Christmas 2024: The DC Super-Star Holiday Special

Merry Christmas, everyone! We're re-releasing an episode specifically focused on the holiday. Our look into the DC Super-Star Holiday Special has been one of our most popular deep dives since we released, and it's also one of our favorites. We'll be back on a regular release schedule next week with a new dollar bin discovery, Merry Christmas, everyone.

Dollar Bin Discoveries: Holiday Horror Edition

This week we're diving into the spooky side of the season with a look at holiday horror comics!
From twisted holiday tales to eerie creepy conspiracies we're unwrapping the dark side of the holidays with Some Strange Disturbances: A Cold Winter's Eve and The X-Files!

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!
