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.

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

Wednesday Nov 06, 2024

Wednesday Nov 06, 2024

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.

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.

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!

Issue 95- Planet of Vampires

Wednesday Oct 09, 2024

Wednesday Oct 09, 2024

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. 

Wednesday Oct 02, 2024

Have you ever looked at a comic and thought that it looks ridiculous and terrible... but you *have to* read it?
Us neither. Anyway, this week's Dollar Bin Discovery theme is "Absurd Abominations."

Issue 94: The Jack of Hearts

Wednesday Sep 25, 2024

The superhero with one of the craziest costumes in the Marvel Universe in his own miniseries! It's got everything: A bonkers storyline! Nick Fury! Psychic flashbacks! Comics Code-approved orgies! 
Man, the 80s were wild.

Wednesday Sep 18, 2024

Did you know September is Bi Pride Month? That means it's time for us to scope out some Dollar Bin Discoveries featuring proud bi characters!
Jessika scoped out Old Lady Harley 3 while Mike read Hellblazer 51, two DC comics featuring two very different forms of representation!
