
This week, we're diving into Marvel Nemesis: The Imperfects, the comic series that brought us a cursed take on the Marvel Universe with some truly questionable character designs.

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Holiday 2024 Edition

It's December, which means it's officially Holiday Season! We're kicking the new month off with some comics that teach us all the true meaning of Christmas: unhinged dollar bin comics!
Mike found the Generation X Holiday Special and Jessika picked up the DCU Holiday Special 2010. 

Issue 98: Sharkasaurus

We're bringing back another Dollar BIn Discovery and looking a literal landshark: Sharkasaurus! 
Jessika is taking us on a tour of the property's history, including the short film that inspired the graphic novel. Get ready for an epic battle between paleontologists, creationists, and a carnivorous cryptid!

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Goofy Goobers Edition

It's time to return to the dollar bins! This felt like a week where we needed a fun topic, so Jessika went with "Heroes Being Goofy Goobers."Mike picked up Action Comics 560 for some Ambush Bug silliness, while Jessika went with Garth Ennis's absurd All Star Section Eight.

A Brief Intermission/Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos

We're taking a mental health break (like many of you probably are) this week. As such, we're re-releasing one of our favorite episodes: Chuck Norris' Karate Kommandos. 
This is one of our favorite episodes, and we hope it provides the distraction you need. 

Issue 97: Nightcat

It's the episode Mike's wanted to record ever since we started the podcast! This week we're looking at Nightcat, Marvel's 1991 pop star who sings like she's straight out of 1986!
We're looking at both the comic and the album accompanying it, as well as talking about why the project might've failed to take off with fans. 

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Spooktacular Edition

In honor of Halloween this week, we picked up some spooktacular comic booOOooOoks in the dollar bins!
Jessika read the creepy and fantastical adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's Conqueror Worm. Mike... well, he picked up the 90s Malibu comic Lord Pumpkin. 

Issue 96- Creepshow (w/David M Booher!)

It's still October, which means we're still covering Spooky Season™ comics! This week, we're talking about Stephen King's Creepshow.
Joining us for this episode is 1980s Stephen King expert (and friend of the podcast) David M. Booher!

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Wandering West Edition

Howdy pardner. This week, we're hanging out in the saloon and checking out some Western comics!
Mike brought the Mad Max-esque Hex #1 to the table, while Jessika picked up the classic Ringo Kid #7.

Issue 95- Planet of Vampires

In honor of Spooky Season™ officially arriving, we're looking at Planet of Vampires! This 1970s horror comic (initially written by Larry Hama!) aims to deliver a sinister dystopian story, but serves up something so-so.
