Dollar Bin Discoveries: Indy Horror Edition

This week on Dollar Bin Discoveries, we’re getting spooky with our Indy Horror theme! Mike braves the chaotic carnage of Scotch McTiernan’s Halloween Party, while Jessika dives into Spend the Night #1, a slasher throwback with serious scream-queen energy. Indie scares, dollar bin style! 

Issue 117: Legacy

In 1993, Majestic Entertainment launched their first comic, Legacy — except it wasn’t just a comic, it was also a series of trading cards. It dropped right as the comic bubble burst, but the behind-the-scenes drama ended up way more entertaining than the book itself.

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Signature Select Edition

This week on Dollar Bin Discoveries, the theme is Signature Select! Mike cracks open his SDCC-exclusive signed copy of Warrior #1 (written by the Ultimate Warrior), while Jessika leaps into Spring-Heel Jack #3 from Rebel Studios. Big signatures and wild stories await!

Issue 116: 'Mazing Man

Today we’re shining a light on ‘Mazing Man, the cult DC character who makes the world a better place through small acts of kindness. Join us as we examine this silly, sweet, and strange 1980s cult classic.

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Sweet Like Candy Edition

This week’s Dollar Bin Discoveries is “Sweet Like Candy”!  Mike unwraps some oddball weirdness with Reese’s Pieces #2, while Jessika digs into the goofy mayhem of Groo vol. 2 #40. Tune in for comics that are silly, satirical, but probably not sugar-free.

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Ye Olde Comics Edition

This week, we’re digging up some history with our “Ye Olde Comics” theme! Jessika dives into Kill Shakespeare #5, a mash-up of the Bard’s greatest hits. Mike cracked open Yang #1 from 1973—a kung fu comic that’s got more problematic content than it does punch.

Issue 115: I Sell The Dead

Grab your shovel and douse the lantern! This week, we’re digging into the  dark comedy of I Sell the Dead! We check out both the movie and the comic it inspired, unearthing a ton of ghoulish fun along the way.

Dollar Bin Discoveries: First Issues Edition

This week, we’re cracking open some first issues! Jessika dives into Wolf #1 from Image Comics, a mythology-soaked noir with plenty of strange twists, while Mike takes on Stan Lee's very meta attempt at creating a new superhero team with Stan Lee’s Mighty 7 #1. Sometimes the first step is the weirdest one!

Issue 114: Ms Mystic

This week, we wade into the tangled, lawsuit-laden history of Neal Ms. Mystic, a character who spent more time in court than she did in coherent storylines. From the book's stalled debut to its baffling dialogue, we unpack how this comic manages to be both weird and… weirdly awful.

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Smooth Operator Edition

This week, we're reading “Smooth Operator” comics. Jessika dives into James Bond: Varger #1, bringing all the espionage and elegance you’d expect. Mike, however, takes on Taskmaster #1 (2002)... after all, who doesn't like a mercenary with photographic reflexes and questionable charm?
