Ten Cent Takes

This week’s Dollar Bin Discovery is Neon! Everything is louder, brighter, and just a little more extreme. Mike got into some vibrant sci-fi with Radical Dreamer #1. Jessika, meanwhile, checked out Deadpool: Back in Black #1, proving that black costumes can still deliver colorful action. Grab your sunglasses! 

Our next deep dive tackles Howard the Duck... not the character so much as infamous 1986 movie and Marvel's adaptation. We're talking about what's arguably Hollywood’s strangest comic-book movie and whether its tie-in comic it improves on the source material.
Spoiler: It doesn't. 

This week’s Dollar Bin Discovery theme is High Octane, where speed comes in more than one flavor. Mike took a lap with Legends of NASCAR #6, bringing plenty of racing action and ’90s promotional energy, while Jessika dove into action-packed seas with Captain Nauticus & The Ocean Force.

This week we're taking flight with our most niche comic yet, Engel: Pandoramicum. Originally designed to promote a German RPG, the comic expands one of the most fascinating tabletop settings of a fallen future with mixed results. 

This week, we're channeling Prismatic Power with two comics that couldn’t be more different.
Mike suffered through Judgement Day #1 from Lightning Comics, while Jessika uncovered adventure and mysticism in Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny #4. One shines with pulpy treasure-hunting energy. The other mostly shines because of the foil cover. Guess which is which. 

This week’s Dollar Bin Discoveries get Ooey Gooey with two very different kinds of comic-book sludge. Jessika dove into Warriors of Plasm #1 for a heap of malleable alien weirdness, while Mike checked out Captain America #395 (featuring the unforgettable “The House That Dripped Dough!”)
Sometimes the goo is cosmic. Sometimes it’s pastry-related.

This week, we’re jumping into light speed with Star Wars: Infinities, Dark Horse’s trilogy of “what if?” stories that remixed the original films.
Join us as we explore how these comics spin the classic stories from a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

Comedy comes in very different flavors this week, as our latest Dollar Bin Discovery theme is "Haha." Mike dug up Dead Clown #1 for the finest in edgelord humor, while Jessika cracked up with Funnytime Features #3.

Our latest deep dive looks at Mr. Monster: Origins from Dark Horse. A satirical throwback to Golden Age horror comics with a modern twist, it's an origin story that (mostly) works as a sendup to the genre it love.

This week’s Dollar Bin Discovery is Shapeshifters, where nothing stays the same for long. Mike rolled out with Transformers Generation 2 #1 for some classic robots-in-disguise action. Meanwhile, Jessika stepped into the chaos of Shade the Changing Man #1 (1990).
